Archives For November 30, 1999

The twittersphere nearly exploded with CBB hash tags last night. Let’s just say, if it’s not your thing, you’ll probably want to stay away from most social media channels for the next few weeks!

We’re not overly enamoured with it ourselves, but we do like to see who’s going in and what they’re wearing. It wasn’t actually until the main show had finished that we spotted our favourite outfit of the night by far. The gorgeous Emma Willis, presenter of the sister show CBB Bit on the Side, was a vision in red. With its round neck, skater style skirt and bell sleeves, we were instantly in love!

twitter is full of fabulously friendly and knowledgeable tweeters, and no sooner had we put out a plea to know where it was from, did the answer miraculously appear in our newsfeed. The eagled eyed @LovelysVintage told us it was by McQueen, and not only that but it had been seen out and about in the celeb world before!

We can’t find a pic of the gorgeous Emma Willis in it yet, but the dress is Roses Chenille Jacquard Dress by Alexander McQueen. And it get’s better, we’ve found it – and it’s in the sale! MatchesFashion.comhave it for a whopping 30% off…….it’s now only £1,274!

Just a tad out of our price range, so for now we’ll settle for seeing who you think wore it best:

Rebecca Ferguson kept it simple with side swept hair, nude heels and minimal jewellery

Nicole Scherzinger went glam, with a tight braid, some statement earrings and jewelled collar

What do you think of this little beauty? Have you seen any high street versions? If so make sure you share – we promise not to tell anyone!

If you’re now busy looking for other pretty dresses, take a look at LovelysVintageEmporium. Well worth a peek!

Every now and again, we come across something so gorgeous we just have to shout about it! For today’s #WeLove… we want to shout about the Marc by Marc Jacobs Blade Chronograph Watch in Rose. It might not be a beauty product, but it sure is beautiful!

Oversized boyfriend watches have become an overnight sensation with every watch maker and designer creating their own version. Rose is also becoming an increasingly popular shade for women to wear. No doubt because it is very wearable for most skintones, warmer than silver or white gold and more fashionable and flattering than traditional yellow gold. Adding to the luxe feel, in place of a numbered dial, there are crystals instead, which adds a good bit of sparkle without being tacky.

As well as being a beautiful piece of arm candy, the Blade is also a very practical timepiece, it has chronograph and date features, is made of resistant rose steel, is suitable for shallow water swimming (not that we ever would with this beauty on, but it’s nice to know you can!). We also like the fact that even if you’re not wearing any jewellery, you feel like you’ve made an effort when you put this watch on.

You can purchase our favourite timepiece from John Lewis (£259), Selfridges (£259), The Watch Hut (£259) and other stockists.

Marc Jacobs aren’t the only brand with rose gold making an appearance.

Michael Kors is another brand we love and we have our eyes on the Ritz Chrono Bracelet watch in Tri-colour. We love the sturdy boyfriend style again and the mix of silver, gold and rose plated steel means it will match with even more in our jewellery box!

Purchase from Nordstrom from £182.40, and other stockists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The DKNY Ladies White Ceramic RoseGold watch is also beautiful, and we like how we could mix it up with a range of other tones and dress it up or down thanks to the ceramic element.

Purchase from Watchshop from £226, and other stockists.

 

 

 

 

 

If you’ve got a much smaller budget but still like the trend, Next do a great Rose& Silver combo for a very affordable price of £30.
