My thoughts....

Actress Hilary Duff was seen at the Avalon hotel for a meeting in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, back in november of 2008. She was wearing a beautiful yellow coloured cardigan by Belgian-American fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg. The style name for this cardigan is called 'Orneta' and the colour name is saffron. The 'Orneta' has 7 buttons on the front, 2 buttons on each shoulder, and 4 pockets (2 either side).

The black pencil skirt is made by French fashion house Hervé Léger. I really like the combination of the black high waist pencil skirt with the bright saffron cardigan. Hilary then completed the look with a stunning pair of black patent leather 'Starlet' high heels by American fashion designer Brian Atwood. Classic black patent high heels are amongst my favourite choices for any outfit, but I really like the 'Starlet' because of the unique heel shape and also the shape of the toe. Slightly rounded toe pumps look better with a pencil skirt rather than pointed toes in my opinion. The heel is unique due to the curved shape and how it gets thinner in the middle of the heel and slightly wider at the base and the top. The sole and insole are 100% leather and the insole also has cushioning around the toe area, for comfort.

The tote bag Hilary was seen leaving the hotel was the 'St.Louis' in the special black pattern by French trunk and leather goods maker Goyard. This bag measures 13″ W x 23″ H x 7″ D (including handles) making it a large size tote. This tote is made from Goyardine, which is a colored textile made from cotton, linen and hemp and then coated for durability, which gives it a leather-like look. The pattern on close inspection is made up of three colours, silver, grey and black.

I honestly love this outfit, it is simple, and can be worn for the office, to a bar/restaurant, or as a smart casual daytime outfit. The high heels and skirt emphasis Hillarys legs whilst the tote bag compliments the outfit, as well as providing a statement, due to it being one of Goyards special patterns. Hilary Duff is also one of the celebrities to watch if you love 100-120mm classic high heels by various top designers, and her outfits are well put together.
