Funky Punk

-
This years Met Gala saw a whole new take on themes and dresses. With the chosen theme being "Punk" it was decided that the museum would be transformed into all think rock and roll to show how the creation and development of Punk has influenced fashion. I mean we all know that Debbie Harry and her punk friends had an influence but I thought it was AMAZING to see how some of the worlds most stylish celebrities took the idea when it came to their dresses.

There was one person who stood out miles for me (but i'll keep that until last) There was also one designer/store that stood out a mile with their designs. So instead of showing you all the pictures that you have probably already seen I am going to focus on three of the most amazing, hand made dresses of the night.


Topshop being the love of my life anyway, just sent me over the edge by creating these AMAZING hand crafted gowns for the Met Gala. Nicole Richie, Ashley Madekwe, Jourdan Dunn, Jaime King and Julianne Hough all wore personally made gowns and not one single one let the brand down.

They were STUNNING! Of course having some of the worlds most beautiful people wearing them helps in making them look even better, but they are some of my favourite dresses I have ever seen at any red carpet event.


Revenge star Ashley looked stunning in her Topshop gown, how amazing are they. With obvious time taken and amazing craftsmanship to make the dresses they look beautiful. This is made even better by the bottom trim. Simple and classic.

But there was one person who stole the show completely for me. Being brave enough to take the punk theme to the next level. 
Nicole Richie arrived in her Topshop gown teamed with her hair dyed grey! Now I had seen on her twitter the morning of the event that she was dying her hair but she gave no clues as to what colour or why. 

Although she is tiny and has received a lot of bad press about being so slim, the combination of her bright grey hair and stunning off white gown was perfectly punk.

At least Nicole doesn't need to worry about turning grey. She can certainly pull it off!

Well done ladies, punk served you well.

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
