2011 OSCARS FASHION

If you were at the Oscars on Monday and weren't wearing red, purple or something that sparkles then you were in a very small minority! There were a lot of shoulders on show and plenty of bling. Heres some of my most memorable looks (click pics to enlarge)

Anne Hathaway's first look of the night was from Valentino, Jennifer Hudson squeezed her lovely lady lumps into Versace, Jennifer Lawrence went custom made with Calvin Klein and (my pick of the berry bunch) Sandra Bullock rocked in Vera Wang.

Natalie Portman glowed in Rodarte, Scarlett Johansson embraced the lace trend with Dolce & Gabbana, Mila Kunis (my fave lavender lady) looked amazing in Elie Saab and Cate Blanchett once again stole the show in Givenchy Couture.

Halle Berry thankfully got a little more ladylike in Marchesa, Michelle Williams stunned in Oscar de la Renta, Hilary Swank sauntered down the carpet in Gucci Premiere and my pick for most sparkly!) Mandy Moore looked beautiful in Monique L'huillier. (honourable mention to Hayley Steinfeld in Marchesa)

PHOTO OF THE DAY : HAPPY VALENTINES!

Hope you all had someone to share a little love with today (romantic or otherwise!)

PHOTO OF THE DAY : GLAMOUR RAINY

A rainy day in Brisneyland today (at least it has cooled things off) I love rainy days, but rainy Sundays are better because you get to enjoy them from under a quilt! Not raining where you are? then take a listen at rainymood.com, a quirky little site that simply has a continual loop of soothing rain sounds (just be prepared for it to play as soon as you land on the page) ahhh the internet, full of surprises.

I HEART ART : ALBERTO SEVESO

Entitled 'Medicina Rossa' (red) and 'Sequence' (blue) these amazing shots are photographs of ink being poured into a fishbowl and capturing the reaction to water. Created by an Italian artist; Alverto Seveso, who's work has been labeled fantastic and 'mind blowing', I think they have a haunting almost ethereal feel to them don't you? very cool...seen via Trendland

COVER TO COVER : EMPORIUM

I picked up a copy of Myer's Emporium Magazine last week which featured an article on Jayson Brunsdon and his stylish apartment. I just thought I would share these pics because I love the framed sketches, and below that in an advertisement for Country Road, Im in lust with the middle outifit.

PHOTO OF THE DAY : COMIC RELIEF

Who wouldn't love a hat made from comic books! I certainly do and I love the super sweet bow as well (I wonder if that knot was hard to tie without rips), and while I am making requests, if those shoes at the bottom found a way into my wardrobe I wouldn't be mad... Both images from the same Vogue editorial in 2006 which I've used in a previous post. Photography by Tim Walker, pics via MyModernMet
