Celeb Watch – February 2011

Monday, February 21st, 2011

After drooling over our Celeb friends in their golden globe outfits (and admiring the golden globes of many girls on the red carpet !) We’re exhausted by all the Celeb watching but looking forward to chucking out the cruise collections and getting excited about the new season. Goodbye January, hello Fabulous February – we just need some camouflage to help us sparkle into spring. Now who’s inspired us this month……

Helena Bonham-Carter – You gotta give the girl credit for true originality. Not only cosy on the big screen with our very fave Mr Darcy Colin Firth, but firmly semi-ensconced with the deliciously dark Tim Burton, and now wowing us on the catwalk. Mis-matched shoes – check. Mad hair – check. Very groovy round sunnies that she may have borrowed off Johnny Depp – check. A true one off – go Helena!!

Jennifer Aniston – Not gracing the red carpet at the globes, but looking pretty cool about town this week in an elegant deep plastic with a wide proportion across the face – very flattering. She may not have loved her Rachel cut but we’re loving your style Jen…

Kate Moss- Seen out and about, finally in a change from those so-last-century Wayfarer style sunnies. A grown up sweeping wide plastic, in a cool shape. A chic graduated tint brings further attention to those killer cheek bones – as if they need it!

Nicole Ritchie – not always our fave style Queen but looking cool this week in a classic Aviator. Shiny gold is pretty with her sun kissed blonde locks, and the obligatory Celeb camouflaging dark lens.

So plenty of inspiration out there this week Celeb fans, Helena looks like an easy icon to follow, just need to throw away the hair brush, pair up all our shoes in mad combinations, and borrow dad’s John Lennon sunnies. Sorted!!

Celeb Watch New Year 2010

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Happy New Year Celeb Watchers! Given up on those tedious resolutions yet? Taken up smoking, drinking, and shopping for England again? Good girls! Life’s too short for abstinence, when we’ve got all those new season looks to think about. Maybe we need a little help with some divine inspiration from our divine Celeb crushes….

Robbie Williams – channelling 2009 style in  the classic Wayfarer Clubmaster frame. Get with it Robster! That look is sooo Noughties, and we thought you’d put all those bad things from the last decade behind you…..

Katy Perry – Loved up with Russell (her new husband?! Wild!) And looking seriously cool in a slim gold Aviator. Although not always famed for classic chic Katy hits the right style notes this time.

Lily Cole – Sometimes comes up with some interestingly individual looks but echoing Katy, in a sharp Aviator which looks stunning with her Titian locks and milky white skin. Truly gilding the lily!

Couple of style notes though Celebs – Kate – Miss Moss is still wearing her Wayfarer, which is so last decade it’s practically back in! Kate come on, you’re an innovator not a Robbie Williams impersonator! Nicole Ritchie, guilty of many crimes against fashion, in a Chanel that should have Coco turning in her grave. Even high fashion can be a big big mistake…….

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!

Celeb Style Watch May 09

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

If the Weather men are right – and when aren’t they? We’re set for a scorching Summer. Our Celebs are going for it this week, with some enormous sunglasses perched on their cute little noses. Want a bit of their style? Then let’s check out what they’re up to in May. Accessorise those fetching little swine flu masks with the perfect sunnies and let the sun shine on……reach for the Stars Fashionistas………

Sarah Jessica Parker – Out shopping for those divine twins she’s got on the way. Cool in HUGE Aviators with a funky mirrored lens.

Madonna – The press are showing no mercy but she was showing off a v cool Chanel with the trendy rose logo – a big story for their jewellery.

Jennifer Anniston – her love life may be in tatters but her shades are very classy – huge, square, a perfect fit on that neat little nose.

Nicole Ritchie – White oversized shades no less! Why not buck the trend for black! Massive on her petite face, very eighties revival.

Gwen Stefani – Massive aviator shaped wrap frame but with very chic, very slim sides. Sounds just like Gwennie herself!

June’s issue of Harpers suggests we all try statement sunnies – looks like all these girls took the advice! Shine on Celebs…..

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!
