Celebrity Redo: Britney Spears

Either Britney doesn’t have a stylist or she shares the same one with Jessica Simpson! While she exudes that perfect blend of adorable and sexy, it’s hard not to be mean when it comes to her sense of style (and being mean is just not my style!). So, I’ll just get right to the redo. I switched her shorts for white skinny jeans and added a plaid jacket to maintain a theme for the outfit. To round things out I gave her some pumps and a funky clutch. Best thing about the outfit is that it’s all under $100! What do you think of Britney’s fashion sense? How would you have dressed her?

Lauren looking chic in a leather skirt, sheer blouse and scarf. I decided to pick some pricier pieces (like the top and the clutch) because they offer mileage. You can wear the top with just about anything and the clutch is not only perfect year round, but it will give any outfit a pop of color. Get Lauren’s look for less!

Contest Update: Win A Free Clutch By Third Willow

Filed under Accessories
Update: The winner of the Etsy Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch is carlyjcais with the following comment: “ What lovely clutches! I’d choose Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch from The Conservatory Collection (the black pattern with the yellow ribbon accent). I’d pair it with this cool pair of 80’s pleat-front pants I picked up at Goodwill (cuffed, of course), a pair of platform strappy black sandals, a cream blazer with DIY gold studding on the lapel, a double-wrap black belt with tiny gold stud detailing, and a dangly feather earrings made of black-and-white partridge feathers and dyed long yellow rooster feathers (to pick up the beautiful yellow in the clutch). Plus some chunky bangles, and some long necklaces over a white tank underneath. Black, white and yellow – perfect!”
Congratulations Carly and a big thank you to all of you who participated!
Etsy has a treasure trove of creative souls and I recently stumbled upon an incredibly talented indie designer with a shop called Third Willow. Third Willow has graciously offered one lucky Fashiongrail devotee a remarkable handcrafted and vintage inspired pierce: Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch. The contest will run from Monday, June 8 to Friday June 12 winner will be selected on Saturday, June 13.
How to Play: Go to Third Willow and pick your favorite clutch. Return to Fashiongrail and leave a comment to the following question: “What would you wear it with?” Make sure you name the clutch you picked! The most creative answer will win! Have fun and good luck!
Product Description: Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch in gray-green cotton fabric with a printed tweed pattern has ruffled detail and saddle brown, croc embossed leather ribbon accenting, and is lined in lustrous, black taffeta with interfacing added for structure and support. Bag is approximately 11″ wide at the base with an 11” opening x 5” tall x 1″ deep (when filled). The flap closure of the bag covers the entire opening of the clutch. The clutch closure also includes a silver magnetic snap. This is a great clutch for lunch with the girls, but just sassy enough for nights out dancing. Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch is also formal enough for weddings and proms. It’s the perfect accessory to go with the perfect little cocktail dress or a great pair of jeans and heels! Interior of bag has three generous sized pockets for cell phones, ipods, make-up, keys, or anything else you may need to find quickly in your handbag!

Celebrity Redo: Kate Bosworth

I’m sure Kate Bosworth could wear a paper bag and still look gorgeous, but this particular outfit (although cute and quirky) seemed to beg for a little “oomph!” First step: I decided to stay within the same color family, but switch it up by adding a white crew neck sweater over a black button down ( I LOVE THAT COMBO!). Next: The bulky bag wasn’t working for me, so I replaced it with a clutch. Lastly, I found a gorgeous bow back skirt, which really adds a lot of character to the outfit. When it came down to the shoes and footless tights, I just went with it simply because I liked it (but the ensemble would look just as good without them). Don’t forget, every piece in this outfit can be broken down and worn with just about anything in your closet: The skirt could be worn with a cropped blazer to work; the sweater with a pair of jeans for a casual luncheon, or the black button-down with a pair of black slacks for a chic evening get-together.
