'Newly Found Sophistication' Award - Leighton Meester

My last 'Award' is the Newly Found Sophistication Award for Leighton Meester (you guys didn't think I'd leave without mentioning my fav, did you?) I picked this for Leigh because she's become a lot more grown up in her fashion choices, 2011 was the year she discovered this newly found sophistication and my, am I impressed! Leighton signature style is very fashion forward and supposed to make you think but this year she's toned it down a notch and come back better than ever.

She's been looking incredibly chic, refined and a lot more confident in her choices which has upped her fashion icon status even more. Here's to Leighton's classy 2011!

'Fashion Force To Be Reckoned With' Award - Zoe Saldana

As I draw nearer to the end of my 'Awards', I knew I had to include someone that always left me in awe and someone who had become the IT girl of the fashion world, the lady I'm talking about ladies and gentlemen is Zoe Saldana.
Ever since Zoe starred in Avatar, the fashion world has taken notice of this gorgeous lady and showered her with  beautiful clothes, in 2011 more than ever she became a fully fledged fashion icon - the biggest proof is when she started popping up with the Spring 2012 pieces way before anyone else, I knew from that moment on that Zoe indeed deserved to be honoured for her taste in clothes!

Here are some of her best looks in 2011...

Standout dress of the year has to be this Armani Prive gown, simply breathtaking.

Best Collection of Diamonds Award - Blake Lively

I wanted to honour Blake Lively's style this year but found a lot of the other Awards were occupied by other ladies so I thought why not honour her amazing taste in jewellery, after all the girl with the perfect wardrobe has the perfect diamonds to complete.

She has a penchant for Lorraine Schwartz jewels and they are literally all that she wears so excuse me if everything I include is by Lorraine, can't say I blame Blake though, her jewels are divine!
This a collection of some of what she wore in 2011, it would take me days to include it all so I just picked my favourites.
*Note - All jewellery is by Lorraine Schwartz unless stated otherwise.

Earrings by Kimberly McDonald. Heaven!

Ring by Kimberly McDonald. 

Ring by Kimberly McDonald.

My personal favourite of the year. 

I think it's pretty safe to say that Blake's jewellery collection outshines everyone else's! Can't wait to see what she has in store for us this year!
