Celeb Watch Late Spring 2012

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Post-Royal-Nuptials Celeb watchers, we are drained with the emotion of the past couple of weeks (Wills – why not me? Beatrice – why generally? Pippa – why do we not have a rear like you? Why why why?) Having taken down the bunting and finished off the celebratory Krug we’re eager to get back to normal and hit those shops. Pleated midi skirt – check. Colour block playsuit – check. Stunning new sunnies for June? Distress darlings!! Last months fashion simply won’t do………now which hot look can we steal from our celeb faves?

Uma Thurman – Spotted on the red carpet in a thrillingly different nude frame with smokin’ hot graduated lenses. Nicely laid back summer vibe.

Alexa Chung – The fashionista’s fashionista sporting a deliciously retro, severely cat’s eye shape in sleek black, interestingly with a slim side, a new look for this year. Always ahead of the fashion pack Alexa….

Brad Pitt – Not the best look we ever saw him in, but with Brad, even bad spec days are divine. A new twist on the wayfarer perennial look, polished plastic with a pale and interesting lens.

Sarah Jessica Parker – Our fave girl to watch in the fashion stakes sets out in the New York spring with a very chic sunnie – oversized black plastic with a neat logo, on the slim side again – Alexa you were the trend setter!!

So we’re filled with enthusiasm and ideas thanks to our inspiring celebs – and just in case it’s true that Chelsy and Harry have split, we need to get shopping fast and then work on bagging our own Prince Charming! Kate Middleton, newly crowned Duchess of Cambridge, you are every girl’s real inspiration!

Celeb Watch July 2010

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

A proper English Summer Celeb watchers, what a fabulous fashion opportunity. At last we can bask in our Melissa Odabash swimmies without a cardie on top! Forget St Barts, with this weather Clacton might just be the new Caribbean. We never thought we’d leave Glasto with less mud than we arrived with! Talking of which, festival chic is the perfect barometer for fashion for the rest of the summer, so what did we spy, in between swooning our latest girl crush, Kylie the new Aphrodite….

Kate Moss – Finally giving the Wayfarers a rest and stepping out in the cutest Aviator to match her boy crush Jamie Hince. Sweet! Killer on the cheekbones Kate, a great look.

Alexa Chung – Cool once more, in a divine take on the Wayfarer look, a deep plastic that complimented her elfin face shape perfectly.

Sienna Miller – A beach babe Aviator shape that looked chilled and laid back with her unstructured hair and that ever present ghost of boho vibe.

Kylie – Our fave babe weighed down by this season’s biggest sunnie so far, an Eighties homage with huge dark lenses, nicely balanced with skinny rims and sides. Why just kiss Ana Matronic Kylie? We were waiting……..

Festival season wore us out Darlings, so now it’s time to chill with the left over Wimbledon Pimms before we head off to the beach. Check the packing – Stella McCartney clutch full of Aviators, Chanel Coco lippy, Gucci cuff, Jimmy Choos – see how exhausting the last couple of weeks have been…..

Celeb Watch – Hotting Up!

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

Feeling hot hot hot Celeb Watchers! The scent of fake tan is overpowering round here, nearly blotting out the Wimbledon watcher’s Strawberries and Krug, but we can’t sit out and get real tans due to nasty ageing effects and the way harsh fact that if you’re sunbathing, you’re not shopping – who’d be a girl?!! So now that we’re nicely orange and have washed off the Glasto dust, time to find the perfect look for Jumpin’ July……

Cheryl Cole – The Nations sweetheart bravely getting on with her life, chic in a radically slim-sided sunnie that complements her heart shaped face and that enormous smile – and just who is responsible for that Chezza?!! We girls need to know!!

Florence Welch – Minus machine but with lots of added style, in a very retro round frame – kind of Harry Potter meets Ozzy Osbourne – with a cool blue lens. If you can’t find any, borrow them from any under fives dressing up box, and sneak out some of their ankle socks too….

Cameron Diaz – Californian beach babe Cameron went for the classic aviator, a casual shape that suits her tousled surfer babe style. Dark frame and lenses though – an unusual contrast to her golden skin and hair…..

Alexa Chung – shocked us by going for the obvious! The indie chick who always stands out from the crowd was blending in, in a very boring black plastic. Come on Alexa – we need inspiration from you, although it’s comforting that even style Goddesses sometimes get it wrong…..

So Celebs, we’re loving it that you’re surprising us this week, not going for the obvious, although Kate’s probably still in that Wayfarer and VB will be in a huge Jackie O plastic, rather like the World Cup results, some things never change………..like the fact that we’re off to hit the High Street, Hurrah!!!!
