Golden Globes 2013...Hollywood glamour?

To be honest I haven't been blown away...Casually browsing over Elle's coverage of the Golden Globes, I found myself desperatley seeking to be knocked off my chair, but....niento!

To remain on the positive, but probably far too critical, here are my faves?...(already sounds harsh, eek!)



I love the detailing and the sheer panel over the shoulders, but as for the clutch and the makeup,not feeling it. I would have chosen something very similar in colour for the clutch, and also very delicate in design, in fact I would have gone neutral, neutral, NEUTRAL and let my hair do the popping!



I love the colour, the hair is simple and I NEED the tangerine lips, in fact theres not much I can criticise, it just doesnt blow me away? Why???


I really like the texture and shade of red in this number, maybe the picture doesnt do the makeup and hair much justice but its just lacking? Its doesnt have to be all jaa jaa but a little something something, it is the red carpet darling.


McQueen...I love you! I love the neckline and the fact that Kate is so HOT! But I think I would have gave the belt a miss...and again my chair legs are stable?



I actually really love this dress, it stood out because the dark panelling makes it not particularily "hollywood glamour"...but Im sorry, shes just not working it, honey! (starting to feel very catty but sometimes we just have to say!)



Really like the plunge neckline and japanese influence, but the feet look really bad hideous...can't say Im a fan on the book clutches either, I left those behind with my teddy bear backpack.


What did you think?

A Dye job!!!

My hairdresser in the past 2 years has taken me from auburn to bright Rihanna red, to blonde and back to copper...now those of you who don't know much about hair dying will not realise the challenge I put in her hands to go from red to blonde, and being me, I was ridiculously picky re shades! I had to go brunette in between to cancel out the red, and my hairdresser didnt even think I could go as blonde as I did, I know she loves my hair even though it challenges her so much! And after all her hard work to get me blonde I decided I was too blonde and rather than go dirty blonde again, I reverted back to my auburn roots...not my natural colour, but a colour that looks natural on me...love love LOVE it! I feel 100% me again....I don't regret experimenting with colour as I've always wanted to be a blonde for a while, and they do have fun! See my timeline of hair colours, I think the red bases suit me more than brunettes and blondes...



Home dying - before I trusted a hairdresser!ha I used a dark red that would sometimes show up a deep reddish purple dependant on what colours I wore...


The handywork of Emma (my first auburn colour/cut was the work of Che and later Sarah but neither now work for Niche)


I would definatley recommend that if you live anywhere in Birmingham to book in to see Emma at Niche, Acocks Green, she can work with all types of hair, and is honest about her expectations on how quickly or not in some cases you can go from one difficult colour to the next...luckily for an impatient client (me) my hair is reallyyyyyyyy durable and takes colour well! I am so lucky!




My latest trip last weekend started with a brief of, the auburn I used to be but a little more Bree but not too Bozo the Clown....and look what I got! Love it....what do you think?

Can't beat a bit of a collage!

I ordered the boots....

They will finally be here tommorrow!

EXCITED much!!!!

And as I am such a saddo, I have made my imfamous little collage "me"'s to see how I could wear them with my staple piece...the pencil skirt! I have black, dark red and teal and teamed with the shoes I've added some items I already have and some I'd love to wear...think clashing galore and my eager want for wearing at least 2 armour rings at a time!!! The black is my least fave in picture format but on, I know it looks good!
