I'm loving Burberry Prorsum shades!


Burberry Prorsum's Spring 2008 eyewear collection seems to be very promising when looking at the previews seen on the runways this week.


Burberry seems to have moved away from the rounded, oversized 60's styles for fall to 80's shield and mask styles sunglasses. Although all the models waring them seem to have veruy different face shapes to one another, they all seem to pull them off just as well.
I can't wait for the range to come out!

Britney Spears back in shape


Although Britney Spears is dressed like an absolute hillbilly on her way to Starbucks yesterday, i can't help but be glad for her. I think her body is looking fab, her shades look cool, she seems to actually be smiling genuinely and no ratty hair seems to be in sight! Baby steps for Britney...baby steps!
And congratulations to her for being the artist with the number 1 download of itunes in 12 different countries for her comeback hit Gimme More!!!

Pregnant Christina Aguliera!


For some who got famous off Daddy's career and being the side kick of socialite Miss Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie sure seems to have gotten a lot of attention over the years...and it seems to be getting more and more vapid during her maternity days. But who can blame you when she dresses the way she does!?


Christina Aguliera, another mother-to-be, looks just as fantastic in her maternity get-up. Thank to celebrities, i actually think the days of tragic maternity wear such as thick elastic banded denim jeans are behind us, which is a blessing for all us future mothers!

Sex and the City: Carrie Bradshaw Style


More and more images of the filming of the Sex and the City movie continue to surface on the internet. Wonderful outfits, crazy combinations and lustful accessories all seem to be the norm.


However, all sites seem to be crediting Sarah Jessica Parker for these oufits, such as 'Sarah Jessica parker does it again', Carrie Bradshaw is a style queen bla bla bla bla bla!


I agree that to some degree the wearer of the outfit has an impact, as to the way the look comes across, BUT to me Sarah Jessica Parker is purely modelling the stylish work of Pat Field, its ALL Pat Field, not SJP oh and NOT Carrie Bradshaw...thats a fictional characters name for crying out loud!!

Backstage Style Apring 2008: Rock Chick


It seems that many models are bound to be seen in very rock chick looks off the runways. This season proved no different, with doll-like models such as Lily Donaldson toughing up their pretty images with skinny jeans, leather jackets, leopard print and shoe booties topped off with a smoky eye.

Always been a fan of this look and always will be!

Hilary Duff at Lax airport


Hilary Duff looked casual cool at Lax Airport yesterday, keeping her outfit minimully coloured with tones of cream and black. She accessoried with a Louis Vuitton Damier bag, Chanel flats and Marc Jacobs MJ 098 studded aviator sunglasses, which can be purchased authentically online at Otticanet for US $ 235.

Versace Spring 2008


Donatella Versace really knows how to get the oomph and sexiness out of any girl with her creations that bring dorky items such as the jumpsuit and casual city shorts to a whole new level.


City shorts in tough leather, jumpsuits with drape and waisted belts, while making color clashing work so well. This is a move away the nauseating blingtastic designs we are familiar with in past Versace collections.

Fendi Spring 2008


The Fendi collection went through 3 different stages on the one runway. The house started with very light, breezy in stark white. Then moved towards a free spirited hippy look of the 70's and reverted back to contrasting textures from the floatyness of chiffon to the roughness of sequins, all in a much darker colour palette, proving that black can never be beaten!

Dsquared Spring 2008


Dsquared received a lot more attention this season, with their clever move to put miss Rihanna on the runway. It created quiet the buzz with the masses. This manoeuvre may have been a clever distraction from the many revealing, verging on tacky designs paraded on the runway.


I could only note three decent wearable items in the whole collection. This included a pocketed black coat with tri-panel detailing, a brown leather jumpsuit (idea sounds bad, but it looks unique in reality), and a gorgeous yellow pea coat which wins because of its timeless simplicity and striking color.

Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2008


I really enjoyed the Dolce and Gabanna Spring 2008 collection. Therunway looks were alot more feminine and the artisitic designs on some of the outfits were purely stunning. The collection is abstract art meets your great grandmothers antic curtains. Alot more wearable and free of the corset clinging styles that Dolce is known for....and my do i love the Printed shoe booties!!!

Who wore it better?


At the Welcome to L.A party hosted for the Beckham's, Victoria opted for an excruciatingly high and (probarbly painful) pair of Giambattisti Valli shoes with black side bow detail and delicate ankle straps.


While recently Mariah Carey *Cringe* wore a lower heeled version of the same pair in white. I have issues with big feet, especially the type that hang over your shoes, so Mariah Carey's toes are doing her any favours in regards to my opinion, therefore my girl Victoria has my vote!


Who do you think wore these unique Giambattisti Valli shoes best?

Ashley Tisdale: Maxi dress sighting


Although the weather is getting colder around the globe, in Australia it the temperatures are rising :) And it's great to get rid of months of wearing layers, to simple easy to wear outfits, such as the popular maxi dress!


Haven't worn long dresses in a while actually, especially not for casual occasions, so this summer will be a great change...but nearly every single store has an exact or pretty close copy to the Lispy Colour Block dress that Lindsay Lohan wore this summer.

Wow these two always look sooo happy...


Just another picture of the beckhams looking radiant and happy...as always, heading to Mirabelle resturant in Sunset boulevard!
Poor david though, he found out yesterday that his father has suffered from a heart attack, the couple are on their way to London to support him.

Now lets look at someone with style!


Rachel Bilson the fashionista that she is, didn't fail to impress when she attended the P.S Arts Benefit. Looking stunning in a black bejewelled Chanel dress, chain bracelets, sleeked hair and radiantly minimal make up. This is my favourite look of the day!

I know some soldiers in here (where they at, where they at?)


They're at Lax Airport Beyonce! Well one of them at least! Victoria Beckham looked like quiet the military women heading to LAX airport to promote her DVB line in Japan.


Well lets start with the positives, i love all the pieces of clothing that make up Victoria Beckham ensemble, from the black Hermes leather bag, to the DVB aviator sunglasses, to the Balenciaga coat all topped of with an excruciatingly expensive Hermes cap.


Great pieces, BUT put them all together and you've got a walking non talking fashion victim. The girl really needs to lay back a bit and realise life is not a constant magazine editorial.

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale out shopping


To tell you the truth i really don't know why Vanessa Hudgens and crew have become so popular with the masses due to a series of movies aimed at the under 12 age group bracket. Either way, these girls know how to dress.


Vanessa Hudgens is really beginning to perfect the art of casual dressing, favouring loose fitting comfortable clothing accessorised with vintage sunnies, scarfs and flat footwear. While castmate Ashley Tisdale favoured more of a Parisian look with a touch of toughness and..Chanel of course!

Backstage Style Spring 2008: Model Michaela Kocianova


I absolutely adore this Patent Yellow jacket model Michaela Kocianova wore backstage at New York Fashion Week. Yellow is such a fun and bright color, but she makes it look very chic and cool.

Teamed with faded blue skinny jeans, checkered scarf, ballet flats and a Dior Gaucho bag wore a simple look and made it so much cooler!

Mischa Barton you poor thing..


Question: Whats worse than rocking up to an event in the exact same outfit as someone else?


Answer: Rocking up to the same event in the same outfit as Courtney Love!


Mischa Barton and Courtney Love had similar fashion choices when they attended the Marc Jacobs show during New York Fashion Week. Luckily for Mischa Barton, Courtney wore a different color and looked completely out-of-it...and well she pulled it off better as well

Avril Lavigne Birthday at Koi


Although i hate Avril Lavigne, for some reason i really like this outfit she wore to her birthday party at Koi Restaurant. I love the jumpsuit, shiny glitter shoes and those random printed tights.


But i think someone else would have been able to pull of the look ALOT better than this try hard..

All new Sex and the City


How good do these stills from the upcoming Sex and the City movie look? Sarah Jessica Parker aka Carrie Bradshaw is still delivering us with quirky bold fashion choices including this knockout flower donned dress when she runs into a new generation of style wannabes. Can't wait till filming's over...

Vanessa Hudgens deja vu


The more and more i see Vanessa Hudgens the more and more I'm reminded of Lindsay Lohan, especially in this photo. She's really starting to carve out her style niche, but the ballet flats, Balenciaga bag, flowy outfit, wayfarers, her misleading smile and the famous iced coffee, all seem to remind me of one of our favourite it girls back in the day...

Jennifer Lopez taking oversized bags to a whole new level.


Jennifer Lopez has been looking exceptional during her stay in London this week, making Trench Coats, cinched waists and wide brimmed hats her best friends. However, another accessory to pop on the scene was her never ending large croc tote.


This green croc print tote didn't appeal to me at all. It's huge! imagine how annoying it would be to rummage through that bag to find all your bits and pieces. Her outfit has already got a lot going on so maybe she might have done well to keep some things to a minimum.

Nicole Richie: Pregnant and healthy


I'm so pleased to see Nicole Richie pregnant, it's probably the healthiest any of us have ever seen her in a long long time. I love her red bikini in these pictures, they go so well with her skin tone and those glasses are fab!


However Khaki is one of my favourite colors at the moment for some reason, so i gotta give props to the khaki bikini! Also doesn't Nicole look so young without make-up on?

Victoria Beckham at Ugly Betty Costume Fitting


Victoria Beckham looked her usual self as she headed for an Ugly Betty Costume Fitting. Wearing a very coordinated outfit of navy and white, she accessoried with white Louboutin peep-toes, Dvb Style sunglasses and a white Hemes bag. She looks polished but boring as per usual...

Angelina is a classic


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended the advanced screening of Darfur Now, in very appropriate and smart looking outfits, which relate to the seriousness of the movie at hand.


Wearing an off white silk button-down shirt, trendy wide leg pants, and i'm guessing a black YSL handbag, Angelina looked both womenly and classical.

Jennifer Lopez in London: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!


No Offense to all you Jennifer Lopez fans who can't bare a single negative word said about her...but Jennifer Lopez looks like a complete transvestite/drag queen when she went out for an exclusive dinner with Top Shop retail owner in London!


I actually thought for a second that perhaps Jennifer left Marc Anthony and he had no choice but to hire a look-a-like. I'm sure she would have looked beautiful in person, but whoever applied her make up should have her ass sacked!


On a positive note, on arrival in Britian, Jennifer looked like the absolute style queen that she is in a gorgeous wide brimmed hat and a pair of lust-worthy navy long sleeve gloves!!! OMG she just looks fantastic here...


Wendy from Wendy Brandes Jewelry Blog has a great (and highly interesting) post on were to get a pair of lengthy gloves like and her experience with them.
Ok so we've gone through the good, the bad and well the ugly is pretty much just Marc Anthony's jeans...talk about tacky!

Fashion Week Attenders Trend: Lady Like


Lady like dressing will always be in style and for the most part flattering! Many women who attended including fashion guru and Vogue Editor Carine Roitfeld, wore knee length dresses, in pastel shades simply teamed with classic bags and great shades.


The Key: They made the look modern and relevant to this season by teaming 'nice' feminine dresses with chunky, strappy or multi-coloured heels.

Fashion Faux Pas delivered exclusively by Jordon


Glamour Model Jordan aka katie Price, shows us just how tacky it looks to reveal more than you need too. She may be grinning and finding herself quiet sexy in this particular grey dress, but to me, the size looks more like a top on her!


If you insist on having a heavy back straining jug size , maybe invest in larger clothing sizes...at least for the sake of the rest of the world!

Fashion Week Attenders Trend: Quirky Shoes


Footwear had been taken to great extremes on the runways this year, with designers presenting us with the twisted classic, modernist and the outright avant garde.


The days of dainty and pretty heels are still on hold during which we can observe and experiment with man-style lace-ups, classic brogues, shoe booties in sleek and modern whites as well as teaming an ever popular pair of rugged High Tops with floaty little dresses!
Key: Don't try and coordinate the rest of your outfit with a pair of quirky shoes...they're meant to stand out!

Just when i thought it wouldn't catch on...


Well what do you know? Top Hats are on their way to becoming the next must have head gear.


Top hats were seen on a few Fall runways and last month Mary-Kate Olsen was out on the town in a very quirky looking top hat, and just like a lot of items seen on the Olsen Twins, it is fast becoming a trend.


Recently both Liv Tyler and trendy Brit Sienna Miller have topped of their looks with top hats, whilst Pete Doherty has always favoured top hats. Umm...interesting lets just wait and see who else picks on this trend.

Fashion Week Trend: Block Brights


Those who attended various New York Fashion Week runway shows, brought they're sense of style to the shows and in the process set a lot of new trends.


For those who are afraid of incorporating color into their wardrobe, take note from attenders and celebrities such as Diane Kruger, who wore Bright Bright block colored outfits, from sunshine yellow dresses to red hot patent trench coats.


The Key: To prevent it from looking juvenile, let one colour do all the talking and keep
silhouettes simple.

Bright Dresses and even brighter shoes


At the Welcome to L.A bash held for the Beckhams, Eva Longoria stood out in an amazingly bright yellow dress and even brighter green peep-toe heels. She chucked out the old idea of downplaying the accessories, and it worked for her! And now Tori Spelling is donning this very look in a new promotional photo for some reality series of hers, except she wore her bright yellow dress with vivid purple points, and it looks just as fantastic!

My current Shoe Cravings!!


These are just my current two shoes cravings at the moment! The first pair are very very Balenciaga inspired, yet not as extreme! While the seocnd ones, appeal to me because of their rustic look. At $200 each, i'm still contemplating on whether or not to get one...and more importantly which one? What do you guys think?

Did we miss the Memo?


It seems these days that it is fitting to attend high profile events in high designer gear..and well, flip flops.


A couple of weeks back Hayden Panettiere stepped out in a classic Burberry trench coat teamed with a purple Balenciaga bag and comfy flip flops. Soon after it was Zac Efron seen promoting High School Musical 2 in a formal black blazer, white shirt and tie while deciding to skim on the footwear.


Then you've got Jennifer Conolley, who took it one step further at the Toronto Film festival, wearing a chic strapless white dress, along with what seemed to be very orthopedic-looking sandals.


At first the look didn't appeal to me but now it's grown on me and it's kind of an unexpected twist, and not to mention a very comfy one at that!

Hayden Panettiere-59th Primetime Emmy awards


oh I'm not too sure about the dress Hayden Panettiere wore to the Emmy's this year. From the bust up she looks great, natural make-up and her hair pulled back elegantly, but below the chest it's a maternity catastrophe!


Although this loose style may be everywere these days, it's not a very flattering look on most people. But i suppose being a beautiful girl she did justice to this Marc Bouwer dress.

Heidi Klum and Seal at the 2007 Emmy Awards


Heidi Klum was another stand out at the 59th annual Prime time Emmy Awards. Wearing a divine wine colored dress, red hot lips and elegant jewelry, she looked extremely classic and classy for that matter...and how nice of Seal to let Heidi soak up the spotlight by wearing a complimentary yet understated suit :)

Katherine Heigl Emmy awards


Grey's Anatomy star, Katherine Heigl looked exceptional at the Emmy Awards this year. Wearing a very white floor dress along with loads of jewels by Ryan Ryan, Katherine picked up the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the smash hit show, and what better way to accept your award then in a body hugging Zac Posen dress?

Hayden Panettiere at Pre-Emmy's Hereos Bash

I absolutely love this purple dress Hayden Panettiere wore to the Pre-Emmy's Hereos Bash. Her skin tone really sets off this stunning purple dress, and she is looking really fresh faced alongside her new castmate, Kristen Bell... i am just in ore of this color...

Balenciaga Bags Still Going Strong


As we all know, Balenciaga Motorcycle bags became the 'it' bag to have Circa 2004, and like many 'it' bags, they were quickly seen on the shoulders on many starlets and just as quickly popped back on in their wardrobes alongside the once lusted for Marc Jacobs Stam and Chloe Paddington.

However, unlike the future of many over-exposed bags, Balenciaga is having it's revival. Miss Nicole Richie dusted hers off again this year, along with Mary-Kate as seen in an earlier post and now our new generation of stylish young stars such as Heroes', Hayden Panettiere and High School Musical's, Vanessa Hudgens have caught on.


Hopefully this means that the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag will become a classic*Fingers Crossed*

The Miss Matchy-Matchy award goes too...



VICTORIA BECKHAM!! Although i love her, posh seems to be getting more and more matching with her outfits by the day. Although this is a fail proof way of making sure your outfit is pulled together, girl just needs to let herself go a bit wild and see what happens...unexpected accessories can make an outfit much more striking than constant coordination!


Emmy Rose in Prada Sunglasses


ah ha! i knew these sunglasses that actress Emmy Rose was sporting yesterday looked familiar! Emmy Rose donned a pair of chic Prada SPR O4H sunglasses, which were also seen on the like of fashionista Ashley Olsen earlier this year. Ashley opted for tortoise shell, while Emmy wore the black pair which encorporate a striking prada logo on the temples of the sunglasses. Both girls opted to pair they're sunglasses with black jeans and white tops.
These Prada sunglasses can be bought online at Authentic designer sunglass retailer Otticanet for approximately US $180 to US $198 depending on colour.

Morphing into Victoria Beckham



UK Big Brother's Chanelle Hayes is still adament on becoming Victoria beckham aka Posh Spice. Chanelle has admitted that Victoria is her Icon, and has been known for her look-a-like Victoria Beckham outfits...and her style copy-cat ways haven't stopped.


Looks i'm loving!




Just a few celebs out and about with looks that have attracted my attention!

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Jessica Simpson looking Fabulous


HOT DAMN! Jessica Simpson looks mighty fine in this simple yet sexy dress cinched in with a wide black belt.


Her body looks great and i am really into these strap-happy shoes that i have been seeing lately and i might have to steal that bag in order to curb my cravings for a new Snake skin Print bag...if anyone comes across any nice snake skin print bags on the net for an AFFORDABLE price...let me know...

Front Row Style


Fashion week obviously includes very fashionable people from designers, to celebrities to models. These three looks are very distinct from each other but all equally fabulous!


Kelly Klien went for a very casual, almost Kate Moss-ish look, with a simple white tank, black vest, grey shorts and one of my all time favourite bags, a Balenciaga Motorcycle bag!


Actress and Covergirl Molly Sims, showed us how easy it is to turn a flashy bronze evening dress into a very easy to wear day time dress by simply throwing on a understated grey cardi.


And lastly, model Coco Rocha went all out in a man style suit complete with the quirky twist of nerdy glasses...very cool Coco

Badgley Mischka Backstage Look


OMG how much do you love this look? Model Fabiana Semprebom rocked some pretty groovy two-toned shades backstage at Badgley Mischka, way to funk out an outfit, there absolutely superb!


Not only that, but that oversized clutch is so visually appealing with the black and white giving it such graphic impact. Love the dress and the hot pink lips too... and it does help when the model is gorgeous!

Herve Leger Dresses


Ever since the day Lindsay Lohan turned up to the Maxim top 100 party earlier this year in a multicolored Herve Leger hugging dress, Herve Leger's dresses may have just become the "it" item to have in the celebrity world.


Since Lindsay's appearance, celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Sophia Bush and Melanie B have rocked out in his designs. Songstress Ciara even wrapped her body up in a purple and grey dress by the designer for one of her film clips, with the exact same dress later seen on Victoria Beckham at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 show.


Although these dresses are great, the problem with "it" items is that they quickly become the "not it" item...

Carine Roitfeld's Oversized Sunglasses


Paris Vogue's, Carine Roitfeld, is one of the few women who can pull off gigantic (and i mean gigantic) sunglasses with ease. She wore her gradient shaded sunglasses to a few of the runway shoes this season, and introduced them to the world of fashion last season. Suprisingly she looks chic rather than blow-fly and thats hard to get away with!


I really love Carine, she has a beautiful aura around her, always smiling and looking down-to-earth even with all her success.

Jennifer Lopez Justsweet Show


I understand that Jennifer Lopez has some interesting fashion choices and a lot of them i love, but i really am not like this apple green dress Jennifer Lopez wore to her label Justsweet runway show. The color is lovely but the cut is terrible showing off her VPL-Visible Panty Line.


But what i really love, is her rock edge studded shoes! These divine shoes are from the Fall 2007 Burberry Prosum collection and i have been lusting for them ever since i posted about them in June, hoping that retailers would pick up on the look, but so far am i am sadly disappointed..


Anyways, she changed into a pair of Balenciaga inspired robotic shoes for her walk down the runway that personally don't go with her overall look.

Katie Holmes frolicking around Paris


I seem to be becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Katie Holmes these days. Her style is so much more grown up and sophisticated, and she's just a class act. She knows how to dress well, looks natural and is a sweetie taking photos with her fans, herself!


But i really think that Katie Holmes may need to eat a bit more spinach, because the girl needs to one arm to hold the other arm up...surely the camera cannot be that heavy, can it?

Kate Bosworth Shoes


Kate Bosworth attended the Toronto Film Festival dressed wonderfully as always...but what i loved most was her shoes!!!


The navy shoes that adorned her feet contrasted perfectly with her pink Preen mini dress, and at closer inspection, i discovered they were in fact Stella McCartney Satin and Patent Platform Pumps...and they're divine...oh she's one lucky girl that's all i can say...

Intimately Beckham Night

The Beckham's have a new fragrance called Intimately Beckham Night, but why do these two always see the need to exploit their relationship and prove to us that they do in fact have a sex life...stop it already...it's torturous seeing David Beckham intimate with someone else when you've got a massive crush on him!!

Zac Posen Resort Dress: Who wore it better?


Cate Blanchett attended the Toronto Film Festival dressed in a pink, red and black block colored dress from the Zac Posen resort collection. This dress was also seen on model Magdalena Frackowiak at the resort show.



Who wore it better : Cate Blanchett or the model?

Stars at the VMA's


The MTV VMA's is a night for stars to parade around in fun and quirky outfits and that's exactly what some stars did.


Nelly Furtado rocked out in a black satin jumpsuit/corset/wide leg pant...i don't know quiet what it is...but I'm not feeling it, she paired it with a lot of silver layered jewelry and Yves Saint Laurent Red Tribute Pumps.

Paris Hilton turned up to the VMA's in a loud Leopard Print Dolce and Gabanna corset dress. with a dress like this i would expect long sexy hair whisking around and a hint of naughtiness- sex-kitten style, but Paris seems to have held back and tried to go for a lady-like look. But i think the make-up and jewelry clash with the outrageous dress.

Rihanna looked absolutely striking in a hot pink body hugging dress paired with funky hair and studded shoes.

Other's who turned up. Melanie B from the Spice Girls (in a Herve Leger dress mind you)...and Miss Teen South Carolina...ummm...WTF??

Victoria Beckham at Oscar De La Renta Spring 2008


After being in hiding for a couple of weeks, Victoria re-emerged as her same old self at the Oscar De La Renta Spring 2008 show. Unlike other stars who turned up with fresh looks and a bit more daring, Victoria Beckham wore the usual combination of mini dresses, sky high pumps, round over sized sunglasses and her baked-tan-in-a-can-look.
The green shade of her Oscar De La Renta Fall 2007 dress is lovely, but if your going to wear this look on a regular basis, at least put some effort in to spruce up your look a bit on special occassions. Well at least her peep toe shoes were exciting, they didn't give one peep but two..

Tom Ford Reigns on Celebrity Sunglass Parade


Just a few of my current favourite designer sunglasses that some of our most exposed celebrities have been seen wearing.


1) Paris Hilton: D&G d&g 6022b sunglasses

2) Nicole Richie: Tom Ford Anouk sunglasses

3) Rachel Bilson: Tom Ford Buckley sunglasses

4) Mischa Barton: Tom Ford Margaux Metal frame sunglasses

5) Ashley Olsen: Tom Ford Hawkings detachable sunglasses

6) Victoria Beckham: Gucci 2591s Buckle side sunglasses


And with a 4/6 domination, it is clear that Tom Ford sunglasses are the winning celebrity eye wear source. The pics just show a few sites online were you can purchase or view any of these sunglasses.

Favourite Looks: Abaete Spring 2008


This collection brought with it a new take on the summer bohemian, a much more tailored one. Crisp whites and soft color blocking lent a hand in bringing a spring vibe to tailored wide legs, high waists and tailored shirt dresses. The Abaete collection exudes light feminine dressing classing with thoughtful structure.

Favourite Looks: Bill Blass


Bill Blass presented nothing more than traditionally styled feminine dresses. Although many were beautifully wearable without any need for watering down, nothing revolutionary really emerged from this collection. Except for the knee length black dress with a puffed hemline, but then again, volume has been around for a while now...

Favourite Looks: Cynthia Rowley Spring 2008


Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2008 collection kept to the pastel side of colors, with many looks contrasting with the darker shades of Fall. The collection showcased sporty, looser layering even when it came to suits which are traditionally known for their tailoring and precise fit. Cynthia Rowley's collection makes silks and satins flattering through loose structure femininely cinched at the waist line.

Oslo Stil girls and bright tights


Oslo style as seen through the lens of Oslostil photographers seems to be quiet kooky and fun. A trend that has emerged off the runways and onto the streets over the past few months is none other than bright coloured leggings!


The closest i have got to colored leggings, is well gray tights...perhaps its a fear of them attracting too much attention or because i haven't found a way to incorporate them properly into my outfits, either way these girls from Oslostil serve as great inspiration.

Sienna Miller at Twenty8twelve Launch


Sienna Miller rocked up to the launch party of her new clothing line twenty8twelve at Lonsdale Restaurant in London looking ever so chic.


I am a sucker for classic minimalist and Sienna Miller was just that pairing black leggings, and a billowing crisp white shirt that cinches in at the waist. She glammed the look up for night wear with sky-high platform wedges and large gold hoop earrings.


Only problem? She turned up wasted to her own event and tried to punch out a photographer while making her way in...not cool Sienna

Fergie for Kiplings handbags


Fergie lunched her new line of handbags this week at Macy's under the name 'Fergie for Kiplings', and to tell you the truth, I'm not particularly fond of them. Just the usual hobos, messengers and shoulder bags in blinding bright colors. Oh and don't forget the black shoulder bag with hot pink lips printed all over it, that reminds me of a toiletries bag i had when i was young.


Nevertheless, products with celebrity named attached always seem to have a line of fans waiting for a piece of that celebrity pie.

Lil Kim Style


Rapper, ex-jail bird and Pussycat Doll Search Judge Lil Kim has taught us a few key style rules over the years, on how not to dress.


Although some may applaud her for her individuality and body confidence, i cannot help but puke in my mouth a bit every time i see her. From the make-up factory on her face, to the constant flashing of her private parts, i find it hard to extract a shred of womanly elegance or class from her surgically enhanced body.


Just a few pics of classic Lil Kim outfits over the years...

Britney Spears and Allie Sims matching bags...not so cute


Britney Spears obviously got her fashion inspiration from Angelina and Zahara this week when she was spotted two days in a row shopping and nightclub hopping with her current best friend/cousin/fake cousin Allie Sims, with matching handbags.


Both Britney and Allie were seen around toting the current season white Versace 'Quilted Snap out of it' bag. A designer bag is a fashion statement as it is, but matching at adulthood is...well...kinda tacky, attention seeking and looks like it was strategically planned.


This ain't no coincidence and poor Versace should just stop further productions of this bag, because being seen on Britney and Co just killed it's lust-factor...but IF you still love it, you can purchase this bag on eLuxury for $1900.

Lauren Conrad French Connection Dress


The good thing about being in a different seasonal zone to the rest of the world is that us Aussie girls, can watch all the styles and trends that emerge from the runways and onto celebrities to see which looks work and which to avoid, and Lauren Conrad's dress is something we would definitely adopt.


Seen here wearing a French Connection "Block Party" dress, quilted Chanel Handbag, metallic sandals and oversized sunnies, Lauren looks pulled together casual.


If you like the dress you can purchase it online on the French Connection website for AUD $129, which is a pretty good price.

Ohhhh Too cute: Angelina and Zahara Matching bags!


Angelina Jolie and two year old daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt were spotted out around town with matching handbags!


Not just any handbag mind you, they were both toting around a covetable white Valentino Braided Leather shoulder bag. Only difference between the two? Zahara had a divine mini version...too cute!!!


Some of us may never own a designer Valentino bag, but this just goes to show you the perks of being a Jolie-Pitt.

Nicole Richie Maternity Style


Nicole Richie's style doesn't seem to be slowing down since her pregnancy. Arriving at LAX airport, Nicole shows us how to work casual cool. Wearing a simple white tank, black leggings and flip flops, Nicole accessories with a bright red Missoni scarf, Tom Ford Anouk sunglasses and her season favourite Givenchy Nightingale Bag.


Nicole is really looking happier and a lot fresher, lets hope this continues in the future for this mother to be :)

Kate Moss Man Style dressing


I keep getting bombarded lately with a lot of Man Style looks appearing on the runways, in editorials and on our favourite celebs...and who better to get style cues from than Miss Kate Moss?


Seen here wearing a simple black outfit topped up with a tailored grey blazer, two loosely done up ties all topped off with a discreet black fedora. She retained the element of femininity by choosing a floral and bright purple tie, a thick cuff bracelet and toting a Chloe handbag.

Gwen Stefani and Family


Gwen Stefani kicked off New York Fashion week with her designer label L.A.M.B, her designs may be great, but nothing can top how great baby Kingston looks in his L.A.M.B white hoodie. This kid is going to be a hottie (not surprising though with Gavin as daddy)!!


Gwen looked great wearing a 60's mod white and black jacquard print dress and keeping to her signature look of platinum blonde hair and bright red lips....oh and did i mention killer Legs?

Hooters Bikini Pagent


Ok a Hooters Pagent may not be the best place to draw fashion inspiration from, but this is hardly about fashion. When i came across these photos one particular girl stood out among the rest of the feminine, curvy and health looking women.


Wearing an itsy bitsy red bikini, this girl looks starved! I know they're are naturally really thin girls out there but i can't imagine your ribs sticking out constantly being too healthy, but I'm not going to bag on this pageant seeing that they do promote a healthier more womanly figure.

Kate Bosworth Man Style Dressing done right!


Actress Kate Bosworth as we all know, has been a regular fashion show attender over the years, and every year she always manages to pull off (the hard to pull off) Man Style Look.


Wearing a slicked back hair, a tailored white Balenciaga Blazer, crisp white shirt and slim leg pants, Miss Bosworth attended the Rag and Bone Fashion show looking sharp and refined, almost as if she were tailor made for this style.

Trend: Chain Strap dresses'


Chain straps have been a popular detail on many designer bags throughout the season's with designers such as Marc Jacobs and Dolce and Gabanna favouring the Rock Chick effect it brings to any bag. However both Mischa Barton and Jessica Alba have been seen at Fashion Rocks this week wearing dresses with chain straps!


As a huge fan of chain detailing, i may be bias in saying that i love this concept, but i can't imagine it being particularly comfortable digging into your back. Either way it looks great on both these ladies.

Mario Testino's book "Let Me In"


Aclaimed Fashion photographer Mario Testino has come out with a fabulous pictorial book.


This book has images of some of our favourtie celebs such as Ashton Kutcher, claudia Schiffer, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman captured in their rawest and natural state.


I Particulary love the one with Jennifer Lopez and her husband, very natural, very sweet!

Carrie Underwood Style


Carrie Underwood attended both Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B runway show and Fashion Rocks event this week wearing two very different outfits.


At L.A.M.B wore a preppy mustard and black striped cardigan, shirt black skirt and strappy heels. This look was seemed a bit bla and a bit middle school to me but then today she stepped out at the Fashion Rocks event in a mini white Key hole dress with fringe style detailing...and looked fabulous! Fashion really does rock when you dress like that!

Demi Moore is a style queen


I hope to be half as stylish or as good looking as Demi Moore when I'm 44! Demi attended various fashion event throughout the week, including New York Fashion Week,

were she sat front row alongside Hilary Swank wearing some swanky black glasses of course.

Diane Kruger in Venice


The Venice Film festival has been showcasing beautiful women in beautiful gowns all week, and German actor Diane Kruger is no exception. Keeping it classic and elegant in a sequined white and silver chiffon gown for night, whilst keeping it chic during the day with a head-to-peep toe black ensemble. She highlights the fact that classic is always best!

Keira Knightley Atonement outfits


Keira Knightley may be a fashion icon off screen, but her latest film Atonement brings back old world glamour and lady-like refinement, with floral dresses, high waists skirts, feminine blouses and the all classic trench. Can't wait to watch it and be inspired.

Kiera Knightley in a Rodarte dress


Kiera Knightley looked like a goddess today at the Venice Film Festival. Wearing a Fall 2007 Rodarte Dress, Kiera looked mighty thin. Ok we know she's thin, but she's really giving runway model, Jessica Stam, a run for her money.


And why are you sucking in your cheeks Kiera? You don't look fat, we promise!!

Man Style Dressing by Tabitha Simmons!


Vogue's Tabitha Simmons gives us a few tips on how to pull of the Man Style look without actually being confused for man.


Tip 1) Fedora's and paper boy hats with a girly twist such as in pastel colors or ribbon


Tip 2) Keep to the classic colors of white, black, brown and grey, but add elements of color with things such as a pair of bright colored striped socks like model Agyness Dean.


Tip 3) Chunky Jewelry in the form of chains or thick leather rings


Tip 4) Loose man style pants with a delicately beaded top will add that feminine touch


Tip 5) High heels are VITAL! exaggerated heels, futuristic shapes, graphic contrast heels such as pinks with purple, wedges and platforms all work.


Tip 6) Own an over sized man style watch


As well thin belts, suspenders, rich colors like plum add femininity, white shirts, cute laces, jewelry and pocket handkerchiefs help balance the look.

Maggie Gyllenhaal for Agent Provocatuer


Maggie Gyllenhall has replaced Kate Moss as the new face of Agent Provocatuer lingere. Conjsidering it is very hard to beat supermodel Kate Moss at pretty much anything to do with looking good, Maggie really pulls off this old glamour tone that the campaign has put in place.


I think these three photos from the campaign are very womenly and alluring to both men and women alike. Except there is one photo of Maggie on a chair that looks really quiet freaky and not in a good way...


It's no suprise Agent Provocatuer did not renew Kate Moss' contract with her private/public life with Mr Doherty overshadowing her career.

The Hayden Panettiere Dream

Hayden Panettiere's semi-conscious dream of becoming the next teen style icon is on the way.

At LAX airport, Hayden was seen wearing a comfortable yet high end outfit. Seen here in a Burberry trench coat, bright purple Balenciaga Motorcycle bag, white wayfarer sunglasses and Flip Flops!! Unusual yet fresh combination. What will this Hereo's stylish future look like?

My new Handbag


Today i went to the shops to complain about a wallet i bought less than a month ago and is already falling apart. Anyways, they were nice enough to let me exchange it without a receipt, So instead of another wallet, i selected this bag to replace it with.


It's by a brand called Chinese Laundry, which i have never heard of before because i think their new to Australia, but apparently they've been featured in many magazines and Jessica Alba and Rihanna are fans....


Well never mind that, i really liked the chain detail on the bag it kind of reminded me of Dolce and Gabanna because of the chain details and animal print all in one bag. It's a good size just to do errands and things, and the interior is bright purple!

Charlize Theron is on a roll


Once again Charlize Theron has stepped out in Venice looking super stylish. She is currently attending the on goings of the Venice film Festival. I am really loving this casual yet chic navy Vest dress paired with skinny pants, black shades and a ever so feminine hairband. But i think she might have forgot to put on her bra...

Elsa Pataky in Roberto Cavalli


Adrien Brody's girlfriend Elsa Pataky attended the Venice Film Festival yesterday, in a stunning Roberto Cavalli Gown.
This peachy colored halter gown with croc waist belt detailing, was on the Roberto Cavalli fall runway in a striking midnight blue color, but i prefer Elsa's look a lot better and by the smug look on Adrien's face he seems more than impressed!

Angelina Jolie's Brand New Bvlgari Sunglasses


It seems Angelina Jolie has given her Dolce and Gabbana DG 6035 sunglasses a well needed rest this week. Angelina and Co, are currently in Venice attending the Venice Film Festival held throughout the week and she is sporting some seriously classy shades.

Her new sunglasses are Bvlgari BV 862 in Havana/brown. This particular model also comes in six distinct colors, from classic black to light grey.

If Christian Dior made me pick...


If Christian Dior shouted me a couple of pair of shoes and and jewelry then this is what i would pick at the moment. I love both the feather ring and silver tone flower ring. Both made from silver tone metal and with Swarovski encrusted crystals. The really do create an impact.


Whilst the Camel My Dior sandal is the perfect shoe for summer and the color and heel are classic style. I am also a big fan or chunky wedges shoes and these Dior wedges from the cannage collection are dramatic in the most discreet kind of way. They give height as well as a solid walking ground.

Celebrities Old Fat and Gender Confused?


I love these celebrity pictures that have obviously been photo shopped in order give us a little bit of insight into the way in which these celebs will look if they put on a couple of pounds, added on a couple of years or perhaps changed their gender.


For some reason, i can imagine Fergie and Madonna looking like that in 20 years and the Nicole Richie one is perfect. I can't really tell the difference between Michael Jackson in the photo and at his present state. And doesn't Paris Hilton make a good man?

Runway to Real Way: Street Ready outfits!


I love when designers put together the most bizarre and impractical outfits together on the runway as they showcase a dramatic outfits in a very theatrically enticing manner. But what i love more is when designers, put together outfits that are wearable and easily adapted to everyday, while clearly establishing the trends of Fall 2007.


These are a few outfits that i think would really work for everyday and also some that showcase a few new trends.

1) The 3.1 Phillip Lim plaid coat is an stylish grown up way to keep on trend, whilst the whole outfit is put together in a stylishly comfortable way.

2) I love the edginess of this Proenza Schouler outfit. It looks sharp, but the slouchy pants make it very laid back.

3) The Costello Tagliapietra dress brings on an architectural look, but in reality much lighter.

4) A Burberry Trench coat...need i say more? Ok, maybe just a little about the long black patent gloves which will keep you warm for winter and also look elegant for many winters to come.

5) A leather jacket such as the 3.1 Phillip Lim Jacket is a wardrobe essential, especially considering the quality and the way in which it brings on a touch rock-chick look to any outfit. Not a fan of leather? Some designers such as Stella McCartney make ones in Vinyl and PVC to keep them stylish yet animal friendly :)

6 & 7) Michael Kors Fall 2007 collection showed us the way to wear a perfect work outfit. Either man style with wide leg trousers or sexy and lady like with a cinched in waist, skirt and 60's icon style sunglasses. Key to the look: Sleek hair and muted colours to avoid looking to manly or kiddish.

8) Love the random splash of color at Gucci which also showcased a lot of trends flowing into fall and winter. Patent gloves, ankle boots, skinny pants, grey and red hot lips!

Naomi Campbell wearing DVB sunglasses

Fellow Britanian and world renowned supermodel Naomi Campbell is another celebrity sporting Victoria and David Beckham's brand of DVB Style sunglasses.


First it was Posh, Jennifer Lopez and David sporting them, but now it seems that Miss Madhouse Naomi Campbell is wearing them too.

It surprising to me that she's even wearing them considering the public fall out between Naomi and Victoria a couple of years back when Naomi asked Victoria "Why do they call you posh?" and Victoria snapped back "Why do they call you beautiful?" Ouch talk about defensive!

Anyways they look good, but it's a shame that she had to go wreck the look with that obvious weave on her head!!

If you love these uniquely stylish 60's inspired candy striped (DvB 2) sunglasses, you can purchase them online at Shop Intuition for $280 a pop.

Raunchy Rihanna


Rihanna really seems to be living up to her album title "good girl gone bad", with images of her becoming more and more revealing by the minute. Her she is in a photo published in Atlanta Peach magazine, showing off her new hair-do and scanscrit tattoo.


I think they must be cutting rihanna's pay because she obviously can't afford clothes at this present time in her life....oh the things you have to do to be a star these days...

Balenciaga bags making a comeback


It seems that the once coveted Balenciaga Motorcycle bag is making a comeback. The girl that started the craze, Miss Nicole Richie was spotted a couple of month's back wearing one of her many Balenciaga bags out and about. Now Hayden Panettiere and Mary-Kate Olsen have scrambled through their wardrobes and dusted off an old favourite.


It's no wonder these bags are so loved, their quintessential Balenciaga, young and excude a very rock chick vibe, although Hayden opted to wear her purple Motorcycle bag in a more lady like way!

Charlize Theron Venice Film Festival


Charlize Theron looked absolutely radiant while attending the Venice Film festival yesterday. She really knows how to adapt her style from day to night, starting with a mini white lace dress, nude heels and Versace sunglasses. For night she wore a stand out gold gown with tulle layers, that has been referred to as a feather duster. She brings a certain elegance and sophistication to every event she attends.

Nicole Richie goes out to get a juice!


Nicole Richie is on a role these days, bringing out one spectacular outfit after another. Although she's always been known as a fashion icon, her maternity wardrobe is really raising the fashion bar for many pregnant women.


Nicole went out yesterday with a friend to stop at Jamba juices and, well, get a juice! She wore this season's hottest trend, a maxi dress embellished with diagonally colored stripes. She was also carring a Givenchy Nightingale Bag which i posted about a while back. Casual yet chic!
