What they wore #02: Golden Globes 2011

The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (yesterday) in Beverly Hills, Calif, hosted the Golden Globes 2011. Here are a selection of (in my opinion) the best dressed women of the night.

Black Swan's supporting actress Mila Kunis, missed out on a golden globe award but wore a fabulous dark emerald Vera Wang dress. The asymmetric style and long draped gown is spot on for the red carpet. Accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a elegantly high up -do, this look is perfect for the girl of the moment.

This pretty lady stole the show with this huge number. Rocking a Dark Brown Sequined Marchesa Dress Dark Brown teamed with a causal hair with messy bangs, shows how wearing a big dress can look good, without looking OTT. Nice job Olivia Wilde.

Sandra Bullock is wearing a soft pink Jenny Packham dress. The delicate dress, drapes elegantly onto the red carpet, clinching beautifully at the waist as it's swept onto one shoulder like a Indian sari. The crystals embroidery teamed with the heavy bangs and light make-up complete with look nicely.

The normally conservative Gossip Girl actress, Leighton Meester stepped out in a nude ruched-crescent dress from Burberry Prorsum. This soft long maxi dress oozes vintage all over, but is balanced out by the ruffles at the shoulders and ever so sexy slit at the thigh so give it that much needed red carpet touch. With Jimmy Choo shoes and a Louis Vuitton clutch, we must agree, fashion is in her blood.

Comedy actress of 2010, Emma Stone got the look in one for this years Golden Globes. She is wearing a minimalist peach Calvin Klein dress which I must say look bang on for S/S 11. Also, with her new light hair colour, which is now epically blonde and Mary Norton hard-cased gold clutch, the outfit looks simple yet glamorous.

Well Done Natalie Portman for Best Performance in Black Swan, Christian Bale for The fighter and The Social Network for winning 4 awards!

So did you enjoy watching the awards? Or were you disappointed at the lack of beautiful dresses?

And if you're sick and tired of the beautiful americans winning all the awards, there's no need to worry. 15th February will be on it's way to give you the best of British talent, in this years Brit Awrds 2011.

What they wore #01: Covergirl's 50th Anniversary

Wednesday 5th January, was CoverGirl's 50th anniversary party in West Hollywood. So what exactly did the beautiful covergirls actually wear?

Here the actress of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Drew Barrymore is seen sporting a bright orange color Jil Sander dress and Hunting Season clutch. Personally, the dress seems like a 'potato sack', clutching at mid-calf, doing her no favours and by hiding her curvy figure and making her look stumpy. Also, the colour clashes with her tan , However, I am loving the ombre hair going from dark brown at the roots and ending with a light blonde at the tips.

90210 star and singer Jessica Lowndes is rocking a nude/cognac, leather mini from H&M. Yes, the dress does look very tight, but I think she can pull it off really well with her toned figure and exuberant confidence. Also, with animal print Brian Atwood sandals to give the look an exotic edge, and a Kotur black clutch and jewels by Adeler makes this look complete. And not to forget the loose care-free curls dropping to her shoulder, that help make the the overall look a little more relaxed.

Our favourite country artist Taylor Swift was the one to watch as also attended People's choice awards. She wore a safe Mark & James strapless dress, but the draping at the bust, the fancy sequins, and the loose hemline made this would've-been-boring LBD more glamorous. Matched with Black Dolce & Gabbana heels, topaz Neil Lane earrings, and a bright red pout made her look a mature and sophisticated.

The City reality-star and designer of Whitney Eve, opted for a pale blue vintage dress by What Goes Around Comes Around. The fabric and loose style makes this look effortlessly simple. Added with it a gold Giuseppe Zanotti clutch, caged Sergio Rossi heels, a BaubleBar bracelet. I am diggin' the royal red nail paint to add glamour but also the long relaxed hair to even out the look for a lovely night.

Brittan Snow form the hit-musical Hairspray As for Brittany Snow is wearing a Apocalyto dress, from high-street label ASOS. The printed evening dress with a square-cut neckline and pleating/draped bottom is perfect for this now blonde actress adding youth and femininity. The satin peep-toe Giuseppe Zanotti slingbacks match nicely to complete the look.

Our fave fashion icon, star of hit American series The Hills and now a beautiful novel writer, Lauren Conrad got the look right on. Sporting her new brunette do and saying goodbye to them L.A. locks, L.C gets her look bang on trend. Wearing a summer fabulous cream QUAIL wrap dress with ever so cute Jimmy Choo ember sandals, compliment the outfit perfectly. Oh my, this makes me miss summer even more.

Which outfit is you're favourite? Are you sat there with shoe envy? Or were you waiting for some sequined floor-length dresses to come up and are disappointed?

But don't worry, my next post on 'what they wore to the 2011 Golden Globes' will be full our gowns and higher than high up-dos!

Primark? Anyday!

So you all must be familiar with Primark's collection for a/w 2010. With lovely shiny, leather-like leggings, oh so cute clocks and of course a Primark specialties their lovely arrange of footwear. It's amazing how much my clothes actually come from Primark. Not only are they mega cheap (so you can buy lots of clothes for the price one item from Topshop) but aren't they all just gorgeous? But have you seen their s/s collection for 2011?

It's all so beautiful I already want all them outfits. Especially the nude knee lengthed skirt and with the the black stain top, that the model above is wearing. The mini-dresses are also fabulous. So light and they clinch at the waist to show of the figure all of us women posses. the footwear again is edgy and very fit for the summer. Open toes and wedges. But what I'm really diggin' is the satchel bags! I really, really want the white, navy blue and white one. It's just what i need to complete my summer outfits! arghhhh, all of this is making me soo excited for SUMMERR! holidays, festivals, endless amounts of ice cream and of course the chance to cute little white socks with clocks and wedges with BARE legs! Can't wait.

So do you all like Primark's new collection for s/s? Or is it too cheap and mainstream for y'all? Prefer Topshop or is Primark, like me perfect for every summer, due to the forever changing fashion trends?
