Unrivalled Fashion Styles - Rachel McAdams

2012-02-11T21:41:00.000+13:00

This post is a tribute to Rachel McAdams who gives yet another commendable performance in the latest The Vow alongside Channing Tatum. She looks absolutely stunning in the movie, charming us ever more with her sunshine smile. =)

Never fail to look good in everything she wears, Rachel is simply perfect! I personally think her styles is a must to copy!

Rachel's make up is always sharp, bright and colorful. She emphasises her eyes and lips a lot to brighten up her face.

Flowy dresses, plain but gorgeous.

Loving Rachel's bangs and blonde hair in The Vow!

Violet pumps anyone? Looks perfect with her dark blue overall.

White short sleeve, knee-length skirt, great for a sunny day!

Rachel doesn't like accessoring much, keeping it simple and glam with her make up, hair and dress which speak for her styles

One of Rachel's more casual look, grey dress with black leggings and heels

OOh don't you just love her army green dress with sexy black string heels? So easy to copy this look

Elongating her legs with sexy black jumpsuit

Love this fitting long-sleeve mermaid silver dress

Pairing knee-high skirt with jacket

Again, but in white jacket with multi-shade blue dress and matching heels this time

Love this bubble white skirt to bits!

Love this dress which gives a classy and edgy look with the delicately-cut lace

Blue shirt and skinny jeans - effortless

Blazer and shirt with pin up hair and sunglasses - celebrity must-have look

Love her wedges, looks super comfy and stylish

Gold long pants and tube top. Rachel carries it so well!

Looking every inch a star in this dress

Omg! Where can I get the heels!!

One of Rachel's most daring look on the red carpet, transparent lacy red dress.

Coolest Sunnies

2012-02-03T22:26:00.000+13:00

What is the coolest pair of sunglasses a girl could ever have? It's gotta be Louis Vuitton! I've searched high and low for a nice pair that fits PERFECTLY and no other sunnies out there feel as right as LV...regardless what face shape and features, you could have edginess too, INSTANTLY!

Angelina Jolie, true advocate of LV

My personal preference, aviator sunnies, just cos it's young and hip!

Happy You, Beautiful You

Following my last posting on Jessica Alba as the best dressed in Golden Globe, I wouldn't wanna miss following her fashion now that she seems to be in the best shape physically and mentally.

Golden Globe 2012 - Best Dressed

2012-01-16T20:33:00.001+13:00

Jessica Alba-she looks vivacious! Mermaid dress, a little predictable, but oh well

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace! She looks sensational, I love how she breaks out of her normal dark colored clothings to sheer white and loud red combination!

Emma Watson in Lanvin. Love her belt

Nicole Kidman, always looks right in red carpet. Pictured above in Versace.

Newly engaged Jessica Biel in lacy white Elie Saab Couture

How's everyone's new year been so far?

I've been looking at some picture collection of my favourite dresses in 2011 and I gotta say 2 of my favourite one go to Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson.

Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive

Kate Hudson in Stella McCartney

Love, Forever

2011-12-30T21:22:00.000+13:00

Before I close off for this year, I would like to wish all my dear readers a beautiful New Year ahead! Thank you all for support, I'm just so thrilled when the number of people searching "your beauty sanctuary blog" is climbing everyday!

I'll leave you with one picture below. Reason! I would love to look every inch like the glowing Miranda below!

Red lips is in this season! Grab yours for NYE party!

Effortless

2011-12-30T21:09:00.001+13:00

She may not have the best fashion styles on red carpet but still looks the part. She is never elaborated, always simple. That's our very own Kristen Stewart, who always leave us wondering how she does it so effortlessly good every single time when it would have taken us forever to look half as good!

It's pointless to emulate her casual styles as she almost never dress up at all! Hoodies, loose shirts, jeans and sneakers or boots, she swears by comfort and defies all fashion nonsense (to her).

Some of her best dressed moments:

We can't copy her casual styles, at least those above can do!

Side Swept Hair

2011-12-27T14:28:00.000+13:00

When you have no idea what to do with your hair, just takes sides. It looks sexy, natural and effortless. What I do is sweep my hair over to the other side of my normal parting for added volume. If you like it extra edgy, curl your lower end of hair, starting from under your chin like Kate Tsui above.

One of Kim's favourite hairstyles, side swept. Of course, it's so easy to do!

And Blake Lively's as well. Don't even bother to put mousse or whatever.

To make it extra feminine, Blake pinned it up at the side.

Jessica Alba's side swept style, steal it steal it!

Who says side swept is only for street styles? You could even go with it to the red carpet! Especially hot with a one shoulder! Yay or nay!

Fresh and Natural

2011-12-22T21:05:00.000+13:00

Mandy Moore has one of the freshest faces in the industry who keeps young all these years. Her dressing is chic, young, sweet and somewhat cute :P

Mandy Moore is experimental with colours and she carries it with vibrancy with her fresh and natural make up. I love the neck accessories that spice up her dress even more.

Mandy's one of most breathtaking looks in red carpet. The nude dress complements her like no other and she just looks like a real life mermaid

Closer look! Look at her diamond studded earring! *gasp*

Mandy's princess look in ballerina bun and pearl necklace. Too cute!

Victoria Secret Angels

2011-12-21T22:47:00.000+13:00

Victoria Secret Bombshells! Most outstanding vote goes out to Adriana Lima, anytime! Hair, skin and make up. Always flawless!

Sweetest of the lot? Adriana? Miranda?

I still can't decide between them 2!

Anyway, here's a look I would love to replicate. Adriana's summer maxi dress with strappy sandals and hair pulled back in neat bun!

Hottest shoes this spring/summer 2011

2011-12-20T23:06:00.000+13:00

This part of the world I'm in, the hottest shoes this season seem to be flatform! Comfort and style, you go girl!

Flatform seems to be the new wedges!

One of the most trendy celebrities, Jessica Alba can be spotted wearing anything latest in fashion. Only thing is that I thought wearing flatforms with long pants was a bit boring. I would go for shorts anytime, especially it prada!

My current obsession

2011-12-17T21:05:00.000+13:00

Burberry Prorsum leather jacket and studded skirt. Right: I love that Kate Bosworth's studded skirt added an entirely different dimension to her look. The jacket goes well with pants and boots too!

Burberry Prorsum Landscape Haymarket Luggage Bag

Burberry trench coat!! They're the best!

Copy Kate

2011-12-17T00:14:00.000+13:00

Princess Kate's casual look. I love that her green shrug becomes an instant accessories to her plain wear.

When it comes to Kate Middleton's fashion styles, it all comes down to a few basic things:
1) Fitting IS key. You have absolutely no reason to hide your body especially if you've got a great one.
2) Colour co-ordination. Never wear something so color complex that it makes you look like a christmas tree. Get the idea?
3) Simple, simply elegant.
4) Accessories, adding characters while complementing your dressing.
5) Last but not least, wear your smile! No beautiful woman is without a smile!

Dress with jacket, one of Kate's most seen fashion combination.

Skinny cut jeans and ballerina pumps. Always work.

Kate's casual but formal look. Skinny cut pants and jacket with tuck-in shirt and not forgetting a classy belt. Goes well with wedges too.

Warm wear does not have to be boring. Just pair it with a pretty belt!

Brown suit with matching black leggings, gloves and shawl. Love the color combination.

One of Kate's favourite colors, red!

Formal and sophisticated! Loving the bag!

Red and black, classy!

Thigh High Slit Dress

2011-12-03T19:04:00.000+13:00

High slit dress a curse for the shorty? Believe it NOT! All you need is an extra feminine high heels to go with it!

Megan Fox in gorgeous pale pink high slit Giorgio Armani dress

Selena Gomez in satin Gorgio Armani thigh high split dress

One thing though, you gotta have good posture with thigh high slit dress and not end up looking like JLo below:

Jennifer Lopez in her Versace high slit dress

Here's an idea of how you could stand and look like a darling:

Miranda Kerr sweet thigh high slit dress, next to her $2 odd million diamond bra.

Boyfriend shirt

2011-11-07T17:46:00.000+13:00

Wanna look cool on a lazy day? Throw on a boyfriend shirt and look effortless hot!

Ashley Olsen's white boyfriend shirt. A white boyfriend shirt is so easy to pair with, blue jeans, red jeans or black jeans. Roll it up below your elbow and button it just below your chest to reveal your tube/bra for extra layering.

Blake Lively in stripe light blue boyfriend shirt, straight-cut white mini skirt and long accessories necklace. How else to look hotter in a boyfriend shirt than Blake Lively?!

The Doll look - Amanda Seyfried

2011-11-03T10:45:00.002+13:00

Amanda Seyfried, the uber hot In Time lead-actress, has been rocking the screen lately. I can't help but dedicate this post on her fashion styles. Her taste in clothings can be described as casual and comfortable, never for the sake of keeping with the latest trends but what fits and looks good as well as comfortable. Of couse, if you can't feel good, you can't look good either.

Her make-up, in sync with her dressing, is casual, light, and just right for her already sharp features.

Loose short pretty red dress with bow belt, with a fitting blazer and gorgeous heels

I love this dress, combining sexy in lace and elegance. Amanda Seyfried carries it well.

In perfect ballerina bun and blazer (once again)

Short pencil skirt and a simple white tank top, you could look effortless like Amanda

Best Halloween Looks 2011

2011-11-02T14:51:00.002+13:00

Kim Kardashian Poison Ivy Look

Kudos has to go to Heidi Klum for the most original halloween costume idea year after year

My favourite Halloween looks of all, Miranda Kerrr in sexy ringmaster costume!

Have you got your favourite jumpsuits?

2011-11-02T14:34:00.002+13:00

Kim Kardashian pairing her black jumpsuits with gladiator heels

Tyra Banks in tight fitting tube jumpsuit, my favourite

The one-piece garment works incredibly well to transform your look into edgy. You don't need lots of accessories to pull off the look, just maybe a sexy heels and let your overall speaks for itself!

Timeless Beauty - Grace Kelly

2011-10-28T11:30:00.002+13:00

Can't help but notice the resemblance

The Princess Monaco has inspired many to this day, with her natural flair for fashion. Simply because simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, as quoted from Leonardo Da Vinci. Her signature white gloves, her love for hats, the neat twinsets, full skirts and pearls have left a legacy that led many to follow, even our very own Princess of Wales. Pictured above is Kate Middleton's Alexandar Mcqueen's wedding dress, a look-alike of then Grace Kelly's iconic dress.

Not to forget her hairstyles, which is usually pulled back to draw attention to her flawless features and make-up. The classic hair style has been copied by many A-list celebrities during red carpet events, such as Kate Winslet and Sacrlett Johansson. As pictured below:

Kate Winslet wearing Grace Kelly's classic hair to Oscar

Scarlett Johansson in modern-day Grace Kelly look

Red lacy dress, which bears a tinge of resemblance to Kate's look below

One and only Grace Kelly, our fashion icon and inspiration.

Bandage Bodycon Dress

2011-10-27T19:42:00.002+13:00

Bandage Bodycon dresses have been around for sometime, made popular by famous celebrities spotted in Herve Leger. I personally think they are a must-have for every girl, on days we feel lighter on the waistline and looking to feel good about our bodies on a sexy night out. Bodycon dresses can be so unique, in that everyone wears it differently, allowing our bodies shape to determine the shape of the dresses. Below are different dress styles for you to emulate:

Kelly Brook in her multi-toned off-shoulder grey bandage dress, playing down on the accessories and allowing her dress to do the talking.

Megan fox looking incredibly sexy with this black deep v-cut bandage dress, pairing with matching simple black heels, red lips while pulling her big wavy long locks to one side to complete the look.

While everyone is playing it safe with dull colors when it comes to bandage dresses, Miranda Kerr is not afraid to show off her perfect body (obviously) in this red cap sleeve bodycon dress, with simple gold bracelet as accessories.

A mega fan of bandage dresses, none other than Kim Kardashian, dressing smartly with her thick black belt to emphasise her curves further. Surely, she looks amazing in this one-shoulder dress.

Blake Lively in eye-catching herve leger, showing off her busty front and long legs.

Kim Kardashian did it again, looking sensational in long-sleeve low round-neck grey bodycon dress, with animal print pumps to add to her glamourous look.
