RAISE YOUR GLASS - THE BLONDE IS GOING 18...

Hello Everyone!
So guess what -!!TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!! As unfortunate as it is, my 18th birthday had come crashing into the first week back to school - however despite my lack of sleep and renewed stress levels, I'm determined to enjoy every second! Last weekend my parents kindly organised a party for me to celebrate with family and friends - which I let them take over, as I tend to be unorganised when it comes to arranging events. It was a lovely opportunity to have a toast and say 'hell yes, we've made it though the first step, here's to the rest'!

As I was so wrapped up with dancing the evening away, with party classics including: Barbie Girl and Cha Cha Slide (you get the picture) I didn't get chance to take many photos to show you. Instead I thought I'd post a special 'What I Wore' post, as I just loved my outfit that evening oh and a few snaps with my sister and friends before hand too :)

What I Wore: Dress - New Look, Shoes - Debenhams, Nail Varnish - Ciate 

Well that's all from me, I'll do a little birthday post tomorrow for you!
Until then... See you soon

Style Spotter - Oscar's 2013 Red Carpet...

First off  - Make sure you enter my giveaway I'm running!

I haven't had chance yet to watch the Oscars 2013. Mainly because I wasn't staying up till 2 o'clock in the morning to watch it, on Tuesday night! But, I'm hoping to catch up with it all tonight on my reliable laptop, in the comfort of my living room.
However, I've been stalking the internet, to see the latest of the celebrity's style, as they waltzed down the Red Carpet!
Pale hue's, shocking Red's and lots of jewel embellishment's were a popular choice for many of the celebrities, with cutting edge dresses aimed to catch the camera. I've done a little post for you to show some of my favourite's and the 'style alike' looks too!

1. Jennifer Lawrence get's my 'Best Dressed' award as she wore a 1950's style Christian Dior ballgown. Although a few minor technical faults (e.g. being unable to walk in it), It really stole the whole evening. Her hair was swept back, with complimenting silver clutch and delicate jewellery to keep a stunning minimalistic look.
2. Kristin Chenoweth looked like a princess in a crystal embellished gown. All she needed was a tiara!
3. Amanda Seyfried wore a stunning Alexander McQueen gown. She never fails to look beautiful in the simplest ways, although this dress may not have been the best to match her completion! Still I wouldn't mind giving up my wardrobe to wear this stunning jewelled dress!

Both Sally Field and Jennifer Aniston wore red. Sally in a stunning Valentino gown, was later caught out, when Hilary Swank also wore a very similar at the Vanity Fair after party (seem's all the celebrity's wanted their hands on a Red dress this season!). Still it's fair to say, she looked amazing! As for Jennifer Aniston, she pulls of pretty much anything - and manages to make her Valentino dress look effortless. Many Critic's have claimed her as a disappointment- but it's fair to say not everyone can pull off a red dress like Jennifer!

Pale Hue's were dominating this year's red carpet with Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathoway and Kristen Stewart all opting for a 'lighter shade'. Jessica Chastain's Giorgio Armani strapless gown, dazzled with a covering of crystals (jealous?). Anne Hathoway, after a last minute dress change from a Valentino dress (rummered to have been similar to that of Amanda Seyfried), appeared in a Prada gown - which looked effortless! Kristian Stewart, appearing in crouches, still managed to look amazing as she hobbled down the red carpet in a  Reed Krakoff - and mismatching shoes (but then there's always a first for everything at the oscars!).

Well there's my little review of the Oscars! Did you get chance to see Adele perform Sky Fall? It was AMAZING! (just saying).

Lots of Love,
