One of the best things about glittery A-list events such as the annual Venice Film Festival is that we get to drool over all the stars’ red carpet outfits – and their off duty ones too. We were particularly taken with a snap we saw of Keira Knightley in a sweet, smart-casual navy blue shirt dress – oh so chic and ladylike. We love love love.

The 40s-style dress worked perfectly with Keira’s slender figure and cropped wavy bob. She looked like an old Hollywood star out on her way to lunch somewhere glamorous. The star teamed the classic, full-skirted shirt dress with leather accessories for an understated look, cinching the dress in at the waist with a skinny tan belt and fringed brown leather loafer heels by way of chic footwear. Rounding off the look was a simple gold necklace and some vintage-look sunglasses. Perfection!

We had a sly little looksie for pieces on the high street that you can find to copy Keira’s style – we’re completely in love with Jaeger’s quirky umbrella-print shirt dress which has a similar classic, ladylike vibe to Keira’s dress. We were also pleased to find a pair of tan loafer heels at River Island that are almost identical to the actress’ – get to the gallery above right now and check it out.

Asos Marketplace highlights: Never Fully Dressed

By Andrea Petrou on January 28th, 2011

By Emily Borrett.

We at ShinyStyle can’t quite believe that we haven’t yet written anything about the new marketplace feature on online shopping superstore Asos.com. The basis behind Asos Marketplace is similar to that of Ebay or Etsy – put up your own fashion pieces for sale, with photographs and descriptions, and see if anyone bites. The difference between Marketplace and Ebay, though, is that Marketplace doesn’t leave you scrolling through pages and pages of crap from New Look in the early noughties just to find a pair of shoes that you think are sort of okay – designed and sold by young, fashion-conscious people, absolutely every piece sold on Marketplace is fashion gold.

Today we’re going to look at the online boutique store Never Fully Dressed, which specialises in sheer, floaty pieces that manage to be both pretty and edgy at the same time. Still hankering after one of the see-through, high-necked blouses that so many London girls favour at the moment, but don’t know where to get one? Never Fully Dressed sell a gorgeous one in assorted colours for under forty pounds – bargain. The boutique is choc-a-bloc full of separates and cool basics that will be amazing new must-haves for your spring wardrobe, and look great on a night out or dressed down with leggings and boots. Check the gallery below for our favourite items.

How gorgeous is this shirt dress? It would look dreamy with a pair of heels or toughened up with some biker boots.
