Ashley Tisdale Sports a McQueen

Roselle — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:00:45 +0000

Ashley Tisdale was spotted out and about early last week. The former Disney darling was decked in “IT” pieces as she stepped off her vehicle for a shopping session in Hollywood. By “IT” I mean the covetable two tone Celine Boston Luggage Bag, snakeskin Louboutin flats, and of course, the most iconic of all neck pieces, a skull printed Alexander McQueen Scarf!

What do you think of Ashley’s outfit here?

Actually, it’s nothing special BUT, those accessories did make her quite the standout. I envy her personally. For one, I wish I could afford a Celine bag like that. And for another, I so wish I wouldn’t feel guilty shelling out USD400 for a McQueen scarf. Unfortunately, spending that much would haunt me to my sleep, so it’s a no go. Speaking of which, if you are interested, you can find that scarf at Neiman Marcus for a hefty USD445:

If you prefer something made of sheer silk, a few are actually available at Zappos at slightly less expensive prices. All three look about the same with minor differences in size. Happy shopping!

Spotted: Beyonce Knowles in McQueen

Roselle — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:00:11 +0000

If being pregnant means you can look as fabulous as an expecting Beyonce Knowles, then I wouldn’t mind being pregnant all the time. The singer was spotted out and about in New York early this week and we simply could not help but admire. She was stylishly decked in a red blazer and a leopard print scarf that made her look très chic; perfectly glam and uber fashionable. Check her out below:

Nice, yes?

There’s something about mixing leopard with intense hues like red or cobalt blue that makes it oh-so stunning. Always, it never fails to look amazing. Beyonce’s scarf is from Alexander McQueen by the way. It’s leopard print, yes, but it also features random skull patterns. If you can afford a McQueen, simply head over to FarFetch and purchase the piece. It retails at a really pricey USD600 (ouch!):

Given such an exorbitant price, you will surely feel like a million bucks while wearing the scarf. Of course, you don’t have to spend THAT much to get the look. Simply grab a poppy red blazer and a decently priced leopard print scarf and you’d be all set. Here are pieces you can start with:

A. StyleInch Short Leopard Print Scarf, USD25 (Amazon) / B. Jack by BB Dakota Richie Jacket, USD43 from USD61 (RevolveClothing)/ C. Nine West Check It Boots, USD126 from USD140 (Zappos) / D. Jack by BB Dakota Romaine Coat, USD66 (RevolveClothing)

See the Scarves from Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2012 Collection!

Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2012 collection was received with much acclaim. Inspired by The Great Gatsby, his genius of a collection was a fresh take on the stylish ’20s which featured a light-colored palette mixed with metallics. And since it was the 1920s, there was a lot of scarves and wraps in appearance. Heaven!

Check out these looks and recreate them as early as now with these scarf choices from Shopbop and Net-a-Porter.

1) The Sheer Floral Tie Scarf

Recreate with:

So this isn’t exactly flowers, but a silk-chiffon scarf like this one will flow in the wind and freshen up your look.

2) The Feather Boa

Recreate with:

Boa, $150, Kiki De Montparnasse, Shopbop

It’s obvious a feather boa is not much for keeping your neck warm but it can sizzle up your outfit in a glamorous way if you wrap it neatly and tastefully around your neck.

3. The Head Scarf

Recreate with:

Zoey Head Scarf, $41.30, Club Monaco, Shopbop

Not necessarily to keep your hair out of the way, the head scarf serves a purpose like a spectator would– adornment. Any scarf would do for this look.

Leighton Meester: Print on Print

Roselle — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 08:26:03 +0000

Here’s one more celebrity doing a print on print combination on her outfit – Leighton Meester. The Gossip Girl beauty was spotted heading to the set of her TV show in a striped light grey sweater paired with a much lighter grey printed scarf. She paired the pieces with black pants, boots, and a handbag. The look was easy and casual, though quite the opposite of what her alter ego, Blair Waldorf, would wear:

What do you think of Leighton’s style here? Do you like the way she mixed those prints? It’s quite a subtle combination, can you appreciate? Well, we can. Combining prints in the same color palette is one of the quickest ways to spice up an outfit. Speaking of which, any idea where Leighton got her scarf?

We clearly have no information on it yet, but if you like the shade and you don’t mind spending, we found some Alexander McQueen scarves in the same dove grey hue:

Alexander McQueen Skull Scarf in White/Light Grey, USD295 at Zappos

Alexander McQueen Floral Skull Printed Scarf, USD267 from USD445 at Zappos

Now if spending that much on a scarf is clearly out of your budget, here’s a good alternative to try; though it isn’t exactly in light grey – this Peace Sign printed scarf from Amazon (see below). Once you’ve acquired your scarf, simply pair it with a striped grey and white sweater to copy Leighton’s look!

Nicole Richie: A Day with McQueen at Barneys

Roselle — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 23:15:36 +0000

Over the holidays, a lot of celebs were spotted shopping at Barneys. One celebrity who did some retail therapy while looking cool was Nicole Richie. While shopping for fashion, Nicole was also IN fashion. She wore a hat and a McQueen Skull Scarf over a draped jacket and knee high Louboutin boots. She gave the dark look a pop of color with a red Chanel Flap.

How Hilary Duff Wears Her Alexander McQueen Skull Scarf

I found this photograph of Hilary while browsing through Zimbio. This was taken early last month (October 1), doesn’t the former Disney Queen look chic and stylish in her outfit? I love the pop of color on her feet. Plus, check out the way she did her scarf, she knotted it twice to make it look like a tie. Love! Love! Love!
