#Metball2014

From Beauty School appointments, job interviews and umming and arring about whether to go to Uni or not - the past two days have been a right mare!

Not only have the days been HECTIC pleasantly busy, today was also one of those days where nothing went right everything I did posed a new challenge. For instance - trying to wrap a dress I sold on eBay turned into a punch-up between the cellotape and I and the dog decided my foot was a chew toy when I was mid-email to a London University. I totally lost my cool.

So instead of pondering on my life goals and where this is all going to take me in five years' time - I'm going to post up the best and worst dressed from last night's dreeeamy Metball hosted by Queen Fash herself - Anna Wintour (although her own choice of gown left the world baffed...)

BUT no-one really cared what Anna was wearing because these 5 sirens stole the spotlight from last night's Metgala Red Carpet:

Top 5 BEST Dressed

5) Kendall Jenner 

Yes, she may have looked like a rabbit caught in headlights most of the night (albeit a deliciously beautiful rabbit) but her custom Topshop gown perfectly showcased that model bod of hers.

4) Dita Von Teese 

Jaw-dropping old-Hollywood glamour is Dita's thing - and my don't she know it! She wore a Zac Posen gown and carried a Roger Vivier clutch.

3) Arizona Muse

This is how you do Princess-Chic (Katie Holmes take note please...) The model wore a Ralph & Russo gown and quite literally glided down the red carpet.

2) Lily Donaldson

I love a bow. Especially an elegant, draping Burberry bow. 

1) Rihanna

Don't kill me for using a Yoncé lyric to describe Rihanna's outfit but please... Bow Down Bitches!

The Stella McCartney two-piece ensemble was just classy enough to do the diva right - add a choker, a flash of tat and make it tight enough to ensure a protruding nipple ring and voilà! RiRi has arrived!

Top 3 Near Misses

These three almost nailed it! Elizabeth Olsen (left) wore such a pretty dress and perfected her beauty game but unfortunately colour-clashed with the shoes - sad times. Maybe next year babes. Margot Robbie's bespoke Prada dress was an inch or four too long which is a crying shame as it really is stunning - and, last but not least, Janelle Monae in Tadashi Shoji and Jimmy Choo. Don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE Janelle's look - but, honey-bee, this is the Metgala - this ain't no leggings and poncho kinda do.

And the three that should have stayed at home...

Sometimes it doesn't matter who you're wearing - as proved by these disgusting yet designer-dripping eye sores! 

We all know Rita Ora and Katie Holmes love a bit of attention so we can sort of just brush them aside for a moment but Kristen Stewart and Maggie Gyllenhaal? I can't cope...This is what I imagined happened: 

Being very busy, globe-trotting actresses (snooze, snooze) they left it to their stylists to chose something last minute. Seeing as the impending Metball was coming up nothing much was left. They were told, "Don't worry I've got a Valentino/Chanel from the A/W 2014 Collection and it is fabulous darling." They were lied to. It was too late. They should have stayed at HOME.

Who was your fave and who was your freak?

Beyoncé's Drastic New 'Do - Yay or Nay??

I literally can't believe what is happening in the world today. I've been awake less than an hour and I've discovered things I really wish I hadn't! Firstly, Beyoncé has chopped her hair off.

Don't get me wrong, Bey hasn't pulled a Britney, gone mad and shaved her head but she might as well have.

Not long ago the world was applauding her holiday weave, effortlessly flowing in the wind whilst caring for little Blue Ivy and enjoying a little R&R In between tour dates:

The photo is pure beauty. Then, this morning this is thrown at me and I have to do a double take! 

This is Beyoncé's brand new pixie cut! For all my am drams I don't think this is the worst look Bey could have gone for but it just doesn't suit her! Whether I'm just used to seeing her look so perfectly glam, or I'm not used to seeing her look this average - the verdict is a 3/10 for this little cut.

There have been a few celebs that have angered me with new 'dos over the years! Check them out, see if you agree -

Miley Cyrus' massive Draco Malfoy fail: 

Rihanna's Jedward impression:

That thing that Cassie did:

Willow Smith's pink shave:

Anything Kesha does:

My 2nd discovery will be posted a little later on at my other site: www.obsessedwiththem.wordpress.com

Has Lamar really done this to Khloe?!

Dream Summer Outfits - Day & Night!

If money was no object right this moment what would your dream summer outfits be?! I randomly asked myself this question earlier as I was trawling eBay for yet more bargains! If I had all the money in the world what would I buy for this July heatwave? Take a look:

 

Daytime Dream OOTD:

 

 

Alice McCall Silk Playsuit

Stuart Weitzman Gladiator Sandals

Moschino Leather Bag

Miu Miu Sunglasses

 

Taking style inspo from Blake Lively and Kourtney Kardashian I've whacked together this beautifully modest yet hugely expensive outfit! Simple yet effective! These gladiator sandals are the actual ones you can see Kourtney wearing in all of her recent snaps!

 

 

Evening Dream OOTD:

 

 

Moschino Trousers

ACNE Top

Elsa Peretti Diamond Necklace in Platinum (Tiffany & Co.)

Christian Louboutins

Lulu Guinness Clutch

 

I can just imagine being at some swanky do, sipping champagne and mingling with the celebs in this get-up! It's classy with a touch of attitude - and who can really resist Loubs?? My style inspo for this came from Rihanna, Victoria Beckham and Beyoncé - of course!

 

That was much more fun than I thought it would be - have you ever been on the Christian Louboutin and Moschino websites? GO NOW!

 

What are your dream wardrobes?!

FOTD - Chanel Eyes!

Just when I thought my make-up bag would be doomed to be a budget-bag for all eternity, I get the gift of Chanel for my birthday! Uber happiness!

 

I tried the natural eyeshadow palette and mascara today and got so excited that I took pictures before I finished getting ready! So, before you see the pics there are mucho things I need to apologise for:

 

1) Wet hair, don't care!

2) White line 'round the lip, get a grip!

3) No blush, in a rush!

 

 Ok, GO! (Don't Judge Me!)

 

 

 



 

 Let me begin with the Chanel mascara (Le Volume de Chanel 10) - it is AWESOME! I got this voluminous look from just one coat! The brush on the other hand is absolutely huge which I find too awkward to use. My usual Natural Collection wand is very thin and very precise, which is what I'm used to. Thank goodness I only need one coat of the Chanel miracle mascara, though!

The eyeshadow in the palette (Les 4 Ombres 39 Raffinement) has the texture of both cream and powder shadows making it very easy to apply and of course it blends wonderfully. The little applicator brushes that come in the packages are nothing short of useless - happily I had some of my own that I could hold nicely (even with my acrylic nails on!).

What I was hoping to achieve today was a nice natural blend on the eyelid with a heavy eyeliner presence (Natural Collection pencil eyeliner) to make a sassy daytime cat eye.
This was my mini look-book of inspo:

 

 Now that my eyes are done I better go and do something with my hair! Work will shortly be calling my name - as will my drunken customers later on! Have a sexy Saturday everyone!

MSN at London Fashion Week – Rihanna’s River Island Launch

From the slight glimpses of the megastar singer's new River Island collection I'm mildly relieved! Who would have thought that Rihanna's designs would be so wearable?! Athough risky in places, Rihanna's collection looks set to be the big high-street thing since the Kardashian Kollection.

 

I'm wondering though, will it only be for the super slim? I couldn't help but notice a lot of thin straps, loose necklines and extremely short hemlines which leads to my question: can us curvy females wear it?!

I guess we shall see in March!
