Style It. Oscars 2015 Best Dressed

Please forgive me for being a little bit late to the party on this one but I have been otherwise engaged i.e., having a Roman holiday (travel post up soon!). Nevertheless, I couldn’t let an Oscars red carpet pass me by without doing a round-up of my favourite dresses – it just wouldn’t be right!

This year’s red carpet showed that the biggest night in showbiz has definitely become one of the biggest nights in fashion. Plenty of beautiful designs were on show but I’ve narrowed it down to five ladies who I think combined classic elegance with modern glamour. Drum roll please…

Ah Rita, you did good! Whilst she’s usually a little too far on the wild side for me, I absolutely loved her red carpet look by Marchesa. The new pixie hair cut suits her so well and combined with the structured navy dress it was a modern update on old Hollywood glamour for me.

Like the perfect princess, I adored Felicity Jones’ champagne hued gown. The elegant embellished bodice and the satin full skirt is like something out of my Disney dreams. Designed by Alexander McQueen, it’s the epitome of feminine elegance to me.

Wearing Saint Laurent, fellow Aussie Margot Robbie was a stunner. I love her new blonde lob which perfectly complimented the swishy layers of her black dress with its dainty mesh sleeves. We all know in my book, you can’t really go wrong in black.

Whilst she’ll always be Elle Woods to me, Reese showed us that she’s still got it at this year’s red carpet. What a killer figure! Tom Ford sure knows how to cut a figure-hugging dress.

Known for wearing jaw-dropping dresses in the past, this year J.Lo’s gown was worthy of a fairytale. Layers of tuelle adorned with intricate embellishments made her the star of the show. The warm honey hue of this Ellie Saab design was perfect for her tone. When it's Ellie Saab you really can't go wrong.

Take a look back at my best dressed at the Oscars from 2013 and 2014.

Suitcase. Tegernsee, Germany - Travel Guide

Image
I take great pleasure from visiting destinations that are a little more under the radar. Sure big capitals like Paris and Barcelona have their drawcards, but there's something majestic and quaint about visiting a smaller town for a few days. Living a local way of life.    Tegernsee is a storybook little town in the Bavarian region of Germany. It's somewhere I've long wanted to visit - my mum was here in the '80s and has often spoken of its magic and charm. Last week, I arrived. I checked into my jaw-dropping home for the next few days - Das Tegernsee and set up camp in my beautiful suite overlooking the lake; complete with balcony, shower large enough to host a party and bath tub with lookout. Whilst spring had arrived there was certainly still plenty of evidence of winter with bare trees, brisk air and snow-covered ground. I stood in wonder on the balcony of my chic alpine chalet, marvelling at the lake and giggling as a trickle of falling snowflakes landed on my nose...

Style It. August Celeb Street Style

Image
This month’s street style round up almost became an ode to Emily Ratajkowski. Her looks have been so on-point throughout August I feel like I’ve seen her in an incredible outfit every single day. To keep it interesting I thought I better find some other babes to round it out, but full props to Emily – I’d love to raid your wardrobe… Dress // Over The Knee Boots // Antique Ring // Ring Pack Here she is in what I think is my favourite look of hers this month. The golden girl of the moment, Emily Ratajkowski looks so chic in a ‘60s inspired white Zimmerman dress and she’s rockin’ those over the knee boots with flair. Lust-worthy. Ribbed Knit Top // Skinny Jeans // Tote Bag // Sandals // Sunglasses // Cuff Bracelet // Bangle Miranda Kerr does transit in laidback luxe style. If only we could all have a limited edition Saint Laurent tote. Sigh. Loving the ribbed knit and cool, casual jeans; she makes a trans-Atlantic flight seem effortless. Bardot Top // Skinny Jeans // Bag // ...
