Celeb Watch Late September 2009

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Well Celeb watchers, the world is a strange place this week – Dame Vera Lynn at the top of the charts, the Beatles re-mastered – what next, shoulder pads?!!! Can it be true, nostalgia is back in fashion, and we, as ever, are right at the head of the fashion pack. Bedecked in leg warmers, batwings sleeves, and having an SJP eighties perm flash back, it’s all about embracing our inner disco diva and shrieking Fame! We’re gonna live for ever – or some fashions do at any rate…..

Ricky Gervais – never did we expect his name to grace our celeb watch blog, with all due to respect to Ricky he’s not famed for his cutting edge look. Here he is this week though, sporting the eternally stylish Wayfarer, a man in black with classic style. Obviously if it’s good enough for our Kate, then it’s good enough for Ricky….

We're as suprised as you are, but lets face it, wayfarers are cool!

Lady Ga Ga – You just have to love this girl….while everyone else is having their flashback Flashdance moment, she’s eschewed the huge sunnie trend and gone for tiny Ozzy Osbourne type round frames, these even pre-date ra ra skirts!

What next?.... Biting the head off a chicken?!

Daisy Lowe – Clearly a huge follower of style icon Ricky Gervais, in an homage to the great man she’d been out and about in a Wayfarer type frame, but on her elfin features it looks huge, so is it the real thing? Looks real cute, whichever it is…

Clearly following Ricky Gervais' good form this month

Rihanna – Chic just isn’t the word, this girl rocks every trend going. Seen out in a HUGE deep frame, very chunky, very now, oversized and stylish on her delicate features.

Stylish as ever

So get set for the Winter sun and keep an eye on those stars, plenty of fashion inspiration going on this week. Beatlemania inspired sixties Twiggy lashes and Audrey Hepburn shades? Perms, leotards and dance wear for day wear? You must decide, followers of fashion, or if all else fails, channel that unexpected new style guru, Mr Gervais……

How To Go Lady Ga Ga!!

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

If you’re loving the chunky fringe this season – a hot hairstyle seen on everyone from Lady Ga Ga to Beth Ditto – then you might want to know how to add the perfect eyewear to enhance your look.

You need a good relationship with your hairdresser, as this fringe needs a regular trim every couple of weeks to keep it off your specs. Even if you don’t wash your hair daily, you can just shampoo the fringe. It will smudge your spectacle lenses if greasy – not a good look! Keep the fringe length just over the brows, and choose a glasses frame that sits slightly below this level.

If you’re got the perfect hairdresser and therefore the perfect straight bangs, you’d look cool in a chunky plastic frame – geek or chic and sleek – with a straight top rim that follows the line of your fringe. The Rayban Clubmaster shape is good, it has a thick top plastic rim and a lower metal one. This type of frame is everywhere this Summer, for sunglasses or clear prescription eyewear.

If you take the fringe higher, then a fifties cats eye shape is fantastic, and gives you a really definitive look. Think Dita Von Teese rather than Sheila’s Wheels though! Whether brunette or blonde you can add drama with dark plastic frames, and tortoiseshell or a bright colour pop can be fantastic for summer. Thin metal or rimless frames will fade into insignificance with this style, so go onto the online optician and grab a couple of bolder pairs.
