Many thanks…

To two wonderful writers Eve and Natalie, who have both mentioned me in their “Stylish Blogger” Award.

I now have to reveal five things about myself:

1. I have a compulsive disorder when it comes to magazines. If it’s one of my monthly’s I have to be the first to read it, if somebody does before me, I will buy a new one. Then I have a ritual for a Sunday morning at home, this is to read the supplements in a specific order. Take it Easy, Fabulous then Celebs. I don’t know why, that’s just how it is.
2. I hate putting tights on, and have to mentally prepare myself before putting them on.
3. Julia Roberts has always and will always be my favourite actress. She is amazing.
4. I have always have had hair, and will most likely always have hair that cascades down by back. It is ridiculously long.
5. Up to this point, I have never dyed my hair. But Blake Lively is the one reason that makes me want to go blond.

So, I now pass this onto five other Stylish Bloggers. Here’s my pick…

The Little Black Dress

The party season is fast approaching and we need to decide what we are going to wear to the endless number of Christmas parties we have to attend.

Whether we go all out in a bit of sparkle or make a statement in a printed dress, no matter what we always revert back to the old faithful, the Little Black Dress.

Here are some of my favourite’s worn by celebrities over the years.

And here is the woman who created the first one, and has ensured that women always have something to wear on a night out.

Coco Chanel, we applaud you.

If only

I love a good photo shoot and this photograph is from a good one. Styled by Anna Dello Russo, who is on my list of people wardrobe’s I would love to have a rifle through.

The photo is from this month’s Nippon Vogue, shot by Giampaolo Sgura.

Alessandro Ambrosio looks beautiful, shot for the beauty supplement in the last issue of the year, wearing a Victoria Beckham dress (which we have seen before on Cameron Diaz at the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party).

If only I could have a jawline like this ….. *dreams*

Elie Saab Spring Summer 2010

I do apologise for the less than creative headline.

Anyway, this post is for the little sister, because I know how much she adores this collection, she swooned when she first saw it.

So here is my pick of the best.

My hands down favourite is the khaki green gown. Amazing, especially with a tan and hair just like Blake Lively’s. Yes I do live in a dream world…. And What?!

Marchesa Spring Summer 2010

I always look forward to the Marchesa collections, as I know that these are the dresses to watch. These are the dresses that are going to make it down the Red Carpet. I live in the vain hope that one day I will get to wear a design by Georgina Chapman. She is a truly gifted designer, and knows how to make a woman feel special.

Here is my pick of some of the best from the collection.

I can see myself wearing any one of these gowns, if only I had somewhere special to go. (Because that is the biggest issue, not the price! Ha!)

Which is your favourite?

Adverts

I love getting the September Issues of magazines, not only to see the new fashions but the new advertisements.

My favourite this season was Dolce and Gabbana

I love the printed Maxi dress and the fairisle jumpers!!

Which was your favourite this season??

Lust Have

I would really appreciate this dress making an entrance into my wardrobe.

Paul and Joe Sister High Neck Drape Jersey Dress £150

The dress from Urban Outfitters would look amazing with a vintage croc clutch, plain leather courts, burgundy lips and hair loosely falling around the face and tied at the nape of the neck. Lush.

Teen Choice Awards

I thought that I would give you a very quick run through of all the things that I loved at the Teen Choice Awards.

All images taken from the Red Carpet Fashion Awards Blog.

I wish that I had hair like this…

I want this many Links Friendship Bracelets to wear stacked up…

Now something that scared me at the Awards….

Emma Roberts looked deathly wearing Brian Reyes at the Teen Choice Awards. The cut on the top of the dress was ill-fitting and the colour of the dress needs tanned skin to make it pop. As for the make up, it looked like she had stepped off the Alexander Wang Fall/Winter Runway. A beauty look I did not appreciate.

Kristen Bell is fast becoming one of my fav’s on the Red Carpet. She looked beautiful wearing the Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2010 dress. Simple hair and Nude Brian Atwood shoes let the dress speak for itself. All that a dress like this needs.

Now for the most beautiful thing….

A shoe so beautiful that it needs my feet to fill it.

I want BOTH.

Looks on the Runway

When I first seen the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2010 show I weren’t sure how to react, I did blog about the different models. (Maybe you read it?! Haha) Some of the dresses were beautiful, whilst some looked my Nan’s old couch. But the real thing I was looking at was how much I could see Leigh Lezark on the front row. Sad I do know.

Marc Jacobs designed the collection and something that was obvious was Boobs, next season is all about the cleavage.

The thing that really got to me was whether this collection would translate to the red carpet?  The dresses seem so heavy and thick. And I’m used to see chiffon or silk materials sauntering down.

And so, the Costume Institute Gala saw two looks from the collection.

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rachel Bilson

Now we all know that Maggie can sometimes be a bit questionable, but I surprisingly kind of like this. Not to sure about her Grinch style hair do. And, I do like Rachel’s look. But again, I don’t think that they were appropriate for the Gala, especially compared with some of the beautiful dresses.

I know look forward to seeing this collection more and see how they manage to carry the looks off.

Watch this space…
