The Oscar's Award Winning Dresses

I have always been a huge fan of the Oscars.

When I was little, I used to stay up with my mum till 5am to watch the whole show! Now, I try to watch it live, but end up taping it and watching it over the course of the following days.

Now, I love watching the red carpet as well as the award ceremonies, and seeing what everyone wore - the hits, the misses and all the glamour.

This year, seven ladies really stuck out to me; Meryl Streep, Rooney Mara, Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Williams, J-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow, who all wore stunning gowns by the likes of Tom Ford, Givenchy, Gucci, Marc Jacobs and other fabulous names.

My favourite trend of the dresses were the pretty floaty nude gowns, with flowing trains, a smattering of shimmer and a slight etheral quality. I've put my faves below, but would love to hear who your favourites were. Enjoy x

Kylie Rocks in this Week's Stylist Magazine

I am not normally the biggest Kylie Minogue fan. I have nothing against her - I think she's cute and can hold her own on stage. Her stylist obviously dresses her well, and I kind of loved "Can't Get You Out of My Head," but I've never really seen her as a fashion superstar.

This perception changed today when I picked up my weekly Stylist magazine. This bumper issue is just fabulous! The pint sized singer is dressed by 25 of the world's greatest fashion designers (to commemorate her 25 years in music). JEALOUS!! Including a Cavalli dress designed especially for her. Yes, jealous...very jealous. She actually looks amazing in this mega fashion spread, and manages to evoke a new look, attitude and style for each of the shots. OK Kylie, you rock!

Designers participating in the spread include; Stephen Jones, Roksanda Ilincic, Sonia Rykiel, Philip Treacy, Tom Ford, Christopher Kane, Victoria Beckham, Julien McDonald, Stella McCartney, David Koma, Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Antonio Beradi, Richard Nicoll, Preen, Basso & Brooke, Holly Fulton, Bodyamr, Mark Fast, Peter Pilotto, Emilio Pucci, Tommy Hilfiger, and Mary Katrantzou.

I love that they used more avant garde, British designers such as Christopher Kane, Holly Fulton and Mary Katrantzou, along with such established fashion houses as Alexander McQueen, Chanel and Cavalli.

This shoot was styled by Alexandra Fullerton and shot by William Baker. If you haven't grabbed your copy by now...hurry up, there's still time! Enjoy x

Emma Watson Smoulders On Her First US Vogue Cover

A big congrats to little Emma Watson, who has bagged her first US Vogue cover!

Photographed by legendary photographer Mario Testino, Miss Watson can be seen in the magazine wearing gorgeous and high fashion attire by the likes of Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, Prada and Dolce and Gabbana. Her hair is slicked back and her lips a vampy dark red...the girl has come a long way from her bushy haired days of playing Hermoine Granger.

Well done Emma, you're flying the flag for Brits proud...and you look stunning! Enjoy x

Michelle Glam-Bama!!

So the UK has just had a very important visit Mr and Mrs Obama, who came to do all sorts of important state visit things...I don't know what exactly, what I do know is that Michelle Obama looked absolutely fierce! She really is the first lady of fashion and never really fails to dress to impress.

Let's have a look at what she rocked during their vist:








Looking beautiful in a vibrant shade of blue, this lovely ensemble is by British (natch) designer duo Thornton Bregazzi.


My least favourite of her looks. This Barbara Tfank Resort 2011 prom dress is a little airy fairy, especially when worn with the sugar pink bolero. One nil to Kate I think!




Whoo hoom back to fashion fabulous-ness! Mrs. O looks radiant in this pinky/purple wool crepe dress by Brit-fash fave Roksanda Ilincic, topped off with a stunning coat by Narciso Rodriguez...colour blocking at its best!






 Save the best till last, here, Mrs O looks absolutely stunning at the State Dinner at Buckingham Palace, wearing a gorgeous ivory gown by Tom Ford and fabulous gloves which showcase her perfectly toned arms...jealous? me? You go MObama!! Enjoy x
