This week has been marvelous, i got a new phone (finally one that works!) that also happens to be a brand spankin' new iphone, which sweetens the deal rather, and i've spent a few giddy days learning how to use it, loading it up with facebook, twitter and blogger applications, and getting ready to wave goodbye to my already non-existent social life. I also started uni again (boo) but have cleaned out my room (yay!) which means that although my educational world is a bit of a mess, my spiritual space is rather tidy. All this has nothing to do, of course, with what has been going on in the world of celebs this week, namely, premieres, openings, attendances and, of course, that most lovely of papparazzi photos, the candid.
Sienna Miller
justjared
Ah Sienna, i do love you a great deal. Though you may not be a great actress (in my opinion), you are lovely to look at, and isn't that all that matters! This outfit coincides perfectly with my current penchant for luxe minimalism, the slouchy grey sleeveless singlet, the loose tapered high waisted black pants and the opulent bottle green stilettos with bauble are a perfect match of colour, proportion and silhouette. I also love the scarf she's wrapped jauntily around her neck, completely redundant of course, if she really was cold she should put a jacket around her bare arms, but it does look nice, all the same. And who could not love that radiant golden hair!
Mary-Kate Olsen
tfs
As i search for the perfect pair of harem pants to complete my capsule summer wardrobe (still um=ing and ah-ing over the topshop ones although i'll likely take the plunge when my next paycheque comes through) this is great inspiration. I love it when MK doesn't do her grunge and 90s look and goes more for the streamlined, sleek chic of her sister. I love the kaftan-y type top paired with the grey slouchy harem pants and the ballet flats. She is perfectly dressed for a trip to the shops, comfortable and yet easy to remove when trying on clothes. This is the exact outfit i envisage harem pants forming in my wardrobe when i buy them, in fact, let's do it, i'm off to topshop.com to purchase a pair right now! (thanks MK)
Diane Kruger
Another casual outfit done perfectly, i love the pairing of that rich royal blue with the summery yellow, and then both of those against her golden skin tone. She is the master of dressing, truly, her style is original and quirky and very, very chic. Her statement necklace is also simply amazing, i have been looking for one similar to that with the 'leaf' or cascading effect (know what i mean?) for ages. And, of course, a chanel 2.55 slung over her body. Oh how hard it must be to be beautiful, wealthy and the muse of Karl Lagerfeld. *sigh*
Lily Allen
celebutopia
Speaking of muses to Karl Lagerfeld... How far has Lily come! although i loved her brazen prom dress with trainers look of her early teens i do love the woman that Lily has matured into (weird to think that she is only 4 years older than me!) I love the pop of the blue suede shoes (hehe) against the black outfit. I love the fit of this suit, it fits her like a glove, and i also like the sexy elements - the brassiere, and the suspender bits that are hanging down over the pants... It gives what is an otherwise business like look a very, well, french twist. Ooh La la. Also all that lovely jewelry Lily designed herself, a girl of many talents, apparently.
Unknown, maybe Joanna Coles? from the Sartorialist
Now this is what i mean by a long dress or skirt... Not your fliffy flaffy church types, not matronly, not boring, but sleek, chic and very very sexy. This dress is incredible, i love the way it is cinched in at the waist and then poufs out at either sides, acheivable only with a very small waist unfortunately, i love the ruffles at the high collar (very elizabethan luxe), i love the full folds of the skirt that fall down from the waist like doric columns, i love that rich teal colour, half way between blue and green but all beauty... I mean, what's not to love. I know she's not strictly a celebrity (technically i don't even know who she is!), but i couldn't not post this picture from the sartorialist a couple of days ago. All woman. All class.
