Style Crush: Emma Stone

Hot off freaking about Stone's latest silver-screen persona, I have turned to the woman behind Gwen Stacy and her exquisite red carpet style. The Amazing Spiderman tour has been long (they've been promoting this thing since April, it feels like!) but that has given dear Emma plenty of opportunities to knock our Wolford socks off with her red carpet choices! From sweet Chanel frocks to vampy Gucci goddess gowns, Emma Stone has proven that she is as sartorially inspirational as she is personality-wise. Honestly, the girl has got it all! Who knows, maybe she may win the title of It Girl for the second year in a row!

The Girls of 2011: No. 1!

Now that we have ventured into 2012, we take one last look back on the year before us.

There were many fabulous and fashionable young starlets this year who took the world by storm with both their talents and their style...

but only one can be THE it girl of the year.

Who is it?

It's...

it's...

Emma Stone!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Emma Stone beat out even a princess for the title of the It Girl of 2011. It has certainly been Miss Stone's year, after all. She started off strong with a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Easy A, then went on to star in two big summer movies, The Help and Crazy, Stupid Love -with Ryan Gosling, the lucky girl! Next on the girl's plate? Starring as the love interest in the new Spiderman reboot alongside real-life beau Andrew Garfield, and then again alongside Ryan Gosling in The Gangster Squad. Emma certainly has impressed movie audiences, but it's her sleek fashion sense that grabs my attention.  She rocks a natural face and red-hot tresses and lets her clothes do most of the talking. She favors Giambattista Valli and Chanel, but whatever the girl wears is golden. Emma is not afraid to take a fashion risk, but she also knows what works for her, and that is why she has become one of my biggest style icons. 

Congratulations, Emma, you've really earned it!

Heading South

Last night my mommy and I saw The Help and I was most pleasantly surprised. It was an extremely entertaining movie with plenty of moments of laughter and sadness as the tale of two black maids from Jackson, Mississippi, unfolds. Emma Stone was good, but even more phenomenal was the exceptionally wicked Hilly, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, and Minny (Octavia Spencer), one of the hilariously sassy maids that confesses her stories to Stone's Skeeter. It was just a very well-done movie that I hope earns many awards because, for me, at least, it had it all.

Of course, a movie about the South in the sixties can only be so good without tremendous costumes and scenery. I feel this is where The Help pleased me the most, as the costumes were all outstanding. It has made me even more anxious to finish the sixties-inspired shirtdress I'm working on, and I feel confident with my recent purchase of pink-with-white-polka-dots cat-eye sunglasses now (even though my friend says I look "ridiculous").
