I know I’m a bit late to this party but I wanted to share with you some of the fashion faves at the Met Ball hosted by Vogue magazine last week. The “punk” theme meant many celebs were looking a bit weird and wacky for my taste – some look like they had been dressed in the dark by my 3 year old – but there have been many “worst dressed” lists put together and as this is my blog (which I like to keep fairly positive) I will be sharing my “best dressed” choices… In the top image: Kirsten …  Read More »

I’ve not been one to obsess with my hair, but lately I’ve discovered that it definitely does help the way I feel about myself if my hair is looking good… I’m blessed with thick, long hair but it can be quite dry and unruly at times and has bush like tendencies far too often for my liking!! A while back I discovered Moroccanoil Treatments oil and loved it so much that I wrote a review about how transformational the product was for me and the texture of my hair. The original treatment oil is the only product in the range …  Read More »

The Oscars 2013 have come and gone but here are my favourite red carpet fashions from the night. I loved Amy Adams in her fairytale Oscar de la Renta gown (above)…. Charlize knocked one out the park with this simply stunning white Dior Couture gown shown off to perfection by her cute crop! And I loved this moment…. Jennifer Aniston looked the happiest she has in forever with her new beau, Justin Theroux, on her arm. Loved her choice of fire engine red Valentino! Jessica Chastain seems to favour the paler hues. Her strapless blush gown with train and an …  Read More »

Last week I posted about my favourite gowns at the 2013 Golden Globes so I thought it would be amiss if I didn’t post a few of my favourite fashions from the SAG Awards held over the past weekend. Monochrome seemed to be a bit hit as usual with white dresses being particularly popular. (see the looks above) I really liked the colour choice of Best Actress winner, Jennifer Lawrence. And how about that gorgeous Chopard necklace?? She is looking stunning here! I love how she is really a real girl with a real body and not super skinny like …  Read More »

Lately I have developed a bit of a girl crush… on Taylor Swift. I know that makes me sound like a teenager but I really don’t care! I love everything about her and have been playing the one CD of hers I own on repeat – much to my husbands’ despair… wait a few years and there will be no escaping this music my love (we have a toddler girl who will become a preteen all too quickly!) Anyway I’m not only loving her cute and catchy country tunes but also her fashion choices and her All-American girl vibe. She …  Read More »

One of my favourite actresses is Reese Witherspoon – sometimes I really think we could be good friends… And then I came across these pics of her $7 million ranch in Ojai, California and knew we would totally be BFF’s! What amazing style. I’m loving the relaxed country style of her home. Reese recently said the following about her holiday home: “It’s a great place to relax. It’s meditative and restorative. As soon as I drive through the gate, I relax. The air is fresh, the phone isn’t ringing, you can’t access e-mail. Time slows down. Within an hour I’m …  Read More »

I adore magazines and buy far too many for my own good! However I am limited to purchasing local mags as the price of the international titles on the shelves is prohibitive! Fortunately for us we live in the age of the internet which means we can know exactly what is happening within the pages of many a magazine by just browsing online. This year most of the August issues of the international glossies are featuring a bevy of beautiful brunette cover girls and fashion bible, Vogue, is no exception this month. Featured on the cover is fabulous French actress, …  Read More »

I love the Infographic trend and this one is particularly fun – a look at the extravagant world of celebrity gifts! Imagine receiving some of these amazing pressies?? Hint hint – my birthday is coming up soon and I’ve just started compiling my “birthday list” ;) ‘Celebrity Gifts – A Timeline’ is an infographic from Find Me A Gift

This month’s celebrity cover stars of the international fashion magazines all are beautiful brunettes… Brown hair seems to be having a fashion moment! Which of these cover girls is your favourite brunette beauty?

This week Blake Lively’s fashion choices have been AMAZING. Love her summer surfer girl style so much (esp the effortless blonde waves!!) Here are a few of her stunning sartorial choices! Top Left: Jenny Packham dress with Christian Louboutin heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewellery to arrive at The Late Show with David Letterman. Top Right: A floral dress at a photo call for her new film, Savages. Bottom Left: A gorgeous bespoke Gucci gown in yellow silk georgette to the New York premiere of her new film, Savages.
