Charlotte Olympia Heels

Speaking of Charlotte Olympia… she seems to have her heels on everyone’s feet! Loved by many of the world’s most fashion conscious celebrities, Charlotte Olympia heels are sexy, sophisticated and ever-so-chic!  (pictured right)

London IT girl, Charlotte Olympia Dellal launched her label in 2006. Inspired by the glamour of the 40’s and 50’s; her designs are known for their use of block colour and Perspex heels. Her signature spider’s web adorns each pair.

With fans including the very fashionable likes of; Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, Olivia Palermo, Emma Watson and more; Charlotte Olympia heels will definitely make a statement!

My favourites: The Charlotte Olympia Paloma pumps which feature a divine pleated ruffle on the back. Olivia Palermo has Paloma pumps in the several different colours! I think my favourite is the red! Below are some of Charlotte Olympia’s fans wearing her killer heels…

Chic This Week

The Best Dressed Ladies Of The Week Are…

Kate Bosworth, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester & Kylie Minogue all stepped out looking stunning this week in some of my favourite designer looks from the Spring / Summer 11 & Autumn / Winter 10 collections! 

The looks on the catwalk…

1>> Kate Bosworth looked divine in an Erdem Spring / Summer 2011 look. The white lace and red embroidered flowers are sophisticated, feminine and simply perfect!

2>> Meanwhile, Blake Lively was style personified in Versace. This Gossip Girl’s fashion style is continually evolving and I am loving her red carpet looks of late.

3>> While in Madrid for ‘Herbal Essences’; another Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester, wore a black dress from the Versus Autumn / Winter 2010 collection. A classic little black dress at it’s best!

4>> And finally, Kylie Minogue performed at the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade wearing a look from the Chanel Fall 2010 collection. The tweed coat with faux fur trims looks delightfully warm yet oh-so chic!
