Harrods' Disney Princess Christmas Windows

This post was meant to go up last week, so sorry about that! As the news is a little old now...well...a week old, which is still quite old in the fashion world!

I don't need to hark on again about how much I love Christmas, but I want to do a special post about a certain department store's AMAZING Christmas windows.

Combining three of my favourite things - Christmas, Disney and fashion - Harrods have created windows, which have come straight from my dreams.

Some of the biggest names in fashion have come together to create their own interpretations of iconic Disney princess gowns. The display coincides with the 7,000 square foot Disney princess pop up boutique on the fourth floor, which is opened now.

These spectacular windows were revealed to the public last Thursday, and they do not disappoint.

From Oscar De La Renta's vision of Snow White's classic look to Marchesa's beautiful interpretation of Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Versace's stunning take on Cinderella to Missoni's vision of Mulan, these displays are simply amazing and will take anyone's breath away.

I've put the sketches and final shots of the dresses below. What do you think of this gorgeous window display? Will you be heading down to Harrods to take a look? Enjoy x

Best and Worst Dressed at the Emmys

I just wanted to give a quick rundown of who I thought sparkled and who...well...didn't basically, at last nights Emmy Awards. One thing seemed to stand out, the amount of shiny and wet-look dresses that were worn on the red carpet, which, for me, really don't work. Shiny can equal a bit cheap looking, and for some of these gowns, I'm afraid they looked just that - despite the designer price tag! In other news, bold, vibrant colour blocks seemed to be the star's choice this year - especially jewel tones in reds and blues.

Here's my verdict:

Hot

Kate Winslet looked every inch the star that she is in a hot red Elie Saab number


Kelly Osbourne looked stunning in a deep plum J Mendel fishtail gown

Katie Holmes just made it into the hot list in this blue Calvin Klein dress - gorgeous colour but not really red carpet

Nina Dobrev...WOW!

Sarah Hyland looks fresh, modern and beautiful - love the silver accessories

Julie Bowen looked effortlessly cool and chic in Oscar De La Renta

love this red Marchesa dress on Glee star Lea Michele

Not

I do love you Gwyneth, but this cut away dress by Pucci has left me scratching my head in confusion!

Christina Hendricks - stunning figure, gorgeous face, but this dress just does not do it for me

This graphic dress by Oscar de la Renta looks just wrong on Claire Danes - a bit too funky and cool for a red carpet event

Toooooo many ruffles for Heidi Klum. It just makes her look bulky and this super model is anything but!


It's a miss for Dianna Agron in this shiny Roksanda Illinic dress


Too shiny, clingy and just a bit...bleurgh I'm afraid Jane Krakowski


I love the colour of this gown, but again...too shiny and the shape does nothing for you Amy Poehler

Cheryl Cole's New Look!

Well, the girl dun good. National sweetheart Cheryl Cole has landed the gig of the year - a judges spot on Simon Cowell's latest venture, the American X Factor.

Along with a new job, comes a whole new look it seems! Chezza has been papped rocking a...erm...subtle new look. Colour blocking to the extreme wearing a Oscar de la Renta orange ruffle top, turquoise belt and Diane Von Furstenburg purple trousers. Not only that, she is also sporting a bit of a bouffant. Well, that's an understatement...her hair is huge! Backcombed towards an inch of its life, it seems Chezza really has gone all out to impress.

Let's just hope tinseltown doesn't chew her up and spit her out, and that those yanky doodles understand her rather thick accent...well, if I have trouble, I can only imagine! What do you think of her new look? Good luck Cheryl, enjoy! x
