Bon Voyage!!

Right, well I'm off to Italy for a few days (jetting into Milan - fashion capital of the world tomorrow! Eeeek!!) so don't worry if you don't hear from me!! I'll be back in action next week,  with full reports on Milan and all the other places - Lake Garda and Venice!! I'm super excited....happy blogging!! :) x

Trendwatch: Bright Blue!!

I haven't done a trend watch in a while, so I felt it was time to get back to it! What I found today was that 'Bright Blue' is becoming quite popular. Favoured by the Kardashian sisters and even the Royal Family, I absolutely love the colour...it's perfect for summer. If you don't want it quite as electric as Sophie Countess of Wessex, take a softer approach like Mille Mackintosh, mixing it with white. This is the perfect summer colour! Take a look below: :) x

Look of the Week: Victoria Beckham

Wow I haven't done one of these in a while! Victoria Beckham was spotted bringing her kids out for breakfast in LA earlier in the week, looking fabulous as always! Flare jeans are a favourite of mine, so naturally I loved hers. But it was her top that really caught my eye. I love the combination of colours. Bright Blue is fast becoming popular (more on that later in the week!) and so she's right on trend - will she ever NOT be?!! I also love the maroon colour and they both merge perfectly together. Her trademark big sunglasses and the look is finished! Fab! Not to mention how incredibly adorable Harper looks on her arm! :) x

Logies 2013!!

I'm a huge fan of the Australian show 'Home and Away', and so, I was dying to see what the stars would wear to the Logies Awards this year. Here they are!

 Catherine Mack looked gorgeous in this nude dress with embellishment. I love the small pink hue in this dress, as I think nude can be a bit boring at times. I love how she's kept her hair simple. A very elegant look!

 Demi Harmen look way older than her age of 20! Almost vintage like, I love her white dress with a suttle peplum. Her hair and red lipstick finish off this look perfectly. It's timeless and elegant. I love silk - I think it always looks so fab, and this outfit is no exception!

 Does Emily Symons ever not look good?! This is definitely and award-ceremony-worthy ensemble. It's bling but not too bling! I love the thigh high slit....Not surprisingly, she has her hair in an up-do, which shows off the pretty neck of the dress. The only accessories she has are earrings...this dress speaks for itself!

 To be honest, I didn't expect Georgie Parker to look this good! Working the monochrome trend. This dress is fashion-forward with it's abstract top and stripes. I also really like her hair up!

 Lisa Gormley is who I really wanted to see. She looks absolutely fabulous...she, too, looks so nice with her hair tied up. She looks so comfortable in this dress - I hate when people wear a strapless dress that's hanging off of them! I was a little disappointed by the bottom, however....a little too 'frumpy' for my liking! All the same, Lisa looks gorgeous!

 Rhiannon Fish, pictured here with her boyfriend Reece Mastin,  looked absolutely stunning in this sparkly black dress. I love the fact that it's tight around her hips, but has a bit of a train. Her hairstyle is also really cute. This dress is definitely a winner for me!

 Samara Weaving always looks amazing, and tonight was no exception! I instantly fell in love with her amazing red gown the minute I saw it. It's nice to see long sleeves for once. I love the lace detail at the top, and the plain skirt so it's not too busy. The bottom of this dress is almost mermaid-style. It's just gorgeous!! I wasn't too crazy about her hair, but the up-do is necessary to show off the gorgeous top on the dress.

And last but not least, is Ada Nicodemou. I wasn't expecting to see her, as she's been out from the show on maternity leave for the past few months. But she came in flying colours! Lace proved to be a trend at this years Logies! Her dress is absolutely stunning! As I said earlier, I think nude can sometimes be a bit boring, but this has to be an exception! With her darker skin tone and hair, she looks really well in this colour. I love the delicate lace on the top and sleeves. She looks so comfortable and oozes effortless chic. Out of all the above looks, this was definitely my favourite!

So, there's my favourite stars looking absolutely gorgeous....let me know what you guys think!
I'd also just like to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Steve Peackocke who won the Logie for 'Most Popular Actor'...I absolutely adore him so I'm delighted! :D

Get the Look: Beulah London

I've noticed that Beulah London is a popular label with celebs of late - The Middleton sisters, for one. So I went onto their website, here's how to get their look:

Pippa was spotted out and about in London in a bright blue coat with this scarf wrapped around her neck...it wasn't the first time she's been spotted wearing it. The scarf is now back in stock on the website and retails at 120.00pounds. I would wear it with skinny jeans, a simple tee and a blazer.

 Pippa's sister Kate is also a big fan of the label. She was spotted wearing the 'Blossom' dress at a wedding last year. I absolutely love the shape of this dress and it looks absolutely stunning on Kate. She also wore the 'Sabitri Powder Blue' dress on her overseas tour last September. The 'Blossom' dress is available on the site now, for 490.00pounds.

A stateside fan of the label is Sophia Bush. She wore the 'Painted Lady' full length gown to a charity ball last year - I featured this as a 'Look of the Week' post on my blog at the time (check it out!) . I love this dress - the print and the shape and the combination of colours...it's all so fab! It's on the website now for 578.00pounds.

Do you smell something?

One of my favourite things to do is get perfume samples - the little pieces of card in cute shapes...who doesn't love those?!! I love the cards, but I don't always love the smell. To be honest, most of the time I hate the smell of perfume. I mean, the majority of them stink!! But that's not to say that there are a few gems among the stones. And these are them:

First up, Armani Gold. I don't own a bottle, sadly, but I am saving up for one (this will be up on wish list soon!). It smells absolutely amazing! Any time I got into a department store, I drench myself in the stuff, just so I can bring a little bit with me! The bottle is also a plus. I'm obsessed with perfume bottles and the different shapes and ways they come. And this bottle is one of the coolest I've ever seen, not to mention the packaging! I just absolutely love this perfume, definitely next on my list....

 Secondly, Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I am lucky enough to own a HUGE bottle of this stuff (along with a travel stick, body lotion and shower gel). I was given it as a Christmas present last year. I fell in love with the smell instantly and I still absolutely love it. This bottle is also a real winner. All Marc Jacobs' perfume bottles really out-do themselves, would you agree?!

And finally, 'Kate' by Kate Moss. I received this as a birthday present. In all honestly, I wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but once I smelt it, I was in love. It has a different smell from the other 2...not quite as sweet as Daisy and not as soft as Armani Gold. My bottle's almost empty *sadface*, so I'll be needing a replacement soon enough! I also got body lotion with it, and that smells amazing too...this is one not to be missed!

Classic

 Jennifer Lawrence takes us back in time on the set of her new movie (yet unnamed). She was snapped while filming in Boston the other day, and I just fell in love with her look! The dress, to begin with, is simple yet so elegant and it also looks really comfy! Then the big, full-length fur coat added to the elegance of the outfit. I like her simple, strappy barely-there gold heel. Not OTT, careful not to steal any of the limelight from the rest of the outfit. I love her earrings, just the right accessory for this outfit.

What really caught my attention, though, was her hair! How gorgeous is this up-do?!! I love the curls. I think she looks absolutely fabulous! If this is a just a taster of what's in store, I can't wait to see this movie! :) x
