Oscars, Vanity & Elton...

Heres the low down on how I pick, I have about 15 mins to find, be inspired, or caught (by the eye), to save, to write and to upload. So I do flick very fast and this means I have to use instinct and it has to be noticeable. I know that what I pick isn't what most of Hollywood rave about but in all honesty I quite like that. If its not below its not that I don't like it its just not what I would wear...this is my favourites ie. what I would wear/what would suit me...I'm selfish with fashion like that! :)

Just a quick little sum up of the red carpet looks I favoured  most from The Oscars 2013, Elton John AIDS Foundation and The Vanity Fair Oscar Party...all those stars in one night, I hope they have tight security at home! (or homes?)
If you get a chance to watch this on tv, such as E!, then do, it does a lot more justice to the "looks" than photographs do!

Alicia Vikander in Elie Saab Couture - It's Elie Saab, say no more...perfect red carpet dresses every time! In particular I love the colour of this dress (I would have gone a little richer on the lips)

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior - This simple chic dress is understated but holds it own, and I love her hair!

Emmanuelle Riva in Lanvin- Say hello to me in 40 years time, this is how to dress as an mature woman, not neccessarily that she is covered up but its chic and demure! Werk it honey!

 

Kristen Stewart in Reem Acra - To be honest I think in terms of the actual dress this is my favourite, although I do love simple designs something a little extra and beautiful detail will always pull at my heart strings, or my sewing thread, whichever you prefer!

Samanatha Barks in Valentino - Keeping it simple, I think the pose gives it edge!

Elizabeth Banks in Alexander McQueen - Something a little more playful, love the colour, love the print, love the movement, minus that partic belt, love love LOVE, as always with McQueen! (not keen on the quiff though)

Marisa Tomei in Valentino - Again, more fun, beautiful detail.

Mena Suvari in Lisa Ho - I'd wear this out on a Saturday, whether thats a bad thing or not I dont know, but I like it!

What were your faves...?

Enjoy

White on white on white on white...

My focus at the moment is white, after a wonderfully snowy winter I'm jumping into spring with my tail feathers behind me and all I can think of is white. Its a colour that not everyone can wear and to be honest I'm not too sure I can pass it off 100%, but that doesn't stop me trying!

My initial inspiration came from this...LOVE it! I want to wear his "out out", and soon, while its still a bit nippy because the fur just works!

Heres a few other inspirational white ensembles from Calvin Klein and Elie Saab to ASOS and Boohoo...(Haven't had much time so its a little thin for my liking!)

Calvin Klein - I love the optical illusion this overlay creates and its a stunning shape to boot!

Balmain - can you say much more!

Elie Saab - 3 stunning dresses that would do most justice...stunning perfection!

A beautifully cut sheer top with amazing jewellery over, simple!

Love this bag, a little bit of monochrome into the mix!

I wish I lived somewhere like New York where this would be acceptable, I think walking down my High Street would be a stretch even for me...how I love it though?

This is £20 from Boohoo...very Simone Rocha, I plan to take it in at the hem to become less maxi and wear it on my city break to Marrakech (Have I mentioned I'm going there?!? ha)

These have put a serious hinder on my plans to buy the classic black version...now I'm thinking I have black heels....£42 from ASOS, I think it would be a crime not too!

How would you wear it!

Enjoy

Paris Fashion Week - Elie Saab!!!

Wow...I love the SS collection shown yesterday afternoon at Paris fashion week...as you will see from the number of my favourite ensembles shown below! In comparison to the number of images I blogged yesterday it kind of swoops gracefully over them in sheer mass alone! Although I love them all for different reasons, I can't resist the McQueen corsets or honeycomb thigh highs...swoon!

To be frank I'm aware that the collection isn't heavily influenced by bees or embellished to an inch of its life, but Elie Saab is known for the amazingly feminine designs that are chic, demure and beautifully detailed, something I can appreciate and CRAVE for! I want them all!

Enjoy

Love...

Take a glance at the Elie Saab perfume ad campaign, imfamous for her couture gowns perfect for the red carpet and any other glitterati occasion or in my case general housework, lounging round the house, and a trip to Nandos(I wish!!!)....this gown has got me lusting for A) an event worthy of its attendance & B) the money to afford such a beautiful item...the neckline and thigh scraping split is goddess-like <3

Enjoy
