BEST PARTY ACCESSORY

Posted Jan 03 2011 @ 10:37 PM

Staying cozy amidst LA's rainy weather, Ashlee Simpson shops at a vintage clothing store in West Hollywood with Bronx and mama Tina Simpson on December 22. The Simpson ladies browsed the racks while Bronz amused himself with a coloring book in the center of the store, picking up a few last minute gifts just before the holiday. Ash did her shopping in a chunky oversized animal spotted sweater (get the look with JET by John Eshaya's V Neck Zebra Top in Zebra or bundle up in a cozy knit like Ella Moss' Nikita Sparkle Sweater in Black) with smoky leggings (try Tag Jeans' Mulholland Skinny in Charcoal as an alternative to your everyday black jegging) and black boots (like Farylrobin's Lance Knee-High Boot in Black). Ashlee completed the look with a sable old-fashioned cap (check out Rails' boyish Herringbone Hat in Mocha), wearing a pretty gold wire ring on her middle finger (like Ariel Gordon's 14K Rose Cut Ring in Iolite). What do you think of Ashlee's bold style here, are you a fan of the animal print? After spending the Christmas holiday at home in LA, Ash and Pete jetted off to Chicago for the weekend, where Pete hosted and DJ'd the "Cirac the New Year 2011" celebration at the Hard Rock Hotel. In an E! interview, Pete was asked what his party secret is, to which he replied: “Usually the best thing I bring to the party is my wife. She always makes parties more fun for me." Awww! Did any of you readers attend any memorable parties this holiday?
