Look-of-the-Day

“You’re not in America now, you’re in Ireland.  So have a drink and shut up,” Declan, played by Matthew Goode, tells Amy Adams’ character, Anna, in the 2010 film Leap Year.  The two play complete opposites who end up roaming the Irish countryside together so that Anna can propose to her boyfriend in Dublin on February 29th – the one day when it’s okay for a woman to ask a man to marry him in Ireland.  Inevitably, Anna ends up falling for her tour guide instead.  They end up making one sexy Irish couple, which is why we’ve chosen them for today’s “Tuesday Twosome.”  Here, Adams is wearing a Burberry trench coat with a green and white floral lining, tan Christian Louboutin pumps, and a mint green stitched top by Day Birger et Mikkelsen.  The soft color combination against Adams’ red hair and bright blue eyes creates one lovely outfit.  Her partner-in-crime, with a pretty gorgeous pair of blue eyes himself, Matthew Goode is sexy in brown pants, working class boots, a maroon-colored shirt and a dark peacoat from All Saints Spitalfields.  Matthew Goode actually thought Leap Year ended up being one of the worst films made in 2010, but he took the role so he could fly home to London on weekends!  Oh, well, we liked it!

Wednesday’s Shoe

How serendipitous that the outfit we featured on “Look-of-the-Day” today from a movie called Leap Year would have both pink clothing and a great shoe to feature!  This heel is worn by Amy Adams’ character in the film.  These tan leather peep-toe pumps are Christian Louboutin and called “City 120 Platform Sandals.”  They have a 4.5 inch heel and stitched paneling.  They now retail at $492 on Net-A-Porter.  Maybe they’ll bring you the luck of the Irish, too!

Look-of-the-Day

This is the perfect outfit to feature for a February 29th that falls on “Pink Wednesday” – an outfit from the movie Leap Year!  Normally, we save this film’s stylish looks for “Irish Week” prior to St. Patrick’s Day, but we have to celebrate a day that only comes around once every four years!  In this film, Amy Adams plays an uptight American named Anna Brady who attempts to travel to the Emerald Isle so she can get engaged on Leap Day – the one day it’s okay for a woman to propose to a man in Ireland.  Of course, a different Irish law comes into effect (one by the name of Murphy’s) and nothing goes as planned.  Here, she’s getting particularly irritated in a lovely outfit, probably not meant for the back roads of the Irish countryside.  Anna is sporting a floral blouse, a dark salmon pink cardigan adorned with flower buttons, and a high-waisted gray pencil skirt, all from Paul Smith.  She accessorizes the look with tan Christian Louboutin pumps, Louis Vuitton luggage, and a Burberry trench coat with a green and white floral lining she wears throughout the whole film.  Leap Day might throw Anna Brady’s love life out of whack, but at least it keeps her fashion choices and the calendar in sync!

Look-of-the-Day

Amy Adams certainly appears to be Irish here, but she’s actually an American traveling through the Emerald Isle in Leap Year.  Her trench coat, gray pencil skirt with a hint of yellow lace, flowered blouse, golf green vest and red hair make her appear like the epitome of a modern Irish woman – but alas, she’s just playing a wild rover.  Still, it’s a flawless example of an outfit for the first month of Spring – feminine, floral, with a hint of pastel, and a classic cover-up for those rainy days.
