Red Nose Day 2013

If you haven't already guessed today is Red Nose Day, a charity that not only does such great work here in the UK but also in Africa, and this year is the 25th anniversary of the big red nose!!! As well as making me feeling a little old, I remember the very first one, I thought I would do my bit and style up my new Stella McCartney for Red Nose Day t-shirt, wear a silly red nose and share all the goodies I picked up off the high street.

I first have to apologise for the quality of my style piccies, normally I like to have someone take them, because basically I am rubbish with using the tripod – I think the majority had me looking away, blurred and a few even cut my head off the picture – but I really wanted to share today so I have tried my best to show off the t-shirt as I love it.

Each year the charity produces some amazing goodies and basically there is something for everyone and each piece of Red Nose Day merchandise raises money for the charity.

So why not pick up this year's red nose designs at Sainsbury's for £1 – there are three to collect: T-Spex, Triceytops and Dinomite – I am not sure which one mine is I just loved its cute grin. The supermarket is also selling everything from mugs, bubbles, wristbands, air fresheners, and the cutest Red Nose Day Dino Roar cuddle toy, which when squeezed makes the most hilarious sounds and I just adore it.

Then there are the fashion bits, how about a Stella McCartney designed t-shirt? I picked up the fun Marilyn one at my local TK Maxx for £14.99, not only is it cute, but at least £8 of the price goes to Comic Relief – I even matched my glasses so Marilyn and I could be BFFs!!!

Finishing off my goodies is from one of my favourite designers, Lulu Guinness who has teamed up with Sainbury's on three limited edition totes. I have the Kooky Kat tote thanks to my mum and I am still on the look out for the Dolls Face one but at £5 a pop these beauties literally flew off the shelves.

So you've bought the t-shirt, the nose, the roaring dino, the tote and the pin badge what's left? Well as a treat for being so good buy yourself some Maltesers as for ever special Red Nose Day pack the chocolate brand is donating money to the charity!!!

Girl Crush: Diane Kruger In Stella McCartney

Who: Diane Kruger aka my girl crush

Where: At the photo call for her new film, ‘Der Naechste, Bitte!’ in Berlin, Germany

Wearing: A black daisy wool-twill Stella McCartney waistcoat paired with Stella McCartney ‘Christine’ black and white floral-print silk tapered pants from the spring/summer 2013 collection, teamed with black pointy heels and a white watch

Verdict: Finally some Diane Kruger style action, not a red carpet look but I will take what I can get it. As always she looks gorgeous and effortlessly stylish all at the same time, not fair right, but I have to give it to her I love her take on the current monochrome trend – floral print teamed with black and white accessories – so chic.

These trousers are divine and even make me want a pair of floral pants, now if only I had Diane’s figure, I just love the loose tailored fit to the pants, which is balanced nicely with the sharp tailored vest. Such a great look.

Shop Her Style: Both Stella McCartney pieces are on Net-a-Porter and if you want to recreate Diane’s look you will need £870. The Christine floral pants, which I love are £535 and the chic snooker-style waistcoat minus the sponsor badges will set you back £335.

So what do you think of Diane’s effortless style? Would you wear her look?

After more floral trouser options? Then check out the selection below:

Gambit Premiere: Cameron Diaz In Stella McCartney

Who: Cameron Diaz

Where: At the world premiere of her new film, Gambit at Empire Leicester Square, London

Wearing: A black and ivory satin Stella McCartney cocktail dress with a plunging neckline, teamed with skinny black ankle strap heels, a black-and-gold Tom Binns diamond cuff, and a satin Anya Hindmarch black clutch

Verdict: First up, Cameron gets extra points for wearing this gorgeous dress on a November night in London, she must have been freezing. I love the simply-yet-sexy vibe of this dress that fits her perfectly. I love the length, falling just above her knee is chic, and I adore the hidden pockets, but for me this dress is all about the plunging v-neck – wow, wow, wow!!!

Cameron talks in the latest issue of ELLE how she is friends with Stella McCartney and how much she admires the designer, well her friend came through for her as this dress is stunning – a great red carpet look.

What do you think of Cameron’s look?

The Dark Knight Rises: Anne Hathaway Works Two Stella McCartney Looks

Anne Hathaway has already wowed me with her gorgeous Prabal Gurung gown, but I was wondering how long into The Dark Knight Rises promo tour it would be until the Stella McCartney came out, after she attended the Resort 2013 collection last month.

For two TV appearance in New York this week Anne went for two very elegant looks from Stella McCartney’s Spring 2013 collection. First up was the Late Show with David Letterman and my favourite of the two looks, Anne wore a black cocktail dress with silk fringe detailing and I think she looks absolutely stunning.

Then there was a cute black and white gingham cut out dress for her appearance on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon TV show, with both looks paired with black Prada heels.

One things for sure, Anne really is having a black and white moment on this promo tour. Here’s hoping for colour at tonight’s London Premiere, I would love to she her working a vibrant Alexander McQueen number – but I have a feeling it might be one of Stella McCartney’s eveningwear collection gowns or even a tuxedo.

Cover Loving: Penelope Cruz For Madame Figaro

There is something mesmerizing about Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, whether it is in a movie, on the red carpet, or on a magazine cover, for me she is a modern-day screen siren that always brings a touch of glamour. I am loving these two covers of her photographed by Nelson Simoneau for French magazine Madame Figaro for their July issue, both flaunt her amazing body.

My favourite cover has to be her wearing that gorgeous Balmain lambskin beaded gold spring/summer 2012 jacket, that alone makes a great cover teamed it over an Eras bathing suit and this is one hot cover. I love the styling, her pose, and most of all her sultry make-up and wet hair.

The second cover is just as stunning, that Stella McCartney mini, which has also been worn by Charlize Theron, looks incredible on her.

I don’t know about you, but for me Penelope Cruz still has it!

Resort 2013: Stella McCartney Throws A Very Chic Garden Party

Yesterday in New York, Stella McCartney hosted a very chic garden party to showcase her Resort 2013 collection in one of the most enjoyable looking presentations I have ever seen, seriously it is making me want to move to NYC they get such great events.

This wasn’t just an ordinary catwalk this was models dancing, blowing bubbles, drinking cocktails from jam jars, and playing retro games – I am going to call it the most chic carnival ever!!! The collection itself look incredible I loved all the yellow and baby blue colours, seriously divine, as well as the hints of Barbie pink, floral and leopard prints, as well as clean whites.

The clothes themselves as with all Stella’s collection looked completely wearable from the bell-bottoms with tuxedo stripes to the floral and brocade blazers, to the adorable Capri pants and gorgeous baby blue pleated dresses, and oh my I am loving the leopard print beauties – those coats are high on my wishlist.

Of course with it being Stella, celebrities turned up and showed their support including a very chic Anne Hathaway who looked stunning in a white Stella McCartney suit teamed with her new pixie cut, which I am loving, nude heels and a classic pair of Ray-Bans.

But I think my best celeb look has to go to Solange Knowles, who looked adorable in a purple dress by the designer, also check out her arm candy, very cool look – also her hair is divine love the natural look on her.

For more pictures of the carnival that is Stella McCartney’s resort 2013 presentation head on over and ‘like’ my Facebook page.

MTV Movie Awards: Round Up – The Standouts & The Predictable

This years MTV Movie Awards weren’t what I was expecting, normally for MTV’s award ceremonies there isn’t much off the red carpet that I want to report on, but this time round I was pleasantly surprised, granted there were still a few predictable choices from the likes of Jennifer Aniston, and a few shockers, yes Jenna Dewan I am talking about you, but overall it was quite an interesting red carpet.

One of my favourite looks has to be Elizabeth Banks in this gorgeous, very trendy and perfect for the MTV Awards Elie Saab jumpsuit from the autumn/winter 2012 ready-to-wear collection. I absolutely love the lace panelling to the arms, legs and neckline, as well as the flawless tailoring of the jumpsuit, which fits her perfectly. Also I am glad to see Lulu Guinness’ lips clutch hitting the red carpet.

Next up we have three of my other favourite looks from three young actresses that really did shine. From Shailene Woodley giving Elizabeth Banks a run for her money for best jumpsuit in a black tuxedo halter menswear-inspired look by Stella McCartney from the autumn/winter 2012 London Evening Collection. From this picture her hair lets it down but trust me her fishtail braid was a divine touch, I am also loving her black lucite Stella McCartney heel sandals.

Emma Stone continued to impress me in this edgy monochrome Martin Grant Paris cocktail dress, which has been modified from an autumn/winter 2012 look, the architectural detailing to the bodice really makes this dress standout, plus her gorgeous nude leather ‘Grace’ Brian Atwood heels and tousled updo. Very chic look.

Working sports luxe to perfection was Emma Watson who looked gorgeous and edgy in Brood’s autumn/winter 2012 digital-printed top and skirt. Finishing off her flawless look were Tabitha Simmons Gothic strappy sandal heels.

I do love a good collaboration and hitting the MTV Movie Awards red carpet was a one-of-a-kind Christian Siriano strapless black spiral pleated black silk taffeta mini adorned with Timex watches and Swarovski crystals and Christina Ricci worked it. Styled by Brad Goreski, this dress is different but utterly striking inspired by John Singer Sargent’s 1884 oil painting titled Portrait of Madame X. I love the detailing on the bodice with the watch gears and faces.

Now to the predictable, which might I add I don’t dislike I just wasn’t surprised with their choices. From Kristen Stewart in a Guishem tight-fitted mini from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, to Jessica Biel in a simple-yet-textured Chanel dress from the spring/summer 2012 collection, I am grateful that she wore those gorgeous Barbara Bui heels as they are hot.

The most predictable award however has to go to Jennifer Aniston, who once again wore a LBD, granted this one is leather, but still it is black and from one of her go-to designers Valentino. Hey she looks good in this one shoulder number from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, but come on if any award show deserved colour it was the MTV Movie Awards.
