The classic Little Black Dress, has gone sequin crazy as of late and it's a great thing! Designers such as Chanel and Oscar De La Renta have added shimmer and shine to an otherwise simple dress.


Sequines make these short summer-night dress' a lot more glamorous, and are definitely grabbing fans across Hollywood from the likes of celebrity off-spring Rumer Willis to regular rehab visitor Lindsay Lohan!

Loving Tom Ford's Hawkings Shades


OK my current sunglass crush is Tom Ford's Hawkings sunglasses. When i was on holiday's in Oslo Norway, i first set my eyes on these beauties. I tried them on at a Optical store and fell in love with them immediately, but they didn't have them in black which i really wanted and well i didn't have a spare $500 lying around either at the time.


However, theses are the type of sunglasses that people love or hate - my boyfriend hates them, and i love them. And now i am all excited about them again when i spotted my favourite Olsen, Ashley wearing them. Perhaps i will start saving to get myself a pair, and in the time i save i can decide whether i still want them or whether something else has caught my eye.


These Aviator style sunglasses are made for both men and women so If you love them, you can purchase a pair online at Eyesave or online at Neiman Marcus for around $450 to $500.

Givenchy Nightingale Bag


While the obvious YSL Downtown bag is held on the arms of many celebrity fashionistas this season, their has been a quiet achiever working it's way into many daily outfits of Hollywood starlets such as Nicole Richie and Ashley Olsen.


Known as the Givenchy Nightingale, this bag is big enough to store Ashley's twin Mary-Kate while Nicole Richie may need allthe space she can get to store those future baby diapers.


This is a very subtle sophisticated leather bag minus all the hardware and label flashing which is the perfect compliment to any outfit, any season.

Victoria Versus Mary-Kate: Balenciaga Belt


With the whole 'studded and rock-style belt' look in full swing for Fall, both Victoria Beckham and Mary-Kate Olsen were both spotted wearing the same rock-style Balenciaga Belt. The belt fits in perfectly with Mary-Kate rock-chic style, whilst although Victoria Beckham's oufit looks good, it seems that Victoria is wearing it for the sake of it being a designer brand, rather than making the look work. Who do you think wears it better? Victoria Beckham or Mary-Kate Olsen?

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen At Hampton's Social


Earlier this week Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen attended a Hampton's Social event in which it became even more clear that although they're twins, their personal style couldn't be furthur apart. As always Ashley Olsen looked ravishing with sophistication beyond her years. The yellow bubble skirt bought a bit of color to her outfit, which many of her past outfits have been lacking, while the Azzedine Alaia gladiator shoes bought a bit of grunge to her outfit which is so youthful and daring.


While Mary-Kate's ensemble did not appeal to me at all, some may call it unique, but i personally feel that she looks like a hobo. Her scarf was longer than the dress she wore and she looked very casual for a hampton's event. But then again Mary-kate has always done her own thing and it's working for her.

Angelina Jolie knows Black is ALWAYS the new black


Angelina Jolie knows that black is always the new black, which can be seen her countless amount of outfits she has worn over the month's all predominately black. You can't really go wrong with black, it's simple to wear, stylish, sophisticated, grown up, fuss free and can be worn over and over again without becoming tiring.


All she needs to look great is a complete black ensemble, a cool pair of shades and that gorgeous smile.

Waist belts get wider and wider!


The belt trend seems to be morphing more and more each season. It started at the hips, then Keira Knightley brought the belt to the chest, while the runways found a balance between the two, hugging perfectly around the waist.


However, the very feminine and polished waist belt takes on a whole new dimension for fall, with wider being preferred by many designers. Black is the most versatile option to go for, but if your crazy about the look a neon colored belt such as the hot pink Fendi one seen on Victoria Beckham brings an edge to a classic outfit.


Whilst other details to look for include patent, buckles as seen at Burberry Prosum and Studs inspired by Dolce and Gabanna.
