Met Gala 2014


So it’s that time of year again, the morning after my favourite celeb filled event, The Met Gala. Which means that today I am knackered, after staying up to a ridiculous time in the morning refreshing the vogue page to see all the dresses and suits and my Instagram did go a little crazy last night with up photos I had to stop myself posting every dress I saw but anyway… My favourite style icons didn’t fail to amaze me, and was shocked by how much I loved a few of the dresses but here you go, here are my top … dresses from last night.

This Gucci Premiere dress looks amazing on Blake Lively. He Grecian look isn’t usually something I am a big fan of but I love the train flowing down from the shoulder straps. I also love the colour, it is so cute with her blonder hair. Clearly Ryan agrees with me!

I absolutely love the print on this dress it’s like an ever so subtle tie dye. The colours are perfect with each other and Hayden Panettiere looks so pretty. The chest detail is also great for us girls with less of a chest than others.

This one is a little different but if you ever wondered if you could look as glamorous in a suit as you do in a dress then here is your answer. Janelle Monae wowed last night in this Tadashi Sohji outfit. The red and black coat gives this outfit the wow factor and the hair style just tops it off.


Kate Bosworth stepped out in Stella McCartney, like quite a few other celebrities, and showed off her slim figure! I love the colour and the cut away panels below the bust and at the back of the dress.
Kate Mara looks amazing. The colour is not a typical choice for a ball gown but it just works. The beautiful lace on this Valentino dress isn’t what made it one of my favourites. It was the mesh/lace sleeves that stood out and for me made the dress.


This was the first dress I saw which I immediately posted on my Instagram, it is so simple yet so elegant and of course I was going to love it….its Topshop! (Yes this is by the beloved high street brand) I also love the fish tail, this is very similar to my prom dress, but of course I looked nothing like this. Kendal Jenner looks unbelievable.

Honestly I am not a big fan of Nicole Richie’s purple hair as I loved her blonde locks but her dress choice is impeccable. The sheer and velvet Donna Karen Atelier dress hangs beautifully on her.

Now this surprised me cause I’m not usually one for such simple things but this dress caught my eye. The Ralph Lauren Collection Dress looks amazing on Rachel McAdams. I think my favourite thing about it is the fact it just hangs from the top yet it still shows of your figure.
Another Stella McCartney ensemble that wowed me was the white number that Rihanna wore. Although her style does go a wee bit too far sometime I absolutely love her and think she looked amazing and she finished the look of perfectly with a Jacob & Co. Necklace, Cartier Rings and Dionea Orcini Rings.


I would expect nothing less from Sarah Jessica Parker and I would also expect nothing less from Oscar De La Renta! She was my complete favourite last year and she is definitely defending her title. The monochrome dress is beautifully paired with satin gloves and flowers in that amazing hairstyle. My favourite part is the bodice, I love the straps and the neckline and how it leads to petal shapes on the satin skirt.
 
 
People may think it’s a bit far but I love it. The dress is so beautiful with the lace and netting combination. The material twisting round her arm adds to the wow factor of the dress and those shoes… She certainly shows that you can easily show off your shoes in a ball gown. With her signature red lipstick on Rita Ora looks amazing in this Donna Karen Atelier number.
 
WHO WAS YOUR FAVOURITE?

What I'll be wearing at London Fashion Week

Since I found out I was working at London Fashion Week I have been so excited planning and shopping. I've spent an awful lot of time checking out what was worn last year you know, cause everyone wants to dress like the celebs in one way or another.. 


By the way notice the heels!! My feet are gonna be killing me most days but I have been purchasing smaller heeled, comfier shoes to try and cope. I was told my clothing was to be smart but fashionable so here we go I have so far packed....

3 statement pencil skirts, leather trousers and top, Black suit, a white shirt, black cami, black and white polo, pink A-line skirt, my favourite cute dot-to-dot white t-shirt, Vivienne Westwood bag, Finlay&Co Sunglasses and 3 pairs of heels!! I got a few bargains in this lot, my silver heels were £6 in the New Look sale, my black blazer was £25 down from £70 in the Urban Outfitters sale and my navy blouse was down to £19 from £39. The sales were in perfect time for my spending spree! Oh and a heads up with this months Elle mangazine you get a 25% off Kurt Geiger Card which I used today to buy my black sandal heels. 

I am taking a lot of inspiration from the beautiful Rita Ora... 





No matter how crazy and out there her outfit is she always seems to look amazing and glamorous especially seen as she pairs nearly every outfit with her signature red lips. 

What do you think of my outfit choices? Is there any celebrities that you love the style of! Let me know I love to hear what my readers think....

Grammys 2014

My favourite season in celeb world has started, Award Season! This usually results in me constantly refreshing vogue, as the celebrities arrive, to see the latest dresses, followed by going through every magazine/newspaper online the following morning in case I missed something. I must say they excelled themselves at the Grammys last night, the red carpet was full of designer dresses, thigh splits, boobs, metallic, colour, you name it someone had done it.

I managed to narrow it all down to a few favourites which all happen to either be white/cream or metallic but anyway....

let starts with the queen...

An extremely risque dress from Beyonce (well maybe not in comparison to her later outfit) but this Michael Costello dress looks amazing on her and I love how she teamed the white dress with a dark lipstick. 

Next we have less risque dress from a more risque celeb

Usually seen in a bra-let and hot pants Iggy Azalea really shocked me with her fairly demure Elie Saab dress. With her slicked back hair and simple make-up she nailed the angelic look. 

Finally another pale number that I loved was..

Anna Kendrick wowed in this cream Azzaro number she looked amazing and I love the horizontal bust straps definitely need to invest in a dress that has these.
Anna's metallic shoes and clutch lead me on to my next trend that shone on the red carpet last night. Lots of celebrities went metallic crazy for their dress choice last night and how amazing it turned out!

Taylor Swift looked extremely chic in this Gucci Premiere chain-metal gown this could possibly be my favourite overall look of the night...?

You wonder how she kept the speculations to just rumours with this bump but even pregnant, Ciara looked amazing in this Emilio Pucci gown that seems to hug her in all the right places. 

Finally...

Chrissy Teigen had it all last night, the fish tail, the bold V neckline and the thigh split and wow did she look good. Her Johanna Johnson dress choice was perfect.
So there you have it... Thats my favourite 6 from last nights Grammy's! Please comment and let me know which dress was your favourite or what you think of my choices!

Clothes Show Live

I would recommend Clothes Show Live to any fashion or beauty bloggers or just to anyone in general now I think about it! This was my second time at the event and I would 100% go back again, it is worth the travelling, tiredness, outfit stress, queues and everything else.

Clothes Show Live in collaboration with Britain and Ireland Next Top Model is a room full of all your favourite beauty and fashion brand giving away treats and freebies along with selling all your favourite items, Whats not to love? Not only this the room is full of celebs such as Henry Holland, Peter Andre, Jamie Laing and MUCH more, sounds tempting yes? ;)







There is no photo of me and Jamie as I never got to meet him, felt like crying as he is by far my favourite...

Anyway... along with this you get to attend an amazing fashion show full of great design, outstanding dance performances and usually a performance from a chart band such as Stooshe or Union J.
my favourite part of this had to be the topless models, I know I’m a fashion student but it’s nice to have that to look at too!









I went down with my flat mate as I treated her to the day ticket for her 21st birthday! With all this going on there is so much to talk about but if you ask Emma how the weekend was you’ll probably get something along the lines of “Peter Andre touched my face” as she grins away at you.....she is slightly obsessed.


Oh and to top of this off we went to see Take Me Out Live at the end of the day, Yes Paddy McGuiness, No likey, No lightly, but 10 times funnier and better with a cow crude jokes chucked in there that would never be allowed on TV. It was the perfect way to end an amazing day!




It was an amazing day, the only thing I would say is that next time I would consider getting a ticket for two days rather than just one as you will never manage to do everything you want in one day! Trust me!!

Check back tomorrow for my blog on my outfits for the weekend!

Movember

November is already here which means, fireworks, a major drop in the temperature, Christmas lights, and finally MOVEMBER!

Even though I love a guy with facial hair I’m not sure how I feel about Movemeber. You either get the extremists who look like the yeti walking down the street, or you get the guys who can’t grow much more than a few prickles.



I started to wonder, do guys actually look better with a bit of facial hair? And do women actually like it?
I know myself that I love it, I like a bit of a rough looking guy, I don’t think I’d cope with someone who spent more time in the bathroom than I did, I’d feel like I was never making enough effort!
However a lot of my friends love a well groomed guy with a smooth face… and chest?



I started looking into some of my favourite (beautiful) celebrities with and without facial hair..

Jesse Metcalfe
Either way Jesse Metcalfe looks great however I do prefer him with some facial hair, make him look much older and a bit rougher!

Adam Levine
 He looks very good in the middle photo however i think the last photo is a step too far? Then again?


David Beckham
Now, in my opinion David Beckham is by far the best man ever! (He is even on my phone cover) He looks amazing in all these photos, especially the middle one! I have no other comment on him apart from amazing...


Now i know Gerard Butler is quite old however he is the perfect example of what I think is a real man! Rugged, Dark and he looks great with a beard!

Zac Efron
Hmm.... Although I think Zac looks great his style of beard could be better not sure about the whole non attached moustache, goatee and beard thing he has going on!

FINALLY the newly confirmed Christian Grey!

James Dornan
Now he looks great with a beard and just in general, have a go at Google imaging him cause there are some great photos on there!

Anyway please comment as i'm dying to know your thoughts on the whole clean shaven vs facial hair, and what you think about my chosen celebrities!

Evening Dress Stress

OK so I finally have an actual date for my Boyfriend’s work’s Christmas Dinner Dance and to be honest I wish I didn’t know now. Ever since finding out I have been so stressed out about what to wear. Its not till December so I have a lot of time yet but until I find a dress I know i'll be worrying about it so the sooner I find one, the better. 

The last formal event I went to was my school prom;


Although I absolutely love my dress its a bit too much for a Christmas dinner!

So here we go....

Problem Number One - I know that I can wear a short dress or long dress which obviously just makes it harder cause now I have the decision of which one should I go for and both options may have consequences!



Problem Number Two - I suspect I will be the youngest one there and although this doesn't bother me I don’t want to wear something too young. HOWEVER I don’t want to dress older than I should and look frumpy!



Problem Number Three – What colour should I go for? I was thinking black? Its formal and a safe option, but is it boring? There are so many beautiful dresses in all different colours so do I risk it and be a bit more adventurous?

I realise this is still black but its a bit more adventurous than plain?

Problem Number Four - Whats the best option if I get a backless dress and a bra isn't an option? I need suggestions on this as my boob popping out isn't exact;y something I want to happen especially when meeting my boyfriends work colleagues!! Can you imagine the humiliation!





Problem Number Five – I’m a student, I don’t have a lot of money (mainly because of my Topshop addiction!) And there are so many amazing dresses way out of my price range. Does anyone know any websites where I could get a gorgeous dress at a low price?

Any help is welcome as I guess you'll of gathered by now I have no idea what to do!
