So life well and truly took over in the last few months, but I'm back with hopefully a summer full of exciting content on the way. Beautiful Cherry Blossom, Drumcondra, Dublin. The last three months have been absolutely crazy, since I last posted, I landed myself an interview with an amazing fashion designer in London and somehow managed to get myself a three month internship this summer. So the hunt for accommodation in London, is well and truly underway (if anybody knows of anywhere, send it my way!) So less than a month to go, til I head off to London for three months. So excited!

Once again, turning up with a beautiful plunging neckline, the American Idol Judge was certainly one of the most talked about looks from the night. Jennifer Aniston turned up in a custom m...

So I finally got round to doing a review of the BAFTA Red Carpet. I'm gonna try keep it short and sweet because it's nearly Oscar time and that'll be a big one. If I'm brutally honest, there was no outright winner for me at the BAFTA's, however I've chosen my top six, so in case you didn't get a chance to catch up on the BAFTA fashion, here ya go... What: 68th British Academy Film Awards When: 8th February, 2015 Where: Royal Opera House, London Laura Bailey wore a gorgeous all white, full length Emilia Wickstead dress. Jenna Louise Coleman looked stunning in a beautiful, pocketed, floral Rochas dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Kotur bag and Asprey jewels. Keira Knightley turned up in an adorable Giambattista Valli dress, that worked as a great maternity dress, covering her bump. Rosamund Pike wore a beautiful black halter neck dress by Roland Mouret with Bulgari jewels. Douglas Booth was out to impress and that...
