Style Obsession: Olivia Pope

Summer beach days can be a little tough to predict on the east coast. Hence why it's so important to have your latest addictive show ready to hit play on Netflix. For me, it's been Scandal. After missing out on all the Twitter viewing parties, I finally decided to check out all that hype on ABC's hottest show. After two weeks of rainy days centered around marathoning, my gut was telling me I was obsessed. It's hard not to fall in love with Olivia Pope. Her sassiness, hot affairs, and impeccable style make politics actually seem like a good time. And while many of us can't get our wish to be Olivia Pope, we can at least take a few notes and copy her style (seriously, is gladiator in a suit synonym for fashionista?!). Some of Liv's most stylish moments:

Summer Trend: High Low Dresses

The summertime is all about trading that black wardrobe in for a colorful, boho chic one. The current stylish high low dress is the best way to perfect that look! With this figure slimming style, summer 2013 just got a little trendier.

Possibly, my favorite high low dress to wear! I'm a sucker for the strapless types with corset shapes and this one totally fits that type. The front zipper, stripes, and blue coloring just adds to its fabulousness!

With a similar shape, this high low dress is perfect for going casual or dressing up. The bright coral top mixed in with the blue bottom allows it to work beautifully on a summer beach day. However, with the simple addition of a white blazer and pump/wedges, this high low transforms into appropriate nightwear.

For a comfortable and dressed down high low, this is the go to dress. Pick your color and you've got your flowly summer dress ready to wear!

Fashion Roundup: Cannes 2013

Oh Cannes! The film festival where it's the best of everything: movies, yachts, and more importantly iconic red carpet moments.

Marion Cotillard looked fresh and gorgeous in this Vivenne Westwood dress at Cannes. The festival is usually noted for its more glamorous looks but with Marion's minimal makeup and peach stripes, she looked effortlessly perfect!

Freida Pinto sparkled her way up the Cannes red staircase. With this jeweled top and high waist shape, Pinto channeled her inner flapper and completely accomplished the 20s' trend.

Great Gatsby star Isla Fisher brought her A game in ruffles with this Oscar de la Renta dress. The bright color with the tribal styled Bulgari jewels was a timeless look for the festival's summery vibe.

From Harry Potter to The Bling Ring, Emma Watson made a fashion transition with her film and fashion roles. Typically one for dramatic apparel, Emma approached Cannes with a more toned down look. First, Watson went classic with a black and white Chanel dress. Nothing says Cannes debut like a little sequin and semi backless dress! For her first photo call, Emma wore a Christopher Kane two piece. The deep red and frills were a little dark for the season, but Emma's posh style helped pull it off!

Punk This

Punk: Chaos to Couture

Punk fashion is typically defined by grunge, black clothing, chains, safety pins, etc. Despite the theme's variety, nobody really seemed up for going with the Met Gala theme this year. Prada and McQueen exhibits might be way easier, and if we're being honest, prettier to dress up for, but the lack of actual punk on the Met steps was kind of a hot mess. So kudos to the ladies who at least attempted to do it right!

Anne Hathaway

For someone who is consistently ridiculed for a calculated and uptight image, Anne Hathaway definitely shredded her stereotype with this new look. The goth glam presence was complete thanks to Anne's sheer, feathers, and debut of bleached hair. On a night celebrating rebellious fashion, Anne's Valentino was show stopping. 

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele's look was probably the most subtle display of punk, but it was still one of the hottest appearances. The dynamic chains on her Anthony Vaccarello dress combined with those sharp heels added to the supermodel's feisty attitude. 

Sienna Miller

Leave it to a hipster/boho queen to truly follow the theme of the night. While most attendees preferred to wear evening gowns with punk makeup, Sienna went in the opposite, and right, direction. Classy Burberry dress mixed with spike and studs equals Best Punk Dressed. See ladies, it doesn't have to be so extreme! (ahem, Cyrus).
