'Mad About Style': Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein and Nina Dobrev in Thakoon

Both of these ladies are rocking the heck out of the mid-drift baring trend.  I love how they balanced a risque look on top with very conservative look on the bottom with longer A-line skirts.

Designer Spotlight: Katie Ermilio

I came across New York based designer Katie Ermilio's Spring '13 Lookbook and I am really loving this designer's aesthetic.  She infuses ultra-feminine pieces with the latest trends i.e. florals and graphic prints.  I absolutely love what she has done with this spring's graphic black and white trend.  Click the link above to check out the rest of the collection.

Thinking of all of the things I have in my closet that would allow for me to duplicate this exact look!!  How amazing does Ashley Olsen look in this leather pencil skirt and blazer!!
