Coachella Friends are More Stylish than the Coachella Celebs

I was quite excited to see the paparazzi shots from Coachella festival, as it always has a good celebrity turnout, and I hoped there would be some outfit-candy. Interestingly I found very little to get excited about on the actual celebrities, but their friends were dressed well.
Well dressed friend number one was spotted with Katy Perry and Dita von Teese, you'll notice her, as she's pointing to her stylish Alexander Wang shades. Well, if you've got them, flaunt them...


Stylish friend number two was hanging out with Kate Bosworth. Kate looked great throughout the weekend, as Just Jared visitors will know. Yet I felt I'd seen most of her outfits before (in fact, I think she actually did wear the above look a few weeks ago) so there was little to inspire me. Her friend, however, looked gorgeous in the floral printed frock. I have a feeling it's Kate Moss for Topshop. Am I right?

The actual famous people generally stuck to a uniform of denim hotpants (or printed hotpants if you're Whitney Port) and simple tanks. I'm sure it's the most comfortable option if you're stuck in the desert, but it's not very exciting to look at.


The most interesting looks came from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and the lovely Beyonce. I just wish that Beyonce had paired that lace crop with some on-trend leather shorts. She'd easily have been the best dressed at Coachella then...

Hit and Miss of the Week: Pretty in Pink

This week my favourite look belonged to Kate Bosworth. She took to the red carpet in a pale pink Calvin Klein, and I adore the result, she looked absolutely stunning. Also dressing up this week were Taylor Swift (who is slowly finding her style) and Dita Von Teese, who was in Paris for the couture collections.
And over in LA the pavements were just as styled as the runways in Paris - both Nicole Richie and Kirsten Dunst were snapped out and about in cute outfits. As always, let me know which look you rate in the comments section.

Look of the Week: Black Lace

As well as Balmain-look-alike skinny combats I am also on the look out for the perfect black lace dress. Black lace isn't the first look that first springs to mind when you think of S/S, but it's what I want to wear. And I'm not the only one.
This week Reese Witherspoon has worn a black lace mini, Dita Von Teese a black lace Jean Paul Gaultier and Kate Moss a Valentino in black lace - love the white blazer, no?


My spring/summer lace inspiration comes from the Dolce & Gabbana collection. It's a little gothic, a little Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan and oh so desirable. I got an amazing little denim jacket at a bargain price in H&M last summer, and I think a little black lace dress would be the perfect addition to bring it into 2010. I might even add some socks and high heels too, just to really work the Dolce look.



But for those who have had enough of black, why not try white or nude lace, Ashley Olsen style? Dolce & Gabbana toughen it up with leather accessories while Ashley goes for a dark lip.


Is this a look you'll be channelling this S/S? How will you style it?
