Standing out among the fashion crowd can be a tricky task, yet celebrities and starlets often manage to be one step ahead with stand-out looks. Watch the red carpets and gossip mags closely for the latest fashion must haves, and get them before the rest of the world realises!
Unusual handbags are a great way to stand out, and those in the know make sure that their choice of accessory is as well thought-out as the rest of the outfit. In fact, an unusual handbag can often be the star of the show – the part of the outfit that really grabs attention.
While red carpet starlets rarely shy away from attention grabbing outfits, it’s far easier for us mere mortals to brave a bold handbag than an outlandish top to toe ensemble. Even a simple outfit can be transformed into something red carpet worthy with the right bag, so don’t be scared to emulate your favourite stars and their daring arm candy of choice.
The Book Bag
The book handbag is a quirky red carpet choice, as carried by French fashion darling Clemence Poesy, Black Swan actress Natalie Portman and edgy Michelle Williams. These clutches are designed to look like you’ve just paid a trip to the local library, with our fashion favourites clutching their ‘copies’ of La Belle et la Bete, Lolita and The Catcher in the Rye respectively.
Show off your intelligent side as well as your fashionable side with a book clutch and you’ll be in great red carpet company.
The Lips Bag
The Lips Bag has been seen clutched by many a fashionista including young starlet Katy Perry, supermodel Agyness Deyn and quirky actress Helena Boham Carter. Other huge names loving this flirty handbag include Christina Aguilera, Daisy Lowe, Florence Welch and more.
Beautifully conveying that typically tongue- in- cheek British sense of humour, the original Lips handbag by Lulu Guinness launched in 2004. Since then, while fashion fads have come and gone, the Lips handbag continues to go strong. So strong, in fact, that the range has now been expanded to include over 20 different designs, such as metallic snakeskin, studded, glitter, Swarovski embellished, perspex and more.
Numerous copycat designs have been spawned, so even those without the celebrity bank balance can still get their own version of this iconic handbag.
The Bicycle Bag
While red-carpet looks are great for a big night out, you can still inject celebrity style into your daytime look. Old school bicycles have never been more popular, with starlets the world over shunning their chauffer driven cars to take to an old-fashioned bike. A listers Kristen Bell, Vanessa Hudgens, Isla Fisher and Kirsten Dunst have all been spotted in LA and New York pedalling away.
Even if you don’t fancy getting on your bike, you can get your bike on your bag with Vendula’s Bicycle Applique handbag design. Featuring a cute, pastel pink bicycle with a basket full of appliqué flowers, this pretty range is perfect for Summer, and the new Gaby round bag style in the Bicycle range adds an extra dimension of vintage chic.
Stay one step ahead of the trends by looking to your favourite starlets and celebrities for inspiration, and inject star style into both your daytime and night-time looks with ease.

Is Pregnancy Lingerie an Oxymoron?
Motherhood can signify a world of changes, and these include changes in appearance. Many women will tell you that after having children they traded polished hairstyles for ponytails, carefully-applied eyeliner for a makeup-free face and high heels for flip flops.
