FAB FASHION BUYS – Wardrobe Wonder: White Blazer

Monday, 24 May, 2010

There is no easier way to update your wardrobe this season then with a simple white blazer. As seen on our favourite celebrities, Sarah Jessica Parker shows off the romance trend pairing hers with a delicate lace Stella McCartney dress. Kim Kardashian and Kelly Osbourne use theirs to smarten up short hem lines. Whilst Whitney Port has an edgier look in an oversize boy blazer.

The trend for the blazer has continued following a surge in popularity last season, the look has been updated to complement the pre-dominantly pastel palette. Throw it over an evening dress/floral summer frock or even just a pair of jeans for a high fashion look. Where can you find the trend? Peruse the spring summer collections over at Stella McCartney, Chloe and Jil Sander for inspiration.

No need to scour the shops for the best pick, there is a solution whatever your budget.

If you are feeling flush with the cash go for the original Stella McCartney’s raw silk blazer £1,125 at Net-a-porter.com.

A great mid-price option comes from the Olsen twins range Elizabeth and James. Their label is swiftly getting a name for it’s divine tailoring. This wool blend tuxedo jacket £390 also from Net-a-porter.com is a great option.

Finally head to the high streets there is no shortage of versions hanging about. We love this white tipped collar jacket £65 from Wallis.

FAB FASHION BUYS – Kate Moss for Topshop

Thursday, 20 May, 2010
TopShop Knightsbridge - Store Launch Party - Arrivals

Summer is here which means another season and another great collection from Kate Moss for Topshop. The model/singer/business women extraordinaire has come up trumps again with another fabulous collection that will see us through the summer in style.

So the collection itself is quintessentially Kate. Filled with a mixture of floaty maxi dresses, vintage 70s style mini dresses and itsy bitsy bum cheek baring shorts. Ok so its not all for everyone but no-one can go wrong with one of Kate’s maxi dresses whether your wearing it on beach in St Tropez or teamed with Hunter wellies at Glastonbury. We love the vintage floral maxi dress below coming in at £100.

If you fancy yourself a quirky little Kate accessory (she is the master of these after all) why not try out her little feather cape £75. Ok it is abit out there but try it on with a sexy evening shift dress and you will instantly transform your outfit into something suitable for an all-nighter at the Groucho.

My favourite part of Kate’s collections has always been the little summer dresses. I still have my floral print tea dress from her very first collection and I’ve been wearing it every summer. This season the little lace angel sleeve dress £70 is the classic dress to covet.

The launch of the collection coincided with the opening of Topshop’s brand new Brompton road store smack bang in the middle of Knightsbridge. So how to celebrate these fashion fabulous events….a celebrity filled party of course.

The opening of the new store saw Kate Moss arrive looking chic in a blazer from her new collection with a silk jumpsuit and Louboutin stilettos alongside BFF Phillip Green. Also in attendance the British brat pack in the form of Jaime Winstone and Daisy Lowe. The big surprise of the evening however was an appearance from Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of American Vogue.
