Ignore this post if your well and truly overdosed on Nicole Richie...

I know I should be completely sick of her, everywhere I look there seems to be something about Nicole Richie. Apart from her incredible style, I actually really do think she’s quite pretty & for reasons I don’t really understand I never seem to tire of seeing a new photo of her.

I'm sorry if anyone is just completely over her, please ignore today’s blog as I post up some pretty magazine photos of Nicole & her gorgeous family.










And of course... some Nicole "Style" pics...I have been obsessed with Nicole's jacket (3rd pick along) for months but haven't been able find anything similar :(....

Shiny Leggings...Proceed With Caution...

Although this trend has been creeping in for the past 12 months, I really think they’re going to be huge here in Australia next winter. If you can’t wait until then, and as usual I can’t (I’m too much of a sucker for a new trend and of course trying to replicate a celebrity outfit). I’ve already purchased a pair from American Apparel and have been researching non-tacky ways to merge them into a sort of summery outfit.

I’m thinking however it’s a trend to be very very careful of, it’s one of those clothing items that can look horribly wrong and what you think may be a gorgeously fashion forward outfit can end up looking just plain tacky and cheap. I won’t paste up the scary and awful images I found (think Victoria Beckham in shiny leggings and a shiny boob tube top....) I want to keep my blog inspiring with ideas on ‘how to’ wear things. Basically my point is, proceed with caution on this new trend!

My favourite combo: A plain smock style top + leggings

Here we go again..... Harem Pants are back...

Some are a little worried about this 80's trend resurfacing. If worn the wrong way, I have to admit they aren't the most flattering of items. They're growing on me daily however, and on my hunt for style inspiration I've definitely found the good, bad and downright ugly. I've already grabbed myself a bargain pair at Sportsgirl (for $69.95) and I'm definitely enjoying the comfortability. I'm not so sure my husband thinks they are the most flattering of clothing items, especially on my 5ft nothing body but I'm having fun wearing them and sometimes with new trends that's the main thing!

Jen's got Style

With everyone writing about what Jen said about Ange in that Vogue interview, I decided to do some Jen googling. She may not have Brad anymore but the girl certainly has style. All these red carpet frocks are from over the past 8 years and I think she could wear any of them right now & still have the fashion world gushing.

Pretty pics of Jen to oggle at from various photshoots.

Jen is one of those celebs that I'm always eager to look at fresh pics of, she's pretty in such a natural and effortless way.

Celebrity Style Stalking - Sarah Michelle Geller

The always super stylish, Sarah Michelle Geller - cute casual to gorgeously glamorous.... I love how she always looks so polished and classy, on the red carpet or snapped on the street.

Celebrity Style at a fraction of the price...

Sadly I've come to the conclusion that my obsession with stalking out my favourite celebrity wardrobes and how I can (to put it plainly) just copy it, uses up quite a bit of time. Browsing the Internet (when I should be working on something productive) or standing in the newsagent flicking through the weekly mags, when I should be posting or banking is probably contributing to my stressed out existence and feeling like I just can't get everything done in the day.

Something that might help me, and those in a similar predicament however is clever Australian online store, Gosh Celebrity Fashion. With almost exact celebrity looks at a fraction of the price, you have access to all the best celebrity looks 24/7.

Even more exciting is that they are having a pre-Christmas sale right now with up to 60% off selected items....what a perfect solution - saving money and time!

On my shopping list....

Mylookbook November 2008

This month I'm thinking about harem pants and how best to wear them, what kind of glamorous Kaftan I will invest in for summer, & I'm feeling inspired by girls such as Erica Bartle who have created their own jobs online.

I'm in awe of how amazing celebs like Halle Berry and Nicole Richie looked pregnant (when I was pregnant myself I had know idea how to string a remotely stylish outfit together), and I'm loving what Aussie online stores have available so I don't have to venture out into crazy shopping centres.

Thanks to everyone who signed up to the Blog thru October, tomorrow I'll announce the winner of the gorgeous Luxe Bag and Wallet plus let you know what fantastic give-away I have for November...

I'm now off to search online for some harem pants, I think they'll work well with all the Kookai singlets I've purchased recently. I hope you enjoy what's inspired me for November....

Under the radar...

Someone who I think seems to slip under the 'Style Icon" radar in the general media is US So you think you can dance host, Cat Deeley. It might be my personal taste talking, but I from what I've found, she rarely gets her outfits wrong. Be it glammed up for the red carpet, or casual on the street, she's definitely on my radar for inspiration....
