Here are my top selections of my Best Dressed celebs from Grazia's ' This Week's Best Dressed'

Bella Thorne - looking oh so chic in her Katie Ermilio two piece. She looks flawless rocking the crop trend with her peplum maxi skirt, its all very vintage looking, which of course, I love!

Nicole Kidman looks lovely in her lavender Pucci embellished dress

There has been huge controversy over Gwyneth Paltrow's choice of her futuristic Antonio Berardi dress, some saying it was too daring, well, i think she looks simply stunning! It's nice to see celebs being adventurous in their clothing choices for the red carpet, at times, they can tend to morph into each other. Gwyneth loves a little peek-a-booand she has that amazing body to pull it off, so, why not?!!

Kate Hudson looks very relaxed and comfortable in her black leather skit and top combo paired with a injection on hot pink shoes - perfection

Kourtney Kardashian, is by far the best dressed out of the three older Kardashian sisters. Here, in her purple croc leather dress, she looks sophisticated and cool. She seems as though she hasn't tried too hard, with her casual up-do and nude pointed shoes. She looks stunning, her post baby bod is amazing!

Sarah Jessica Parker is the queen of casual New York dressing (oh and also glam dressing). Here she tries out her best acting skills, flagging a taxi while totally posing! You gotta lover her. I adore her cream buckle boots, metallic jacket and bed-head hair. Casual yet still oh so put together dressing (see the matching bag strap to her metallic jacket): street-style.

Alessandra Ambrosio is definitely giving SJP a run for her money in the street-style dressing front. Except, Alessandra has the warm LA streets to accompany her relaxed dress code of bang-on-trend dip-dye shirt and statement handbag. Perfect for a stroll in the sun.

I have done a lot of on-line shopping this week, not good for my bank balance, but very good for my upcoming holiday! Below are a few things that i have seen this week that have caught my eye for one reason or another. I literally need to order these silver flatforms from Miss Guided right now!

How cute is this jewelled and cotton bracelet from Mango, another holiday essential

To say that i am obsessed with Gabrielle Chanel aka Coco Chanel, is a huge understatement. I have read my favourite biography about her life, I think about 30+ times! She was so intriguing and her life was very eventful. So I was very pleased to see this clip released of Keira Knightley chanelling Coco Chanel's life in Karl Largerfeld's short film, 'Once Upon a Time' - cannot wait to see it in full

Also on my 'Must See' list is the hugely anticipated movie 'The Great Gatsby.' Obviously for the story....but, mainly for the FASHION! I mean, check out Carey Mulligan sporting this specially made flapper style headband by iconic brand Tiffany & Co. Hi 1920s fashion trend....

Poppy Delevingne's little sister, Cara Delevingne, is continuing to be THE model of the moment, but Poppy has been stealing the limelight in her Vogue's 'Today I'm Wearing' April style diary. This is my favourite look of her April diary - love those blue split hem trousers and oh so on trend snakeskin shoes :)

Last week was very eventful with work, eating out, seeing friends and my boyfriend and squeezing in a Vintage Buying trip :)
