SAG Awards

Hey,

So another award show has taken place this time it was the SAG's, but again Natalie Portman and Colin Firth left the night with best actor and actress in the bag.

As for the fashion another amazing red carpet, with reoccurring trends from the Golden Globes red carpet my favourite being the pale pink romance dresses. Two Glee stars chose amazing romance dresses for the night Heather Morris in a stunning Romona Keveza design and Jayma Mays in a beautiful Jenny Packham dress.

I had never seen these designers collections before so I took for their websites and they are worth a look. Featuring beautiful dresses and gowns and each with a bridal collection. I especially like the textures seen on the Romona Keveza dresses, such as this feathery look to the right, and I also love the colours in these elegant gowns such as the one seen below.

Golden Globes

Hey,

It's award show season again! And what comes with award shows? Red carpets! This is definitely a noted date in my calendar as I'm not only intrigued as to who will win but I love to see what the celebrities chose to wear.

The Golden Globes were held last week with Natalie Portman scooping up Best Actress for Black Swan and Colin Firth sealing best actor for King's Speech.

The main colours seen on the red carpet were dark green, seen in Mila Kunis' stunning Vera Wang dress, hot red and pale pink, seen on Megan Fox and Sandra Bullock but no one could beat Lea Michele in a gorgeous pastel pink Oscar de la Renta gown.

The traditional stunning black straight dress met fishtail at this red carpet with a amazing figure hugging Zac Posen dress seen on Eva Longoria.

A trend that's definitely going to be seen this season is minimalist with a good nod at the golden globes from Calvin Klein's simple designs.

Burberry 2011 Campaign

Hey,

I have seen the new Burberry Prorsum advertising campaign. They are taken by Mario Testino as expected!
They look gorgeous keeping the British feel that makes Burberry so authentic. The shoots are taken on Brighton beach and I think the pebbles assist with the neutral colours.

Something different with this campaign is that it is evolving so each month they are going to release new campaigns featuring new models and products.

I think this photo is my favourite as I love the shape the female model makes, I think this helps show the dress off and I also like how she is sort of framing the photo as well as taking up the foreground.

Sale!

Hey,

No excuse for my long absence from my blog but I'm back now for 2011!

I had a lovely Christmas and received some great presents including a amazing aviator jacket and the varsity cardigan I posted about in my last post!

So with the excitement of Christmas over it's on to the sales! I went to Cardiff last week, it's my favourite place to shop as the shopping centre is huge and there are so many shops and I feel really comfortable in the city even though it's a capital it doesn't feel like it.

I found some really good bargains one being in Topshop. I hardly ever shop in Topshop as I find it a little too out there for my style but I first went in to go to Topman and then I thought I'd check the sale and I found  a gorgeous evening dress!  It's tight fitted and has a netting over the whole dress this is black with little hearts in it and this covers a goldish colour which vaguely shows through the netting. It then has a diagonal shoulder strap which is the only thing I'm not so keen on but I'm pretty sure I could wear it strapless as it's boned. The best bit though was I got it in the sale for £10 down from £40, you can never have too many little black dresses!

A disappointment I found was with one of my favourite shops Hollisters. I was looking for a late Christmas present for my boyfriend and thought a hollisters hoodie would be perfect and I'd maybe have a look in the sale for myself. I walked up to to go into Hollisters and I got stopped at the door and told to get in the queue, which was the other side of the pathway to the actual shop so I didn't even notice it. Anyway I managed to get in after a few minutes and I was very disappointed as there was absolutely nothing worth buying in the clearance, they generally have better clearance stuff any other time in the year. I also looked in this seasons stuff but I just felt there was nothing different or nice that was worth spending that money on. Generally very disappointing and I saw no reason in the queue as the shop was not as busy as it normally is and it wasn't like there was anything good inside.  

My bargains in Topshop and Jane Norman made up for it though and i got some really nice stuff.
