  • Red Carpet Fashion Round Up | Golden Globes 2015

    Happy beginning of awards show season guys! It’s my favourite sartorial time of year again and kicking off the festivities was the 2015 Golden Globe Awards held in Beverly Hills last Sunday.

    As usual I’m picking out just some of my favourite looks from the night below…

    GoldenGlobes15-Emma Stone

    Best Dressed & Most Left-Field Award | Emma Stone

    The best look of the evening, rather unexpectedly came from the ever amazing Emma Stone, who walked the red carpet in a Lanvin jumpsuit. It’s was a risky move but was totally worth it because she completely and utterly rocked this! With it’s beaded top, sweeping sash and slim fit trousers, this look would just scream wrong on anyone else but Emma somehow manages to carry it off with wonderful flair.

    GoldenGlobes15-Rosamund Pike

    Most Angelic Award | Rosamund Pike

    One of the first on the red carpet was the exquisite looking Rosamund Pike, who wore a stunning white Vera Wang gown. The whole looks is very ethereal but her sleek bob cut and minimal jewellery (just a simple set of diamond earrings) keeps this from looking too bridal. The cut-out trend is very over done on the red carpet but I love the way this gown wings out into the taffeta skirt of the dress.

    GoldenGlobes15-Quvenzhane Wallis

    Most Adorable Attendee Award | Quvenzhane Wallis

    Quvenzhane Wallis is an old pro at the red carpet by now, having made her debut as the youngest nominee at many of last year’s awards show events. This year she looked appropriately adorable in a custom Giorgio Armani gown. I adore the little beaded detailing across the top paired with the pretty lilac of the taffeta skirt, so cute! And all accessorised with a beautiful smile too :)

    GoldenGlobes15-Naomi Watts

    The Let The Sunshine In Award | Naomi Watts

    Naomi Watts was a welcome burst of colour in a sleek canary yellow Gucci gown. This shape works really well on Naomi and her eye-catching accessories (namely that amazing Buglari snake necklace) and tousled long bob are a nice twist on a classic Hollywood look.

    GoldenGlobes15-Lorde

    The Doin’ It Her Way Award | Lorde

    Emma wasn’t the only one rocking something a little left-field on the night. Singer-songwriter, Lorde worked an amazing all black menswear-inspired ensemble by Narciso Rodriguez. The loose-fitting trousers, sleek blazer and fitted crop top suits Lorde’s more relaxed style to a ’t’ and set off the look with a jaw dropping-ly gorgeous Neil Lane statement necklace. This is definitely one of my favourite looks I’ve ever seen from her.

    GoldenGlobes15-Dakota Johnson

    50 Shades Of Silver | Dakota Johnson

    Shimmering onto the red carpet in the midst of her new found fame was actress Dakota Johnson, and she made sure all eyes were on her in a glittering silver Chanel Couture gown. I remember seeing this piece from the collection and I’m so impressed with how well it’s translated on the runway. The dress itself borders on the right side of sexy and looks amazing styled against Dakota’s loose brown hair.

    GoldenGlobes15-Lupita Nyong'o

    The She’s Still Got It Award | Lupita Nyong’o

    After storming the 2014 awards season Lupita N’yongo once again proved why she topped the best dressed lists again and again in an eye-catching Giambatista Valli gown. Just look at how incredible the floral bodice looks! This colour is also sensational on her and the waterfall effect of the floral print is really breathtaking. Here’s hoping she keeps up her unbeaten track record at these events.

    GoldenGlobes15-Allison Williams

    The Ravishing In Red Award | Allison Williams

    Another favourite of mine from last year was ‘Girls’ actress Allison Williams and this year she looked just as incredible is this Armani Prive number. Not only is this a knockout colour on her, but the subtle layering and beading is really beautiful. Plus her retro styling is absolutely killer, gotta love her smokey eyes which gives the whole look a cool young Hollywood edge.

    GoldenGlobes15-Felicity Jones

    The English Rose Award | Felicity Jones

    One of the most head turning looks on the night was, Best Actress nominee, Felicity Jones’ Christian Dior Couture gown. This teal blue number is certainly not your typical red carpet princess look, but I’m loving it nonetheless, especially structured skirt. The high neck and prim and proper styling leave Felicity looking very aristocratic. What a beaut!

    So we’re off to a flying start! Can’t wait to see what else this awards season brings :D

    What were your favourite looks of the evening?

  • 2015 Awards Season | Red Carpet Fashion Wish List

    Awards Season Wish List 2015
    12. 34.

    It’s my favourite time of year – sartorially at least! Once January hits Hollywood gets red carpet fever and the annual awards season kicks off.

    We’ve already had the People’s Choice Awards this past week, but with the Golden Globes on tomorrow evening I thought I’d pin down the pieces I’m hoping to see over the next two months from the Pre-Fall 2015 collections.

    Amongst my own favourites from the collections – Marchesa, Elie Saab, Oscar De La Renta – are some left field choices from Alexander Wang, Lela Rose and Christian Siriano. In terms of shapes I’m looking forward to seeing some sleek draping, detail lace-work and some eye-popping colour (De La Renta, I’m looking at you!). And, of course, I’m naturally excited for those head turning princess gown moments – a la Nupita’s Prada number last year.

  • Wishlist | New Home Decor

    new home decor January 2015
    //blanket, H&M home//LED gold lanterns, Ikea//magazine file, Ikea//striped cushion, H&M home//storage basket, H&M home//beige cushion, Next//wood organiser, Tesco home//mandarin & tangelo reed diffuser, The Body Shop//pomegranate & raspberry reed diffuser, The Body Shop//ampersand bookend, Etsy//shelving unit, Muji//

    Just in case you didn’t know I’m moving this weekend! And as a method of procrastination from actually packing up my clothes/room/life, I’ve picked out a little wish list of home decor bits for my new digs.

    Most of this wish list is comprised of soft furnishings, to make my bedroom as cosy as possible and to take advantage of the fact I have a double bed now ^_^ H&M home is killing it when it comes to home decor at the moment, I could’ve added their entire spring Home collection if I’m honest.

    I’m also looking for small organisational bits, a bookshelf (there isn’t one in the room at the moment, so my books are shelf-less until I get one!), and little home-y touches like lights. I may have to wean myself off candles but I am excited to try out The Body Shop’s reed diffusers.
