Style Inspiration from Mandy Moore?

It may be that I have never gotten over the arm bands and midriffs in Candy, but I have have been inspired by Mandy Moore's recent fashion sense.  She seems to have gone from a generic Hollywood star to a fashion week A-lister overnight. 

Mandy has especially been a hit in Lela Rose.  Check out this black and yellow look from Lela Rose's Spring 13 show accessorized with the perfectly worn in  leather jacket.

 I also loved this vanilla Lela Rose dress that Mandy wore to the CFDA awards.  Perfectly accessorized with bright pink lips and a simple ponytail.

And finally, this poppy-red Lela Rose dress that Mandy wore to her Spring 2012 show looks like it's a dress that would work in any woman's closet for work, drinks and beyond.

Back to Spring 13 fashion week, you know how I feel about suits and I think this khaki look + pink pumps was a perfectly modern interpretation.

And,  here Mandy is  in blue and black with another killer leather jacket.

What do you think? Enough evidence to forget about "Candy"?

Elle Fanning.

Wow.  Sometimes you find yourself insanely impressed by a 12-year old?  Elle Fanning has been shot for a bunch of magazines over the past couple of months and every time I see her I'm in awe! It's hard not to be inspired the poise and beauty she already has as a 12-year old! Love these shots...

 How stunning (yet still age approriate?) is she in this Chanel dress? (from Interview Magazine)

The photos of Elle and her older sister Dakota together that were shot for W Magazine are also super inspiring.

 I even love this retro hair & makeup from Teen Vogue.

And finally, one last image from Marie Claire.
