Style Focus : Emily Blunt

Critics Choice Awards, January 2013

Emily Blunt was my favourite look at last night's Golden Globes, she is looking fabulous at the moment. Her hair has slowly become lighter, she's super-toned....and she looks radiantly happy.

She would appear to be a girl on top of the world right now and it clearly shows. 

Here are my favourite looks from some of the Red Carpet events she has attended in the last few months. Always getting it right, I love all the hair and make-up looks too.

Golden Globes 2013 : Best Dressed Runners Up

Thandie Newton in Giles Deacon

An awards ceremony requires a gown in my opinion, and this dress would have been perfection full length....

Thandie looked gorgeous last night

Jessica Alba in Oscar de la Renta

Love the dress but not the clutch

Amy Adams in Marchesa

She always does Red Carpet so well, I think though this dress needed to be a darker colour, also the back view wasn't as great as the front view. 

Claire Danes in Versace

Rachel Weisz in Louis Vuitton

I'm still not really sure about the sheer bottom of this dress but Rachel is so beautiful that she can carry anything off.

Anne Hathaway in Chanel

Isla Fisher in Reem Acra

Party Season : The Little Black Dress Challenge

A  girlfriend asked me to help her find a "party dress"  - something that would work for several parties over the Christmas season.

Her request : a little black dress, knee length, classic/elegant in style.

Needs, if possible, to work for a daytime work function, for a night out on the town with girlfriends & for New Year's Eve.

For evening she wants to add a sparkly clutch & the dress will be worn with a new pair of killer black Jimmy Choos.

And....the cost of the dress should preferably under £50.

Quite some challenge....and actually, the first time I have shopped for a friend.

We headed for Debenhams since they have a great selection of well known designers who have produced very affordable "high street ranges" and they always have a huge choice of party dresses.

Below are the choices I came up with....all under £50 except Dress 4 which was just over budget.

In the end she chose two dresses : Dress 2 & Dress 4 from the Betty Jackson.Black range.

Success!!!

  

Dress 1 : black jersey peplum dress

Dress 2 - black sequin striped chiffon dress

Dress 3 - Rocha.John Rocha, black spotted devour dress 

Dress 4 - Betty Jackson.Black, black lace shift dress 

Dress 5 - black chiffon ruffled evening dress

Dress 1 - £28

Dress 2 - £48

Dress 3 - £44

Dress 4 - £56

Dress 5 - £36

(All dresses are currently in the Debenhams sale and can be found online here)

dalmation dress

I love the simple lines of this cute dress I spotted (hehe) by H & M in Matchbook Magazine yesterday. The fabric is described as a thick jersey, would be perfect paired with a short black jacket or cardigan and a pair of colorful flats. And the price...it is $29!
