Marks and Spencer's SS13 Love...

I was having a general scroll around online yesterday during my lunch and I came across Marks and Spencer's SS13 range and couldn't get over how amazing it looked.  It's not really a brand that I even look at and really only go in with my mums but seriously I want it all! I actually tweeted a few pics yesterday.

Now when I'm looking for new purchases I really have to think about getting a few bits that I can work into both my casual and work wear wardrobe.  My work attire is strictly smart - none of this smart casual look (I would love to be able to get away with that).  So I've mixed my favorite bits into smart and casual looks.

Top to Bottom L-R: Floral Peplum Skirt £39.50, Bird Print Dress £35.00, Mystic Print Pencil Skirt £45.00, Mirror Print Blazer £49.50, Graphic Print Pencil Skirt (price not known) Floral Shirt £25.00

First off I would say that some of these are probably far too bright and colourful for my office, but worked in with some block covered pieces I think they would work brilliantly.  I'm in love with the three skirts and could see myself living in them in the summer - with a nice crisp white shirt!  The red dress is amazingly cute and even though it's probably not the usual office attire I might try this out on a client free day.  The jacket would go great with a little black dress and the shirt would be fab under one of my black dresses.  Also both the jacket and the shirt would work well with my casual gear!

Top to Bottom L-R: Tile Print Trousers £35.00, Dainty Print Shirt £35.00,  Denim Shirt £39.50,  Floral Print Trousers £17.50 

Love all of the above and want and need them in my wardrobe.  

The trousers are a bargain!

Top to Bottom L-R: Pale Pink Heels £25.00, Floral Box Clutch £29.50, Pink Satchel Bag £25.00, Floral Box Clutch £25.00, Blue Bowling Bag £35.00, Pastel Jewel Necklace £19.50

 Want them all!  Seriously how amazing is the selection.  The clutches are particularly gorgeous and not a bad price.  For £25.00 I want the Satchel but I couldn't find it up on the website just yet, but I'm going to stalk it.

Christmas Party Outfit

I am currently trying to decide on my Christmas Party Outfit for the 8th December.

I think I would like something sparkly but I am not sure. Here are a couple of options that I was looking at what do you think?

The above are from www.tesco.com , www.newlook.co.uk , www.warehouse.co.uk , www.debenhams.com.

Have you got your Christmas party outfit sorted?

Thanks

Oscars Best & Worst dressed

Nudes

Hilary Swank, Hailee Steinfield and Halle Berry.

(love Hailee Steinfields dress - age appropriate and fun but very suited to the Oscars)

(I'm not all that keen on Cate's or Michelle's really - Cate's is a little strange and Michelle's is just not that special)

Reds

Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway

(How amazing does Penelope look - she only had a baby about a month ago, although I'm not too keen on the dress)

Doing something different

Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson

Just the love the colour and style of the dress.

This girl has been seriously stylish this awards season. Love everything she's been wearing.

SAG Awards 2011 - Best and Worst

Ok so just some quick pics from last nights SAG Awards.

Overall, we weren't to overly impressed with the outfit choices. Some of them just seemed a bit flat.

But anyway, lets start with the bad first!

Jennifer Lawrence and Jane Lynch,

Both of these are just wrong. Jennifer Lawrence's outfit is far too bright with the black accents and the hair so doesn't work - everything about the look is not appropriate, but she's a newbie on the scene (I think she's in a film called Winter's Bone) so we can let her off a bit. Jane Lynch's dress is just the wrong, colour, material and style for her. She's clearly wanted to go more femine but gets it wrong in this one.



Nicole Kidman,

Obviously this fits into her usual style but just looks a little granny like.

Diane Agron,

The colour of this is nice and it could possible look better on someone else. But I'm not convinced on the hemline, accessorises and makeup choices for this one.

Christina Hendricks,

Some people will love this, but I'm just not sure. After how stunning she looked at the Golden Globes, i just find this a very strange look for her - sort of dinner jacket meets dressing gown.

January Jones,

Ok so the outfit, makeup and hair all work together, but I'm not keen on the shape or pattern of the dress. Once again a let down after the Golden Globes.

The Ok, but not wowed selection,

Natalie Portman,

Ok so she does look lovely in the dress, but once again I'm the same as the Golden Globes, it just doesn't wow. But congrats on another award!

Heather Morris,

This is a very pretty dress, but the colour just doesn't do much. She's kind of ended up looking all one colour. Although I think her hair and makeup looks great.

Lea Michele,

Love the simplified look after the Golden Globes gown. She's really pulled the look off well, but I do feel a bit underwhelmed as she is usually a bit more braver with her choices.

Julie Stiles,

I actually really like the simple look she's gone for here. It really suits her style and a marked improvement from the Golden Globes

Claire Danes,

Love this dress, just not keen on the makeup, hair or the weird decision to wear the belt. It so doesn't add anything to the outfit and if anything it just takes away for it.

Kim Kardashian,

love the colour and detailing really pop on this dress. She looks curvy in all the right places. The weird bedazzled boob though does draw a lot of attention to her top half, but if you've got it flaunt it lol.

The best.

Ok so this list is very small, as like I felt a bit disappointment with the outfits on show - a bit underwhelming.

Tina Fey,

Love the detailing and shape of this dress on her. Really shows off her figure and the colour is perfect for her. I'm not too keen on her hair but it does work for the dress.

And finally best dress of the night for me is Mila Kunis, in Alexander McQueen.

Everything works in this outfit. Love the pattern and the way it sits. Her hair and makeup matches perfectly! She just looks stunning.

Bring on the Oscars now!
