This news article about todays starlets appreciating 1950′s style has just popped up, featuring a new quote from our Izzy. I don’t know where the quote came from but nevertheless, read on:

1950s Hollywood style appeals to today’s starlets

Fashion is coming full circle with red-carpet starlets ready to embrace the flared skirts, longer hemlines and loads of red lipstick coming their way in the new year. They’re looks that give a wink to Hollywood’s glamorous heyday of the 1950s, and stars far too young to find these styles old are eager to bring them back.

Eva Longoria is into the trend she calls “flirty.”

“I think of great hair,” Longoria said. “The great falls and the red lipstick, and definitely the full skirts. I think it’s flirty. The ’50s are flirty.”

Visions of Americana pop into Isabel Lucas’s head: “I think of the iconic all-American girl with the small waist dresses, and ‘Grease’ with the little ribbons around their neck.”

Maybe she just saw photos of Miuccia Prada’s spring collection, which revved up its runway with inspiration from vintage cars.

Earlier today Isabel attended the opening of the Louis Vuitton Maison Australia in Sydney. She looked striking in a unique half navy-half patterned 3/4 length dress (from the LV Pre-Fall 2011 collection) with strappy black sandal heels and her blonde hair left naturally down. What do you think of this look on Isabel? Isabel posed on the red carpet with LV chairman and CEO Yves Carcelle.

Scroll on down this post for an article with more information on the opening of LV’s new store, and find 11 photos – including 3 HQs – from the event in our Gallery!

Isabel Lucas won’t wear heels unless she is “obliged to”.

The Australian actress has recently been seen making a number of red carpet appearances looking glamorous from head-to-toe.

However, Isabel admits that she prefers to feel comfortable in her everyday clothes.

“I just kinda go, ‘Oh today I feel like this,’ but I know I am more comfortable when I am dressed down,” she said in the UK edition of Glamour magazine. “I won’t wear high heels unless I am obliged to.”

The star first rose to fame in the popular soap operaHome and Away. Since then the 26-year-old has won roles in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and new action movie Immortals.

The former model is always praised for her appearance, but Isabel doesn’t think she’s is worthy of the approval.

“I don’t feel like I deserve any credit because I’m very sort of comme ci comme ca about what I wear,” she confessed.

Ready for more updates? First off, I couldn’t resist adding some more photoshoot additions – these 27 new pics are from another 2008 session, and are one of my absolute favourite shoots of Izzy, and judging by the number of views the photos have had, you all like them too. Izzy looks absolutely stunning, and I love her dramatic make-up in this shoot.

I’ve also been working on some content, although haven’t got as much done as I’d hoped. I’ve added a couple of new 2006 interviews to the Press page, and some more Home & Away related quotes. But more interestingly, I’ve been working on our Style section. I’ve made a start on our Favourite Designers, Labels & Shops page, which will be an original feature detailing Isabel’s favourite designers and labels. It’s not complete yet as I need to do some proper research (know any more of Isabel’s favourites? Let me know!), but we have the main and most recent favourites up, including Arnhem The Label. I love putting together these pages for you, so I hope you’ll all enjoy them just as much!

I have another couple of photoshoot updates for you, and then updates will mostly consist of Style and Home & Away content updates. If you have any requests/suggestions/etc. of things you’d like to see here or things you’d like to see updates of, then just let me know! I’m more than happy to try to fill your requests, as we aim to please here

Upon my searching the other day, not only did I come across the stunning photo posted below, but I also found another completely new photo! It’s a photoshoot image of Isabel wearing feathers made for her by Vera Black’s ‘Chicks Of A Feathers’ range. The label/range was founded in 2011, so presumably the photo was taken this year – it definitely reminds me of her look around the Young Hollywood Awards time back in May. Isabel looks so pretty and natural, and the white feathery top she’s wearing really highlights her beautiful facial features. She looks almost ethereal!

The feathers were made especially for Isabel, as the designer wrote on her Facebook page:

After making feathers for Angus & Julia Stone, Isabel Lucas asked if I would mind making her some pieces….here are some photos of the collection I made especially for her. In my opinion, no one could wear feathers better than she can.

You can find out more about Chicks Of A Feather, plus see all the feathers that were designed for Izzy, at their official Facebook page.

Izzy’s love for these products will be included on another upcoming page in our Style section soon, so you can look forward to that (+ look forward to more photoshoots, too)!

Remember the most recent candids I posted of Isabel, at a market in Byron Bay? Well we have a few more details on them now, and I thought they deserved a separate post. The photos were taken by Byron Bay based designer Arnhem Bickley, who is the creator of Arnhem The Label. Arnhem sent me an email to let me know about this, and also told me that Isabel visits her stall each time she is in Byron Bay, and buys dresses from her. In these photos Isabel is wearing the Ever After Dress In Talia Wild Flower.

Find out more about Arnhem The Label at their official website, arnhemthelabel.com, as well as information on shops that stock the label, and buying her clothes online. I loved browsing her Lookbook, and seeing how many of her dresses are available in the same style but with different patterns. Isabel is wearing one of my favourites dresses from the collection too. You can connect with Arnhem The Label on Facebook. And send them an email if you have any queries etc.

Big thanks again to Arnhem for emailing me this information.

And here’s a link to the photos in our Gallery again:

Hello Isabel fans! I’ve been working hard on our Style section, and this weekend have made a start on the Accessories page. This page is to catalogue all the different accessories Izzy has worn through the years, to public events and ‘off duty’ in candid photos. See how she wears different accessories and what her favourite styles and types are. And you will notice she has her favourites! I’ve started the page off with Headwear, including hats, flowers in the hair, fascinators and the Isabel Lucas trademark – headbands! She really does rock the headband like no other. I hope you enjoy this page.

As you can imagine, it will take some time to build up that page and put together collections of all the other accessories she has worn, so stay tuned as I continue working on it gradually. More Style section additions are coming in the next few updates…

After a whole lot of work, the first page of our all-new Style section is now complete! The Lookbooks page is designed to help give you inspiration for Isabel-style outfits, and features collections of photos highlighting aspects of Isabel’s style – from glamourous party wear, to airport looks, to festival style. Several weeks (or months) ago, I thought to myself it would be helpful for fashion fans to have something like this, where you can browse through photos of different aspects of Isabel’s style quickly, instead of having to sort through each gallery page, and so you can take inspiration from how she wears different clothes when you’re wanting to buy/put together outfits yourself. If you’re looking for a fun, new way to wear a summer dress, for example, and want something in the style of what Isabel would wear, this page is here to help you with that!

The page is basically complete, but needs a bit of tweaking. If you have suggestions for any lookbooks you’d like to see, then don’t hesitate to drop me a line! I’ll be adding lookbooks for denim, summer style and winter clothing soon.

I’m pretty happy with this new, original, page, so I hope you all enjoy it too!

Find out how to get summer’s uber-natural sunkissed honey highlights just like our latest hair crush, Isabel Lucas…

Celebrity hair has become surprisingly low-maintenance looking this summer (even Nicole Kidman has down-dyed her roots back to red)! So it’s no surprise that the season’s hottest colour technique is less about bold colour and more about back-from-the-beach highlights.

InStyle’s newest hair crush, Isabel Lucas (Megan Fox’s co-star in the Transformers film) works the technique well – what’s not to love about her rich-but-still-real honey hues?

Fancy experimenting? “This look is all about deluxe-natural colour,” explains Simon Hill, Creative Director at Edinburgh’s award winning salon, Sesh Hairdressing, “and we get it by placing random highlights using matte natural tones like caramel, honey and cocoa.” To get this colour spot on, Simon suggests avoiding red tones and asking for differing widths of highlights through the mid-lengths to the ends to keep the look naturally sunkissed.

I know many people like Izzy’s style, so here are a couple of articles on how to copy some of her recent looks.

Plus, vote for Izzy as the starlet that has the fashion ‘It’ factor at Vogue Australia.

Isabel Lucas puts a summer spin on leather knee high boots.

The not-so-seasonal knee high boot gets a summer update via Isabel Lucas. We love the similarly western chic Frye Campus boots.
The casual striped mini dress is the key to Isabel’s laid back look. We like this Ella Moss stripey dress.
For a steal you can pick up the Splendid striped tunic for $75.20.
No chills when you complete your look with a cropped jacket for only $78!
Top off your look with a trendy hat like Isabel’s. Try this simple, black fedora from Torrid.com.
