Muse Me: Dianna Agron

With the current print craze filling nearly every storefront (Cerato especially), we’re positive there’s no better choice for this month’s fashion muse! Dianna Agron has officially been dubbed the Print Princess of 2012. Her character on Glee, Quinn, could even take a few cues from Dianna’s quirky, fun and feminine style. So effortless and experimental, it seems to us she can do no wrong. We absolutely adore the idea of pairing an all-over print with a tied jean shirt. This look is relaxed, but chic, something we believe fashion should always be. Dianna is also the princess of mixing and matching, stripes and florals, bold prints and even bolder prints. We think it’s important to push the boundaries in the world of fashion, because honestly, who really wants to blend in when it’s so much more fun to standout? This is exactly why we chose Dianna as our current go-to for fashion musings. Her style is unique, fresh and full of surprise—a refined combination very few can say they’ve mastered.

We can’t help but notice how much these current in store pieces scream “Dianna Agron: Street Style.” From bold prints in A-Line dresses to quirky prints in sheer, blousy tops to even bolder prints in flowy fabrics, we think we’ve pretty much covered the must-haves of Dianna’s style.

Obsessed with Jess

Judging by her clothing style outside of the show, we’re guessing Zooey Deschanel has a lot to do with the quirky, ultra feminine looks her character Jess dawns in New Girl. We find the pattern mixing, high-waisted skirts and bright ballet flats a refreshing approach to our everyday. Style doesn’t always have to be safe or even chic; it can just as easily be playful and experimental. The best part about this: you’ll never end up wearing the same thing twice. And as a bonus, you’ll never have to worry about blending into the drab, depressing nature of an urban sprawl. So, in honor of our obsession with the daring dress of our favorite fashionable TV character, we’ve created three looks from Cerato that exude her bubbly, carefree sense of style.

Our first look incorporates the often-recreated high-waisted shorts, tights and cheeky prints Zooey’s character wears on the show. We adore this combination for its ease and versatility. With the addition of a few accessories and stepping into a wedge or heel, this ensemble can be transformed from day to night effortlessly.

Cardigans seem to be a staple for Zooey on and off the screen. Rarely do we see her wearing dresses without one. We think it’s the best way to add a layer of conservatism without making an outfit feel overly stuffy. Her dress/cardigan pairings are never boring, however, mixing in metallic or patterns via belts and accessories. This look is preppy, but cute, playful, but classic.

It wouldn’t be right to pull outfits for Zooey or her character Jess without considering the high-waisted skirt. We mostly find her rocking a shorter hemline, flats and long-sleeves, a style decision that never seems tired or overplayed. We specifically picked this candy striped skirt in bubblegum, because frankly, it couldn’t scream “Zooey” any louder if it had a mouth. We imagine she’d go for a basic long-sleeve knit and bright blue flats.

*All Jess-inspired looks are available at Cerato Boutique (with the exception of the high-waisted Marc Jacobs shorts). Shop these looks in store or online, here.

Muse Me: Michelle Williams

This month we’re jumping on the Michelle Williams bandwagon, because frankly, what’s not to love?

Her style is somewhere between super girly and effortlessly chic, the perfect encapsulation of Cerato’s approach to fashion. Some have criticized her for not being age appropriate, but we couldn’t be happier to see her as a style icon among Hollywood’s overexposed. Michelle’s style has come into full bloom since her days on Dawson’s Creek, sticking with ultra feminine silhouettes and straying from overdone looks. She’s definitely the poster child of Hollywood moms, embracing her youthful look, but maturing her choices with a refined sensibility.

In honor of her dainty, feminine approach to personal style, we’ve selected some pieces from the boutique we feel embody her polished appearance.

Muse Me: Rooney Mara

Some have criticized Rooney Mara’s style for being overly simplified, even suggesting she take queues from Kristen Stewart’s “edge meets elegance” approach. We, on the other hand, absolutely adore Rooney Mara and give her serious props for beautifully balancing her “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” demure with a subtle sweetness and femininity.  So, we’ve dedicated some time this week to show all you lovely, confident ladies how to dress like this month’s style icon.
