Lupita Nyong'o- Critics Choice Awards

This Calvin Klein number is absolutely STUNNING on her. The fact that she has well sculpted shoulders really work in her favour. The cut out detail really gives this dress an edge. I'm also in love with her idea to coordinate her nail varnish to her dress, the white just suits her so well!

Until next time...

Kylie Jenner: Sophisticated Cool

I was surprised to see Kylie Jenner is such an adult outfit, the first combination is just perfect (except shoes) it's just such a classic look, the coat especially tying it all together. 

The second however seems more her. The bag is fun and punky, I see why she chose the shoes to match the chain of the bag but I would've preferred a black patent pump or something that doesn't make her look sick. The gold is too close to her skin tone, but I do appreciate the subtlety of the colour links. 

Until next time...

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruitment Premiere

Kiera Knightly usually looks so stylish but this this dress is just "old maid" there's very little shape to it (fitting) the white piping is just too glaring especially the belt. It's the white that really ruins it, also not a dress for a premiere. 

Especially when you look this good at an airport, it's just an effortlessly cool outfit  it doesn't match up to the previous choice.

Her costar's red carpet choice is just terrible. It's ill fitting and it looks like her underwear is showing through. However her makeup is flawless.

Until next time...

Jump In

This jumpsuit is just everything! It's stylish, classy, sofisticated and sexy all at the same time. The dropped neckline gives it it's edge without looking trashy due to the amount of coverage. The belted waist is what seperates it from all the rest, it's a feminine touch to a rather harsh outfit, it softens the look. The trousers are straight but not tight and fitted like cigarette jeans, creating an illusion of longer legs whilst hiding any lumps or numbs (i.e. VPL). It's deffinately one of my favourite looks on Gywenth Paltrow. 

Until next time.

PCA

My favourite looks from the PCA's 2014. I was surprised that I didn't like the more obvious choices but I guess everyone can't look good!

I loved this velvet jacket, I usually don't enjoy men's fashion but the way he made himself stand out and in a very sleek and sexy way stood out to me. The shoes however are just a bit too subtle he should have gone for something that shows more of a statement.

He use of lace and sectioning is what drew me to this dress. However I don't like the skirt or the cap sleeves. Also the green of the bag is too yellow/blue for my liking. One last thing I would change is the thickness of the straps of the shoes, other than that it's a very nicely thought out ensemble, all the jewelry and nail varnish compliments it well. 

I loved the delicacy of this dress, the gold is very well suited to her auburn hair and feminine make up. The brown bag compliments the dress well, the shoes do as well but I would've preferred something a bit more substantial however the relaxed hair gives it a romantic feel.

As always there has to be someone is a sexy red dress and this year it was... who did it best for me. It's figure hugging and shows of the bust well without looking too seductive, it's a nice change from the usual mermaid tail that i've come to expect.

Until next time

11 Days

I am turning 20 in 11 days and I'm slightly freaking out! I don't know what to do! Like how do I celebrate and who with?!?! I mean I've only been at uni for like 1 semester and now I have to organise outings with my new amigos but half of them don't know the other half, it's just like...

*sweats nervously*

If only I had someone to plan for me, but alas, no such luck so I guess I'll just have to suck it up and get on with it!

Plans:

1) needs to go down in a club...

2) need to invite friends

3) need to have another party for my other friends

But don't worry about me and my insomnia, till next time.

Train spotting

This is going to be a very prominent thing on my blog. I love sussing out peoples outfits on the train whenever I see anything I like I'll be posting it!

For example this woman from this morning although her outfit wasn't really thought out that much she did take the time to match her nail varnish which was a really nice red to her scarf, again a really nice red. Both had some element of multidimensional colour to them which really made her drap outfit pop so for that lady on the train, well done. 

Until next time

First Day Back

Not looking forward to this at all for three reasons:

1) I'm sooo tired, Netflix is just such a bad idea on the day before uni starts!

2) It's so far! I wish it was just like in West London but no such luck, ah...

3) It's raining, now I know this really shouldn't come as a shock given that it's London but still rain just ruins everything!

So now you know why I am slightly dreding my return to uni today. Oh and it's a briefing, kind of like a reminder of all the work I'm going to have to complete over the next semester so that'll be fun! 

Either way I'm off!

You Know When Images Do the Thing

You know when people layer images in the cool way, you know abstract and portrait in layers. You know what I mean..

Like this kind of imagery, it's just so...cool! I don't know what it is about it..actually that's a lie I do. It's just the way they've layered a reasonably good portrait/ ordinary picture over chaos it's mesmerising, the background that is. I deffinately want to experiment with this in my project. Oh yes, in case you were unaware, I is an artist, well photographer, but I do like to make things too!

Well that's my 2cence.
