Celebrity Style Steal & WIWT

So for this month's celebrity style steal as soon as I saw this picture I just knew I had to steal Naomi Watt's style.  This for me encompasses everything that is 'effortless style' - chic, understated & quite simply timeless.  




I must admit that until I saw this outfit I would have turned my nose up at this length of culottes as they'd have seemed a bit to middle aged but Naomi certainly rocks the look!  Which of course has got me thinking....so without further ado here's how I'd recreate the look with finds from the high street.

Starting with the all important & timeless panama, now I have actually purchased this hat despite the fact I already own a panama as it's a beaut, totally stunning & for the price (only £7.99) it would have quite frankly been rude not to!  Plus of course I don't have to worry about being precious with it & can easily sling it in the suitcase for our hols!






Next up is this sleeveless top from Zara.  Now I haven't seen this in store but if it's the same one as a top I brought in January then it's a stunner (& I 'may' have brought it in the light pink at the time too!!).  A great timeless top that can so easily be dressed up or down, not to mention layered under one of my many jackets & of course it would be just perfect for recreating this look.






Moving onto the culottes now & if you're brave enough to recreate this look exactly then these palazzo trousers from Mango would be ideal.  






Personally I'm not sure I would get a huge heap of wear from such a length of trouser, unless of course we're in for wall to wall sunshine this summer so would be more tempted by these linen blend trousers also from Mango, which finish on the ankle bone so a much more classic, versatile & easy look to pull off.






Finally I know Naomi's barefoot but unless you're only planning on walking on the beach then you're going to need to wear some shoes with this outfit.  Personally I'd go for something very simple & un-distracting from the look like these strappy toe thongs from Next.





So there you have it my style steal from the high street perfect for timeless & effortless glamour, sunny, lazy days......now all we need is the sun!!

Finally here's what I'm wearing today.




Top - Tesco
Scarf - Zara
Jacket - H&M
Jeans - Zara
Pointed Slingbacks - Next


Shop my style.


Greys & Pinks


Camisole - New Look £12.99
Scarf - Mango £14.99
Jacket - Next £100
Jeans - Next £32
Pointed Slingbacks - Next £26


So what do you think?  Do you agree that sometimes less is simply more?  After all if you have style then why throw loads of accessories at it.  Sometimes it's best to let the clothes do the talking & for me Naomi's outfit does it perfectly!

Have a fab day & see you tomorrow.

  3. I think you should get the cropped trouser, the full length wouldn't look as good. I have my eye on the Panama hat! x

  5. A great relaxed outfit! Less is definitely more. As I travel a lot (between Finland and Britain) I find it's just easier to deal with less clothes. Whatever I need is usually in the wrong country anyway, might as well learn to make do with less...

    1. Hi Tina, gosh not sure I'd like travelling lots as I always seem to regret not taking things I'd thought about taking but leaving behind!!! Although like you say you the less you take the easier it is....less packing/unpacking not to mention washing!!!

  7. I always feel a surge of adrenalin when I hear that a celebrity’s life is in tatters or that they have committed an awkward offence.
