Celeb spotting: Casually Cool

I've replaced the usual on sale on Sunday with Celeb spotting. This will be a place i post the outfits celebs have been wearing this week that i love and also any trends that i notice popping up. I hope no one is too upset with this replacing on sale Sunday. I was really enjoying doing it but i noticed alot of the time the items i posted about sole out fairly quick and then i'd feel bad recommeding them!

This week i've spotted the art of looking stylish whilst wearing casual pants and hoodies is in full force in the land of celeb!

Hilary Duff in Free city sweat pants



Ashley Tisdale in Monrow hoodie



Ashley Tisdale again! this time in free city pants




Onto some other outfits from this week:

Vanessa has mastered the art of looking effortlessly cool and i'm lusting after that Balenciaga part time bag!




Kristin Cavallari has been spotted out and about in this striped tee and these Jimmy Choo Nixon suede platform sandals!



Nicky Hilton rocks this Rodarte for Target Leopard-Print Dress. Wish i could pull of animal prints!



More animal prints, this time Kim K in a this lovely scarf. I think Kim looks better like this than all glammed up. Plus i love that Hermes birkin bag!



I'm not that keen on this dress that Paris Hilton wore especially since she teamed it with tights!




Lastly Nicole Richie looks amazing in this Giles Deacon Bustier Dress for the Marie Claire photoshoot.



What did everyone think of this post? I hope you liked it and if you did then expect more next Sunday :)

Review: Lovely Lipsy!

I’ve been sent this fabulous Lipsy bow necklace from the wonderful people at Glam Boutique



It came in this super cute pink packing which I think is adorable!



This necklace is a real statement maker and is surprisingly light yet robust. The way the bow is attached on the chain (at the top and bottom) means I wasn’t constantly fiddling with it as the bow didn’t move at all or get tangled up in my clothes. The bow is fairly big and has little diamonds on the gold bits which catch the light beautifully – it got me lots of compliments too!


The chain it is set on is sturdy but delicate looking and is gold plated, plus it doesn’t hang too low. This bow necklace is currently on sale from £14.00 to just £11.20

Glam boutique stock all the popular brands such as Rare, Forever Unique and of course Lipsy! Plus they deliver outside the UK for just £9.99 for Europe and £15.99 for international. Contact them for more details.

Trend Tracker : Metallic Tights

i'm not a tights person to be honest so adore these new metalics ones that are a cross between leggings and tights!

Here they are on the BCBG runway:
And here at Vivienne Tam
Mary J is bang on trend with hers:
Trend Tips
* If you choose a super bright type then keep the rest of your outfit fairly low key:
* Dont like tights? choose leggings to get the look:
* If your petite then wear with a heel to dlim your legs as metallics are stunting:
* For the less daring, try some patterned light metalics.

Sorry about such a short post but i'm suffering with a migraine today!
