CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG:
REESE HAS A PAPARAZZI FREAK OUT

Reese Witherspoon was spotted shopping at the Ruby Slipper, a children's shoe store, in Brentwood, with her tiny tots Deacon and Ava, and has apparently reached her wits end when it comes to dealing with the paparazzi. Looking cute in a grey cardigan, a white cami, skinny jeans and gold flats, it seems that Reese was in no mood to have her picture taken. With little Ava shielding her eyes from the razzi's flashes, Deacon looks understandably frightened, which is obviously why Reese is tearing the photogs a new one. As someone who goes to great lengths to shield her children from the spotlight and maintain a certain sense of privacy, I can totally understand why Reese's rope finally snapped. With all the rumors swirling about her and Jake Gyllenhaal, she's been in the tabloids more than usual following her split, so the paparazzi's attention has been super focused on Reese lately. They're probably going to start making "Leave Reese Alone" shirts now, like the "Free Paris" shirts that have been pushed into production!

Golden Girls

Part Grecian goddess, mostly Dancing Disco Queen, as I scoured London nightlife snaps, three golden girls appeared (perhaps cooler than the old ones). Call it geographic fashion synchronicity or scenester trending, but the gold band seems to be popping up all over the global style chart seemingly at once. These fresh lil British party girls are rocking the Bling harder than Kanye at a Lagerfeld show, and quite frankly, I love it.

Go ahead, snag their look, unless you're across the pond you won't be blamed for copycatting. Better yet put your own spin on this golden thread by braiding gilded ribbon with jersey knit strips a'la American Apparel braided belt. You don't want to give them eight more dollars anyways. Let's take a look at these dancing queens:

  • Golden Girl #1: She's going for the Grecian, multi-tiered gold ribbon. Very cute.
  • Golden Girl #2: Using a spare gold chain has the same effect but perhaps a bit edgier, more hip-hop. Super Fly.
  • Golden Girl #3: Brilliant! This is like futuristic Balenciaga action! Amazingly creative, she managed to weave a shiny band across her standard-issue hipster bangs only. So incredibly unexpected!
