Anne Hathaway vs. Jennifer Connelly – Who wore Stella McCartney Better?

Profashionelle — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 02:00:50 +0000

Anne Hathaway was the first to wear a gorgeous beige Stella McCartney military coat when she was out and about in New York on January 5th, 2009 promoting her new movie Bride Wars. Anne wore the coat twice that day, before and after the taping of “The Early Show“.

Jennifer Connelly followed to wear the same coat while shooting a commercial for Revlon on January 23rd, 2009. The actress wore the coat with black pants and a black large tote.

Victoria Beckham wore the same coat in a darker color back in November 2008.

Love at First Sight – Givenchy Pink Cut-out Shoe Boots

Profashionelle — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:30:56 +0000

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. I’ve been wanting these gorgeous pink Givenchy shoes since I first saw them featured on NET-A-PORTER‘s magazine several months ago. Finally, they arrived and are up for sale now. The cut-outs remind me of butterfly wings and everyone knows I’m a sucker for pink shoes. Love at first sight!

Givenchy Cut-out shoe boots
($785, NET-A-PORTER)

These stand out shoes will look gorgeous with a black LBD or a nice tailored suit, but if you want to wear them with anything other than black or white, why not go for something blue? As you can see below both colors compliment each other and look divine together.

Other colors you can wear with these shoes which would look lovely together are purple and yellow. Colors to avoid mixing with pink are red and orange. Also, don’t go head-to-toe pink, this would make every woman look girlish and Barbie obsessed.
