Celeb Watch Late October

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

It’s that fab time of year Celeb watchers, when we can cover up our Botox disasters with Halloween masks and indulge in pumpkin soup to our heart’s content. Our Celebs have no such luxuries however, as they have to hit the circuit in frocks even more revealing than Cheryl’s X factor outfits. So let’s see what looks made the headlines this week…

Gwen Stefani – this girl always rocks! Bang on trend with this season’s bright red lipstick, and a huge square sunnie with a cool graduated lens.

Prince – The purple popstar managed to find a sharp pair of shades with a very sleek side shield that looked stylish and mysterious. Of course everything looks pretty big on him but he’s always cool!

Elle Macpherson – the body shows she can do the face as well! Gorgeous, tall, svelte, in a square sunnie that sits high on the brows, to give balance to her oval face.

Julianne Moore – with her hot Autumnal colouring Julianne hit on the perfect sunnies for her, a rich tortoiseshell that looks delicious with her warm skin and hair tones. Black may be the fashion packs fave but you go girl – stay true to what nature gave you!

So snuggle up in your legwarmers and sweater dresses, but do slip on the Celeb shades when you venture outside for tricks and treats! It may be cold outside but it’s always warm in Harvey Nicols darlings, so there’s no excuse not to shop, and we’ve all got those Christmas lists to write….

2009 eyewear trends!

Monday, March 9th, 2009

This year, there is a ton of emphasis on big and colorful accessories, and eyewear is no exception! Ray Ban Wayfarers are everywhere in all different bright colors and neons. Eyewear frames are now coming out in colors that we have not seen in a long time; vibrant peacock blues, raspberry and purple, and other jewel tones. They are great to add a dimension of funkiness and uniqueness to you look.

One particular style that is just becoming really trendy is the Persol 714. The Persol company started in the early part of the 1900′s and was actually designed for for pilots and sports drivers. These glasses actually fold up and can be carried in your pocket! However, they gained popularity within the popular culture after the 1972 movie ‘the Getaway’ with Steve McQueen. They were seen on the recent James Bond movie, ‘Casino Royale,’ and celebrities such as Zac Efron and Elle MacPherson have recently been seen wearing them.

As we get farther into the year, we will see more and more big, thick frames! And we do not mean the 1970′s bug-eye frames that have been so trendy for the last several years. We are talking about 1950’s square, thick plastic frames. We have seen several pairs by Gucci and Christian Dior that have a fabulous cat-eye shape. Just like grandma Vera used to wear! The ornamentation of tiny rhinestones and crystals is also coming back giving this season a very ‘Viva Las Vegas!’ style.
