Celebrity Style Inspiration: Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz photo

I don't know about you, but I find a lot of my outfit inspirations from celebrity fashion and Pinterest.  While browsing through Pinterest one day I saw this outfit with Cameron Diaz and realized that I have a few similar pieces and I could recreate her look.  

I was a little too excited that I had shoes that matched the cardigan perfectly.  I bought them on clearance at Forever 21 over a year ago and never wore them once!  I think I forgot that I had them.

And just for your entertainment, a photo of me with a snowflake in my eye (below)

What better time to take outfit photos then in the middle of a snow storm, right?  Yeah, maybe not.  We kind of got clobbered again.  Not as bad as a lot of other places got hit but I think I'm just really over this whole winter thing. haha!

Are you as sick of Winter as I am?! 

Book Review: Refinery 29: Style Stalking

Even though I am and always have been what I like to call a self-proclaimed tom boy, I still have a bit of girly girl in me.  I didn't start really getting into fashion until after high school, and even then I still wasn't "Carrie Bradshaw material".  I am STILL learning different ways to style clothing, and that's why I was so excited to review Refinery 29: Style Stalking for Blogging for Books.

If you are someone that really loves fashion and loves learning new tips on pairing outfits, then this is a great book for you.  They cover everything from the basics, how to layer, mixing prints, and how to wear metallics.  I am completely clueless when it comes to mixing prints so that has been one chapter that I really focused on, along with the "1 Piece, 3 Ways" sections.

I will admit that some of the outfit photos featured in the book are pretty ostentatious and would make me wonder about that person's sanity; but the photography is really beautiful.

Refinery 29: Style Stalking is jam-packed with full color photography and not too long-winded in the wording department, so it makes for a very quick and easy read.  I read the whole book in one sitting!

In conclusion, I would have to say, that if you can get past some of the bizarre outfit photos to the actual fashion tips, this book is very good at igniting a creative side into your thinking when it comes to your closet.
