Celebrity Get the Look featuring Emma Watson, Jessica Alba and Alison Williams

Posted on March 21, 2014 by fashion-mommy

Today’s Get the Look is more about ideas to get a similar look, rather than finding the identical items wore by the stars. That said, we still have a few actual ‘get the looks’ from The One Show’s Alex Jones, a lady who always seems to spark early evening discussions about ‘where did she get that?’ on Twitter.

Shall we make a start? Let’s begin the sartorial tour through a few sought after looks.

Alex Jones wears Ted Baker and Wallis

I have to say I’m a huge fan of Alex’s smart, but laid back style. Recently she wore this gorgeous, ruffle sleeved top from Ted Baker on The One Show (sorry no picture). This is a lovely piece to wear with jeans to add Spring to your wardrobe. In addition, Wallis added a picture to their Instagram feed of Alex wearing one of their leather jackets. Now, the jacket doesn’t seem to be available at present, but Wallis has said that there will be a white version of this in stock sometime this Spring. In the meantime, I have added another couple of jackets from Wallis that are similar to Alex’s look. One is a cheaper ‘pleather’ option, whilst the second is a very covetable suede one in a great stone colour way.

Emma Watson in J Mendel

I usually love Emma Watson’s style, but had been seriously underwhelmed by some of her recent choices, particularly, the rather drab dress she wore to the Oscars. But how she redeemed my faith in her with this jumpsuit from J Mendel. Seriously sleek and businesslike, this was more like the fashion forward Emma whose style I love. You can get the look with these separates from Wallis.

Alison Williams

Marnie is not my favourite girls character, that would have to be the irrepressible and outrageous Jessa. But Alison Williams is fast becoming one of my favourite style stars. She is just effortlessly cool and glamorous. This is one of my fave looks from the lady recently, and again, this is a look that can be achieved with pieces from Wallis, including amazing trousers from the latest W collection.

Kylie on The Voice

The Live shows are well and truly underway, but for week after week, we were treated to Kylie in this Little Black dress. Trawling through the Dorothy Perkins website this week, I noticed that the Bardot style dress below was a perfect way to get Kylie’s Bardot look on a budget.

Kate Middleton Style at Kaliko

Kate Middleton was out and about on Monday, sporting the High Street again in a Hobbs Coat, but I am thinking back a couple of summer’s to the teal Jenny Packham dress that has to be one of my fave Kate looks of all time. Kaliko obviously feel the same and have produced a long and short version of this dress, called ‘The Middleton’ of course.

Jessica Alba style from Zalando

Another lady who I believe is actually incapable of getting it wrong is Jessica Alba. Whether on the red carpet, or out and about, Jessica is the epitome of style. I love her casual take on this season’s jumpsuits, and you can get a similar look from Zalando.

Kate Moss wears Muubaa

I love Kate Moss, and I love Muubaa, and I will let them explain to you the thinking behind this very special look.

“Kate Moss is wearing a customised studded version of our Gilet in the latest Rimmel campaign, ‘Rockin Curves’. Part of this campaign is the Rimmel LFW Makeover Bus that you might have seen driving around London in the past week. We lent the gilet to stylist Katy England for the shoot and she asked if she could customise it – Kate Moss then loved the gilet so much that she requested to keep it!”

Celebs wear High Street too – featuring Ella Henderson, Lydia Bright and Alex Jones

Posted on October 18, 2012 by fashion-mommy

Autumn is bringing a bumper selection of fashionable celebrities wearing a whole range of fabulous High street and online finds. From X Factor stars to the ladies from TOWIE and other reality telly, there are a whole host of ladies finding the sort of treasures you can uncover for yourself on a Saturday afternoon.

Tulisa wears French Connection

This is how I like to see Tulisa dress, a pretty frock that has been toughened up with a fabulous leather biker jacket from French Connection that you can buy for less than £100. The Athena jacket is an investment buy that will last for years. It also comes in a great Stone version for those who prefer something slightly less rock star.

Alesha Dixon wears Miss Selfridge

At the recent Look Show, Alesha looked incredible in a heavily embellished skirt which she wore with a matching top. The pencil skirt is a buy I would definitely recommend. With the embellished top it gives the look of a dress, but I would love to see this with a simple black vest top, and maybe that French Connection leather jacket too.

Lydia Bright in Miss Selfridge

Lydia is the perfect style ambassador for Miss Selfridge, gorgeous, super stylish and eclectic in her choices. At London fashion week she teamed a shrunken style tuxedo with a very on trend maroon fedora. I love that Lydia mixed the masculine tailoring of the tuxedo with the boho pretty print of her maxi dress.

Jameela Jamil wears Daisy Street

Another celebrity who enjoyed LFW was Jameela Jamil. Her eye-caching footwear for the PPQ show was from great online brand Daisy Street. These are just fabulous because they lift every outfit into the realm of something special. I love the idea of these with a little black dress, no other accessories would be needed.

Alex Jones uses a Zatchel

It seems that not a week goes by without another celebrity being spotted with a Zatchel. One of the latest was ‘The One Show’s’ Alex Jones, who opted for a glossy gold version of the must-have bag. I love the gold, and think this bag is going to feature on an awful lot of Christmas wish lists this year.

Una Healy wears Ax Paris and Daisy Street

Like a lot of new mom’s, Una Healy seems to be restricting a lot of her shopping to online brands. AX Paris is already a favourite of the singer, and her shell print top is currently in the sale, making it a great item to buy now, and then save until next Summer.

I also loved the glam white top with studding detail on the sleeves that she wore to the Nylon Party this week. This is another great buy from Daisy Street for £19.99, and it also comes in a rather gorgeous khaki colour way.

Lauren Pope and Aislyne Horgan Wallace wear Jaydah Jewellery

One of the hottest jewellery brands to emerge in 2012 has been Jaydah. So it is no wonder that it is fast gaining celebrity fans. TOWIE star Lauren Pope wore the beautiful black geometric ring that has a definite Art Deco feel. This is such a statement piece it is hard to believe that it costs just £12.99.

Aislyne Horgan Wallace looked fabulous in a collar design from the Geo Queen collection. Again this is a truly beautiful and versatile piece that can help you to dress up the simplest outfits – it would look fabulous over a simple t-shirt, or with a round neck jumper to create interest on the neckline.

Ella Henderson wears Ted Baker

And last, but by no means least, we have current X Factor golden girl Ella Henderson. I have a feeling that Ella may well be sponsored by Ted Baker before very long as she wears their dresses so well. In the first live show she wore a fairy style dress called the Telago in a nude/pink shade. This dress is current Ted Baker, and also comes in a glorious navy shade that I personally prefer, although the pink was a great match for Ella’s hair and colouring.

V festival – a sea of dresses

Posted on August 21, 2012 by fashion-mommy

Maybe it’s because the weather has been ‘too darn hot’ in the inimitable words of Ann Miller, but amidst the usual parade of denim and hotpants, there were a lot of very pretty dresses on display at the V festival this last weekend. There were maxi dresses, midi dresses, gorgeous vintage print tea dresses and even some candy stripes courtesy of Sophie Ellie Bexter.

This was a true taste of summer, and the style that I love most – feminine, girly, but grunged up a little with some boots and shaggy hair. Top glamour marks must go to Billie Piper, who looked glorious in her Ossie Clark style maxi – which she seemed to keep pristine. Maybe it’s a good job V is known as the clean festival!

Festival Style

I love Kelly Brooks citrus coloured dress with the lovely 1950s silhouette. A perfect fit for that fab figure and the addition of shoe boots is a winning touch.

The fabulous Emma Bunton combines brightly coloured animal print with a classic tan Mulberry and boots to create a perfect festival look. I love her addition of a denim shirt rather than a jacket for a casual touch.

How gorgeous is Sophie Ellis Bexter here? The primary striped dress cinched in with a black belt and those oh so cool shades make her look like a Riviera beauty from the early 1960s. Loving the retro hair too.

This dress is just stunning. I wasn’t sure who the designer was, although the print is very Clements Ribeiro, but then I discovered tht this dress was from Issa. It has a feel of Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell and I just adore it. Billie has a very ecletic personal style that I often admire – and this dress was a bold and brave choice for a music festival, but bravo to Billie for providing one of the looks of the summer.

The real star of last years X Factor (sorry Little Mix – was never that impressed…), Mischa B has started to impress with some great style choices. This dress is great, the vest top makes it practical, whilst the animal print skirt is both a bit of fun and a little bit of glamour. Gold Star to Mischa.

The One Show’s Alex Jones shows that florals are the perfect print for festivals, tying in perfectly with all that grass! This dress is very similar to the styles from Inlovewithfashion – a flirty mini dress at the front, with a longer train at the back. Also have to say I really like Alex’s sandals too.
