In VB's Closet: Rick Owens Long Fine-Knit Cardigan

So I was just doing some research trying to find Victoria's cardigan from the park the other day and I found both the cardigan and another photo of her wearing the exact same piece last month so this is a combined "Closet" and "Favorites" post.

Victoria wore this Rick Owens long fine-knit cotton cardigan both April 9th and May 28th to soccer practice with her boys. Back in April, she wore it with a black tank, self designed jeans and sunglasses, and her Louboutin boots. She wore it this weekend with leggings, Gucci sunglasses, another black tank, and her Louboutin Ariella Talon boots. Both times she looked comfy and stylish... perfect for a day out with her boys.

This cardigan is currently available on Net-a-Porter here for $845.

Victoria's Pregnancy Style Staples

For each of her four pregnancies, Victoria Beckham has had a distinct style during every one. For example, with Brooklyn she was all about showing off her belly which she did in form fitting dresses and belly baring tops. While pregnant with Romeo, she favored fitted tops masked underneath blazers and sweaters. With Cruz, she was all about the ponchos and capes. With baby girl Beckham, I've noticed the following items have been her pregnancy style staples...

Victoria was rarely spotted outside of her home without one of her two Marc Jacobs quilted leather jackets. She owns two colors - black and a hunter green - which she often paired with jeans and leggings over the first few months. Underneath the coat, she typically wears either a loose fitting tank or T-shirt.

Of course one of her own designs would obviously be a fourth time pregnancy staple. Now Victoria's dress collections are usually very slim fitted and well tailored. For the past few seasons, she has been giving different drapery methods a try and I'm sure she is very glad she did as this loose fitting knot drape dress from her spring 2011 collection has been #1 lately.

Now most people would have a hard time walking in these without a growing baby in their belly but Victoria does not fear the dramatic height of her now favorite Christian Louboutin Daffodile pumps. She has the style in three colors - basic black, custom navy crocodile, and nude. I see a possible new "Shoe of the Year" already... and it's only just about June!

Lastly, while most expectant mothers dress themselves in loose/baggy pants to make room for their growing tummy, Victoria has favored stretchy leggings instead. I think that these are a much more chic alternative to maternity pants, but that is merely my opinion. Victoria seems to really like the comfort of the stretchy material as she's worn them several times paired with her suede Louboutin Ariella Talon boots.

Have you noticed any other 4th time pregnancy staples?

911 Call Says Beckham was Speedy & Driving Recklessly

Soccer star David Beckham was speeding and driving recklessly before he was involved in a freeway crash that sent another driver to the hospital, according to 911 calls obtained by an entertainment website and statements from the California Highway Patrol.

The L.A. Galaxy star was driving a black Cadillac on the southbound 405 Freeway near Artesia Boulevard on May 6 when he rear-ended a stalled Mitsubishi, the CHP said in a statement.

The Mitsubishi’s owner, a 40-year-old Los Angeles resident, had stopped his vehicle in the carpool lane when his vehicle stalled.

Beckham is described as driving recklessly just before the crash, according to emergency calls obtained by TMZ.com.

One caller told a CHP dispatcher the Cadillac was “speeding really bad … all the way from LAX.”

The Cadillac was tailgating and pulling in and out of the carpool lane before the accident happened, another caller said.

Beckham’s 12-year-old son was in the Cadillac, according to TMZ.com.

Neither Beckham nor his son were hurt, and the soccer star was not cited. The driver of the Mitsubishi was taken to a hospital and treated for minor injuries, the CHP said.

Celebrities in VB: Halle Berry in Victoria Beckham Spring 2011

Halle Berry was one of the many guest celebrities to take part in the grand finale of the Oprah Winfrey Show and to the extravaganza she wore a custom blush dress from Victoria's spring 2011 collection. The dress was slim fitted, knee length, and one shouldered with a fluttering sleeve. Of course Halle being just Halle is amazing but add in a VB dress and the end result was incredible!


You might recall Demi Moore wearing the same dress but the floor length version to the PlusCity Charity Gala in Pasching, Austria late last year.
