Style Star for June: Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough is no stranger to the big screen with lead roles in Footloose and Safe Haven, not to mention a two time Dancing with the Stars champ. This leading lady is a genuine class act and we can't get enough of what she's putting down. With her adorable signature bob, killer body, and edgy style, Julianne makes us green with style envy.

In Monique Lhuillier at The Lone Ranger premiere
I can't help but root for fashion risk-takers and at the moment, Julianne leads the pack in my book.  J Hough worked it at The Lone Ranger premiere in a daring look that combined not only pants and a peplum, but also a graphic print.  Most women would shudder at the thought — what will my friends think?  Will my man like it?  But Julianne confidently faced the photogs and totally rocked it out.  I'm also slightly obsessed with her perfectly rumpled bedhead hair here.

In Mara and Mine loafers at LAX 
Julianne Hough may be a red carpet regular, but her street style is quickly gaining momentum on the pages of fashion sites everywhere. This blonde bombshell was recently spotted at LAX rocking an all black getup with Mara and Mine skeleton loafers. She added Rayban Wayfarers and a bowler hat for an edgy look.

In Emporio Armani at the Premiere of 'Magic City'
Julianne Hough rocks the premiere of 'Magic City' in a champagne shorts trouser suit and metallic heels by Emporio Armani. Ditching a conventional dress for a bold suit and cut-out shoes, Hough manages to tame this daring look with simple jewels by Cresta Blesdoe. I love that she was able to bring a fearless, but sweet look to this event.

Wearing Topshop in Los Angeles
Julianne Hough makes running errands seem a little more fun in a classic chambray shirt, bright double slit skirt, and the ever so coveted, celeb favorite, Celine black leather tote bag. She can wear pretty much anything with that athletic and fit body of hers, always modestly showing off her stems. Julianne knows exactly what to wear when bracing the summer LA heat, keeping cool with a double slit skirt, a trend that's sure to last well into the winter season.

LSPR Staff Style Tips: June

Summer has finally made its arrival to the streets of Los Angeles and we're ready to break out the swimsuits, tank tops and flip flops. Shorter nights and longer days are the perfect time to debut fresh trends for everyone to see. Find out what we will be rocking during the hot summer months.

What's The Skinny?? -- Jessica Alba in 7 For All Mankind
I've always been a fan of cuffing my denim.  Is there a better way to show off a killer pair of heels?  Recently a term emerged from the fashion lexicon — skinny boyfriend jeans — and suddenly, my urge to cuff my skinny jeans had purpose.  I'm 100% on board with the latest denim craze, shown here by Jessica Alba in 7 For All Mankind's "Josefina" skinny boyfriend jean.  I recently picked up a pair of these jeans myself and I don't want to take them off.  I can take them from a casual weekend to a mid-week meeting with just a swap of shoe.  SOLD!

Flower Power -- Katy Perry 
Remember your childhood days when you wouldn't leave the house in anything but a fairy princess costume? Take a trip down memory lane with flower crowns this season. They will have you feeling like a whimsical fairy, even if you're not five anymore. This month I'm bringing out my inner flower child like Katy Perry did at the the Pre-MET screening of The Great Gatsby with a lavender, daisy flower crown.
-- Michelle, LSPR Showroom Manager

Flowy Florals -- Korlina Kurkova
A floral blouse is the perfect top to bloom into summer with. It's breathable and lightweight enough to wear out on the town or just down the street to the closest Coffee Bean. Plus, a little flowers never hurt anybody. Follow the floral trend this summer just like Karolina Kurkova.

 Cuff Em' 
Ear cuffs have recently become a hot accessory this season. A bolder take on the traditional earring, the ear cuff adds a touch of edgy sophistication to any outfit, without the damage of a cartilage piercing. There are countless styles of ear cuffs, so whether you're tough or girly, you can accessorize any outfit by simply throwing one on!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall
A trend that has seamlessly transitioned from spring to summer, mirrored sunglasses add the extra kick to a day time outfit. Celebrities like Blake Lively and Jessica Alba have recently been spotted sporting fun mirrored wayfarers and aviator shades. This fresh, colorful trend is sure to make heads turn, I can't wait to snag a pair of my own!

Style Star for May: Jennifer Lawrence

Our favorite part of the Oscars this past year?  Not Seth MacFarlaine’s epic “We saw your boobs” song-and-dance number or the well-deserved Christoph Waltz win.  It was Jennifer Lawrence’s decision to take advantage of E! News’ typically cringe-inducing mani-cam moment with her off-the-wall taunt “Your ass is mine, Stone.”  Her antics didn’t stop there.  We still laugh watching her photo-bomb SJP at the Met Gala (check out Marion Cotillard’s reaction in the background!).  This month’s style star is a total goofball, but also turns up the sartorial heat – and we can’t get enough!   

 

 On a Sunny Brunch Date in Los Angeles

I love that Jennifer Lawrence has been experimenting with her style lately, both on and off the red carpet!  Jennifer has recently proven that she is a street style queen. On a casual outing in LA, she combined all of the seasons hottest trends in a sheer maxi skirt, oversized sunnies, pointy flats, and layered pendants, and she then completed the whole outfit with her enviable Dolce & Gabbana straw bag to create an effortless yet chic look. She also jazzes up a plain tee by knotting it at her waist, which is definitely a look I'll be incorporating into my summer style!

In Dior at the Cannes Party for Catching Fire 

When the style star isn’t busy fighting in the games for District 12, she can be seen on the red carpet wearing unique looks like this one. Lawrence attended the Cannes Film Festival sporting a simple Dior dress accompanied by those stylish three P’s -- pink pointed pumps. She’s always keeping everyone on their toes.  Does this gal ever fail to impress?

 In Burberry Arriving at Heathrow Airport
Jennifer Lawrence embraces the brisk London weather with a two toned double-breasted Burberry coat with black leather sleeves. One bold coat can really complete an outfit. The purple floppy hat adds a bold splash of color and contributes to the casual, cool look that we always see Jennifer Lawrence sporting. She makes traveling appear fun and fashionable while staying comfortable and relaxed.

In Dior at the Cannes Photocall for Catching Fire

I love that J Law looks so happy in this photo – and I have a few guesses as to why.  Number One: she is sandwiched between Sam Claflin (swoon!) and Liam Hemsworth (double swoon!).  Number Two: she looks adorable AND comfortable in her corset top and pants from Dior.  I have a few formal functions this summer and it is my dream to find something like this that I can dance the night away in.

In Calvin Klein at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party  

The fashion gods have undoubtedly bestowed the gift of style upon miss Lawrence…or maybe she just has an amazing stylist! Whichever, she is my fashion knight-in-shining-armor in this metallic Calvin Klein number at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. I'd say the odds were definitely in her favor that night.

Fasten your seat belt because this month’s style tips will either take you back to the past or transport you to the future. From childhood bows to hologram bags, we have this season’s best fashion trends and they are taking over the year 2013.  

A is for Aztec – Katrina Bowden in LOFT

As the weather warms, I love the look of bold global prints like these Aztec-print shorts worn by Katrina Bowden at the celebration for the LOFT Pop-Up on Robertson.  How do you know if your favorite piece is Aztec?  Look for zigzags in various patterns, according to this story from FashionNiche.  For those of you with lots of prints in your closet, but no idea whether they are Ikat, Batik or Shibori, check out this great piece from Refinery29 to help you brush up on your fashion vocab.  (Katrina photo by Amy Graves/WireImage)

Back It Up – Jennifer Lawrence in Chopard

A reverse necklace is the easiest trend of the season to incorporate into your wardrobe. Simply turning around a necklace you already own creates a fresh look that works all year round. Jennifer Lawrence embraced back jewelry at this year's Oscars with a long Chopard necklace. You'll definitely catch me this season sporting a reverse necklace with my maxi dress.

Go Bold with Bows – Kerry Washington and Zooey Deschanel

Remember how much fun it was wearing giant bows when you were a little girl?  Well, thanks to designers like Louis Vuitton and Christopher Kane, you can relive your bow-obsessed childhood days while looking like you stepped right off the runway. That's right, bows are back! Whether styled in your hair, like Kerry Washington or cinched around your waist like Zoey Deschannel, bows add a touch of femininity to any ensemble.

Hyped on Holograms- Kate Moss

Get ready to go back to the future with this trend. From shoes, to clutches, belts, to blouses- it’s showing up everywhere. Holograms add a fun, funky feel to almost any look and really pop against dark colors.

 -- Olivia Judkins, LSPR Intern 

See-Through for Spring- Brooklyn Decker in Christian Louboutin

Clear accessories made an appearance on the Spring 2013 runways. From jewelry, to handbags, to heels, this fashion statement is so playful and can basically be paired with anything in your closet. As long as it is not overdone, see through accessories can make an outfit look both unique and elegant. In my opinion, this style trend is clearly amazing.           -- Christina Mendez, LSPR Intern
