Accessories Trends of the Rich and Infamous!

You've just got to love those less-than-law abiding celebrities! Britney Spears related drama has reached a fever pitch this week, clogging our beloved blogosphere more than holiday indulgences have clogged our arteries. While we will spare you the regurgitation of the hot-off-the-press news from gossip blogs that we check at least once (ok maybe more than once) a day,   we will take this time to update you on the fashions of the rich and infamous.  This edition of the LupRocks blog offers the hottest trends in celebrity In-Court accessories.

While her fashions for her court-ordered community service were more than questionable, we've gotta hand it to her for attempting to tone it down a bit during her trial.  Still, we've gotta say, we love the bracelets and the rectangular sunglasses add a nice, in-cognito touch.

Praise be to Paris' stylist!  Dressed actually tastefully for once, Paris Hilton sports an homage to our favorite In-Court fashionista Winona Ryder, rocking a very similar navy headband that the movie star wore in her appearance.

You can't have Paris without Nicole!  Here's a pregnant Nicole Richie ready to dominate the courtroom, clad in all black.  We're fans of her sky-high Christian Louboutin heels and her Oliver Peoples sunglasses.

The pioneer of in-court style herself, Winona was quite the trendmaker during her trial by consistently wearing designer duds, most specifically those from mega designer Marc Jacobs.  We think the sleek headband and coquettish pair of Marc Jacobs heels, proudly proclaim innocence.  Too bad the court didn't think so.

Pirate’s Bootie

With Fall upon us, our inner fashionista is dying to bring out the fabulous boot collection we've acquired over the years, but unseasonably warm temperatures make the boot a liability.  The have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too solution is the bootie, the season's must-have accessory that gives the look and feel of a boot, but with a little breathing room for your gams.

            

                                                

For those of you too intimidated to take on this great look - scared you will look like Jack the Pirate or your grandma in her orthopedic lace-ups - here are a few helpful hints:

Pair with mini-dresses, short skirts, or skinny jeans, and choose booties made of leather, patent-leather, or suede.  We like Ralph Lauren’s black Dillynn calfskin bootie, with a seductive high heal, and a perfect size black bow.  For the rocker girl in you, go for Manolo Blahnik’s suede Hair-Calf Ankle Boot with two big buckles – none resembling that of captain hook – these are great with super short minis, and come in fab fall colors.  And of course – Christian Louboutin’s Miss Fred is the perfect patent-leather version of this fall must have.  For the classic girl, Burberry’s more original Victorian Bootie with a thin lace up, spiked high heal, and glossy patent leather shine will prove you are perfectly en vogue.
