Top 5 Favourite Golden Globes Outfits

With the 74th Golden Globes tonight, I thought I'd do a bit of reminiscing and go through my top 5 favourite outfits from past awards.

5. Emily Blunt / Dolce & Gabbana / 2011

Didn't Emily Blunt look gorgeous in this dress? I think the dusty pink goes so well with her dark brown hair and the ruffles fall so well alongside her curls. Dusty pink dresses are hard to pull off I think, because they can often make you look a bit naked from a distance but Emily's glowing skin is perfect for this dress. 

4. Michelle Dockery / Alexandre Vauthier / 2013
At a time when Downton Abbey was at it's prime in both the UK and the US, Michelle Dockery wore this dress like a rockstar. There's something I love about golds and whites with brunette hair, it's quite a goddess look and she suits this down to the ground. 

3. Emma Stone / Lanvin / 2012
This is a very gothic look but it's gorgeous. The blood red of the dress and her smokey eye make-up contrast so well. It's seriously sultry, especially with the embellished shoulders and scrappy heels.

2. Saoirse Ronan / Saint Laurent / 2016
As always, Saoirse Ronan looks gorgeous. This grecian gown is everything. I often find that a lot of white dresses begin to look like wedding gown's but this is far from tacky. It's so simple, yet so elegant.

1. Lupita Nyong'o / Ralph Lauren / 2014
Lupin's awards dresses ALWAYS blow me away, especially the baby blue chiffon Prada dress she wore to the Oscar's in 2014. But this dress is just as gorgeous; it shows off her figure,  compliments her skin tone perfectly and the caped back gives is a twist on the usual off-the-shoulder dress.

I'm Going To NYC!

If there's one place I've wanted to go for as long as I can remember it would be New York. The Big Apple. Home of Time Square, The Statue of Liberty, Central Park and the Empire State building to name just a few. It's a dream that's been created by my love for Gossip Girl, Sex and The City and Friends, and I'm going. On Monday! 

If FCP isn't 'me' enough, they've truly outdone themselves this time! Lots of photos are going to be taken, so be prepared for many NYC related posts (mostly crying about how I miss it) afterwards (and maybe some FCP related stuff too!)

Gift Guide For Her

You may remember last year when I did blogmas and tried to blog every single day of December. One of my first posts were gift guides and I absolutely loved putting them together! Going through all the different stores online and generally making myself excited for Christmas. So this year, after seeing Corrie's (dizzybrunette3) amazing gift guides (and I mean literally incredible you have to check them out), I thought I'd do a couple again!

Although most of them are around £20 - £30, I have tried to include some lower and high price options too, and I'll list them below just in case you can't see it in the picture. It's just a general mixture really of things that caught my eye, thinks I would like myself and things that I already have such as the Burberry perfume and the teddy bear blanket which I LOVE!

Sali Hughes - Pretty Honest book / ASOS / £22
Lulu Guinness Doll Face phone case / ASOS / £35
Crushed Velvet Backpack / Missguided / £25
Nude Power Bank / Primark / £6
Burberry 'My' eau de parfum / Debenhams / £40.50 - £81

Editorial In The Style of Craig McDean (& Other Influences)

Last weekend, we set up a photoshoot as part of our 'Execution Stage' project. Our aim was to create an outcome, which took inspiration from the editorial 'Game, Set, Match' by Craig McDean, which featured in British Vogue in March 2016. The editorial was quite androgynous, yet contrasted with the femininity from the enlarged roses in the background, with elements of geometric shapes and urban culture. Saying this, we still tried to make our final outcomes our own, by including references from surrealism and the popular 80's fashion label, 'BodyMaps', and most importantly keeping the bag the main focus.

A huge amount of preparation went into our shoot and we took quite a hands-on approach, where every member of the group was included. For example, pre-shoot, we went out and collected holographic backgrounds, cardboard boxes and the lighting; then we hand-made the graffiti backdrop and spray painted cardboard boxes to create some dimension to the photographs. We then took our photographs onto Photoshop where we chose our three favourites and came up with our final outcomes.

I'm super proud of what we've created within just two weeks! It was one of the most exciting projects I've done this term and our group worked really hard in making sure that we'd all had an input in the process.
