Sartorial Compass: Julianne Moore, Rouge

Yesterday I got lazy and spent the {rainy} day at the park and therefore have slotted in June's Sartorial Compass a day late.  Julianne Moore has been around for a while, but in recent years she has absolutely killed it.  A die hard Lanvin, YSL and Reed Krakoff fan, she looks amazing in just about anything, and is single-handedly to blame for my obsession with, and attempt at scarlet locks.  Reds and pinks on a redhead can be hard, but she pulls it off masterfully, take a look... 

I don't think I'll ever stop trying to get that color to happen in my hair.  I want to be her when I'm 50.  

Sartorial Compass: Maggie Gyllenhaal, What Remains

The last few dresses that signify to me why Maggie Gyllenhaal is and will always be a Sartorial Compass, are the ones below.  Color, texture and simple silhouettes. 

 No basic black lace to be found.

 The angular shapes on this dress are so perfect.  

 I love when people wear Prada on big red carpets, this dress was way ahead of the ombre trend, and is such a beautiful fit.  Not your average Oscar dress, as per usual.

In YSL at the Metropolitan Opera.  Simply perfect. 

If Maggie Gyllenhaal has taught you anything this month I hope that it's a fearlessness of print and pattern, and the audacity to wear whatever you are comfortable in regardless of  trends and critics.

Sartorial Compass: Leighton & Blair

Leighton Meester wouldn't have a million events to go to if it wasn't for the success of Gossip Girl, and her character, Blair Waldorf.  So today you'll see a few more of my favorite Leighton moments, as well as the best outfits in Blair's 5 seasons.  

LEIGHTON:

Jason Wu, YSL (favoritteee), & Missoni.  

BLAIR:

Nothing says Blair Waldorf to me like a few pictures of her on the steps of the Met before a day at Constance.  Then of course we have Blair in Paris to kick off season 4, where she meets her soon to be husband.  The look in the center with the mixed prints is one of my all time favorites.  

Have a lovely Sunday to wrap up this long Holiday weekend!
