The Downright Psychotic – Met Ball Red Carpet 2013

That traditional Red Carpet Glamour is DEAD!

This year’s Met Ball Red Carpet displayed the most ATROCIOUS dresses/outfits/peices of cloth I have ever seen.

Where is the elegance; the regality; the class? I can rant on the rubbish being displayed for a while but you should See for yourself…

Crackhead much?

Please fire your stylist…this is some Snow White on a rainy London day thing!

Nicki Minaj – No comments – why would she get an invite to such a massive fashion event anyways?

Pregnancy has not been kind to Kim K especially with that 1950′s sofa print dress… and the thigh high slit??

Would you let your daughter out of the house like that? I’m sorry, this is pathetic…and she’s meant to be a role model for young girls?

Even a supermodel can’t pull this dress off…and what’s with the drag queen brows Linda?

IMG_1215

I have yet to find her dressed decently…a genuine smile here and there could do wonders for an outfit as well…Just not for this one!

IMG_1217

I just didn’t understand any of this…the hair is a No No and the dress just sucks

IMG_1218

I’m sorry, did she find her outfit (if it can be called that) from the garbage bins?

Not the usual Anne Hathaway – disappointed. I liked her simple and sweet better.

I’m never impressed with her style…and this is no exception

Defintely not figure flattering. Beyonce can do much better

Golden Globes 2013

With the Golden Globes not too long ago, I wasn’t all that impressed with the red carpet dresses, however a few did stand out from the rest!

My Favourite for the evening was Anne Hathaway in Chanel. Simple, elegant and very classy.

Some of the Other Best Dressed for the evening in my opinion were Emily Blunt in Michael Kors, Lucy Lu in Carolina Herrera and Amanda Seyfried in Givenchy

Worst of the night? Halle Berry in Versace was an absolute tacky disaster! What she was thinking I do not know!

I felt a bit of Deja Vu with Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad, which I found very distasteful by the way. Reminded me of Beyonce’s 2012 Met Gala Dress where she wore a similar Givency number. See it for yourself!

Dress Diary: Eid Dinner 20 Jan 2013

Traditional eastern dress designed by my aunt. The material is a soft and silky mix between chiffon and velvet which moves really nicely. This flowy and loose type of dress is very much in all around but also makes for great formalish maternity wear.

Make up & Hair. Kept is slightly vintage with pinned up loose side bun, stretched liner and red lips.

What’s New?

It might just be me but the moment I buy something, I tend to start thinking about EXACTLY when and how I’m going to wear or use it: some may call it OCD. Sometimes however, things just happen…

…I.e. these shoes! I had no intention of buying any shoes, but when your feet are aching from wearing ice pick heels for 5 hours and you’ve left your flats at home not to mention you’ve still got a few hours left at work plus a commute home on public transport left, then you run to the nearest shop, in this case it was Topshop, and buy yourself some flats. Topshop isn’t exactly the cheapest place for rescue me shoes so if I’m going to dish out, its not going to be on basic stuff when I can get that for a fraction at primark!

A coincidental little treat to those flats, is that they match my purse/wallet which I bought a little while ago before the above happened. This is from Zara, as of course a big chunk of my wardrobe is, and caught my eye when I was returning something, turning out to be an exchange.

Now, as much as I’d love to own a Chanel suit, lets face it, it’s not happening for the majority of us-so why not go for a much much much x 10 cheaper lookalike? The closest I can get to a Chanel product at this moment in time is the fragrance (and the earrings I bought for my mum) which is another recent purchase. When I do eventually get my Classic Flap Chanel 2.55 In Caviar, rest assured the world will know.

This is an original Chanel….

Rachel Zoe is the American stylist and the fashion brain behind some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Her clientele include the likes of Eva Mendes, Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner and Kate Beckinsale, to name Just A Few!

Besides being super-stylist to the superstars, I find her own style quite intriguing! She, along with Nicole Richie, are said to be the “pioneers” of the Boho Chic look, consisting of chunky jewellery, baggy/loose shirts and dresses on a tiny frame.

Background: Born in New York City, Rachel studied Sociology and Psychology at George Washington State University and worked at Gotham and YM Magazine before she became a stylist. She’s married to Rodger Berman for 16 years and has one son, Skyler. Rachel now osts her own reality show on Bravo called the Rachel Zoe Project.

I must say, She is probably the reason I myself am in possession of chunky stone rings and oversized flows chiffon tops :)
