Child's Play

It's true Celebrities have lives just like us but with the fabulous factor turned up like 6 notches. So naturally their children have to be on another level also, right? With their outlandish names like Apple and Pilot Inspector, passports that are fuller than most grown adults and inheritances that could feed a small country we common folk pale in comparison. I must admit in a struggling economy these are all things could give us all reasons to be jealous (behold the green eyed monster) but what I envy the most would be THEIR CLOSETS. E! News did a sneak peek inside Skylar Zoe, Rachel Zoe’s son whom at the time wasn’t even born yet and the boy’s stylish wardrobe was filled with Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Missoni and Todds!  Skylar aside with his unfair advantage (Hello his mom shops for a living!) here are some of my favorite stylish celeb kids!

Ironically all of my young fashionista’s this week are H names! Must be something in the water?

Harlow Madden is one of my favorite young fashionista’s for many different reasons. First and foremost Nicole Richie openly admits that she gives her children the freedom and creativity to pick out whatever she wants to wear, no matter how crazy Nicole thinks Harlow may look! That means you’re looking at a true original here. Another thing I love is you can tell Harlow’s style has been influenced by Mummy Nicole. The jean jacket is so Nicole and the tutu is a nod to Nicole’s ballerina background as a child, and no doubt Harlow is a “tiny dancer” as well : ) In addition the tights to transition an outfit is something Nicole did with jean shorts in the winter. The sneakers just add a fun element of childhood whimsy and the adorable ruffled headband just says this girl knows how to accessorize. With a Rock-n-Roll papa and a clothing designer for a mother Harlow’s creativity and style should be off the charts, can’t wait to see what she wears next!

Honor Warren has been on my style radar for a minute now but this outfit is four stars. This long sleeve paisley dress is fun in its bright blues shades but the print adds an element of sophisticated chic, like mom Jessica Alba may have a blouse in the same print! The finishing touches of a sling purse with a big fun bow and sweet pink ballet flats just add adorable touches of little girl. It also probably doesn’t hurt that in this photo Honor looks like she is having the most fun EVER, remember ladies happy girls are the prettiest!

Finally, Harper 7 Beckham is truly the up and coming fashionista to watch out for. I know everyone’s been talking about Suri Cruise, well I think she’s played out and I think Harper is IT! To be honest Harper doesn’t have a ton of past outfits to critique one because it’s actually rather difficult to find ugly infant clothes, and two because Harper actually hasn’t been photographed that often thanks to Mom and Dad’s protective measures. But, without a doubt this one of Harper’s cutest outfits to date.  This sweet Burberry dress has its signature brown and taupe’s in an elegant plaid print with some nice thick brown knit tights to keep Harper's little legs warm. Finally, the outfit is finished off with a matching bow in Harper’s baby fine tresses. Sure, Harper didn’t actually pick this outfit out herself but with a mom like Posh Spice you know she will be sure to have her own unique and wonderful style. And just imagine the closet she has to raid when she grows up!

ALL NIGHT LONG

Check out some of my older posts and you'll quickly realize I may or may not have a girl crush on Nicole Richie or Nic as I like to refer to her (because we are totes on a first name basis). I think its undeniable since Miss Richie stepped on the scene as Paris Hilton's sharp tongued accomplice shes had her own stamp on the fashion arena. Today she is the proud owner and creator of House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate named after her sweet daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden : ) While I could probably talk for hours about each of these lines (the sunglasses, the jewelry, the shoes, THE CLOTHES) I will instead focus on Nic's more recent fashion choices!


This outfit Nicole recent wore on the panel for Design Star and I am really loving it. First this is a dress but the shape of the top creates the illusion of a top and a bottom or in essence dividing the body! This is very smart because nobody should like like one big shapeless blob, hence dividing your body into separate sections that suit you the best depending on your body shape. Next, I love the neutral beige color of this dress. Nicole really has one of the best skin tones to pull this off, ideally your skin should be lighter or darker than any flesh tone, you don't want to appear NAKED(or maybe you do, but that's your thing not mine). The dress is adorned with giant sparkle rivets spaced perfectly across the garment creating a print. With all of this sparkle Nic is so wise to not wear any large jewelry, if you notice shes barely wearing any at all(just a few gorgeous rings). Finally, your run of the mill fashion follower would probably pair this dress with nude, black or another neutral shoe, not Nic! Nicole rocks turquoise snake skin pumps, which maybe a risk for some but just another skip threw the park for Nicole! Not to mention snake skin is a huge trend right now, classier than zebra, more refined than leopard, basically the best new neutral! It would only be fitting a fashion judge rock the best outfits but Nic doesn't play it safe, she continues to dance to her own chic drummer, perhaps played by her musician hubby?

This next outfit only Nicole Richie could ensemble. The the average girl this outfit seems straight forward but Nic truly creates layers of unexpected cool. First and foremost only Nicole Richie could take polka dots which would stir up feelings of girly-ness, youth, perhaps tea parties and Minnie mouse, and turn them into edgy, rock and roll. From head to toe Miss Richie starts when an appropriate topper! I am loving the red hat, it could appear costume-y with the wrong outfit but Nic does it right. Paired with layered chic jewelry, quite possibly mixing her own line with other designers. Nic wears a staple black blazer over a polka dot tunic, making her layering seem effortless. Finally, Miss Richie rocks some black skinnies, and personally I can't tell if they are a leather or wax coated denim. Regardless, they give off a rocker vibe that is unexpected with a polka dot top. Minimal color provides drastic contrast and really allows the red hat to pop. Overall, one of the coolest outfits to pick apart, Rock on Miss Richie!

Thankful for Fashion

Considering last Thursday was thanksgiving I wasn’t out gallivanting around town per usual, so I decided to give thanks to one of my favorite style icons Nicole Richie. Home girl has mastered the whole boho look and I love that no matter what trend or style she is working she never strays too far from her own personal style. True most outfits look incredible on her because of her slim frame and gorgeous skin tone but Nic Richie has style tips everyone can use. For example she’s never afraid to layer and look, from cardigans, scarf’s or silk jackets from her own Winter Kate line. Also, I really like Nicole recycles pieces from one outfit to create another look. This is something us non-celeb millionaires do all the time but when Nicole Richie does it, it makes her style seem accessible and maintainable by the average Jane. With Nicole Richie there are tons of outfits and style statements to pick from but I chose this particular outfit because it speaks to her chic everyday look. This outfit is great for a couple of different reasons, first the scarf. The print is awesome and I know she’ll re-wear it has a headscarf or with another outfit. Also, without the scarf the outfit is pretty plain. That being said all of the “plain” pieces are great staples. A gray cardigan, fitted white knit tee, black skinnies and black flats are pretty much essentials that should be in every woman’s closet. Why? Well cardigans can be reworked and re-worn with jeans, skirts or dresses and are great layering pieces. They can break up an outfit or help a summer dress transition into fall. White tee no brainer. Black skinnies are like regular skinnies except extra flattering in black and black flats go with pretty much everything. For example Nic could switch out the scarf and cardigan for a Winter Kate silk jacket for a totally different feel. I feel like that was barely scratching the surface of why Nicole Richie is wonderful. So this past Thursday among the many fabulous things I am thankful for Nicole Richie! Congrats you made the blog, get it girl!
