The Good, The Bad & The Stylish: Cosmo Women of the year awards
Okay so I'm going to make this a regular post, maybe weekly, maybe just as the award shows come & go - were'll see. But i couldnt miss out on the Cosmolpolitan Women of the year awards - all those gorgeous frocks in one place - perfect!
The Good
Fearne can often do no wrong, and she certainly didnt here - displaying how Gothic-Chic can still be sexy & sophisticated. Velvet seems to be a reoccuring winter trend so dig out last years dress's...although not many girls could pull off floor-length red velvet on the red carpet!
The Bad
Cheap. Mis-matched. Not glamourus in the slightest - Please return it to your local market stall.
The Stylish
Karen Gillan was a winner alright - not only did she scoop winner Ultimate UK TV Actress award but won my style award with her fashion-forward outfit in camel shorts and shirt with a fringed jacket! Quirky, stylish - I love it!

The Good, The Bad & The Stylish: MOBOS
So, This week the annual MOBO's (Music of Black origin) took place in Liverpool - and what a show it was, with many fantastic breakthrough artists leading the way, Yes you Mr Tempah!
But as like any awards show the real question was the usual WWW - Who Wore What?
I've decided to try out a new style post with my round up of the evening fashion - hope you like it!

The Good:
Who'd have thought Destiny Child's Michelle would stole so much limelight this year? After years of being in the shadows of the fabulous Beyonce & Kelly Rowland, Michelle won her own fans through this years Strictly come dancing - and here she is in a fabulous sequin gown which shows her amazingly toned body perfectly!
The Bad:
Oh! She may have performed & part-hosted the event but seriously, what is this? Nasty Pattern, cheap material - and why has she stolen Madonna conical bra to use as shoulder pads? To top it all off - is that a train I see? All wrong!
The Stylish:
Step forward Tinee Tempah! Yes the Man of the hour showcases an effortlessly cool ensemble with a on-trend blazer & glasses. Chic, Smart & Stylish...Another award to add to his collection!

A Sneaky Peak...
So, On a rainy journey to Liverpool recently I made a stop at a motorway service station - and picked up a copy of Elle Collection A/W which brightened up the rest of my journey as i flicked through the new collections & campaigns (which i will blog about in detail at a later date!)
But what caught my eye was a little section at the back with lists of what contributors to the magazine had in their handbags - such a simple idea, but fabulous because if your anything like me you'll love a good nosy at people private lives!

Whilst their lists consisted of Chanel Lipsticks, mine handbag contains a little less glamour but does carry around my life! So, here you go a quick nosy into my handbag...
Here's my beloved tan Birkin-alike handbag,
And the contents (minus a few old receipts and empty chocolate wrappers!)
My Polka-dot diary which i couldn't run my life without, Vera Wang perfume, Keys & Gym key, Body Shop Hemp hand cream, Blackberry, Aviators - absolute summer staple, Magazine, nail varnish, Factor 30 sun lotion due to my fair-skin & freckled cheeks, hand gel & chewing gum!

Flake or Fake?
Recently the Cadburys chocolate bar, Flake, has re-invernted it adverts into a beautiful peice of art - with Russian model Yulia Lobova and a dress by Anthony Price made with 200 meters of material twirling around creating a rippling effect mirroring the inside of the delicious crumbly chocolate...Oops is my mouth watering?
A fantastic, unusual advert some may say? Ah but critics have suggested it is a rip-off of Ol' Mossy's (Kate Moss) video for an Alexander McQueen feature. Take a look at the clips below & decide for yourself!
Yes the Great McQueen has probably been ripped off a little, & copying may be the best form of flattery but as gorgeous as the new advert is I can hardly see this making Kate 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' Moss running to get a flake! Oh well, Sod her - More for me! :)
