Fashion Muse- Emily Weiss

mily Weiss is the Fashion Assistant at Vogue and Editor at Into the Gloss. If you guys haven't checked Into the Gloss yet, you must. It's the beauty version of The Coveteur. My favourite section is The Topshelf where you get a sneak peek on what beauty products the industry experts are using. I know when I used to go to people's houses I would always open the medicine cabinets in the bathroom to see what people were using. I know that's totally not cool, but don't you guys ever do that too?
Anyways, Emily Weiss, is a total fashionista and just gorgeous. The cool thing about her is that some of her finds are vintage so they aren't all trendy trendy. She really takes the time to curate the things that she wears.

Fashion Muse- Miroslava Duma

esides being cute as a button, Miroslava Duma has a killer sense of style. So who is she? She used to be the Social Events Editor at Harper's Bazaar Russia as well as contributing editor to various other Russian publications- L'Officiel, Glamour, and Tatler to name a few. She had a baby in October 2010, but I remember seeing her while she was pregnant and thinking, "Wow, I wish I can look that good when I'm pregnant…"

Fashion Muse- Kingston Rossdale

m I crazy that I think a 5-year old is a fashion muse? Crazy or not, I just think he is the coolest kid on the block. I just love his quirky sense of style. I typically don't like when parents try too hard to be hipster parents by dressing their kids in the trendiest outfit and styling their kids' hair into faux hawks. But I really think Kingston just has an easiness to his style that you can't fake.

Fashion Muse- Elisa Sednaoui

ashion model, Elisa Sednaoui, is pure perfection. I love her casual/chic style and I adore how, even with her model figure, she wears relaxed pieces.
I wish I can raid her closet.

I love braids!

rowing my hair is literally taking me forever, but I'm insistent on growing it out to try out all these cool braids that I've been seeing on celebrities. I made a mistake of getting my hair layered long time ago so it's impossible for me to do any kind of braid. Right now my hair is almost down to the middle of my back, but because of the layers I still can't do any braids. Sigh.

Anyways, I thought I would share with you a few of my favourite braids.

Leona Lewis

Fish tail braid + Lauren Conrad side braid = ♥

I actually tried to recreate this style for my younger sister's wedding last spring, but again, my hair was not long enough. It didn't turn out quite right.

Amanda Seyfried

I like how loose and wavy this braid is. Almost like a mermaid...

And the queen of all braids... Diane Kruger

I love how she finished off her braid in this simple look. It probably is difficult to create though...

This one is not a full-on braid, but I love how bohemian it looks. She's so gorgeous here...

This one is a braid bun.

I love her fish tail braids here.

Love it here too! More loose and messy though.

This one is a modern take on the milk maid braid. She used bobby pins I think. So chic!

Fashion Muse- Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth running errands in NYC

decided to start a series called Fashion Muse where I focus on people with style that I admire. I've been saving photos of people with style in my computer for a while now, but I decided it would be great to share some of those with you.

One of my favourite style icons is Gwyneth Paltrow. She's one of those people that I wish I can swap life with. I would love to live her life and even have a taste of what's in her wardrobe. I even love how she decorated her home in the Hamptons. I subscribe to her newssletter, GOOP, and although people have criticized it I just LOVE it. I'm also addicted to the show on PBS Spain... On the Road Again where she travels to Spain with Chef Mario Batali, New York Times Food Writer Mark Bittman, and Spanish Actress Claudio Bassols. Did you know Gwyneth speaks fluent Spanish? What can she not do???
