And today we are looking at the always lovely Kate Winslet. What I love about this girl is that she is not the traditional Hollywood stick figure, and she has always been proud of that and of her curves. Here she is at the National Board of Review Gala in New York City the other night and she is exquisitely wrapped in a gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana gown. Keeping the look simple, she paired the dress with simple strappy sandals and an elegant clutch.

From Nordstrom’s is this elegant strapless silk dress by Nicole Miller. I love the look of the silk with the ruched bodice. Me and ruching are very good friends this year, I think it is a look that flatters anyone. Add that to the empire waist that is equally flattering, and you have a very pretty feminine line in a simple LBD that you can do SO much with!
From Roger Vivier is this gorgeous set of strappy sandals. These babies are made of silk, satin, AND leather so you know they are going to feel great. I love the gathered satin strapping as well as the satin footbed and leather sole. To top off the 3 ¾” heels, the shoes feature a wide satin strap around the ankle with a suede trim buckle. Shoes don’t get this lush, this often.
Ever the hero Ali Larter is braving the hazy days of shopping in L.A. here in a gorgeous sheath dress by Dolce and Gabbana that she paired with a Balenciaga bag and of course, Christian Louboutin peep-toed pumps.

I love this Baranda Women’s Cap Sleeve Scoop Neck Knit Dress with Satin Tie Waist
that I saw on Amazon for about $25. The pretty satin will add just the right touch of dress up to your day wear, and this satin sash comes in at an empire waist that will flatter any figure. I love dresses like these because they are so darn comfortable as well. The scoop neck and capped sleeves will definitely flatter your neckline at the same time. What is not to love?
You had to know I was going to go with the real deal when it comes to the shoes, because Louboutin just simply can not be replaced. These pretty Christian Louboutin Yoyo Zeppa slingbacks feature his signature red sole, a platform heel, and very flattering sling-back ankle and peep-toe features.
You gotta love Amazon, they are coming in quite the competition with eBay when it comes to purchasing designer goods at affordable prices. Ran across this Balenciaga Ledix Motorcycle Handbag
that is a very close match to the one Ali is carrying. You can purchase this new or used, and save a fortune if you pick it up at Amazon.
Oh the celebrity life. Here is Jennifer Garner looking immaculate as ever in a beautiful Dolce and Gabbana navy dress, white wrap, and heels with bow detailed. She was visiting in Paris for the premier of her most recent film The Kingdom.

Here is a gorgeous Satin Dress by Nicole Miller from Nordstrom’s. Fully lined, it features an elegant square neckline and is the perfect sheath for this season’s silhouette look.
This shawl is from the Himalaya Trading Company at Overstock and is pure pashmina so you will know you are wrapped in nothing but luxury with this one. With the purity of this fine cashmere, you will have nothing but elegant softness and a beautiful sheen. This scarf is also versatile enough that you can wear it day or night. You won’t believe the price either, we are talking RIDICULOUS savings.
Pair the entire look with these gorgeous pumps by Via Spiga. This is the Via Spiga Mentina - Women’s
and features a bow with leather detailing that gives you just enough edge as well.
Here you are seeing Angelina Jolie wearing a form fitting L’Wren Scott piece with peep-toed Jimmy Choos. She is with her husband at the New York City premier of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford starring Brad Pitt himself.

A similar piece by Dolce and Gabanna is available at eluxury (psst, I actually like the dress from D & G better!) Here you have a slim fitted jersey piece with spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline. The bodice also contains an interior elasticized flap for that gorgeous figure hugging fit.
I have to apologize, I could not find these EXACT Jimmy Choos but I did stop in at my pal Ralph Lauren and saw a very similar pair. Your luck, these are ON SALE. (yes, yes, I’m gasping again). These are called the Amber Linen Heel and the shoes are actually made with woven linen and patent leather accents. We are talking a markdown of final sale price of $180 from $500. You can’t NOT get these! *sigh* Well, I can’t. Only up to size 9. DAMN.
