Golden Globes

On Sunday evening the 72nd Golden Globes annual event took place and as always, there was so much beauty and glamour at it.

Here are the nominations by ace courutre for the best dressed by category of colour. 

Who was ace couture's best dressed, male and female? Read on to find out.

Let me know which dress is your ultimate favourite and let me know in the comments below.

Red Hot!!

Taylor Schilling wore a Ralph Lauren which compliments her skintone and body shape.

Heidi Klum wore Nick Verros and look ABSOLUTELY stunning in it for her age. I especially love the one shoulder on this dress. It looks very classic and the hint of glitter at the waist makes it.

Christine Baranski wore Posen. I chose her dress because of the simplicity of it and for her age she can definitely pull this dress off.

Kate Mara wearing Miu Miu. The belt really pulls this dress together and makes it modern.

Jane Fonda wearing a VERY sexy Versace dress. See-thru on one side. Go Jane!

Allison Williams really pulling off a long sequenced dress. Not many people can do this. Made by Armani Prive.

Beauties in Black 

Amal Clooney looking elegant in Dior. 

Jennifer Aniston pulling it off as always in a stunning black Saint Laurent dress. 

Gina Rodriguez in this simple yet very chic black skin tight dress by Badgley Mischka. The lace at the end of the dress makes it look elegant.

Liberty Ross wearing another skin tight dress. What makes this different from Gina Rodriguez's dress is that it has a little train and square on top instead of the sweetheart neckline. 

Frances O' Connor wearing a puffed out dress yet very stylish top of the dress. 

White Angels

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (woman crush) wearing a very simplistic but stunning dress for her figure. Designer is Narciso Rodriguez. 

Emily Blunt wearing Michael Korrs. Love the simple detail of the cross accross the chest. 

Kate Hudson (another woman crush) wearing Atelier Versace and looking STUNNING. Loving the design of the dress. See skin but not too much, therefore classic. 

Salma Hayek wearing Alexander McQueen and this material looks like it might not work well in a dress, but it does and she certainly pulls it off. 

Felicity Huffman pulling off a gorgeous knee length white dress with sexy slits down the side which makes it work for the Golden Globes.

Gorgeous in Green 

Conchita Wurst wearing a fab waistcoat dress. Even though this is a man, he looks fab in this dress. (except for the beard. :P) 

Shaun Robinson looking stunning in a fitted dress with simple detail and the colour compliments her skintone. 

Metallic 

Jennifer Lopez wearing Zurhair Murad and looks absolutely stunning as always. 

Kate Beckinsale in Ellie Sab. Love the sparkle of the top part of the dress and the simplicity of the end. Works well together.

Diane Kruger looking memorizing in this dress by Emilia Wickstead.

Behati Prinsloo wearing a crop top and long skirt, yet it amazingly looks elegant because of the colour and not too sparkly. Designer is Kaufmanfranco.

Jessica Chastain always chooses the best dresses to suit her figure and she has slammed it this year. Definitely one of her best dresses on the red carpet so far. She is wearing Versace. 

Blue Beauties

Amy Adams looking curvelicious in Versace. The colour blue really suits her skintone and hair colour. 

Maria Menounos looking spectacular in this sequenced dark blue dress. 

Katherine Heigl Looking spectaculare and I mean spectacular in this Zac Posen dress. She really wear that dress with sexiness. 

Julia Goldani Telles wears a beautiful royal blue silk dress with an unusual design which works well. Fab! 

Pretties in Pink

Chrissy Teigen wearing Zuhair Murad. Loving the lace. Really compliments her figure. 

Camila Alves pretty in pink wearing Monique Lihuiller. Loving the cropped part of the dress, Makes the dress fab but chic. 

Giuliana Rancic wearing slightly pink gown. The only part I do not like about this is the ruffles. If the dress did not have the ruffles, it would be much nicer. 

Monochrome

Katie Cassidy

Emma Stone going bold but very beautiful this year wearing a jumpsuit by Lanvin.

Quvenzhané Wallis looking adorable in Giorgio Armani. Loving the colour blocking and the belt pulls the dress together.

21st attire.

Hi dolls!

I know I've been away for about ten years, but I'm back now. :D

It is the year for 21st (for me anyway. So many coming up.)

I went out last weekend to Dtwo nightclub on Harcourt street in Dublin city for one of my friends 21st.

I was walking around town two days before the night out looking for something to wear.

I was like a buzzing bee running around because I had worn all of my other clothes before... and you can be seen in an outfit you have worn before. :P

I went into a shop called 'Noname' on Henry street. It has a sale on now, so get in there id you're looking for good quality clothes and nice going out/casual wear.

I got a royal blue dress with subtle black patterns on it to give the dress an edge. It is also backless which make it sexy but not slutty.

I think I could be in love with it. :P hehe

It cost me €10. TEN EURO!! for a dress this nice. Where else would you find this? Not many places.

Here is the final outfit:

Backless and sexy.

Dress, Noname, €10.

Then to match the dress and vamp it up, I wore red high heels. I love these. They cost me €18 in Penneys.

Accessories I wore were dark rings that can turn into one ring if you want it to and a black clutch bag which can both be seen in 'City Chic' and Summer outfit'.

Accessories add to an outfit and bling it up a bit.

I also wore a black leather jacket, to give it an edgy feel. 

They are in my other blog 'Dressy casual look'. Take a look! :)

I hope you like it and I'll talk you guys again next weekend.

(Vlog to come soon too)

Thanks for reading.

City Chic!

Hi dolls! :D

(I had to put a smiley face in. I'm just in such a good mood from being in New York Last week. I am most definitely moving there some time in the near future.)

This weeks post is about a jumpsuit I bought in a shop called Century21 in New York down by Wall street. It is a massive! and when I say massive I don't mean gorgeous like some people say here in Dublin, Ireland. When I say massive, I mean HUGE. It has 5 floor, all packed full of last seasons designer clothes, handbags, accessories, watches, lingerie, nightwear and much more. And it is all for both men and women. If you are ever get a chance to go to New York, go there.

I bought this jumpsuit by 'city triangles'. It's obviously some designer that is located in America and has not made it worldwide. It cost me $30... WITHOUT tax. Thirty dollars in euro is 22.07. How good is that for designer? None of the clothes, accessories and everything I mentioned above, do not have tax on them. It's brilliant!

$30 designer jumpsuit

It is a medium because Americas small size over there is about a size 4-6. I'm an 8. I love it though. Such vibrant colours and you can wear it with sandals, which is in my blog post 'Playful Playsuits', or high heels on a night out. Nude shoes would be perfect and a cream or nude blazer for the Spring or Summer months. Then black or navy shoes and blazer or jacket for the Winter.

See my other posts 'Summer Outfit', 'Spring Has Arrived', 'Sunny College Day Look' and 'Dressy-casual night look' for jacket, blazer and shoe inspiration.

My bag to match this outfit is a label called 'London Fog'. I had never heard of them until I went to America. They do very nice luggage and handbags. They are an American owned brand. Take a look at their website of you like the look of the bag below. (Link at bottom of page.)  I would use this bag when I am going to lunch with my girls. It is last seasons stock, but I absolutely adore it. It cost me $50 which is €36.78, which is a very good price for a designer handbag.

$50 'London Fog' Handbag

I would use this clutch below if I was going out for drinks or dinner, with my blazer on. Hehe.

Night out bag with outfit, Penneys, €7

The accessory I wore with this outfit was a silver and white ring. I just wore one accessory because the outfit spoke for itself. It did not need a whole lot of jewllery to make it look chic. This ring can be seen in my blog post 'Dressy-casual night look'. It's fab! I bought it at a market stall in Barcelona on Las Ramblas. They have gorgeous jewellery (obviously not real gold and silver), very cheap.

This is my final look.

I hope you like it.

Final look.

Blazer time!!

Until next time...

Merci/gracias/danke/Thank you,

Mes amis.

Airport Chic.

Hi dolls!

Since I am heading to the big apple tomorrow I decided to show you my airport style.

When going to the airport and going on such a long flight as I am, you need to be comfortable, but have to look stylish at the same time.

You see celebrities coming out of the airport in dresses, etc, but they are either on short flights, have private planes where they can get changed in before they come through the airport.

We can't do that, unless we win the lottery or come into big money out of the blue.

So, this is what I am planning to wear on the plane tomorrow.

Baseball T-shirt from Penneys, €10.

I bought this is Penneys for €10. I know, you're thinking ten euro for this. Honestly, I wear it when I can, which is basically all of the time. 

I love some of the American type T-shirts. Especially when it makes you look gangsta. Haha. (You should see me when I'm drunk. Most of my friends say I get so gangster when I get inebriated.) 

Anyway, it is comfy and great in warm weather because it doesn't stick to you. 

With this I will be wearing leggings because they keep you warmish when you are so many feet in the air and when you get off the plane they do not make you too warm or too cold. 

Leggings, Forever 21, €3.

Okay! I know they look odd on the hanger, but as the majority of people on planet earth must know, they define your figure quite well and can be mega comfy, depending on where you buy them.

They can also last you a good few month to a year. Again depending on where you buy them.

I bought these in Forever 21. I know! Stepping out of my comfort zone of Penneys.

They cost me €3 on sale. I think they are €6 when they are not on sale. The material they are made out of is good for leggings as it it thick, but not too thick for summer wear. Just enough that your underwear is not showing.

I would highly recommend buying them.

With this outfit, I plan to wear dolly shoes which can be seen in my other blog 'Spring has arrived'. They are jet black with a thin bow on the front of them. Take a look. You might love them.

I painted my nails yesterday because I hadn't in a good while. Here is how they turned out.

Nail varnish from Dunnes Stores.

I got this nail varnish as a present from my brother a year ago. It's from Dunnes Stores. How do I know this since I got it as a present, because I saw it in the shop when I was looking for other people's gifts.

It actually works really well considering it is not a well known brand. Again, I think it might just be me, but I have to use two coats to get the look I like. Still a great product.

To complete the whole outfit, this is the bag I will be bringing onto the plane with me. I again got this as a gift, but any big bag that is your style will make an outfit. Make sure the colours match though. You can't go out mismatching. You would look silly then.

Gift from a friend.

You can't forget your sunnies. Take a look back at my other blogs 'Flaunt what you've got' and 'Sunny college day look' to see what sunglasses I have discussed.

This is my completed outfit.

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

I will not be posting next Friday as I will be away. So I will see you all in  two weeks.

Merci/gracias/danke/slán leat/thank you.

Flaunt what you've got.

This week I went out for cocktails with my girlfriends. It was great fun.

The sun was shining and it was mega hot outside. (Weird for Ireland, but I'm not complaining.)

This is what I decided to wear, but you could easily wear it for lunch too.

Top from H&M. €7.

I took a step back from Penneys and bought this in H&M. This is from their 'basics' collection. I just loved the style of it. The elongation at the back and the shortness at the front, but not too short so if you don't have a toned stomach like I do, you don't feel too self conscious. The white and stripes with is all in this summer. Especially with block colour shorts or jeans. It cost €7 and I war it so much. Definitely worth a buy.

You can wear jeans, shorts or even a skirt with this top, but in a block colour. Otherwise the outfit would look strange, in my opinion. See the jeans I wore with it in my blog post 'Sunny college day look'. 

The shoes I wore with it are mentioned in my other blog post 'Spring has arrived'. If you were wearing jeans, you may get away with wearing high heels. However, flatter shoes would look better because it makes your outfit more summer like.

For shoes, see my blog posts 'Summer outfit', for high heels that may go with it if worn with a blazer which is also mentioned in that blog post, 'Spring has arrived' for the dolly shoes and 'Playful playsuits' for sandals which would make the outfit so much more summery. 

To make this look a bit more quirky, I added rings, a bag and sunglasses to my outfit.

I got the butterfly ring as a present for my 19th birthday off a close friend. Therefor, I don't know how much it was, but it is one of the best gifts I have received. If you have an old ring a home or even go and buy some in any high street shop; wear them!!! It brightens up any outfit. Whether Winter, Summer, Spring or Autumn. 

The ring on my index finger I bought on holidays. I thought the colours of both rings matched and it completed my outfit so much.

Sorry about the chipped nail varnish by the way. (Very unprofessional!) 

The black nail varnish id Rimmel's one minute dry nail varnish. It definitely does what it says on the bottle, but I like really strong colours so I had to give it a second coating. That's just my preference though. Still an amazing product and they have various different colours. This product is €5.29 in most Boots pharmacies nationwide. Link to product here: http://www.boots.ie/en/Rimmel/Rimmel-nail-polish/ 

However, if you are looking for vibrant, luminous colours, I would go with Barry M which is the white colour I am wearing. This product takes a tad longer to dry, but it worth it as it lasts a good while. This product is €5.99 in most Boots pharmacies nationwide. Definitely worth the price though.

These are the other rings I wore to complete the outfit. You got to wear rings on both hands. It makes your outfit different to others. I got both of these as presents as well so unfortunately cannot tell you the price of them. The nail varnish is the same as mentioned above.

Bag, €11, Penneys.

I bought this bag during the Winter months in Penneys for €11, but it is still in store. It is so handy as it is big enough to hold all girls essentials. I bring it with me (almost) everywhere. I say almost in brackets because it matches most casual yet stylish clothing, but would not match a dress you wear to a nightclub or somewhere like that. Definitely worth a buy for €11.

Sunglasses, €3, Penneys.

How cool are these sunglasses? They cost... wait for it... €3!! They are UV protected and for that you cannot go wrong with €3 sunglasses Especially sine they are so cool. Almost from something like the eighties except more stylish. They complete and outfit for me. Maybe that's just because I adore them so much. Who knows?! Go on! Guess where I bought these?

This is the completed look:

The finished look.

That's it for today.

If you have any comments or questions, let me know.

Until next time...

Gracias/Merci/Danke/Thank You... mes amis.

Playful Playsuits

This week I will be talking about playsuits.

Since it is the summer time (well in other countries besides Ireland anyway), it is the perfect time to get that old playsuit out of your wardrobe and put it to good use.

Or even better, buy one. There are plenty to choose from out there if you look hard enough.

I love playsuits because you can wear them to a casual gathering, the beach or out for dinner. All you have to do is add a blazer to the playsuit and you're a sexy, stylish woman.

Can you guess where I bought mine? That's right! PENNEYS!

I probably seem like an ambassador for Penneys, but I am a poor student in need of a job. Therefore I shop in Penneys most of the time. Not only that, but they have so many stylish pieces for such good prices.

This is the playsuit I bought for €11 in Penneys.

It is so comfortable to walk around in all day. Even in hot balmy weather because it does not cling to your body.

Playsuit: €11, Penneys

The shoes I would wear with this would be sandals because I am usually in a country with warm sunny weather. These are the sandals I bought. Also from Penneys. €13.

Sandals; €13, Penneys

These are also very comfortable to walk in, however, they can catch on certain types of surface areas, so if you are walking long distances I would wear shoes that are practicable but stylish at the same time, as that is the aim of the game. Right?

As mentioned above, playsuits are not just for casual wear. They can be dressed up too.

Pop a blazer and some high heels on to make it a going out to dinner outfit. 

Check out what blazers I have in my previous blogs, 'Summer Outfit' and 'Dressy-casual night look'.

A nice white or cream blazer would spruce this outfit up and make it colourful and summery. Like Kourtney Kardashian's outfit seen in the pictures of the celebrities below.

If you are going out to a restaurant on holidays, or if it happens to be spectacular in Ireland, these shoes would be perfect for a playsuit with a blazer outfit. They are €24.99 and so worth it as they are easy to walk in and go with almost anything. Link it below. These shoes would also be perfect with a crop top and a pencil skirt. However, that is another topic and perhaps a blog discussion.

Shoes from New Look website.

Wedge shoes could also work but, in my opinion, would make the outfit more casual, yet stylish at the same time.

That is my view on playsuits.

Let me know what you think.

Until next time mes amis.

Au revoir!
