"What to wear today?" - Get Annalise Keating's look

Today's get-the-look is inspired by another powerful woman - Viola Davis' character Annalise Keating from the new hit show How to get away with murder. Unlike Olivia and Claire she doesn't care much about minimalism, color coordination or looking appropriate. She has shown us that a little cleavage is always a good thing, especially when paired with sexy heels and a structured black bag like the Givenchy 'Antigona' shown below. What she does coordinate, though, is her jewelry.

1. Stella McCartney pencil dress - $1,290 | 2. Givenchy Antigona goat leather bag - $2,435 | 3. Aquazzura 'Matilde' suede pumps - $619 | 

4. Maria Black gold plated earrings - $320 | 5. J.Crew gold-tone faux pearl necklace - $98

#MyCosmoStyle: A day at the Cosmopolitan

If there is one lesson that we all have learned from years of travelling is packing lightly. Vacation style should be cool and effortless and one must know which key items to bring along. For my entry of the #MyCosmoStyle challenge I have decided to create a comfortable and stylish outfit which can easily transition from day to night with just a change of the right accessories.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has a lot to offer to its guests and every woman will want to experience all the opportunities available. In order to have time to enjoy every bit of the hotel without stressing over your appearance, get a simple dress like the Calvin Klein below that will make it through the day.

1. Red Valentino leather tote - $650 | 2. Linda Farrow rose gold sunglasses - $1,065 | 3. Charlotte Olympia velvet slippers - $595 | 4. Anita Ko 18-karat rose gold earring - $1,700 | 5. Calvin Klein Collection crepe dress - $1,895 | 6. Stella McCartney silk blazer - $2,180

They say when in Vegas go fun, so pair it with these adorable Charlotte Olympia kitten slippers for breakfast at the Wicked Spoon Buffet and add a lightweight silk blazer to make it more appropriate for lunch at Scarpetta. If you are planning on lounging by the pool in-between meals at the Marquee Dayclub don't forget your Valentino tote and Linda Farrow rose gold sunglasses for an exquisite finish.

The most important rule you must remember when transitioning an outfit from day to night is picking accessories with a completely different vibe from the previous as most people won't notice you've changed. Trade the comfortable slippers for a pair of sexy Aquazzura sandals, grab a wild party purse and add a dark shade of nail polish and you are ready to hit the Marquee Nightclub until the morning!

1. Calvin Klein Collection crepe dress - $1,895 | 2. Aquazzura fringed sandals - $945 | 3. Saint Laurent jacquard bag - $1,850 | 4. Ana Khouri 18-karat gold ear cuff - $3,410 | 5. Saint Laurent bleu galuchat nail polish - $27

So book a room at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas right away and enjoy the perks in style!

"What to wear today?" - Less is more

We often hear the words 'less is more', but what do they really mean? The biggest mistake women make when following that rule is the impact of the outfit - dressing minimal means looking simple, but not plain. Pair a beautiful black bias-cut dress with architectural sandals, go elegant on the acces-sories and remember not to overcook. Always have a matte lipstick on hand in a popular shade - this season it's coral.

1. J.W.Anderson silk satin dress - $1.200 | 2. Miu Miu suede sandals - $650 | 3. Chanel velvet matte lipstick - $35 | 4. Lanvin crystal earrings - $595 | 5. Dolce & Gabbana crystal-embellished shoulder bag - $2.995

"What to wear today?" - Anything but Basic

Rules are meant to be broken - and if you are one of those fashionistas with a 'know-how' down your pocket then this is just the outfit for you. It breaks two of the "most important" fashion rules which read: "Never mix metals" and "Jeans and basic shirts are for casual wear". Prove them wrong by pairing the most basic items in your closet with a stellar pair of sandals, a couple of snake-leather accessories and this season's hottest minimal jewelry.

1. Violetta striped cotton shirt - $114 | 2. Rupert Sanderson metallic sandals - $770 | 3. Zagliani python bag - $3.500 | 4. Gucci python belt - $679 | 5. Gucci aviator sunglasses - $495 | 6. Inez and Vinoodh 18-karat gold earrings - $2.225 | 7. J Brand boyfriend jeans - $225
