Mascarra running down her little Bambi eyes

A few photos of one of my most favourite artists; LANA DEL REY. I don't care if her lips aren't real, she looks like a million dollars 

Her BEST song in my opinion

Although not going to lie, from the Youtube clips, she sounds better recorded than live :P

Kony 2012

Following my previous post on Joseph Kony, please do take time to research more not only on him, but other wanted war criminals. Kony is by no means the only one out there, unfortunately. The Daily Beast have provided their list of 7 of the most wanted war criminals. Please bare in mind that these 7 men are in the top list, not necessarily AT the top.

I promise my next posts will be more relevent to my blog!

Elie Saab Couture Spring 2012 Collection favourites

The cut of the material around the plunging neckline makes this dress sexy and daring, but keeping it classy at the same time. That, with the bow belt, this dress further emphasises the waistline making this look suitable for most body shapes.

What I love about this, and the one above, is how the detailing kind of fades towards the neck/chest area of the dress. These two dresses are pretty much the same design expect one has sleeves and the other cuts off at the shoulders, which makes this design versatile. 

PERFECT shade of green!

A more playful, everyday kind of dress design, this one is probably my favourite one out of the whole collection. This champagne/beige colour means that the make up possibilities are endless; one could go with a dark brown smokey eye look, or minimalist as done here in the show. However for the I think regardless of the eye make up looks, the lips should stay nude in order to compliment the dress colour. 

On a final note, Elie Saab's choice of pastel colours makes this collection very on trend.

Golden Globes 2012

As I was browsing pictures of what celebrities wore to the Golden Globes, there were two mutual themes going on. The first obvious one was;

Nude dresses
Here are my favourites;

Heidi Klum

Nicole Kidman

Julie Bowen  

Kristen Wiig 

Second one was not so obvious, but I couldn't help but realise that Gucci was a popular choice amongst the actresses.

Gucci dresses

Salma Hayek

Jessica Alba

Evan Rachel Wood

I have to say my favourite out of the second theme was Jessica Alba's gown. The colour really brings out that envious glow plus the purse was a great match but not too matchy-matchy. Also the details in all three dresses are beautiful; in the merging moss green to black in Wood's dress and the the sexy golden bust which almost resembles some sort of mirror effect you'd see in contemporary art.

Some other gowns I loved;

Sharon Osbourne; A MUCH better choice but this dress caught my eye immediately out of the others, very elegant and the print is so so beautiful.

Emma Stone; The colour enhances her ivory skin tone and the interesting choice of belt clinches at the waist perfectly.

Dame Helen Mirren; The diamonte belt separates the two textures in this dress and she pulls off the plunging neckline in a very elegant manner.

Viola Davis; the maroon colour completely compliments her skin tone plus the high slit shows off her long legs and the one shoulder strap accentuates her collar bones and broad chest .  Perfect choice.

Please let me know which ones were your favourite!
