Victoria Beckham's Designs

Victoria Beckham's luxury dress label has quite the celebrity following. Ever since the launch of her label, celebs from J Lo to Cameran Diaz to Blake Lively to Jennifer Hudson have been spotted in her classy chic dresses and praised her work.

Such is the popularity of her designs that her Fall 2009 collection completely sold out on the luxury online shopping store Net-a-Porter.com. Her designs are classy, simple, chic and stylish - forever pieces.

Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow were spotted in a beautiful body-flattering pencil dress by Victoria Beckham. Gwyneth wore VB's dress in grey for an Iron Man 2 photocall while J Lo picked the dress in lovely blush colour and was seen wearing in Washington D.C. with a pair of nude Louboutins. Both the ladies looked gorgeous in their respective dresses.

Looks like Gwyneth has fallen head over heels for VB's dresses, as she wore two of her designs in a short span of one week.

Rumour has it that Victoria Beckham would be designing a few outfits for Beyonce for her next series of concerts, as Beyonce completely loved her designs.

.

Good work Posh, but we wish she creates some affordable line for other fashion savvy females, who don't want to loosen their bags as much.

Valextra: Bag Obsession

The beauty of Valextra bag is it's simplicity and luxury without shouting out loud 'hey I am Valextra', unlike others. This Milan based brand speaks of style and sophistication. It is not for the woman who seeks attention, but for the one who delights in the satisfaction of quiet opulence without the need for loud logos or monograms. Valextra bags brilliantly exude sophistication with simple structure and clean lines - minimalism at its finest.

Who loves it - Katie Valextra Obsession

When it comes to obsession, Katie Holmes sort of tops our list. First she had an obsession with Chanel everything then it was her Chloe Paraty Python Bag, further she could not be spotted without her Roger Vivier Mikado Flat Bag.

And now Katie Holmes has got a new obsession - her white Valextra's Slim Shopping Tote Bag. Its sleek and stylish basic shape makes it a great handbag that can be carried with just about any style.

Valextra has been popular with celebrities since 1937. The great thing about the bag is that with its minimilistic chic you will be able to use it everywhere for years to come.

If you love clean, structured and chic bags like Valextra, you must check out Matt and Nat luxury vegan bags. They're a better buy, considering they're ethical and cruelty-free while being stylish and smart at the same time. And yes, even they are celebrity fav.

Power Dressing

This season go the power dressing way - immaculate cuts, figure hugging fits that accentuate the contours of the body, structured jackets, tailored dresses, cinched waistlines, killer heels, statement jewellery and simple, structured bags, it's all about like you mean business. Fierce but feminine, like Sandra Bullock's style in the movie The Proposal or Victoria Beckham' style. It has a modern aesthetic that’s more feminine and even sexy this time around. A look that will work for the office as well as parties.

Why power dressing?
Well-fitted cuts gives a feeling of formality and structured clothes are associated with confidence. It exudes elegance with comfort and ease. Figure grazing clothes accentuate the female body form while hiding the problem areas. This modern chic classic charm can be carried off with confidence by every woman..

Working the look

Here's how you can work the look, also glance at some celebs who have worked this look well.
.
- Pick jackets and blazers that are nipped in at the waist to create flattering curves and choose bold colours to wear underneath to add som interet to your look – not the boring pastel shades or beige but a bold red or empowering orange.
.

Moschino Cheap and Chic

.

- Pick straight, tailored, smart, high-waisted pencil skirts or trousers, sheath dress in thick fabric and find a style that you feel most confident and comfortable in. Remember to keep accessories to a minimum choosing one statement piece. Scarves, brooches, not-so-overpowering necklace are some good options. Choose subtle structured, clean tote or handbag to finish your confident, empowering and fashionably fierce look. You can colour co-ordinate your shoes and bag.

- Invest in quality pieces like a fantastic blouse, tailored dress and a razor sharp blazer (loved the grey dress Sandra wore in the movie The Proposal) that will not only confirm your fashion credentials, but will look great for a few seasons to come.

- In the make-up department remember to keep it subtle. To carry off this look with a feminine touch, focus on just one feature such as the eyes, cheeks or lips. Red lips would work well, it spell of power yet looks sexy at the same time (may not be great at everyone's workplace though, but perfect for parties).
.
And this style is not just for the workplace. You can wear it to parties, lunches or dinner, wherever you choose.

Victoria Beckham

Although Posh has adopted a very classy and sophisticated impeccable style, which can be predictable at times, but sometimes her edgy look creates a new fashion statement. She was seen at the Heathrow wearing an Loewe ensemble which I am sure very few women can carry that well.
.
She looks every inch stylish in the high-waisted white pants teamed with polka dot shirt (both Loewe). In the accessorise department, she wore her trademark black shades. Her Loewe bag (thank God not Hermes for a change) goes well with the outfit, but I don't like the suede Yves Saint Laurent Tribute heels she was wearing, though you can barely see them as they are hidden by her long pants.

Kim Kardashian - Shopping in West Hollywood

.
Kim was spotted shopping in West Hollywood looking chic in a casual black ensemble. She is wearing a black jumpsuit (I love jumpsuits for their simple minimilistic chic, comfort and versatility), a smart black bag (does anyone know which Bag is Kim carrying? pls post your comment), delectable silver and black gladiators and a black necklace that adds punk to he outfit. I love black, and surely love her all black ensemble.

To make a style statement is certainly a hardwork. And then in an endevour to make one and falling off so badly does take some efforts too. Some things are best left on the runway, but apparently Sienna Miller did not realise it when she wore bold Gucci leopard sequin suit at the G.I. Joe premiere in Japan. The model wore it on Gucci's runway the same way - midnight blue lurex shirt, shiny suit, peep-toe booties. But like I said, some looks are best left for the runway.
.
The jacket or the shirt by itself are quite stylish. But putting all the sparkle together just did not work for us.

Audrey Tautou, the French Actress who starred in the movie The Da Vinci Code, looks effortless chic at the Coco Avant Chanel Rome Premiere in her demure navy, black and white cutout dress. The silhouette of her dress looks very classy yet modern evoking innocence and youth. The black belt tied on her small waist looks absolutely gorgeous. Love her style. This French lady is also the new face of the iconic Chanel No. 5 Perfume.

Isn't she looking much younger and fresh post The Da Vinci Code? Pretty and Lovely comes to my mind looking at her recent pictures. I even liked her in the Vinci movie, and her accent was so cute. What say?

Camilla Belle

.
Camilla Belle, the 22-year old American Actress who starred in the movie 10,000 BC, looked absolutely stunning and chic in a white polka-dot minidress at the luncheon of recently opened Gucci store in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The stylish actress was head-to-toe clad in Gucci for the brand's launch. She cinched the waist of her chic dress with a wide patent belt, paired it with a matching black python clutch, accessorised it with Gucci black PVD twirl watch with black diamonds and added a pop of colour to her black and white ensemble with cherry-red Sofia pumps fom Gucci's Cruise 2009 Collection. Her look reminds me of Demi Moore in polka dot (navy) dress matched with red pumps atBerlin Film Festival, click here to view pictures.
.
Polka dots are hot this season. They are so girly, flirty and perfect choice for spring/summer. I am absolutely loving the way Camilla has pulled the look together. You like? Leave you comments.

Later in the evening, she changed in a dazzling aqua-beaded cowl-neck blouse with embellished skirt (again all Gucci). This look is the same a presented on the runay from Gucci Fall 2009 Collection minus the shoes. Though I don't care for the dress much, esp the skirt, but Camilla is looking absolutely stunning.
.
This girl seems to be a Gucci fan, she even wore Gucci at the premiere of her movie 10,000 B.C. Well, if I were to choose the brand ambassador for Gucci, Camill Belle would be my first choice.

Victoria Beckham - The Classic Look

Victoria Beckham catching a Flight at Heathrow, London

.
Talking of chic and not mentioning Victoria Beckham would be a shame. Victoria Beckham, the 35 years old fashionista, is famous for her chic and classy style. The lady is always immaculately dressed, even if she's just coming out from a long haul flight. In the above picure (photographed at Heathrow International Airport) she is dressed to her best in a pair of skinny jeans, a black V-neck blouse, a chic black jacket with emphasized shoulders and her favourite Hermes Bag.
.

Victoria Beckham is one loyal Hermes customer, she loves all things Hermes and Hermes bags are her fav for travelling. She is rarely not spotted in Hermes while travelling. I’ve always agreed that a handbag completes the outfit, and Victoria’s choice in bags does this well.
If you would notice the picture closely, you'll see that Posh was wearing flats inside the Heathrow Airport while coming out of the terminal, but while getting out from the airport she switched to a pair of stilettos. Well the lady has some fetish for stilettos.

.

Victoria Beckham at LA International Airport

.
Another airport look of Victoria Beckham at LAX, Los Angeles International Airport. She's looking impeccable as ever in the black satin tunic paired with black tights, YSL pumps, an oversized bag (am surprised this time its not Hermes) and a gold Rolex Watch.

.
I really like her style - classy and chic, something that never goes out of fashion. Black is her favourite pick, mine too. You can almost never go wrong with Black.
'Victoria on what it takes to look fabulous like her: "Whether you've got £20 to spend in Top Shop or £2,000 to spend at Gucci, looking good isn't about money, it's about style - and style never goes out of fashion." ' (Source).

Check out more pictures of Posh, dressed up for the airport. One thing common in all her Airport Ensembles, below, is chic and impeccability.

Tie Dye Jeans - Hit or Miss?

Tie and Dye Jeans is the latest celebrity favourite trend. It has not only become celebrities' hot favourite but also of all the premium jeans brands who have launched their own versions of Tie Dye (also referred as distressed bleached) pairs. From Sass and Bide to J Brand to Ksubi and even Balmain have a tie dye style in their latest collections.

Do you like this trend? Check out pictures of some celebs pulling it off and decide who wears it best?
.

Fergie and Nicole Richie

I think Fergie pulls off the tie dye trend the best. She normalises the loud tie dyed jeans by pairing it with white shirt and the orange belt draws some attention from the jeans, which is really a smart way to balance such a loud look.

.

Tie dye jeans - well, my verdict is its something that you enjoy watching on others, but don't really wear it yourself. Honestly, what does fashion make people wear at times. In the style files I said that I wouldn't care for this trend, and even after looking at so many celebs wearing it, I won't change my stance. But yes, its good for the daring ones with a funky side inside, EXPERIMENT.
.
I think the block colours are the best pick in denim (certainly a little fading here and there is alright).

Do you think you'll wear this trend? Is it something that would work practically or just another celebrity fashion fad? Leave a comment and discuss...........

Fierce Shoes

Fierce Shoes with vertiginous heels are doing rounds on the runway and are popular even with A-list celebrities.

High-heels are definitely my fav, and I never step out without a pair, but these are the ultra-high heels with unusual horrifying designs.

I think its a silly trend, that not only looks ghastly but is also very uncomfortable. Fashion should not be fatal, but when will the fashion industry understand this?

These sky-high heels had even the professional models, who are used to walking the ramps with high heels, stumble on the runway while displaying this trend. Scroll down to see the runway pictures.

Celebrities wearing the trend

Madonna wore a very unusual pair of platform shoes with pistol-shaped heels at a New York movie premiere. How can she see those shoes as a fashion statement? Well, no wonder the Material Girl was attacked with lots of criticism for these shoes.
.
and the most horrifying.........

.

Victoria Beckham

.
The most ghastly shoes were worn by none other than the Fashion Forward Victoria Beckham. I usually like her fashion sense, but these shoes look angry and horrifying. She is wearing Christian Louboutin spikes and studded shoes. Usually I love Louboutin shoes, but these are a complete no-no.
