Style Crush's One to Watch...Kerry Washington

American Actress Kerry Washington has been in acting for quite some time. After her phenomenal performance in Ray Charles biopic Ray, I can personally say I am happy to see her gain more recognition.  She is currently the lead actress in television drama Scandal, and has starred in Quentin Tarantino's controversial slavery film Django Unchained. Her fashion forward style has stunned critics so far and I am sure she will continue to do so throughout the coming year.

This last look is my personal favorite, and was named "Best Dressed" on the E! Network's Fashion Police.

StyleCrush Loves...Oxblood Red

While this is a fairly old trend dating from Autumn 2012, I believe it is one worth noting as it has the potential to last for quite a while.
ACNE Autumn 2012


Christian Siriano Autumn 2012


Nanette Lepore Autumn 2012


As usual the celebs have quickly adopted the trend. Alexa Chung, similarly to Christian Siriano, wore the trend colors from head to toe at Versace's store opening in New York.


 While singer Alicia Keys opted for an all black ensemble with an oxblood blazer, at BET's 106 & Park last October.


Duchess Kate Middleton rocked an oxblood blazer and skirt by French label Paule Ka.


Will you be wearing the oxblood trend this season?

StyleCrush Food for Thought

Last month it was revealed that 10 year old Romeo Beckham was set to star in Burberry's Spring/Summer 2013 campaign. It was reported that the youngster was hand picked by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey. While it was no surprise that Romeo has followed the fashion route, given that his parents are both successful and high profile in the fashion world, it begs the question of whether he is too young to work in such a demanding industry?




Similar to Romeo daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber also aged 10, was hand picked to star in Versace's children line. However after the ad was released, her mother decided to put her fashion career on hold.  “At this point, she's too young to pursue a career. There aren't even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl. But if she's 17 and wants to try it, of course, what can I say?"


What do you all think? What age is too young?
