Alexa Chung in Burberry Prorsum

I have such a big thing for leather jackets. Especially leather jackets from Burberry Prorsum, and more specifically the jackets that were seen in their S/S 2011 collection. I wonder, is it possible not to love them? Alexa Chung is certainly not one of them, if there any at all. She has secured herself this gorgeous black quilted leather biker jacket, and I am extremely jealous.

The thing I love about leather jackets is that they are so versatile, and they work with almost anything. I especially like the way it can add to great contrasts, for example by teaming it with a sweet, romantic dress as seen in the Burberry Prorsum show.  

How do you like to wear your leather jacket?

Ps. Alexa is not the only one who has been seen in this jacket. Sienna Miller was also seen wearing it last Thursday in London. See her look HERE.

Valentino Girls

Last night, Valentino showed its A/W 2011 collection in Paris, and the front row was, as always, filled to the brim of stylish celebrities. I have had my eye on the pale yellow leather dress that Alexa Chung wore ever since I saw Valentino's Pre-Fall 2011 collection. That shade of yellow is one of my favourite colours. It is such an unusual colour for a dress, and I love the innocent sexiness it gives together with the flirty details, such as the deep neckline, the small frills on the top half and the short length of the skirt.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld showed up in this leopard printed leather trench, also from Valentino Pre-Fall 2011. I have always thought that Julia looks incredible in animal print. She oozes of femme fatale, and has the perfect confidence to pull it off. C'est magnifique!

Streetstyle Saturday

It's Saturday, and that means Streetstyle Saturday. This time, I have found a lot of great streetstyle photos of known people, such as Alexa Chung, Olivia Palermo and Abbey Lee Kershaw. After seeing all of the photos together, I see that the main thing they all share is the use of neutral colours, which I love as it allows a lot of room to play around and experiment with the outfit. The only splash of colour is Alexa's yellow scarf, and Giovanna Battaglia's hot red skirt. I LOVE that red together with the beige - such a gorgeous combination!

Valentino + Alexa

The Valentino Spring/Summer 2011 collection also showed today attracting celebrities like Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung. And I strongly believe that especially Alexa was very delighted at what she saw. From the very first photo of the collection over at style.com, I couldn't help but think that Valentino designers Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri have created their designs with exactly Alexa in mind. Each outfit that came down the runway could have easily come from her wardrobe. So here's guessing that Alexa will be seen in a lot of Valentino in the near future (and here's hoping that she will wear the long gorgeous rich red dress to some event!).

What did you think of the Valentino show?

The 10 Best Dressed of The Week


The 10 Best Dressed of The Week is a new feature here on Style Spot which will be posted every Sunday. Throughout the week, I'll be scouting for the very best outfits, and create a summary of them here. I hope you'll enjoy it!


This week, the stars have glittered in the occasion of New York Fashion Week. The Chanel Soho boutique opening attracted many beautifully dressed celebrities, with four of them ending up on this list. One gossip girl has received high fashion scores, giving her two great spots of the 10 best dressed list. Excited to see who?


10. Charlize Theron at Dior's Celebration of Fashion's Night Out

On Friday, Charlize Theron attended Dior's celebration of Fashion's Night Out looking very chic indeed. I love the use of grey and black teamed together which oozes simplicity and elegance. The cut of the black jacket is absolutely gorgeous. And I really like the element of surprise which is added by using those nude boots.


9. Alexa Chung at Alexa Chung For Madewell Launch Party

A few of you might not understand why I have put this outfit on the list, but I must admit that I have a slight weak spot for Alexa's chic granny outfits. This cream skirt is so lovely and delicate and I really like how it is worn with the long, brown cardigan and the black, patent boots.


8. Diane Krüger at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

Once again, Diane Krüger proves why she is such a style icon. It looks like this ruffle dress was made for her, and the boots seems like they were made for the dress. I love how one of the shoulders holds up the dress, while the other hangs below her shoulders. It adds such a flirty, sexy feel to the outfit.


7. Chanel Iman at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

This is one of those beautiful dresses that you dream of finding when you visit a vintage store.The shape and sequins is what makes this dress. And I adore that she wears her red Chanel bag with it because a dress like this needs a bold accessory to bring it out even more.


6. Olivia Palermo Backstage at the Ports 1961 Spring 2011 Fashion Show

Even though I am not such a huge fan of Olivia Palermo on The City, I am not going to hold that against her when it comes to the way she dresses. She does have a great talent when it comes to combining different patterns, colours and fabrics. And she always has the best accessories, especially large and stunning rings.






5. Lily Donaldson at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

This is one of those outfits that I want to copy every detail of and wear right now. I am a huge fan of contrasts in an outfit, so therefore I really like the elegant shape of Lily Donaldson's blazer teamed together with a sheer white t-shirt and torn denim shorts. And she looks so cute with her hair like that.


4. Rachel Bilson at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Spring 2011

Lately, I have been obsessed with leather shorts, so Rachel Bilson's outfit definitely hit home. Also, her blouse is gorgeous and it reminds me of an Acne blouse that I am lusting for at the moment. To be honest though, I think it is her pink lipstick that makes me really love this outfit; it adds such a beautiful freshness!

  

3. Blake Lively at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

There is a lot of talk about Blake Lively's style; some love it and others hate it. I am one of those who most of the times love it. I often prefer her style to Leighton's, and she has hands down the best wardrobe in Gossip Girl. At the opening of the new Chanel store in Soho, Blake was glowing. Stepping out of her comfort zone (showing boobs and legs) really suits her. And the top half of this Chanel dress is perfection.

  

2. Sarah Jessica Parker at Fashion's Night Out

Those of you who have been reading Style Spot for a while know how obsessed I am with sequins, so there is no surprise why Sarah Jessica Parker is listed as a number 2. I am officially in love with her jacket! It looks so good with that lavender/baby blue dress. And her heels are crazy cool. I want!


1. Blake Lively at Fashion's Night Out

When I first saw Blake in this gorgeous, graphic Marchesa dress, I gasped out loud. The reason why is because I love it when celebrities have a yellow moment (if they wear it right that is!) The strapless top half and the floaty bottom, makes a flirty and girly dress which I am always a fan of. In the beginning, I couldn't get used to the Louboutins she is wearing, as I thought the red steals some of the attention of the dress, but now I love it as I feel it compliments it perfectly.
