Frock Candy - 27.8.10

I solemnly swear that from this day forth, I shall dedicate myself to Frock Candy. Every Friday when you click on to Elle of the Ball, Frock Candy will appear, without fail.*

Best

Right how does she do it? Everytime. That's it. I'm going to steal her wardrobe.

There's something in the water at West Bev. What is going on with the stylish offerings of the 90210 girls! I love this and I can't really pick out a reason why. It just works, she's working it. I can't believe I just said that, how lame.

This was about Sienna's red dress. It's one of the most blogged about looks of the last week. But, she's in a photo with Twiggy. I couldn't not put that up. Love.

I've recently fallen in love with Drew Barrymore. She is amazeballs.

Putting all suspicions of a bias to rest. She looks gorgeous. Amazing. Whatever, I still dislike her immensely.

Fair to Middlin' Sure

God loves a tryer and Whitney certainly tries. It's a nice dress, it just doesn't suit her. The red lip is too harsh but she could have gotten away with it if her hair wasn't greased back into a Croydon facelift.

I'm not a Katy fan. But, credit where credit's due she can scrub up alright when she's not desperately trying to be 'quirky'. Awful earrings.

Worst

It's so very very Clueless, very dated, very bad. Is she wearing sheer stockings? The print is so cheep. The coordinated sunglasses and shoes are odd and make the bag look completely out of place and it was a strange enough choice already. Jewellery looks like something a six year old would choose. In fact, the whole look is very, '50's Barbie.' She must have bumped her head.

Sheer black tights are generally bad. Unless they're done in a grungy way. This outfit is not grungy. Boring, librarian patent shoes. I despise black and green. Weird neckline, hair just isn't nice, wrong shade of lipstick. She needs a new stylist. Immediately.

Frock Candy - 30.7.10

Last week was great. This week I'm struggling to choose between worsts.

Oh, nearly included Annalynne McCord again, that one would literally attend the opening of an envelope.

Let me know what you think!

Best

This is how you do structured. Take note Blake Lively.

Couldn't get a picture of Gwyneth on her own. Anyway. Amazing. She know's her shoes. That kind of knowledge is always appreciated with me. It's beautiful.

Fair to Middlin' Sure

Henry Holland is obviously a positive influence. She's on the road to style recovery. But, if those shoes are anything to go by, she's not there just yet.

Her hair is gorgeous. Sometimes I look at this and I see a sack. And then I look and see Vionnet. It's the sleeve that's off putting I think. Overall she looks nice, it's when you glance at her that she looks like a bag of shpuds.

Worst

Hideous angle. Her face looks weird. Hideous dress. The colour is just bleuch. I'm sure you've realised that I hate things that look cheap. The black lycra on the sides of this is cheap. Dirt cheap. Shoes are very school librarian. Jewellery is plain and dull. The hem line makes me ill. Genuinely ill.

Ok, so I try really hard to put my dislike of Angelina Jolie aside when doing this. I thought to myself if this was VB would I hate it as much? I would. It's great to see her in colour. Just not this weird red colour. I hate halternecks. Hate them, they are flattering on hardly anyone. Especially when the neck is thick. Ew. That weird piece of material on her hip is unnecessary. I don't like her hair. It's like when you come out of the hairdresser and they've just dried it all wrong. Go home, fix it, then go out. Chiffon is grand but, it's so debs-y it hurts my eyes. Stick to black Angelina, I can tolerate that.

NIPPLE. I'm not a huge fan of monochrome. It's too matchy, to structured and too polished..., apart from her jewellery which I assume she picked out in the dark. Those shoes should be burned. The cut of the trousers is weird and I hate satin. Top and hair are bleuch. Blake you can do so much better.

Frock Candy - 2.7.10

Mixing it up this week with a Glasto special. Festival fashion over the last few years has gotten a bit monotonous. Biker boots, denim shorts, tribly, and a scarf has become the uniform for the Kate Moss brigade. Coachella is a little more adventurous, although I can't imagine negociating a playsuit in a portaloo.

On another note, I'm going to Electric Picnic. No plans of yet but the decision has been made.

So here we go. As always give me your thoughts!

*Glastonbury Wears*

She looks like she's stepped out of another era. Love the dress, great shoes. A-mazing hair. She's at a festival how can her hair look that good!

Those shoes are fantastic. I want some. The bag stands out against the rest. Great shirt. Denim shorts but sometimes it's nice to fit in. :)

Fair to Middlin' Sure

Bad shoes. It doesn't look like it but she insists she's wearing shorts. The bag looks like one I used to bring to school. I believe it was purchased in a hardware. No joke. Bad. Badges are just very 5 years ago. I like the hat and the hair. From the neck up it's all good.

Worst

Pixie is my favourite Geldolf, without doubt. This is not good though. I normally love black on a sunny day. It stands out from all the florals and pastels. This is wrong though. Socks look like they've been borrowed from her dad. Clearly no bra for Pixie. She forgot her trousers. Terrible sleeve on the curtain. I have little issue with the bag.

*And the Rest*

Best

Was going to leave it at just a Glasto special this week but I just had to include Sienna. This is a great look. The beige with the grey is gorgeous. It's summery and pretty and so very Sienna. Great shoes. She doesn't get much wrong.

Kate Moss can do little wrong either. Love these shoes. And love that it's all grey but still manages not to look like she's heading to a meeting. That belt is really nice, nice enough that I actually notice it anyway!

What a ride. Don't care how old she is. If you have those legs, glue yourself into PVC and wear it forever. I'm jealous.

Fair to Middlin' Sure

Ok, so first off I'm not a Jolie fan. Team Jen 4 LYF. But, I am being impartial in this one. The shoes look funny it's like the weren't meant to be a peep tow they just didn't have enough material to cover the toe. They look like unicorn hooves. The dress does not fit. The bracelets nice, as is her hair.

Clearly Nicole was disappointed I didn't include her last week as she wore the exact same outfit this week. You shouldn't have bothered love, it's not your best look. I love the shoes. And it is a nice outfit. It's just not the Nicole I know and love. She should have lost either the tights or the jacket. It's LA it can't be that cold!

Worst

I love Britney. I always root for her. I paid a frickin' fortune to go see her in Dublin. I love her. I do not love this. What is that on her feet? No seriously what? Bad extensions, the top is a hideous colour and the bag with it? Just no Britters, no. I still love you though.

White as Diamonds.

I have always loved the 30's and 40's style, and so I am unbelievably delighted that it has made a comeback. Especially since my wonderful granny is a firm believer in never throwing anything away. so me and my sister have raided her attic for all sorts of extraordinary vintage finds - for free! We nearly had a falling out over a cloche hat. Most recently admired on Angelina Jolie in the epic Changeling, cloche and flapper hats have come back with a vengence in the autumn/winter 09 collections.

Now sometimes cloche hats can go bad, ergo Katie Holmes.

And other times they look spectacular, when on the likes of Diane of course.

Anyway we came to the conclusion to share, will I be daring enough? Well perhaps, either way I'm a fan of this look. Off to endure some more Angelina in Gia. Enjoy your Sunday!
