Kristin Loves Myne!

2010-04-01T01:29:00.000-07:00

Just spotted Kristin Cavallari in this fab little number from Myne!

The Hills star rocked this Myne Evan Top pairing it with a pair of denim shorts and YSL heels. I think this top would also look great with a pair of skinny jeans and flats or easily dressed up with a pair of heels.

Brianna Brown in Laila Azhar at the OK Pre Oscar Party

2010-03-18T19:28:00.000-07:00

It was our pleasure to recently help Brianna from the tv show General Hospital pick out a dress for the OK Magazine Pre-Oscar party. I think you will agree she looks fabulous! I think the color of the dress really compliments her skin tone. Brianna is wearing our Laila Azhar asymmetrical drape dress and a Twenty Two Vintage bracelet which is one of a kind from Paris.

How to Fly in Style

2010-02-17T15:49:00.000-08:00

In the early days of flying boarding a plane was a privilege and usually reserved for the rich and famous. Men wore suits and the woman, beautiful dresses.

Victoria and David Beckham are always impeccably turned out but for the rest of us it is a much more exhausting process. Maybe it's the extra security check points, customs and immigration or just all the waiting. They all take their toll but whatever class you travel in, deciding on that perfect assemble can be a mine field and comfort is key.

I frequently fly in and out of Europe and know those what to wear travel dilemmas all to well. I fly to New York this weekend and that's what gave me this idea for our blog :)

Here are my 4 Flying in Style fashion tips:

1) Layers

Layers are extremely important when flying as temperatures change frequently. Countless times I find myself at airports hot as can be running from one side to another trying to catch a flight...anyone flown from T5 at Heathrow? You'll know what I mean if you have. Yet, in 5 minutes time of stepping foot on the plane I find myself shivering under the air conditioning which is oh so perfectly placed above my head! In this case, one of my favourite layering items has to be my luxurious Chan Luu Cashmere scarf ($195-$245). It comes in just about every color imaginable as well as a variety of prints and patterns. It is so useful as it can double up as a blanket or pillow.

2) Slip-on Shoes!

Most airport security check points now require you to remove footwear. I usually opt for a ballet pump or a flat slip on boot because trying to lace up anything can be a nightmare with the 100 people in line behind you staring on. As you can see previously in the images above Lauren Conrad and Sienna Miller agree and do the same.

3) Comfort

In Winter I usually opt for a jersey legging like our LnA Olivia, or I wear my Hello Skinny Jeans in Dark. They are a stretch jean and hold their shape well. I would never recommend a white jean as no matter how careful I am I am bound to spill something and ruin them. Now in Summer months I will definitely be sporting one of our divine Ducie dresses. Even after a 12 hour flight the dresses still look fabulous and fresh.

4) My final Flying in Style tip would be a pair of sunglasses and large tote bag

Carrying a big tote is incredibly useful for all of your items. I usually keep miniature items of make up to freshen up as I land, jogging pants in case I want to change, my essential fashion magazines and a large bottle of water to keep myself hydrated. As you head for your taxi grab those sunglasses and look effortlessly stylish no matter how tired you are!

Make-up and skin care tips to follow.

Happy Travels! :)

Big date, big night but what to wear!

2010-02-12T10:26:00.000-08:00

Big Date, Big Night but what should you wear this Valentines Day?!? We have raided our racks to find the perfect outfits whether you are on a girls night out or needing to find the dress that will knock his socks off and regardless of your budget.

Date With The Girls:

Up until I met my new BF all my best Valentine's had been as a single girl. Here are my top picks for a night of fun with the ladies in your life! If this stunning Kova & T dress ($517) is good enough for Megan fox it's good enough for us! The leather bodice makes it unique and of course sexy! Alternatively, this new arrival from Camilla and Marc ($431) is also the perfect dress for a night with the girls! We love the gold zips throughout making it stand out from the other black dresses currently in your closet.

Dinner Date:

This flirty little number from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent ($297) is sure to distract him from his overpriced pre-set menu dinner! Try accessorizing it with a patent belt and pumps to complete a stunning look

Feeling Bold:

If your perfect date is sipping Champagne at a swanky bar uptown then this is just the dress for you. Kristin Cavallari wore her Laila Azhar dress just perfectly. Was $368 Now $269

Casual Movie and Late dinner?

Dress up a pair of skinny jeans with this Mason by Michelle Mason camisole ($231) and Myne Charlie Blazer ($220)

Here at Catch HQ our team of stylists have picked a few key investment pieces that we think will work perfectly in your closet .

It should be soft, fitted and not longer than your hips.
This Mike and Chris leather pictured below looks fabulous with a pair of jeans and a simple top. We love the fact that the hood is detachable making the jacket much more versatile, perfect to throw on over that party dress!

Dresses

Angelina rocked the red carpet in a full leather fitted dress but if you are not careful this could make you look like a hit-woman. We think the style-savvy will love this Kova & T Lila Dress. This dress is irresistible and super sexy. Complete your look effortlessly with a pair of sharp stilettos, tousled hair and a slick of eye liner

Jamie Pressly @ Catch Launch Party

2009-05-14T23:30:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome to our first official Catch Boutique post :)

This is the first of many postings so I wanted to start by uploading a couple pictures from the Launch Party for you all to see. There are heaps so keep checking back as I will keep adding.

Jamie Pressly has just recently been spotted out with her gorgeous son Dezi wearing one of the pieces she recently bought from Catch! (Jenny Han Maxi Tube Dress) :)

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved that helped us put together such an awesome launch event. It turned out to be an amazing night and we couldn't have done it without all of our friends and loved ones!

I personally would like to give a huge shout out of thanks to my Mum and Dad because if it weren't them Catch Boutique would not exist. I am pretty sure when they agreed to fly out to LA for the launch party neither of them imagined what would be in store. Driving hedges across LA in a big rig, eating Mcdonalds literally every day for lunch, missing out on bronzing by the pool and driving a car full of mannequin arms, legs, and heads everywhere were just a few of the things we roped them into. Diana, Matt's mum has been helping us from the start too and was a major trooper when filling all the goodie bags for everyone. She has been a huge support for us as well as being a fabulous chauffer to top it all off!

Thank you everyone...I know my list of people to thank will continue to grow!
