Modest Hollywood

I feel obliged to share with all my loyal readers that I am a Twilight fan. True, I do not bow down to Justin Bieber, I have no idea what 'Emo' is, and I gave up on Hannah Montana long ago,  but alas, the teeny-bopper inside of me rages with vampire and werewolf drama as strong as any 12 year old. FYI: I was always Team Edward.

Last night was the premiere of Breaking Dawn, Part 1 in LA, and a couple of ladies got it so right-- namely my favorite resident Jewess, Mayim Bialik! Kudos to Mayim on managing to capture the whimsy and mystery of the sultry story in her outfit. Dark hues, shiny accents--everything a diamond sparkling vampire could ask for.  Way to be age appropriate and on trend while still looking every bit the classy lady! I must say that it's refreshing to have a go-to star who I can always count on to get it right. Modesty is not dead! Vampires, however, are. Life lessons, my friends.

P.S. I'm borderline obsessed with that blue velvet trim! It's the shock value of the whole outfit that still manages to be subtle.

Pink and Silver

Last week both SJP and Fergie were parading around Hollywood's hottest parties in ensembles that were comprised of an unlikely pairing; apparently silver/grey and light pink are a hot trend right now, so I wanted to show you all a little pink-&-silver love. (Please also note the semi-tznius-ness to these outfits).

If you want to emulate these looks, search no further than these items I have brought to you today. Disclaimer: the dresses are not the most tzniut but a buttoned up blazer and/or a shell underneath will rectify your modesty issues. Take liberties here, ladies--I just deliver the goods.

Color Item of the Day

If there is any trend that is positively screaming right now, it's color blocking. Huge, huge, huge. Take for example this fantastic little sweater from Old Navy. It is the chicest little thing in the world and will look great with a denim skirt or a professional outfit.

I'm personally a fan of the navy/grey/yellow combo but this sweater does come in different color combos (and solids as well). Shop away my dear little Oakies!

Trendy Item of the Day

I am absolutely loving this blazer from Forever 21 and I want it now!. It looks so much more expensive than it actually is (and is probably  made better, too!).

This blazer is more casual and is softer than a full on black blazer, but the leather(ette) makes it a power piece all on its own. The waterfall lapels give it the final feminine touch--this one is a total do for any outfit both work and play.

You Know You Want This Item of the Day

I feature a lot of "pretty" things on this blog, but I am the biggest proponent of ridiculously comfortable (yet adorable) clothing. And nothing quite screams of cute and comfy like this sailor top!

Now, I know what you're thinking--nautical stripes is much more a summer thing than a fall/winter piece -- BUT... I don't care. I wear stripes year round; plus I just picture this shirt with a big, mushy soft cashmere sweater, and then all is right with the world.

Ahoy, maties! I mean, ladies!

While it's certainly not for the office, it's the perfect addition for all you daring ladies out there for a wedding/occasion outfit.

Work it!

Modest Hollywood

Does it get any better??

Some of my FAVORITE Hollywood ladies are spectacularizing (ya, I made up that word) the red carpet, or the even just the streets this week in all their modest garb. Of course there are a few regulars (Jessica Alba, Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Garner) but there are some serious up-and-comers at The OAK lately! I have a secret soft spot for Felicity Jones' outfit, and Mayim Bialik and Tiffani Thiessen (yay for 90's teen queens!) both exude rocking confidence in their sheaths! Amber Heard's last few outfits have been stellar and sexy while still being modest! 

Here is hoping this modesty "trend" never fades!

Glamorous Item of the Day

I don't anticipate any of you starring a silent movie any time soon (beacuse that's the name of today's item). I do however, see each and every one of you (whoever you may be!) donning this top! With a shirt underneath or a cardigan or blazer on top, wear this adorable top with the inner movie star inside you shining through!

(Wedding) Dress of the Year

Holy MARCHESA! 

One of my very favorite designers, Marchesa, just released their new wedding line. Being a single girl, I still have the luxury of fantasizing about my dream wedding (sucks for all you married ladies. Hey, give me something here, ok?). I know it's not normal  fodder for my blog, but I just had to share this wedding dress with you all.

Now, I'm no Monica Gellar with a wedding book containing various themed scenario weddings, but I do have a dream dress in mind and it goes a little something like this stunner. From what I'm told, the dress chooses you, so I won't say that this is the dress I would choose, but if I were like Kim Kardashian (minus the 10 million dollar televised wedding and pre-divorce) with the option of wearing three wedding dresses at my wedding, this one would most certainly be in my line-up. I can guarantee you this though, that come the day (should it ever happen) I will be trying on this dress in Kleinfelds. Amen.
