The 85th Academy Awards; The Oscars 2013

Award season is in full force and that can only mean one thing, another award show, but this time..its the biggest of the lot, I'm not talking Rotten Tomatoes, I'm talking The Academy Awards, also know as The Oscar's!

My favourite thing about The Oscars, apart from the rooting for your favourite to win and the whole introduction part, (As The Oscar's have become well known for amazing intro's into the star studded show) is of course THE RED CARPET! It's where all the fashion is at, its where all the style comes alive and where sometimes occasionally slip ups happen and celebrities cant pronounce who their wearing, (Always amusing to watch them worm their way out of it).

This year's Oscar's, did and didn't disappoint. The celebrities who turned up on the red carpet didn't disappoint, as there was so many, it really was a star studded event, but the overall of the dresses to me, didn't do it enough justice. I guess I've been feeling the same, since award season first started, First with The Golden Globes and then with The SAG awards. I just haven't been as wowed as i had hoped i would be, but i do have a favourite of the evening as always! :)

Lets get to it..

All these dresses were actually pretty stunning, in there own way, but none that made me stop in my tracks, (if you know what i mean) there were a few others that i wasn't sure of, Jennifer Lawrence i didn't like the bottom of your dress, Anne Hathaway, there was something about it i didn't like..(Still cant put my finger on it, but its not the nips), Jessica Chastain and Kristen Stewart, the colour of your gowns drowned you out..although something about Jessica's intrigued me. Wasn't sure of Nicole Kidman's, Jennifer Aniston, Zoe Saldana, Amy Adams and Reese Witherspoon.

My winner of the night, isn't a big A list Hollywood actress, but i just simply liked this dress..

It was such a hard decision, as i said i wasn't particularly fond of many of the cuts, the shapes, the colours and the overall big skirts, but i did like the embroidering on this gown and the colours were well suited to her skin tone, My seconds were Catherine Zeta Jones and then Kelly Osbourne, who's dresses i both adored!

My worst of the night, may possibly go to Fan Bingbing for her bright pink, all over the place frock!

ALSOOOO, can i just say a HUGE Congratulations to Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway, i was rooting for them both, and I'm so glad they won their Oscar's, thoroughly deserved. I love both these ladies as Actresses but also as just down to earth, simple, funny, intelligent girls! CONRATS!

Who was your best and worst dressed of the night!? If you have done an Oscar post, link it below so i can have a read please!

Spring/Summer: My Fashion Choices.

Hello all,
I'm a little excited at the fact winter is slowing leaving us and that means Spring is fast approaching, which means warmer weather and light evenings, which i am a super excited about. I have also been looking at my wardrobe and i can not wait to put away the jumpers, polo necks and winter coats, and get out the tiny T Shirts, the tank tops, the skirts and the shorts, i cant be the only one who is eagerly waiting for the spring months to pop up and show us some more sun, i know my feet are dying to see the outside world, goodbye winter boots and hello flat pumps and sandals.

I've been thinking about what kind of style i want to rock this spring and i think i may have come up with it, I'm calling it.. 

Aztec/Boho/Tribal/Navajo :) (bit of a mouth full aye?!)

Ive made some little outfit choices on Polyvore to give you guys some idea of what kind of things I'm going to be on the look out for to wear in the next few months..

I'm looking for browns, and for Fringes (Tassel's), Navajo prints and lots of Aztec prints. I looking for feather jewellery and short denim shorts, I'm looking for big rings and for long shoulder bags as well as back packs. I'm also on the hunt for wolf shirts, tie dyed shirts and a litte cowboy inspired clothes. I already brought some T-Shirts with cowboy slogans, "Howdy Partner?" :)

What will you be wearing this Spring and Summer?!

What do you think of my choices..?

A small wish list for Spring

Hello all,
I haven't really been able to update anything on my blog this last week as life has been really hectic. There were lots of things to do after work on most days and also one of my best mates was moving house, it took us 2 evenings worth to move her stuff out of one place and into the other! So the blog had to take a little back seat, but I'm back and with a vengeance.. :P Mwahah

First post up is a little wish list..
As you know, I'm on a spending ban, and so this has left me wanting more things then normal as i haven't been able to buy myself anything in, what feels like forever.. so i thought i would do a little post showing you some of my bookmarked links of things i want..! :)

1,2,3,4,5,6,7.

1: Fringe boots, I've had a pair of these before and they were perfect for the spring months, as they weren't too warm but they were cosy enough for the days that decide to be a little more fresher than normal. For spring and summer 2013, I'm having a little bit of a love fest with anything Aztec, Navajo, or Native. I've always loved those kind of prints and I'm not saying i plan to dress up like Pocahontas, but i am going to be using inspiration from them! So fringe boots are a must..and i prefer them ankle size instead of long ones up to the knees! :)

2: If your on Tumblr, I'm sure you have seen the craze over galaxy print stuff, heck, even if your not on tumblr, you may have seen it, and i too love it! I found this galaxy print dress and fell in love instantly with it, its the perfect length, the perfect shape and the galaxy print on it is, well, out of this world! LOOL

3: You can't have fringe boots and not have a fringe bag, it just doesn't really work now does it!? LOL, so i found this little gem and i think its pretty cute, maybe not for an everyday look, but you can certainly jazz it up with any outfit your wearing. I love the fact its not like one of those REALLY big bags, that lots of girls carry now, but its just big enough to fit in your purse, phone, keys, gum and a little extra! I also love the long handles as i plan on wearing it across my chest or just straight down one arm.

4: The Aztec print bodycon skirt, i have been dying for one of these since my spending ban started, i cant remember where i first saw one, but i knew the second i saw i it, i wanted it. I actually want a few of them, in different colours, i want corals, and blues as well as the one in the link above. LOVE LOVE.

5: I went to get my nails done a few weeks back as i mentioned in one of my spending ban updates and my friend had this phone cover on her iPhone, i loved it. The fact it was white, drew me in, but the fact that it was padded, well, i was in heaven and i was in love, i cant not wait for my spending ban to be over as this will be the first item i buy. My new iPhone looks a little bare with only the cover i got for free from the shop when buying it!

6: Again, with some more galaxy print, (as if i could get enough) :P I need a pair of leggings like this in my life, I'm thinking of wearing them and then a larger top over them, i can wear Toms, or flat canvas shoes with them or even my converse, i am excited! I could even wear a small top and try and rock that look too.

7: An Aztec print bodycon dress, is there really any need to explain why i need this in my life?! All you have to do is look at the picture and you can see why this may be something my life is missing. BEAUTIFUL! :)

So there you have it, 7 things from my wish list, that i can not wait to purchase when the spending ban is finished.

What are you going to be wearing this Spring? Any particular trends or patterns?
Do you like anything from my list!?
