Beyoncé & Ivy Blue stroll in New York: Get the Look!
JustJared

Over the last few weeks Beyoncé has been in quite a few posts around here most of which have been lists of best dressed. I really love what she has been doing with her look. There is a sort of 'diva' essence that is always there but she is not afraid of trying new things, which is what makes her so unique.
I was afraid that once she got pregnant we would only see a series of repeatedly slouchy and uninteresting black outfits over and over again but it turns out she has got even more interesting. Proof of it is her latest outfit, which she wore to go for a stroll with mum Tina and baby Blue Ivy.
The look is all about the bold but chic print of the Easton Pearson trousers, which make the statement. Everything else is black but so rightly so. I love the The Row x Linda Farrow round sunglasses, which are so on trend and make the look so slick. The wide-brimmed hat and the black loafers (not unlike these Church's brogues) give a boho chic touch. And the oversized gold hoops make it all a bit sexier. My favourite detail is the bottle holder by Roberto Cavalli. Blue Ivy sure is on for a bright future as a fashionista.

What do you think of B's momma look?

I loved Anne Hathaway's look for her John Stewart appearance. The white Balmain Resort 2012, Elvis t-shirt and black flared trousers were rock and roll and very chic –and had Rachel Zoe's name all over them.

What I liked most about the look were the sunglasses –vintage looking, with a big frame in white not unlike the famous Giles' ones. I have always been very much against white shoes, bags and glasses frames. They're very tricky to make and even harder to pull off. But Anne looked so great in them!

I started to think whether the really big shape could be what makes the shades so chic. Sunglasses have been getting bigger and bigger but in a different way than a few years ago. Lenses are staying the same size and it's the frames that are getting super chunky, which makes their colour and design more noticeable.

This is a trend that I am a lot more in favour. The Olsens have been sporting sunnies like these for years and, of course, launched a few models of the like for the upcoming season of The Row.

I found that Linda Farrow has the best choices, especially in their designer collaboration lines –Peter Pilotto, The Row, Eley Kishimoto, Dries Van Noten.

Are you a fan?

happy birthday to moi

Every year the world celebrates the date of my birth my marking the 21st of March as the kick-off of the Spring. I'm not sure about other parts of the world but here in London it still feels too grey to get into the SS10 mood (as much as my beige Lanvin's scream to get them out). However, I have been present-hunting for weeks and these are part of the (hundreds?) of the splendid pieces I have found in my touring of my three favourite spots to shop —Browns, Liberty's and Matches.
