OMG It’s The Hill’s Finale!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

After six seasons of drama the cast of The Hills gathered last night to say goodbye during a live screening of the hit reality show’s shocking finale. We love a celeb style spot at Designer Desirables and the stars of the glossiest and most glamorous reality TV show on the box did not disappoint. The invitation for the ladies attending last night’s live finale party must have read something like, “Wear the shortest, tightest, sexiest cocktail dress you can find.” And they certainly delivered. HOTNESS.

It’s that time of year again in the North East when the Northumberland Plate Festival is upon us. And aside from a sudden (male) preoccupation with horses and the flurry of bets, there is some fabulous hats and attention seeking fashion to contend with too.
Designer Desirables spotted many an outfit from our collection of luxurious events dresses at Northumberland Plate day on its most fashionable day of the year, Ladies Day. It was all about bright and bold colours, beautiful textures and we saw a move towards more substantial hats as opposed to the fascinator -see all the best dressed race-goers in our hottest styles from the day.

It’s the moment all us shoe lovers have been gagging for: the release of the new ‘Sex And The City’ movie! While the designer desirables office wait with baited breath, clutching our new ensembles for our own girlie viewing of the fashion rollercoaster that is SATC2 (today’s the day peeps!), we can satisfy our hungry eyes with some of the pics from the New York and London premieres to get us well and truly prepped for tonight! I have actual butterflies.

Woweees. The world premiere of the Sex And The City 2 movie was of course in the big apple, and as you can imagine, it pretty much brought New York to a standstill, with SATC fans lining the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the girls arrival at the NYC’s famous Radio City Music Hall.
