Celeb Watch – New Looks for New Year

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

Wasn’t the festive season simply exhausting Celeb Watchers? All those hectic days planning our New Looks for New Year, endless partying, speculating on VB’s new maternity range……so much fashion forecasting, so little time…..and then there’s the impending nuptials and our homage to Kate hen night to plan – it’s all happening here at Celeb towers! Meanwhile, we haven’t taken our eye off the ball or the hot looks of our fave Celebs, and we definitely need some new sunnies to disguise the after effects of all those canapés and Krug……

Chloe Sevigny – Looking a bit of a curvy beach babe in Miami in equally curvy sunnies, a bold choice of bikini and deep round frames that accentuate her feminine jawline.

David Tennant – Still our fave Doctor, and time traveling hottie, seen around town with his fiancée (lucky lucky girl!) and sticking with the geek look we know and love.

Victoria Beckham – Everyone’s fave blooming Mummy-to-be (Sorry Amanda Holden!) dressing down and looking cool in LA in a smoky lens Aviator. We cannot wait to see what she comes up with in her next fashion collection now super sized will be the new skinny….

Beyonce – Another bootylcious babe accentuating her curves with a rounded sunnie – must be the must have look for the season. Or maybe she knows nobody is actually looking at the glasses…..

Obviously time to give up the gym and get stuck into the chocs ladies, as we’ll all be needing to pile on the pounds to get the shape of the season. Two weeks into New year and we actually get a resolution we can stick too……

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…..

Super Sunnies

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

My excitement levels are so high this week that I’ve had to write and share with you. I’m the proud owner of my very own pair of one off, totally individual designer glasses, and the sun has come out to celebrate with me! I’ll let you in on the secret even though I know you’ll only want them too!

I’ve worn glasses since my teens, and being short sighted I need them all the time for driving, TV, walking around, shopping etc. I’ve always loved sunglasses but have not worn them since before I got a prescription, as of course I can’t see with them on. Browsing an online optician site, I realised that I could order frames and have a dark lens put into them, creating my one off sunnie specials!

I mailed the IGC to check what I would need. With my prescription and a dark tint they said I didn’t need a special UV filter, just a dark tint on my plastic lenses would be ok. I found out I could also have the anti-reflection coat which I have on my clear specs. I kept looking through my magazines to see what style to go for. I’ve got quite a little face so the Nicole Ritchie/ Victoria Beckham huge shades are silly on me.

I saw Chloe Sevigny in a square shaped black frame, Kate Moss has this style too, so I choose a Gucci frame which was near to this. I ordered it with dark grey lenses, and waited with breathless excitement for the post! They came within a week and I love love love them! They are the perfect size and shape and no one else has got a pair exactly like mine – so order yourself some but please pick your own!

Celebrity Eyewear

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Celebrities are always the people to watch to spot up and coming trends. So far this year, Britney Spears has been seen in a pair of Chanel sunglasses with gold lattice detail on the side. The lenses wrap around the sides of the face.

Kate Winslet has been seen in thick black Bvlgari frames with a fantastic high gloss. The arms of hers are decorated with a silver square motif logo design that is accented by over ninety Swarovski crystals.

Victoria Beckham has a favorite pair of Dolce and Gabbana glasses, while Liz Hurley prefers her Gucci aviators. Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, and Nicole Richie have all been spotted wearing a fantastic pair of oversized Dolce and Gabbana glasses. They are still slightly bug-eyed shape but are more squarish and very cool. Madonna seems to mostly be wearing Christian Dior.
We have been noticing, however, a very interesting trend that we are curiously watchincg Amanda Peet, Kate Blanchett, Chloe Sevigny, Jennifer Garner, Kirsten Dunst and Lindsay Lohan have all been spotted out in public wearing eyeglasses, and looking fresh and fabulous!

I think it is a great look, adding personality and a little kick to their style, and I hope this trend grows and continues. Each of these women had on designer frames that were unique from one another and very flattering. Chloe Sevigny had on a heavier fifties inspired pair while Cate Blanchett sported a sleek bright blue pair. I love the sophistication and geek chic of this new look!
