framed fabric

lately i'm loving the idea of framing fabric — it's a fun way to introduce color and a compromise between blank walls and a long-term investment in wallpaper. what are your thoughts?

Style Icon {Gwyneth Paltrow}

who doesn't love gwyneth paltrow? besides her impressive résumé, i find we could learn a lot from her fashion choices both on and off the red carpet. she certainly knows what works for her — she loves the color black but will occasionally introduce navy or white, she knows how to rock a daringly short minidress, and she practically patented the blunt bob we see her with today.

rocking a balenciaga lbd.

rocker chic in black balmain.

a barely there minidress by preen.

a personal favorite: paltrow steals the spotlight in racy stella mccartney.

classic yves saint laurent.

stunning in dramatic floor-length ferragamo.

lovely in (backless) lace by antonio berardi.

testing out the nude trend in elie saab haute couture.

straying (just barely!) from her favored black in navy chanel.

a day in the life: sitting front row at adolfo dominguez.

a fresh take on summery style in giambattista valli.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it: paltrow nails it in another stella mccartney number.

walking the walk in an alice + olivia coat and christian louboutin booties.

showing up to husband chris martin's coldplay concert.

a never-fails color combination for when there's nothing else you want to wear.

her statuesque frame pulls off head-to-toe white beautifully.

wedge booties put an edgy spin on a classic tweed blazer.

lighting up a tv appearance in a sparkly gold jacket.

what do you think of her style? any favorite looks?
