Billboard Music Awards: My 10 best dressed.

Last weekend was the Billboard Music Awards in Vegas baby!. As always (well, usually always) the stars looked stunning. Here's my top ten!
TEN
This is a cute dress. The block colours and textures compliment each other awesomely. And, paired with barley these heels, this is such an ideal summer look. I love the yellow band! Gives it added life!
NINE
Iggy looks actually quite delicate here! Haha. A nice change for her. I love the colour and material of this dress. I think the lace gives it extra sass. I would have chosen a darker shade of red for me lips though.
EIGHT
I'm LOVING this look on Natasha! I want this top in my life! Seriously, been on the market for sheer white tops for a while now. i recently brought one, but it ain't this, so I will have to keep looking haha. Plus, paired with the pants and heels- girl is looking summer ready! Love the hair colour and style too.
*side note* I want to hear some new music from her now!
SEVEN
Kelly is looking hot to trot! Woah! What a top, eh?! Well, not much is there, but the things that need to be covered, are, so it's all good. Haha! I love this outfit together- all about sharp edges and cuts! Black satin cannot be anything but sexy, right?! The hairstyle seriously works with the 'fit too! I love Kelly- she's so dope!
SIX
This is a 'quiet' look for Ms Minaj. But, I'm loving it! Obvs haha. Black is sexy and she looks stunning in this cut out number with her equally as black hair. Her skin is shining. Brandy wore this dress at an award show earlier this year too! Just goes to show- it's a great choice.
FIVE
This co-ord suit is beautiful. The pattern, colour, and tweed rock! Sarah looks so cute and quite sophisticated in it. I love the zip detail of it. And the heels!!! Ahhhh! Where can I get myself a pair?? Haha #wantinmylife
FOUR
Shakira looks stunning in this blue number. I love the look of it- like a mermaid's tail. Haha! It suits her superbly and the arm details makes me give it two thumbs up!! The heels though ... not so much. 
THREE
You'd think Kylie was a grown woman in this dress! Haha! Girl looks stunning. Love the hair, the dress and heels. Everything basically. Simple outfit, but it packs a punch!
TWO
This is such a beautiful dress. Carrie looks great in it. I love the colour pairing and the detail of it. The neckline is very unique, and gives the dress edge. I would have gone for a silver clutch perhaps. 
ONE
And it's Ms Lopez who takes the prize!! Though this dress is similar to Iggy's... this one is better! JLo is giving us Greek goddess here! The dress and up do hairstyle go hand in hand. LOVE the heels too. The colour looks perfect on her complexion and is standing out as her make is nude and taking a back seat to the dress. The studs make her look cute! Haha! Plus, a smile never hurts...

Do you agree? Love these outfits?

Until next time,

The sun wants to play!

Finally the sun is here! What wonderful weekend weather us Londoners had, right?! Twas brill! It seems like it is here to stay! Yay! This outfit is perfect for a summer's evening night out with friends. Or a day chilling in the park (with sandals). Or shopping. Or wherever, really. It's quite simple, but with these fab heels and my AWESOME sequined denim jacket, this grey plain maxi dress is jazzed up! I've mentioned it before on the blog, but I love, love, love this jacket. My mum knows my style (it was my birthday present) and went right when she decided to get me this. It's so unique, I've seen no one else with it (yay) and it's a compliment grabber everywhere I take it! Haha! I mean, I would compliment the person I see wearing this number myself!
Dress- H&M
Heels- ASOS
Jacket- Replay
Necklace- Primark

Have you been Budapest? Where do you recommend we go?

Until next time,

Met Gala: My 10 best dressed.

I know I am late with this post, but better late than never eh?! Anyhoos, I found this list hard, all these ladies looked fab at the Met Gala 2014! I say this list is my top 10 out of ALL the attires I saw, and this isn't a ranking... sort of. Haha. Enjoy! 
TEN
Emma looks simply stunning. These shades of pink are working for her and doing her justice indeed! Props for her embracing her complexion- she is representing her signature colour (Legally Blonde ref haha). I LOVE this maxi skirt! The slit and the tail increase the sexiness of a typical maxi skirt. And with this simplistic hairdo, Emma looks great! 
NINE
I like the fact that Rosie wore something that is not typically seen at the Met Gala. This number is fantastic on her. This leather look is hot, hot, hot! I would love to rock it myself! The earrings and heels are great choices too. I could see Nikki Minaj wearing this haha. Black, gold and leopard rocks!!
EIGHT
Ahhhh Hailee, how you have grown. This is monochrome number is very pretty. Suits her well I say. Nothing much special about it, but I do like the front hem detail- great idea to show of those gorgeous stain shoes. 
SEVEN
Miss Badu, Miss Badu, Miss Badu!! Wow! This outfit is screaming class and style- the Erykah Badu way. She is in a league of her own- both fashion and music wise. I do not see her enough on red carpets. Nevertheless, when she is on one, you know that her outfit will be as awesome and as unique as she is.
SIX
I don't know where to start with this one! Just love. That is all. She (and her stylist) knows what works for her and fully takes advantage of it! And why not?! It seems like Rih can rock almost any outfit/hairstyle and have people follow suit. This is definitely an outfit for inspiration!
FIVE
I have to say, I wasn't feeling that whole Topshop range that certain models were wearing at the Met Gala (see what Kendall Jenner and Chanel Iman wore for examples). HOWEVER, I have to say that Jourdan Dunn makes an exception! This dress is stunning on her! From the colour, her hair and lippy, her attire is on top form. Simply stunning and beautiful. The colour is just popping right off her skin!
FOUR
Emmy looks so sweet in this gown. I love the print and the exaggeration of it. I would love to have an occasion to wear something like this too. One day... This print is perfect for this season and is just damn right pretty!
THREE
This Burberry number is something else! Dita has done a great job with accessorising this number. The red accents increase the va-va-voom of the dress! So stunning on her! Showing off her curves and all! And, it ties in with the theme of the Met Gala- with was Charles James! He would be proud!
TWO
Liu Wen definitely got the memo for this year's Met Gala theme! This is a perfect dress! The colour, volume and structure are just perfect! I love it! And Liu looks absolutely wonderful in it. 
ONE
Arizona Muse (awesome name btw) takes gold this time! It was a close call with her and Liu though. Both dresses are similar and equally stunning. However, I prefer this dress as it looks somewhat more 'neater'. I know what I mean! Haha! But saying that, I would find it hard to pick which one to wear, if I had to choose. It reminds me of summer and cool drinks in the sun for some reason haha! The hair is too slick back for me, but 

Great summer outfits inspiration, right?!
Do you agree? Let me know what you think!

The best vintage find!!

Okay, probably not my best- but definitely one of- I couldn't possibly put them in a list!
I visited a friend of mine in Portsmouth, and when shopping, we came this awesome store and inside this said awesome store, was this awesome coat. I believe it was waiting for me. Haha!
I love long overcoats and when I saw this one, I knew it had to been mine. Even more so when I saw that it was only a fiver!! Happy days indeed. Of course, I did not think twice.
I feel you can wear it with literally anything- it vamps up any outfit. Here, I decided to pair it with a crop top and flares, and heels, of course. (A coat this long can easily drown you, but then again, it doesn't matter- it depends on the occasion). And completing the look, is my trusty Ted Baker side back- I'm good to go for a night out on the town!
On another note, I went shopping in Cow Vintage this past weekend? Have you been? I went to the store in Birmingham and I was very excited! There isn't one in London, so it had been a long time coming. I ended up purchasing a co-ord set. You'll see it soon...
Crop top-ASOS
Flares-Vintage
Coat (Love!!)-Vintage

Monotone.

I recently attended a BBQ for a university friend-it was like a mini reunion! It was so great to see everyone again after quite a while! It was a good old catch up! Anyways, outfit wise, I just went for the go-to colours when you feel like you got nothing to wear yet there is a fully stocked wardrobe staring right back at ya! (Don't get me wrong- I'm totally appreciative). Can I just say for myself- how awesomely cute are my flatform jellies. I've been asked numerous times and no, they ain't Juju jellies, I saw them in a shoe store in Westfield and knew I had to have them. I have not seen flatform jellies on anyone before so that was another incentive. Plus, I love anything that gives me height! Win win! Haha!
Black and white with a slash of red never fails...I mean, it's impossible to fail haha!!
Crop top- Primark
Pants- Primark
Fedora- H&M
Jellies- Unze (shop in Westfield)
