  • Recommended | Sawyer & Scout

    In line with my New Year’s Style Resolutions [yep remember those?] I thought I’d make it a feature out of recommended some of the coolest online shops run by fellow bloggers.

    The first up is Sawyer & Scout, run by Erin. I’ll admit this is a partly a cheat as I won a runner up prize in her giveaway last week, which was a pretty little set of handmade charm bracelets.

    But rest assured I’ll be heading over to snap up some items of my own. I’ve been a window shopper for her store for a while and am a big fan of her fandom pieces from The Hungers Games and Harry Potter. Her charm necklaces inspired by characters and quotes from the popular series are some of my favourites.

    A bit of everything. The week began with the end of the Jubilee celebrations, a good ol’ BBQ in the rain and much time spent watching all of the coverage on the TV. Not gonna lie I might not be British by birth but I was sure proud to have been raised in the UK after watching all the Jubilee bits. 
    I’m now fully into my Summer holiday and I’m trying to enjoy my free time before starting my placement in August. So I’ve mainly been working part time, catching up with friends and (rather foolishly perhaps?) getting into new fandoms. 
    I got my first red carpet fix for a couple of months from the MTV Movie Awards [check out my part 1 & part 2 reviews] I always miss staying up tracking Tumblr, Twitter and real time fashion bloggers once January finishes. 
    I also received a runner up giveaway prize from the lovely Erin from her amazing blog shop Sawyer & Scout. Everyone should also follow her blog, it’s a regular read of mine and I’m normally fawning over her Weekly Style Inspiration posts. 
    And in terms of blogging news, I caved to the masses and splashed out on the Revlon Lip Butters in ‘Creme Brulee’. I was apprehensive about buying them as I’m not usually one to be bothered about what goes on my lips but I really like them, I am looking towards getting a darker shade for nights out now. Consider me converted!

    Keep on wishing…

  • MTV Movie Awards 2012: Red carpet fashion round up Part 2

    Starting off part 2 of my round up is my favourite woman of the moment, Elizabeth Banks. She turned heads in a daring Elie Saab jumpsuit with futuristic styling and Black Ruthie Davis heels. It was an edgy look but as always she manages to pull it off with style.
    Emma Stone is always a favourite for me at any red carpet event. She stuck to a simple black and white palette in a Martin Grant mini dress. She added some colour with a pop of pink lipstick, but I’m left wishing she went a little further, maybe some hot pink sandals too?
    Despite it being a very informal affair there were also some floor lengths gowns on the red carpet. Louise Roe looked very elegant in a purple asymetrical David Meister gown with side swept hair. Kat Graham gave her best Angelina Jolie impression in an all black Maria Lucia Hohan dress with a thigh high split.
    Not all the celebs chose to cover up at the awards though. Dancer Julianne Hough chose a midriff baring Sally LaPointe mini dress. As great as she physically looks the dress makes her look extremely broad around the shoulders and her hair takes away from the detailing on the dress. Ciara also chose to flash some flesh in a barely there Balmain mini. The only thing I hate about this look is her bleach blonde hair, it makes the whole thing look too Beyonce circa ‘Crazy in love’ for me. 
    Three fashion forward looks came from Julia Jones, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Jessica Biel. Julia wore a bright neon Joy Cioci peplum mini, whereas Jenna and Jessica donned some cool blue and white tones in Lublu and Chanel respectively. 

    And finally a golden look from Nikki Reed. She glittered on the red carpet in a Randi Rahm mini dress with matching metallic heels and printed purse. I much prefer this look compared to her co-star Kristen’s. Nikki always manages to pull of a combination of sexy and sophisticated.
