Fashion Icon: Elizabeth Taylor

No, it's not only Upper East Side princesses like Charlotte York who idolize Elizabeth Taylor. ET was a woman in her own right. Sexy, glamorous, stunningly beautiful, and with one of the most awesome hourglass figures ever. The Holidays are coming up and for sure you're going to need some party outfits to carry you through this season. How about we feel regal this year and switch it up a bit. So to salute ET I chose two of some of my favorite films of her and attempt to emulate them.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Seriously sexy, the use of white and nude colors in this film fit her just right. So if you look awesome in white/ivory/cream you should definitely try it. If you have a pale complexion and white just makes you look like you're sporting the flu rather than a dress change the color of the dress to black or red which is still very classy.

Cleopatra

One of my favorites, if not my favorite Taylor film. She was regal, the Queen to rule all Queens. She slept with the enemy, manipulated emperors, walked around naked and when her plans and country was ruined she killed herself rather than be taken as a POW. Lady had serious guts. AND she looked amazing. I wish I could have like every outfit she wore in this film. So I give you two.The outfits below share the shoes, makeup and clutch. The jewelry is different according to the dress. Go easy on the blue eye-shadow. There's a thin line between Cleopatra the Queen and Cleopatra the drag Queen.

The Serena

Who says I only enjoy Blair Waldorf's look? I saw Blake wearing this and I knew I had to copy it because I actually loved it. Using some things I had in my closet I recreated it - the one thing I did have to buy was the purse but I found a really great one in ebay for $15 so it completed my look. I searched online and found some smiliar ways of recreating it!

Sweater Dress, White House White Market $98, Shoes, Aldo $90, Purse, TopShop $50, Necklace, Asos $9, Ring, Forever21 $5.80, Bump It Hair $10, Polish 'Whisper', China Glaze $5,
Bobby Pins, Any Drugstore $4

What do we think? Something you would wear? Let me tell you that the Bump-Its work. My friend at work does it to her hair and it looks awesome! So this was my outfit today - I'm just excited that I can finally wear my blue shoes! I think I'm channeling blue lately, what do you think?

Love that Look!

I am absolutely in love with this look I created, I have lookalikes of everything here except the dress which I will be hunting for this week (since the website doesn't carry mu size) but I wanted to share it because it's so very adorable that I could wear it all week long. It's still warm here in Florida but I too the look from warm, the cooler weather and brought it down to a casual look (which I can already pull off and did on Friday with the girls).

Dress, Redflare $58, Shoes, Wanted $50, Purse, TopShop $135, Necklace, Aldo $18, Polish 'Starfish-Patrick', Rescue Beauty Lounge $18

Already a bit cooler where you're at? Just add a cardigan and some ribbed tights and you're set :)

Cardigan, Jcrew $88, Ribbed Thights, Falke Elegance $35

And to tone down for a casual look, loose the dress and pick up your favorite jeans.

Jeans, Old Navy $34.50

You see what I mean that I can wear it all week long?
