I recently rewatched Sherlock Holmes and is inspired to make this post. In the movie, Irene Adler is played by Rachel McAdams (who was also in Mean Girls). I absolutely loved her gorgeous Victorian style here. There were a few variations of style that she wore throughout the movie. Today I will focus only on one. (I may or may not do a style study on her other outfits. If you want to see more, please comment and let me know!)

I believe the first time when you see Irene dressed in a men-styled outfit, it was when she was about to be cooked alive. Lol! I really like seeing the feminine version of a male's outfit. I have composed a few items for this inspired look!

Christian Dior Spring 2011 Couture

About a week and a half ago, I saw the cover page of Toronto's free newspaper, Metro. On the front was a picture of a gorgeous dress on a model:

This is the Christian Dior Spring 2011 Couture Collection. After seeing this picture, I had to go check up on the collection. Here are a few of my favourites:







Honestly wish I could go around wearing these dresses, like in black and white Hollywood. That would be lovely.

Gowns and Other Sorts

I really love the gown in this picture. And to find an actual purpose to use this photograph I decided to do a quick little blog post about gowns. 

Gown: a woman's dress, usually with a close-fitted bodice and a long flared skirt, often worn on formal occasions. 

Since prom is coming up (for me anyways), a gown would be the perfect kind of dress for anyone who wants to feel like a princess. It seems like a lot of girls fall more into the casual, short, cutesy kind of style but I find that being more feminine is what would catch people's eyes the most. 

There's something elegant about wearing something long and flattering your figure. It shows your confidence with your body and your confidence being the centre of attention. 

You also would stand out a lot more and would be bound to get compliments all night long. 

Golden Globes 2011~ Favourite Dresses

Emma Watson

One of my favourite celebs in terms of fashion would be Emma Watson. She always wears amazing outfits, with the right kind of hair style, shoes, etc. Even going through her teenage years, I found that she always dressed older than her age and didn't go into any kind of clothing mishaps like Miley Cyrus and the rest of the famous teens nowadays. Emma Watson has definitely acquired a very lovely style.
I was always a fan of Harry Potter but if you look at her in the first movie and then look at her now, there's quite a difference. Emma Watson is 20 years old now, but seriously, she doesn't look like she's out of her teen years. I'm pretty envious :).
She's definitely an actress with style. Lastly before I end off, here's a picture of the whole Harry Potter gang since I really adore the clothes that they're wearing. :)
