Red Carpet
Taylor Swift- Zuhair Murad at AAMs
ZuhairMurad has to be one of my favourite red carpet designers and he keeps things sweet with this design worn by Taylor Swift. Many of his red carpet designs are full-length gown, but this beaded mini from his pre- Spring/Summer 2013 collection is just beautiful. Taylor accesorrised is with Neil Lane jewellery and Jimmy Choo sandals- perfect for the glam evening that was the Aniniversary American Music Awards, held in LA.
To the
Rome Film Festival premiere of Judge Archer, actress Li Chengyuan wore a Dolce& Gabbana dress. The black lace, baroque design had an air of sexiness with
the lace covering and I think the black went great with her pale complexion.
She finished her look with classic Mary Jane courts and a baroque, jewelled
style headpiece.
Personally,
despite liking them I think jumpsuits are hard to wear, and too often worn
wrong. Diane Kruger however wore a navy blue Jason Wu spring/summer 2013 one
and looked stunning. To attend the Jaeger-LeCoultre Place Vendome boutique
opening in Paris, she let the jumpsuit do the talking wearing minimalist black
sandals and carrying a little, gold box clutch.

Like
Taylor Swift, star Ginnifer Goodwin took cute and sweetness to new levels at
the American Music Awards. The pale pink pre- Spring/summer 2013 Oscar de la
Renta design has shape and texture in a very elegant style. Mixed with silver Jimmy
Choo sandals and a Judith Leiber clutch also in silver, the look was elegant
and feminine.
Kate
Moss wore Yves Saint Laurent spring/summer 2013 collection for the book signing
of: The Kate Moss Book at Colette in Paris. I love the tassel necklace with the
black, chffon shirt. I think the supermodel looks glowing, happy and healthy
here- it’s good to see!

Designer Pudsey... CHILDREN IN NEED 2012
So, Children in Need doesn’t ever
shy away from glamour- many celebs get behind in a mist of sequins, sparkles
and spectacles. This year though, it’s upped its glamour game with designer couturiers
designing their very own Pudsey bear to be auctioned for the charity. Of
course, a wonderful cause and some very unique designs.
Above: Isabeli Fontana with her
prize the Giles Deacon Swarovski crystal adorned Pudsey. This bear raised the
highest amount, beating the other bears- a whopping £24,000.

New coat
I must admit not really being a fan of winter, I don't espicially love coats. They can just be such a pain and quite honestly hide your outfit.
However, I did find a lovely little jacket for this winter. For me, it's perfect being warm, fashionable and being a jacket hides less of your outfit. The Barber style jacket in khaki has a checked hood, handy pockets and is suprisingly warm.

HELP!!! Judgement of wealth experiences...
My latest university project is ‘FEATURES’
and seeing as recently I’ce spent a lot of time in Chelsea, London I will be
basing my piece on there. Looking into the level of judgement and customer
service from the premium designer’s houses of Kings Road. In particular the
feature will look into the security guard doormen.
Please let me know if you’ve
experienced any judgement when walking into shops like these whatever your
level of wealth (whether it will be good customer service or because you are
young bad due to the misconceived idea that you do not ‘have the required
wealth to shop there.’ Comment below, tweet me (@emilyholmess) or email me: emily.holmes@hotmail.co.uk
I will upload the finished article
when it has been completed, but thank you for your support….
New Hair: Middle Parting and rollers
Pink hair- I can literally say I
have been there, done that. But with the winter being upon us, I wanted something
new.
The underneath of my hair was
bleached from where I had the pink, but I quite liked the colour so I decided
to add in a few more highlights and lighten my hair. A quick trim, few more
layers and a new middle parting my look was complete.
Middle partings and rollers seem to
be a popular Essex trend. I tested out my Mum’s old heated rollers- after
blowing off the dust I love them! Rollers are by far the must-have hair style
for this season and make curls so easy.
Try the sleep-in-rollers (velcro rollers- that squeeze when you lay down).
Try Babyliss heated rollers (these are what i've used just older ones).
Miranda Kerr- Victoria Beckham
Last week, she walked in the
Victoria Secret’s show, this week the streets of New York are Miranda Kerr’s
runway. The supermodel wore a white Victoria Beckham dress cinched in at the
waist with a belt.
She wore the dress with Miu Miu
sunnies, Lanvin pointy shoes and that cute little, baby blue Prada bag.
Absolutely perfect- I just wish I could breeze around the streets of New York
city looking like that!

Gemma Arterton- Marios Schwab
For the PeaceEarth Foundation dinner
in London, Gemma Arterton wore a beautiful design from Marios Schwab pre
Spring/Summer 2013 collection.
Ironically the former Bond girl
chose the very dress Naomie Harris wore to the latest bond film premiere:
Skyfall. The dress- a glittery slip, leotard with a lace covering highlights
both women's perfect figures.
Jessica Szohr- GQ Men of the Year Awards 2012
Gossip Girl star, Jessica Szohr
attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards where she showed off her enviable, tanned
pins in high-waisted black shorts teamed with a gorgeous printed shirt and peep
toe shoes.
Not the most obvious choice for an
awards ceremony (a gown being that of course) but it works well- I love the
collar on this and style of the shirt.
Ashley Greene- Donna Karan
The stars of The Twilight Saga are
hotting up the red carpet and resisting the urge to vamp the style up.
Like Kristen
Stewart, Ashley Greene chose girly, romanticism for the LA premiere of The
Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 2 in a blush, pink, Chiffon gown with
sweetheart neckline. The Donna Karan dress with a one-shoulder had a textured
style very fitting with the character Ashley plays in the film.
Kristen Stewart in Zuhair Murad LA Premiere of Breaking Dawn- Part 2
Zuhair Murad creates the most
beautiful red carpet dresses. Blake Lively, Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez are
fine examples of this and most recently Kristen Stewart.
To the LA premiere of
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 2 she wore a strapless, sheer gold and
lace dress. The muted shade of gold suited her pale complexion and the fitted
style showed off her great figure. The actress is known for her more casual
style preferring her converse but this dress was a winner- definite red carpet
envy with this one!

Victoria's Secret
So it’s safe to say we probably all
have serious face and body envy of all the Victoria’s Secret models.
Masses of colours, dazzling sequins, tonnes of crystals, 28 pairs of wings and 65 looks. November 7, the 17th annual show saw the Angels take to the catwalk to themes of circus and danger. The show in New York, not only showed off the toned bodies of the models but singers Rihanna, Justin Bieber an Bruno Mas performed live.

Dolce & Gabbana shop window- Kings Road, Chelsea
Walking down Chelsea last week Dolce
& Gabbana’s shop window was amazing. So unique and very fitting with the
style and theme of the current collection. The baroque style window, complete
with bird cages of the shoes and that just gorgeous ruffle dress in pure white.
I apologise for my reflection in the window.
Kate Moss... 'EXPRESS YOURSELF' - Vogue October 2008
Supermodel Kate Moss has done many
stunning photo shoots in her time, but one of my all-time favourites has to be her
‘Express Yourself’ October 2008.
Above: Images courtesy of Vogue.com.
The military, regal tone to the
images reflects how highly respected the model is. The shoot also, with the
catchphrase ‘hope and glory’ has an optimistic, hopeful feel about it. The patriotic
theme runs through with the union jack flag trousers, jackets and leather
jacket- punking up the girly looks. And despite, being released way back in
2008 I still love it…
