2013 Golden Globe’s Fashion Review

Amy Pohler and Tina Fey

The Golden Globe Awards aired last night, and the ladies of comedy; Amy Poehler and Tina Fey stole the show. With their brilliant one liners and feminine charms they totally wooed the audience. So much so, I hope to see them hosting again!

Now lets take a look at some of my looks from last night’s red carpet:

2013 golden globeHere are three of my favorite ladies rocking flashy black dresses. Nicole Kidman’s dress was quite stunning on live TV, it certainly accentuated her tiny waist. I love the shape of Selma Hayek’s sequin number and Helen Mirrian; she’s like a good bottle of wine and just keeps getting better with age!

Golden Globe fashionWhite was a popular choice on the red carpet this year. I think one of my favorite looks was Hayden Panettiere’s beautifully soft Cavalli dress. Jennifer Lopez always stuns, and this lovely delicate lace dress was no exception. The biggest surprise for me came from Michelle Dockery from Downton Abbey. A very bold yet simple statement gown by Alexandre Vauthier. Quite different from what we usually see her in on Downton!

I have to say, my best dressed lady at the Golden Globe Awards was Jennifer Lawrence, who also took home the award for Best Actress in a Comedy:Jennifer Lawrence Golden Globes

This beautiful Dior Haute Couture gown accentuated Jennifer’s curves in all the right places. Her hair looked soft and feminine and that silver clutch is killer! Anyone else super excited for the new Hunger Games?!

The most best dressed couple goes to Jon Hamm and his gorgeous girl, Jennifer Westfeldt:

The biggest and boldest choice of the night goes to none other than Lucy Liu:Lucy Liu Golden Globes

I think this is a dress that you either love or hate. I personally LOVED this Carolina Herrera gown. The shape and the colours were so pretty! The only reason she didn’t beat out Jennifer Lawrence for my best dressed was because of that hair. Love braids, but this one was a little to distracting and messy for this dress.

Who did you think was best dressed at the golden globe awards? Did you have a favorite moment? I loved Jodie Foster’s emotional speech. Pretty sure she had everyone in tears. What about Adele, seriously could she be any cuter? And I must say, Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell almost stole the show with this awesome presenting speech:

The Goodbye of Gossip Girl XOXO

GossipGirl2006

Have you been a die-hard Gossip Girl fan from the beginning? When Dan first laid eyes on Serena at the train station, when Blair realized Serena was with Nate behind her back, when Jenny hardly wore any make-up, when whats-her-face Vanessa still existed?! They were so young 6 years ago, and we grew up along with them.

Gossip Girl Cast young

I can’t decide what I am going to be missing the most, the magnetic chemistry of Chuck and Blair, Serena’s fashion, Dan’s jaw line and ever changing hairstyle, or all the surprise guest appearances by people from Rachel Zoe to Florence and The Machine…

If you haven’t watched the GG finale yet stop here, SPOILER ALERT!

What did you think of the finale? Was it every thing you had hoped for? I kinda wished that it was a full 2 hour episode. Even though it was lovely to see the cast chat about their characters, and hear to Ed Westwick talk in his real voice, 2 hours would have been nice. But I’ll take what I can get.

Did you predict who Gossip Girl was? My money was on Jenny, but Dan totally makes sense. Dan is the writer and all! And what did we think of TWO weddings within one hour? I must say, Chuck and Blair didn’t hold a candle to Dan and Serena; FOR ONCE!

Chuck with Son

Not sure how I feel about Chuck and Blair having a little 4-year-old running around, (did you picture them having kids?) seeing Jack and Georgina get cozy, and realizing that it took Dan and Serena that long to tie the knot. The “cutsy” happily ever after ending took me a bit off guard. I mean, I’m glad they wrapped everything up in a nice little bow, but what’s Gossip Girl without a little shock and drama?

Chuck and Blair Wedding

Did anyone else think that kiss was a little weak for Chuck and Blair? Also, NO ONE should wear a baby blue and white tux. Not even Chuck. However, Blair looked absolutely stunning in Elie Saab!

Dan and Serena

Now Dan, when he entered the room in that killer suit with his hair slicked back, WOW. Than Serena, in typical fashion, comes out in a borderline “too flashy” wedding dress; another WOW. Did anyone else think it’s a little bitter-sweet these two aren’t together in real life anymore? (Not that I’m not happy for Blake and Ryan)

So now I’m not sure what is going to fill my Monday night with teen drama? I feel the need to clarify, I am no longer a teenager but something about this New York fantasy world of drama has always appealed to me. (Sex in the City anyone?) I’m trying the show Revenge on for size; the Hampton’s are close to New York right? I’m curious what Carrie Diaries is going to be like. The trailers look terrible, I’m going to hope it’s not!

Will you too be grieving the loss of Gossip Girl? What will you miss the most? Who will you miss the most?

XOXO Gossip Girl

People’s Sexiest Man Alive Predictions

11/11/2012

Leave a comment

Rumours are swirling around the net saying this year People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive is going to be everyone’s favorite stripper, Channing Tatum. I get it, Magic Mike (and 21 Jump Street) was a huge success for him this year. He’s not exactly my cup of tea, but I GET it. Have you seen him dance?! Not only that, but also seems like a very down-to-earth guy that isn’t afraid to make fun of himself. Major bonus points for that!

Who else would you add to this years sexiest men? Usually the men on the list are on it due to a popularity contest, and not just based on looks. Here are a few of my predictions this year:

With the success of Looper and The Dark Night Rises, there is no way Joseph Gordon-Levitt wont make the cut.

The Hemsworth brothers had great successes this year. Liam in the smash hit Hunger Games, and Chris with Avengers and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Mark Wahlberg can pretty much always make the list. He keeps pumping out hit comedies like Ted, and action movies like Contraband, this wont be the end of Marky-Mark any time soon!

Do you recognize this face? You might not, since in Tom Hardy’s biggest hit this year he was wearing a mask playing Bane in The Dark Night Rises. He also starred in a the western hit Lawless, where his chemistry with Jessica Chastain was magnetic! Tom is just starting his way into MAJOR stardom. (BTW- if you haven’t seen him in Bronson, and you’re OK with a little violence you must watch it. Brilliant acting!)

Robert Downey Jr. keeps pumping out huge hits such as The Avengers and Sherlock Holmes, which means we can guarantee to see him in the pages of People. Pretty sure he hasn’t left the list since the ’80′s!

After wooing all the ladies with his a capella abilities in the comedy Pitch Perfect, up-and-comer Skylar Astin is sure to make the list.

Because what girl doesn’t secretly wish she had a run in with James Bond? Skyfall was just released and it is rumoured to be Daniel Craig’s best performance as Bond yet!

It wouldn’t be a Sexiest Man List without finishing it off with some Ryan Gosling. It’s mandatory.

Who would you vote to be People’s Sexiest Men Alive?

Brad Pitt’s Chanel No. 5 Comercial

10/15/2012

1 Comment

 Brad Pitt’s highly anticipated commercial for Chanel No. 5 was released today, and it’s, well, artsy? Take a look:

The thought of Brad Pitt selling ladies perfume was always a little strange to me, and now getting to finally see this commercial, I don’t feel it’s any less weird about it. First of all, it feels very pretentious and beneath him. Yes, Chanel is an amazing high-end designer brand, but for Brad to do such a low-budget commercial where he is just rambling and gazing off into space make’s me feel like, isn’t he better than this?

Anyway, that’s just my thoughts, how do you feel about Brad in this commercial? To my male readers, does it reach out to you? Does it make you want to buy some perfume for your girl? Is that what they were trying to accomplish in the first place?

Here are some more boring-ly styled photos from Brad’s Chanel campaign:

Make-Up Tip Of The Week: The Power Of Finishing Powder

07/27/2012

2 Comments

This powder is pure magic. It’s something I’ve had in my repertoire for many years now, and I can’t live without it. It is essential if you want your make-up to last all day.

HD Powder by Make Up ForEver is a finishing powder. Once you have applied your entire face, take a large powder brush and spread the powder over your entire face, even your eyes. Just make sure you don’t inhale as it is a loose powder! This magic powder will increase the longevity of your make-up and keep you looking shine free and fresh all day!

Have you noticed some celebrity photos floating around with bad white powder on their face?

Guaranteed these ladies are wearing HD Powder, but it was poorly executed! My guess is their make-up artist applied in a dark limo just before they hit the red carpet and unfortunately they didn’t blend it well. However, this is a product is still used by many different celebrities. It’s how they manage to look flawless at the end of a 3 hour Oscar show!

Are you going to run out and get some HD Powder? My suggestion is blend blend blend! Blend until it is completely translucent. Another tip is to tap your brush before you apply, so you’re not dealing with a huge bunch of powder at once, and so that you can build it up! You can purchase you’re own powder at Sephora online or in stores.

The Facts:

What it is:
A universal translucent finishing powder to be applied over foundation or worn alone.

What it does:
Sets the foundation and slightly mattifies skin without changing its natural contours. This 100% mineral silica powder softens the appearance of imperfections. Completely evens out the complexion for a glowing, radiant look. One universal shade for all skintones.

What else you need to know:
It’s completely translucent and goes on any skintone. Its dermatologist-tested and talc-free formula does not dry the skin and is formulated with 100% silica.

Every year Cannes comes around and Diane Kruger rules the red carpets. She stuns. Something about her style is just so effortless yet glamorous. Can you believe she is her own stylest? She defiantly gets extra points for that!

Here is Diane at the film festival Jury Photo Call wearing a Versus’ dress and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Brad Pitt To Be The Face of Chanel No. 5

05/09/2012

Leave a comment

How to you feel about this? I am feeling a bit mixed myself. I have nothing against Brad Pitt himself, but for Chanel to go SO commercial seems a little strange. Did you know this is the first time the French fashion house used a male to promote a female perfume? A little random right?

I also just miss having real models in ads and not celebrities taking over the pages of my fashion magazines. I don’t know about you, but remember when you didn’t associate a brand with a celebrity? Did that make you like the brand more or less? Did you actually create your own opinion about that brand? I find now brands choose celebrities too boost their profits and create a customer base they never had before. What customer is Brad Pitt going to gain for Chanel? Will Brad Pitt make you run out and buy some perfume? We can look forward to seeing Brad’s ad later in the year.
