Celeb Watch Early Winter 2010

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Oooh- time to wrap up warm Celeb Watchers, the sparkly season will soon be upon us, and thank the good Lord for giving us decorated Jimmy Choo UGGs and rain proof mascara. While we snuggle into our chunky knits and mourn the loss of number one on our most wanted man list (You go Kate –congratulations on finally bagging your very own handsome price!) It’s time to make our Christmas lists. We’ve been really good girls this year Santa baby, so you’re definitely going to bring us just what we want……..that’s one order of Johnny Depp, a side of Brad Pitt, and let’s choose some yummy sunnies to shield us from the nosy papps…..

Victoria Beckham – VB is so having a fashion moment – loving her more than ever right now – the perfect dress, the sleek hair, the pearl encrusted shoes, and what sunnies – from her own collection we presume, huge, black, mysterious, and she’s got David!!! How can one woman be so lucky?!!!!

Cheryl Cole – Aside the fashion blip of the Minnie Mouse hair (Chezza – what were you thinking?!!!) this girl can’t put a foot wrong – a subtle variation on VB’s look, still black and huge, but an interesting angular shape that’s lush with her delicate face shape.

Brad Pitt – Quite frankly even in that beard he still looked scrumptious, so he doesn’t have to work too hard, but in a funky rounded aviator with interesting chunky sides he looked pretty cool.

Olivia Palermo – Tres chic in an overgrown Wayfarer, this is the week for the blackest of black plastics for the girls, in an interesting array of shapes. Nice work Olivia!

Hmmm – no brainer then, a chunky dark plastic it is, but without the Minnie Mouse do and we’re not sure orange is our colour…….maybe we need a slinky blue Issa dress to bag our very own Prince, after all Harry is still on the market……

Celeb Watch Autumn 2010

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Before we totally lock ourselves away in hibernation mode, Celeb watch is working on creating some Christina-like curves ready for winter. We salute you Miss Hendricks, for bringing back the hourglass and giving us an excuse to scoff Belgian truffles! While we await our transformation to Mad Men type Goddess, maybe some Hollywood glamour will spur us on. Let’s see what the Celebs are sporting this week…..

Brad Pitt – Thankfully no longer covered in that dreadful beard, Brad’s now disguised in an oversized Aviator with very retro old gold rims. Good job he looks gorgeous in anything……

Victoria Beckham – Celebrating the launch of her scrumptious new couture collection, chic as ever in a yummy high and deep black plastic with uber cool graduated lenses. You never get it wrong VB!

Colleen Rooney – After a tough couple of weeks Colleen may not be smiling but she is looking pretty sharp in a sleek and minimal Aviator with the darkest lenses seen since Roy Orbison hit town. Chin up Colleen, and stay stylish….

Chloe Sevigny – Still rocking those Ray Ban Wayfarers, and still our best blonde girl. Chloe has the perfect indie style to make even the Wayf look fresh.

Hmmm – we may have to postpone the hibernation to get shopping, loving that look on Chloe. Must not wear ourselves out though or our Christina curves might melt away before we have a chance to get our Zac Posen frocks made…..

High Flying Style

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Men’s fashion is always a tricky issue. Without the endless choice that girls are offered their options are limited, and those striving to find a new look are restricted in their choices. As with clothes, the need to conform for your career can also frustrate you if you’re a dedicated follower of fashion.

Your eyewear can help you to look individual without resorting to the dodgier side of fashion. A cool and classic style for the guy who wants to stand out is the Aviator. This was designed in the fifties as a sunglass frame, a highly practical shape which gives maximum protection from glare. The double bridge makes it strong, and as anyone who has seen Topgun knows, it looks really really cool!

It has been a favourite ever since, dipping in and out of fashion for ophthalmic frames, and always a best seller as a sunnie. The double bar across the bridge was always a particularly masculine feature, and although it works well on sunnies for girls, it’s rarely seen as a feature with clear lenses with lady’s frames.

Steer clear of the Aviator if you have a strong prescription as the lenses will be thick and heavy, it’s actually best for lower powers. It will be hard wearing thanks to the double bar, and is a good investment piece as it’s always a classic. It suits most face shapes, although don’t go for it if it will rest on your cheekbones. There are subtly different shapes within this style bracket, varying from the extreme teardrop shape to more angular, squared off edges. The classic colours are gold, silver and black, as the retro styling suits simplicity.

You’ll be in the good company of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Russell Brand and James Blunt in your Aviator, so fly high in your stylish eyewear!

Celeb Watch Early Winter 2009

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Snuggle into those winter woolies, but be prepared to throw them off to party! What better for making an entrance, whether to the office party or on the red carpet, than a pair of hot hot shades? Santa draws ever nearer Celeb fans, so you’d better be good…..and what are the good ones wearing this week?

Russell Brand & Katy Perry – loved up and looking sensational in their shades – matching Aviators, how cute! Russ goes for black of course, in a dramatic plastic Aviator, while Katy goes for a softer gold version. There’s always a version of style to suit everyone, and these two look well suited but not too matchy-matchy in theirs. Adorable!

Sienna Miller – an interesting take on an iconic shape. The proportions of the Wayfarer but with a cool little touch of gold on the trim, and a variation on the shape, classic with a twist – we like!

Brad Pitt – Got himself a new Aviator by the looks of it, gold and huge, with a really swept shape and a tint that gets darker towards the top of the lens. The perfect shape – but then Brad has got the perfect face!

Robert Pattinson – everyone’s favourite vampire (especially Kristen Stewarts’ if the rumours are to be believed!) out in the sun with a classic Wayfarer perched on those killer cheekbones. V useful for camouflaging that ever changing eye colour……

So hit the hot spots Celeb watchers, in one of two choices if you like to go with Celeb style. Russell or Robert, what’s your thing this winter? We’re sure either would help to keep us warm on those long chilly nights…..

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Hola celeb watchers! Greetings from the beach, where siesta and Sangria are the buzz words of our week. Late summer will hopefully be hot hot hot…….just like our fave celebs! Victoria’s looking skinny, Angie’s looking scary, we’re looking at them – so what’s inspiring us this week?

Tess Daly - Everyone’s impressed by her toned tum after the birth of mini Vernon number two. Her abs and her sunnies are equally stunning. Huge white plastic shades with a solid dark tint. We won’t recognise with her clothes on!

Demi Moore – She’s got the killer body, she’s got the man to die for, and if you can take your eyes off either of those amazing assets, check out her gold aviator. Cool, classy, understated.

Brad Pitt – Brad never disappoints in the style stakes, but then frankly he could wear his kid’s plastic Disney specs and still make us melt. No wonder Angie was pulling out all the stops in her Michael Kors leathers. Brad was all in black too, and his Aviators, cool classic gold too, were the perfect accessory, along with Angie of course!

Mischa Barton – Hiding behind a classic Wayfarer after her stint in hospital. Her tiny face is pretty much swamped with her hair and sunnies, but they’re always in style.

Well it’s back to the deck, simply everyone is lounging on their yachts this month. Our dingy is not quite the same, but perfect for sidling up alongside our Celebs to check them out! Enjoy the weather fashion fans, and start thinking about what will go with your short and shoulders in the autumn……

I’m 27 & Now I need Glasses !?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I just got my first ever pair of glasses last week – it’s been an amazing experience that I want to share with you, as all my friends are bored with me going on about it!

At twenty seven I’m a late developer apparently, my husband is v excited about this as he’s hoping it’s not just about my eyes! Ha! Dream on. The Optician told me it’s unusual to be short sighted at my age with no previous prescription, but there you go, I’ve always liked to think I’m special! I’m -1.00 in my right eye, and -0.75 in the left. I need my glasses for TV, driving, and cinema etc.

I felt a bit disappointed about having them, but as I have a problem that can easily be sorted I’m telling myself to be brave. My husband always buys his specs with the online optician, so we browsed sites and made a short list. I tried his frames on to get an idea of size, and chose some Marc Jacobs – never turn down the chance to shop!!

The world is now a totally different place. There are bricks, leaves, and everything seems weirdly three dimensional. My rapidly developing crows feet have relaxed as I’m not squinting at road signs all the time. I’ve stopped wearing statement jewellery as I love having my specs do that for me. I feel more professional, better dressed, and
kind of grown up!

I wish I hadn’t put up with my short sightedness for so long, as I’m loving my glasses. The online optician is putting the corrective lenses in my Gucci sunnies too, which is cool as I love the frame. Must go now – need to re-watch all Brad Pitt DVDs now I can see him properly!!

Celeb Style Watch – Post Easter 2009

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Put down the dregs of those choccie eggs, pop on your neon sandals and get set for Summer! What have our fave celebs been out in this week?

Brad Pitt – Don’t we wish we really knew what was going on behind closed doors chez Brangalina? What we do know is how to get their sunnie style – Brad in cool squared off avaitors, with a lush shiny bridge.

Cindy Crawford – Wandering along a beach in California looking amazing in a bikini, and a very cool pair of huge aviator shades. Shame she was hiding them under a really cool huge hat!

Sienna Miller – Rocking the retro look in classic Wayfarer shaped sunnies. A popular style since the 1950s – Sienna knows a style to stick with.

Kylie – Taking her new man to meet the Parents, playing golf in plastic aviator shades! As usual, Kylie manages that twist on a classic.

Nicole Ritchie – Bucking the trend in huge round black sunnies. Nice shape to compliment that cute little baby bump!
