Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

The VERY best dressed celebs of the week... including an ex-Hollyoaks actress and pregnant Ciara

best dressed celebrities this weekI've noticed something about these round up posts I do... most of them feature at least one celebrity in trousers. Time and time again I've expressed my undying love for women in trouser suits. I've done countless posts on the subject. I just think the silhouette exudes power and strength, and here, on Monday night in France at the Captain America premiere, Scarlett Johansson demonstrated it perfectly with this red and black pre-fall 2014 Michael Kors trouser suit. The heels are spot on, and who would even know she's preggers?? Amazing.I'm still trying to get my head around that that there is Nathalie Emmanuel, who used to play Sasha in Hollyoaks, and is now a lead in Game of Thrones. I used to watch her everyday. Look at how she has blossomed! So if there's one look I love more than a trouser suit, it's a long half skirt or train over trousers (see Giambattista Valli's couture collection from a few seasons ago). Nathalie's jumpsuit is by Georges Chakra, his Spring 2013 couture collection. Don't love the shoes with it - a lighter option would have been better - but over all, LOVE!From one extreme to the other with pregnant ladies - Ciara wore this gorgeous printed Etro kaftan for a day out shopping in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. Pre-baby, she loved nothing more than to strap herself up in a skin-tight dress, but avec bump she has chosen the floaty route. Love the colours on this, and the print.And lastly, someone who I never thought I'd talk about on here, Danielle Lineker. I thought this blog was reserved for one WAG only, Victoria Beckham, but I just couldn't not talk about Danielle's uber amazing Emilia Wickstead piano print shirt dress. I went back and forth deciding whether to include her, and so glad I did. This is a pretty special wardrobe piece, from a pretty special designer, and looks great on Danielle. Wouldn't mind wearing this myself (with jeans maybe?).
