Steal Naomi Watts' Style

elle.com.au
Naomi Watts' perfectly casual style, pictured above, is easy for anyone to replicate. 

Take a classic stripped t-shirt, a pair of casual jeans, and add your preferred accessories. In this case a hat and brown sandals.
If you'd like to add a bit of colour, add a belt in maybe yellow, pink, or blue.

Below are similar pieces you can purchase online by clicking the link, or by going in store.

How to Decipher Your Body Shape



Most of you would be familiar with the above body shapes, but how many of you know which body shape your body falls into? 

Before you can begin dressing for your body shape you need to be able to understand your body's shape. 

The following characteristics should be able to help:


Hourglass
  • shoulders and hips are at equal or similar widths 
  • defined (small) waist
  • weight is even throughout the body
Celebrity Hourglass: Scarlett Johansson


Apple (also known as oval)
  • shoulders, bust and hips are usually similar in measurements 
  • little to no waist line
  • weight is usually carried in the tummy area
  • usually have great, thin legs
Celebrity Apple: Kelly Osbourne


Pear (also known as triangle)
  • hips are wider than the shoulders
  • usually a small waist
  • weight is usually carried in the thigh and bum area
Celebrity Pear: Jennifer Lopez


Inverted Triangle (also known as cone)
  • shoulders are wider than hips
  • little to no waist line
  • bust is usually large
  • hips are small
Celebrity Inverted Triangle: Michelle Williams


Lean Column
  • shoulder and hips are equal or similar widths
  • little to no waist line or curves
  • long legs, tall, and lean
Celebrity Column: Nicole Kidman


Rectangle (also known as 'H')
  • shoulders and hips are equal or similar widths
  • little to no waist line or curves
  • similar to the Column shape, but usually not as tall and lean
Celebrity Rectangle: Cameron Diaz


If, after reading through the above body shape characteristics, you're still unsure which body shape you fall into try standing in front of a full length mirror in your underwear to get a good look at your body's proportions.

It is important to remember that you may fall into more than one body shape. If so, this will need to be taken into consideration when dressing for your body shape.

Coachella 2013 -The Trends

It's hard to believe that Coachella, a music festival in California, is in fact a music festival. It seems that Coachella has become quite the fashion show. The past two scorching hot weekends saw festival goers in anything from short shorts to maxi dresses, crop tops, prints, wide leg pants, and it wasn't a surprise that hats and statement sunglasses were a top trend.

The statement sunnies would have to be my favourite trend from Coachella 2013. I'm still undecided whether or not I like the crop top trend but, hey, if there's one place crop tops and belly buttons are acceptable it is at a music festival!

What was your favourite trend?
