Golden Globes 2013 - Fashion Wins

The Golden Globes took place last night and although there were lots of interesting and surprising wins on the night, for me it was all about the fashion!

Kate Hudson looked absolutely amazing in a floor length black Alexander Mc Queen with gold detailing, her blond hair offset the gown beautifully and this was definitely one of the stand out dresses on the night as I'm sure Twitter will have informed most fashion addicts already.



Anne Hathaway is making headlines at the moment due to her stellar performance in the big screen version of Les Misèrables released last week and she did not disappoint her fans last night collecting the award for Best Supporting Actress. Dressed in a white Chanel couture gown teamed with her gamine elfin cut Ms Hathaway looked simply ethereal.


Sienna Miller has always been a winner in the style stakes and although she may have got it wrong last night she still has a unique style.



The photo below shows her in one of my favourite Globes dresses, a stunning white Marchesa gown adorned with metallic accents and detail. Minimal make up and a simple plaited hairstyle allowed the dress to do all the talking. Perfection.


And of course Jennifer Lawrence...she was the centre of attention at the awards for a number of reasons.As the face of Dior her red couture gown by the same designer was breathtaking, a deep red tinged with orange this dress did not need any additional accessories. A simple upstyle meant the dress took centre stage which is exactly how it should be for award ceremonies such as this! Jennifer also won Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy  for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, a film I am eager to see! Has anyone viewed already? If so please let me know what you though of it.


 Claire Danes also looked amazing in a red Versace gown as did Jessica Alba in an Oscar de la Renta melon silk gown with a stunning Harry Winston neck piece. Alba's dress is stunning, colour, shape, I love everything about it and the $5.8 million neckpiece looks pretty wow too.




 Lucy Liu stepped out in a dress whose print can only be described as akin to that of a carpet, I for one am not a fan.



 That said, the fashion at this year's Golden Globes was exemplary, bring on the Oscars!

Inspiration

The start of a new year tends to make you reevaluate certain things and the possibility of change, this may sound deep and meaningful but changes do not have to be huge either.

I think everyone is different, some people make new year's resolutions, others prefer to do things quietly rather than make a big deal out of the new year arriving.




Trying to get ahead in the journalism/media/blogging world is not the most straightforward of tasks but I hope  2013 will allow me to build on what I have achieved so far.With a blog it's difficult to decide if you concentrate on one area be it fashion, make up, tutorials, vlogging, photo diaries, style watch reports or stick to a mix of subjects.

 I have been working on a little bit of everything so I think I'll stick to that formula for the moment and see how it goes. It is important to enjoy the blogging process and have fun with it and what better way to do that than mixing it up a bit!




It's 2013!

First post of 2013.. It's crazy how quickly times passes and this Christmas is no exception.

It has been a great one catching up with family and friends, too much food as always but it wouldn't be the festive season of we didn't indulge ourselves a little!

I received lots of presents and have included a few in a collage to show you. A Pandora ring with a freshwater pearl, it is very cute and will dress up any outfit. I do love pearls!! Converse are a necessity and this grey pair will go with jeans and a white tee for a relaxed look.

The River Island scarf pictured was a present from my sister and I love it, so warm and cosy and looks great with any outfit, regardless of the season.

I'm scared and excited for what 2013 will bring for I feel I may make some changes, just not sure what they are yet!! Hopefully it will be one of the best yet, Happy New Year to all!
