Golden Globes.

The Good. The Bad. And The Ugly.

Above, the sketch of Megan Fox's custom Golden Globes Giorgio Armani Prive gown. Below, actual gown.


Above, Fox in her 'pale pink Giorgio Armani Privé evening grown with an asymmetrical Swarovski adorned strap. She also wore Lorraine Schwartz jewellery, a Roger Vivier clutch and Brian Atwood shoes'. Below, her competition.


Anne Hathaway also wore a Giorgio Armani Privé evening gown, this time in amber. 'The finale look from the Fall Winter 2010-2011 couture collection is fully embellished with paillettes and Swarovski crystals, the dress features dramatic shoulders, long fitted sleeves and a low open back'.


Angelina Jolie wore a 'long sleeved emerald green gown encrusted with Swarovski crystals by Atelier Versace, Ferragamo shoes, and Robert Procop jewels'. Brad Pitt donned a Tom Ford tux, hardly picture worthy.


January Jones, who presented during the evening, wore this risque red number and finished it off with black Versace patent leather pumps and a black satin Versace clutch.


Above, Mila Kunis wore a Vera Wang dress, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Judith Leiber clutch and Yves Saint Laurent shoes. Blowing Natalie Portman out the co-star fashion savvy water, in my opinion. Below, the reason why.


Natalie Portman 'showed off her baby bump in a pale pink Viktor and Rolf dress paired with Stella McCartney shoes, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry' and a Dior clutch. These shades of red and pink ask for criticism, it just all looks a bit 90's. And ditto below, in flats.




Sandra Bullock look amazing in Jenny Packham, and finished her look with Jimmy Choo “Jigsaw” shoes.One of my favourites and she presented too.

Now for some of the bad stroke ugly.


Kelly was a fashion correspondent on the red carpet for E! News, however in her Zac Posen dress, Casadei shoes, and Kimberly McDonald jewellery, she was leaning towards looking like Cruella de Vil.


One of the worst outfits of the night and she presented. Olivia Wide wore 'a strapless chocolate brown embroidered Marchesa ballgown, Christian Louboutin shoes, jewels by Tiffany’s and clutch by Judith Leiber'. Shoes or dress. Pick. You may have everything but it doesn't mean you can wear everything.


Kristen Bell bored my eyeballs out. Black dress, black satin clutch, no nailvarnish, barely-there make up and jewellery. Maybe it would hvae been better if she wasn't there at all.



Jennifer Love Hewitt mistook the Golden Globes for her wedding.


5' 1" Hayden Panettiere shouldn't stand next to her 6' 6" boyfriend, Wladimir Klitschko. As if the 12 year age difference wasn't enough by itself.


Helena Bonham Carter intentionally left the house in one green, and one red, shoe. Enough said.

Justin Beiber should've left his three-piece D&G tuxedo and trainers at home, along with himself. Not even posting a picture.

A Little Spring In My Step.

What better way to rid Winter blues than to commence Spring shopping? An outfit like this nostalgic get-up is in order soon I think.







Leaf Pearl Stud Earring, £4. Grey Floral Zip Back Dress, £33. Livia Tan Platforms, £75. Nail in Bad Habit, £5. All Topshop.

Kardashian Kornrows.



Kim Kardashian. Cornrows. Two words I never thought I would never hear in the same sentence. 2011 obviously has a lot in store for her; first the singing and now cornrows. Not to mention her latest nude photoshoot. I don't think intrigued is quite the right word, curiosity killed the cat.

Celebrity Wedding. Sigh.

I'm not a big celebrity follower, but one wedding I was eager to see the pictures of was that of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. Nicole wore an awe-inspiring 'Grace Kelly-inspired ivory Marchesa gown with lace and crystal bodice and a voluminous skirt of silk organza with hand-sewn tulle petals'. Unfortunately, I have little to say on Joel's attire.



The ceremony took place in this tent at Lionel Richie's Los Angeles home at sunset. Too perfect. Too jealous.





Dinner took place in the beautiful Versailles-inspired room below.


Marchesa dress number two with the addition of two gorgeous hair clips in replacement of her veil.



The cake was where they let themselves down, not original or as in-keeping with the rest of their day as it could have been.



The evening venue, where lanterns and drapes gave a Bohemian feel to the night. Marchesa dress number three (not that we can see enough of it) and down comes the hair.

Abuse Mouche


The beauty spot is back and more elaborate than ever, in the form of these 9ct gold charmers courtesy of Sabrina Dehoff. The beauty spot, or mouche as it can be called is, was created to cover blemishes and the like in 'the olden days'. Although the original reason for the mouche has somewhat dissipated, they live on in the name of fashion. Take your pick from a gun, bunny ears, lips, ghost, diamond, spades, bow, cat, bird, heart, cat ears, eye mask or circle. The diamond and circle would be the easiest to wear, but since when is the easiest option the most rewarding? Which is why I would have to go for the gun or bow. For a half-way-house that looks good and is easy to wear, it'd have to be the heart.
