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!

Rihanna For River Island

So Rihanna has launched her 3rd collection for River Island and to be honest I am quite disappointed!
I thought a lot of her items from the previous two were pretty sophisticated and I could of seen myself wearing a few of the items such as these below which are from her autumn winter and spring summer collection!

With these items and a lot of others from the two collections I felt like any girl could buy them and wear them, they didn't have to be particularly into fashion. She had put her on edge on it while thinking of her target audience and how to keep it as wide as possible and please them. I like wearing things that are a bit different sometimes but for me her new collection is just a bit to out there to walk around Scotland wearing it!

She has gone camouflage crazy, now I have a faded camouflage jacket from Topshop that I bought last winter. I absolutely love it but I think a jacket is a bit different tho these items....

Also she has G4Life on the majority of the pieces, we don't all want to be gangstas, do we?

This is my first blog where I have really expressed a dislike for something but I just feel like firstly I thought Rihanna had better style than this and secondly I can't see anyone walking down the street in leather knee high camouflage boots, can you?

To be honest I do like one or two pieces i think the baseball tops are really cute and even though I'm not a bit fan of mesh there is something about the mesh maxi dress that caught my eye..

Baseball Top £40

Black mesh dress, £50

 Here are a few other pieces from the collection so let me know what you think...

Red G4Life Jumper, £35

Black Cropped Jumper, £35

Camouflage Vest, £35

High-shine Shorts, £40

Striped Maxi Dress, £60 (btw this has a hood..)

Mono Print Leggings, £25

Oversized Striped T-shirt, £30

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!

Met Gala 2013

I could hardly contain my excitement to see the amazing outfits from a night where fashion is key! The Met Gala of 2013 was sure to be interesting with the theme of Punk and I did begin to question how celebrities such as Katie Holmes and Anne Hathaway were going to pull off such an out there theme when they usual go for simple elegance! Some guests completely embraced the punk look from their dress, hair, makeup and whatever else and other touched on the theme! But wow did they all do an amazing job! It was tough but i managed to choose a few favourites!

Ok so they aren't in order....

Blake Lively stepped on in a Gucci Premiere Gown specially designed for her. She looks amazing! The light green bodice followed by the outstanding tiered black train was perfect for the striking blonde. The train hinted at the theme while the dress showed elegance and attitude. 

Jessica Biel, (as much as I dislike her for marrying the lovely Justin Timberlake) perfectly pulled this off her look on the night! I love the dress itself, which is Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. Its gorgeous and she adds to it (to fit the theme) by adding macrame and tulle leggings. The detail ok it all is amazing and so elegant.

I absolutely love this! Sienna Miller's white open back Burberry dress is perfect for just now with white being such an on trend colour this summer!  The Jacket hits the theme on the head, its amazing, and he little touches with studs in her hair and ears, I think she has the perfect mix of punk and elegance for the event.

And my favourite.....

It may just be because I have discovered a love for her after watching Sex And The City from the start but every time I see her i just think WOW! The Dress itself is gorgeous the range of colours and the gathered look, the things just seems to work! However I think everyones attention is more on her Philip Treacy Mohican headpiece while embraces the punk looks in a strange but elegant way! And the Tartan Boots! I just think anyone else trying this would of been labelled as a random fashion mishap but she just pulls it off, god knows how but she looks amazing!


I probably repeated words several times but anyway I think all the celebrities looked amazing and honestly I wasn't appalled by that many celebrities, considering the risque theme it was a great fashion success!
