Celebrity’s style: Jessica Alba walking with husband Cash and daughter Honor

anna — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 20:52:53 +0000

With this post I open a new direction. I’ll take a picture of some celebrity and try to find some friendly priced items she wears. This time take a look at Jessica Alba, I love her casual style, it’s always so nicely simple and charming. I like how she adds accessories and combines colours and styles.

Here she is walking with her adorable daughter Honor and husband Cash Warren. She opted for simple skinny jeans and comfy t-shirt, added black jersey jacket and brought some nice details as scarf and necklace. Everything together looks so relaxed!

I searched for similar items and created this look just for $149.85!

Shoes — dsw-store, $39.95.

Lanvin vs Topshop

anna — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 08:21:42 +0000

Do you remember this leopard Lanvin dress? This Spring-Summer season it was one of the most wanted :) At the runway show you could see this mini version:

This dress is almost sold out everywhere, the only place where you can buy it is Matches:

However, just yesterday I’ve found in Topshop not a dress, but a very beautiful top in Lanvin style. You can try it with leggings or mini skirt, to get wild and sexy look :)

You could see this dress at least five times! Maggie Gyllenhaal was wearing long version, while Bibiana Fernández and Charlotte Collard look very sexy in their mini version:

While Lisa Airan and Aerin Lauder decorate their outfit with a black belt:

High fashion is your wild passion :)

This is one of my favourite posts, I call it “Spective”. Either Retro- or AnimalSpective, today is about SkullSpective :) to frighten sticky guys at the party :)
I must say I love graphic tees, and skulls always look interesting and attracting, the last is mostly important :) There is a skull tees set you can try this summer :)
Alexander McQueen is a skull master in some sense: this tank is available at Farfetch, while at Topshop you can find not less attractive one:

Next white tees are by McQueen and dELiAs. Meadow skull tee ($475) is available at Zapos, bird skull tee ($375) — at Farfetch. However, at dELiAs you can find very similar one for much less money, Garden Skull by dELiAs:)

At dELiAS you can also find very funny skull tees: Stars Skull and Sunglasses Skull

Asos also offers quite nice skull print tanks: Floral Skull and Rock Skull. At Net-a-Porter I’ve also found Markus Lupfer Flower Skull sweater, whose flower “face” is very-very similar to Asos one! :) Compare:

When I found this nice rectangle top at Barneys I was like “hmm, great for summer evening with jeans… but too expensive”. Sheer cotton blend three-quarter sleeve top with squared neckline and side vents. Ribbed cuffs and hem. It looks very casual but stylish the same time. Then I was checking new arrivals at Forever21 and surprised by not less nicer but affordable alternative top! This one has casual long sleeves and featuring an all-over sheer burnout and ribbed knit trim. Compare:

AnimalSpective to Spring-Summer 2009

anna — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 20:00:45 +0000

This time I decided to show you fun and new look with animal print. Tanks and tees with prints to add some real safari chic to your summer wardrobe are really irreplaceable. Great with skinny jeans or denim skirts, sandals and large leather totes. One interesting detail: there are should be exactly two animals :)

Forever21 offers peacocks, parrots and zebras:

dELiAs offers zebras and giraffes:

Topshop also offers zebras, while Torn shows off leopards:

Torn by Ronny Kobo offers gold zebras, black and white zebras and cheetahs:

Couple of wild animals on your tee is a great choice for summer! My favourite are Topshop zebras and dELiAs giraffes, and what is your choice?

Kate Moss for Topshop: New Collection

anna — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 11:02:03 +0000

Great news again!
After nine seasons working together Kate Moss and Topshop have hit upon a winning fashion recipe. Take a large dollop of skinny jeans and flirty dresses, add some leather and suede for rock-chic bite, sprinkle on some Gallic striped knitwear and bake in the summer sun. This season though, the recipe has a few extra ingredients.

“I love wearing prints, particularly in summer and they’ve proved a real hit in my past collections,” Moss explained. “Whilst researching the spring range we looked at loads of old prints and most of my favourites originated from the Liberty archive.“
“Collaborating with the print studio was an amazing experience,” Moss revealed. “The team are so knowledgeable and were very open to my ideas. The capsule range features original colour combinations exclusive to my spring collection.“
The spring/summer 2009 offering will also feature Moss’ first underwear outing with bras and pants in black lace and cotton florals.

Let’s have a look at this:

Tops

Blazers and Jackets

Day Dresses

Evening Maxi Dress

Evening Mini Dress

Lingerie
