I think we've all loved Emily Blunt ever since her role as Miranda's nasty assistant Emily in The Devil Wears Prada. I know I have. In that movie, Blunt got to wear one gorgeous outfit after another, showing off her slender frame and natural beauty. Real life is no different.

Downton Abbey's third season finally premiered Sunday night stateside, and I for one was thrilled to watch. Everyone has been swept up in Downton fever lately, including designer Ralph Lauren.

Oh Emma Stone! This picture made my morning, seriously. I am never worried that you won't be dressed impeccably and you and Lanvin seem to be a match made in heaven. Last night's Ganster Squad premiere was no exception.

The New York Times wrote a feature on all the Maine ski slopes this weekend. It's officially ski season! And if you are in need of something new to wear as you fly down the slopes, Gilt has you covered. Last night they kicked off an Alpine Chic sale filled with parkas, ski pants and more. I have to admit, I am not a skiier, but that doesn't mean I don't think you shouldn't look great as you hit the slopes. I'll just be in the in the ski lodge by the warm fire with a good book and a glass of wine.

I have to admit, I never thought I would be choosing a photo of Pamela Anderson as my fashion photo of the day. Not that she isn't beautiful, but, I personally don't find her style to be my taste generally. I was wrong.

Kerry Washington turned heads at the Django Unchained photo call in Rome, Italy this week. Wearing a mixed-print Peter Pilotto dress she definitely stood out. Her whole demonstrating she is a star and a fashion force to be reckoned with.

I have a love/hate relationship with UV gel manicures. I love that they don't chip for close to two weeks, but I hate taking them off. I love leaving the salon with completely dry nails but I hate spending more money on the gel manicure itself. The solution? At home UV gel manicure system! Gilt has a great sale on the NailLuv system with LED and color options.

Dame Helen Mirren looked smashing in purple as she accepted her star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's been reported how thrilled she was to see her star right next to fellow British actor Colin Firth. Those Brits have to stick together!

I remember my parents buying me first Kate Spade purse back when a Kate Spade bag meant boxey and black with very clean lines and very limited options in terms of shapes and colors. There was black, deep brown, navy, and gray. But they were the 'it' bag to have. And at my young age of 15 I knew I had to have one.

Miranda Kerr looked super stylish doing her grocery shopping at the Whole Foods in West Hollywood this week. I mean, I always get dressed to go the market, don't you? Kerr masterfully mixed colors and prints and designers all for the frozen section.

I love me some Taylor Swift and I am not embarassed to say it. I think she's beautiful, always dresses impeccably and I love her catchy tunes. Swift helped ring in the new year by performing in Times Square to thousands huddled together in the cold, and millions watching on TV.
