OOTD & (Celebrity) Looks I'm Loving Now

I wore this dress on Tuesday, so technically it's not an outfit of the day (more like, outfit from the other day) but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Dress- Zara
Belt- Tory Burch (got it at the outlet & I'm wearing it backwards)
Tights- HUE
Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Cardigan- Express
Watch- Michael Kors
Bracelets- Banana Republic & Swarovski

I felt like I was really branching out with color over the summer, but it seems winter has led me back into the darkness (clothing wise, that is).  I can't wait until the spring colors and styles come in and I can infuse a little color back into my wardrobe (and um, my skin.) I'm seriously considering dousing my body in self-tanner tonight to get a little bit of a glow going on.


Speaking of glowing, isn't Natalie Portman just positively glowing in this Miss Dior Cherie ad?  Sigh. She is just lovely.

Other celebs who've got me feeling inspired?

Audrina Patridge---loving how she added the skinny belt to her jeans
and tucked-in her loose top

Jennifer Aniston in lovely winter-wear---she really knows how to be chic
even when she's dressed more casually

I think it goes without saying that Kate Beckinsale is flawless.
Yes. She cannot possibly be human.

 I know this next one isn't a popular choice, but cheating aside, I must say I was taken aback at how fit LeAnn Rimes is looking lately.  Of course, it's clear she's recently had a breast augmentation (which I think looks great, by the way- perfect size for her body) but I think overall she is just looking very fit and toned.

 Is it even possible for Reese Witherspoon to not look cute? I've never seen her look not cute, ever.  Even when she's in workout gear, she seems to be super-humanly adorable.

It may just be criminal NOT to include Kate Middleton in this post. 
She's effortlessly stylish. Love.

Is it me, or is Ashley Greene always hitting the gym?  I always see photos of her leaving the gym, which means she must be working hard each week.  Fitness inspiration at its best!


Pint-size Rachel Bilson always knows how to pull off a bold trend
without looking like the dress is wearing her.


Laura Bell Bundy (of Broadway's Legally Blonde) looks just stunning here. 
I've always loved her.

How cute (and fit!) is Maria Menunos?  She's curvy, yet toned. A great balance.

Gwyneth Paltrow looks so glowing here, I couldn't resist including her.

Last, but certainly not least, the gorgeous Sophia Bush. I swear she doesn't age.  Her makeup is flawless too---she's got that perfect "lit from within" look.
