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.

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!

Talk about oversized..

So seen as the weather is now hitting a high of 11 degrees in Scotland it time to face facts, its WINTER so I thought I better start looking for a winter coat. I absolutely love the oversize coats that are coming in so I thought I would share my favourite few..

I love this Topshop coat its such a lovely shape and shade of grey
Topshop - £85
Available here

The Tartan items entering the shops will no doubt be in my wardrobe sooner or later
and the green in this coat makes it unique and a bit more quirky.
Zara - £89.99

Again with the Tartan but I think this is my favourite I love the colours and
the length it would be perfect with most outfits and I am really considering purchasing it.
What do you think?
Urban Outfitters - £145

Finally this pop of colour could brighten up any winter outfit, i'm not normally a
lover of long coats but I am really warming to them this year.

All About August

Thought as a nice wee sum up at the end of each month I'd share a few photos from my month and also my favourite purchases;

I spent the first few days in Manchester with my best friends, I eventually got my back brace off after a long 3 months, I booked Paris with my boyfriend, went on a video/photo shoot for Mallzee and got to spend the day with Clem in Edinburgh. Anyway here are some photos,

First Thoughts on Autumn/Winter Campaigns

One of my favourite things about the start of August is receiving my Vogue and Elle magazines through the post. The September issue is always so exciting, when you get the first view of all the new campaigns..

A few that caught my eye are,

Fendi

Cara features in quite a few of my favourite adverts, which is no surprise seen as she was in about 5 adverts in my Vogue magazine. I love the power of this shot and her as she stands over the cities below .

DOLCE & GABBANA

Since 2012 Dolce & Gabbana have had a reoccurring theme in their campaigns. This theme was started in Spring/Summer 2012 and was simply called 'Italian Family' its proven so popular they have continued it through all their campaigns since. I love the idea as its different and instead of a pose it looks natural.

TOM FORD 

I loved this advert! Simply because it caught my eye and stood out from the majority of other adverts in the magazine. The animal print and over sized glasses make it simple yet fun.

Saint Laurent

This is so simple and elegant, I love choice the black and white and think the overall image is striking!

Mulberry

Yet again Cara looks outstanding in this shoot for Mulberry. I think the owls make the shoot as its such as odd animal choice that it makes you look at the photos and draws your attention to Cara's arm which holds the product being advertised.

Givenchy

Finally I loved this photo of Amanda Seyfried for Givenchy, since hearing she was the new face for the brand I have been intrigued to see the outcome of the shoots and they haven't let us down! Also I love that the clothing features Disney characters in such an alternative way!
