Rosie Huntington-Whitely x Gucci = Amazing

I find it to be a hit or miss with Rosie Huntington-Whitely, but she definitely pulled this one off on June 23 at the Moscow International Film Festival. It's elegant, yet extremely chic, playful and sexy at the same time. I've been looking for the perfect skirt similar to that one, but I haven't found anything that fits me well enough! This was definitely a hit with Rosie Huntington-Whitely. I loved that colour on her. This Frida Giannini is from the Fall collection for Gucci. I'm in love. ♥

Cinema Against AIDS amFa Gala

Top Favourite Dresses at the Gala last night included Kirsten Dunst's Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 Haute Couture dress, and Bar Rafaeli's Roberto Cavalli gown.

I'm in love with the long sheer dress which shows a bit of leg, and the vintage sort of feel to this dress. Although it's has so much detail, yet has a clean finish. Elegant and simple.


I love this dress, I don't think that I could pull it off, but it looks stunning on Bar Rafaeli. It fits her body like a glove. ♥

the white dresses of Cannes Film Festival

A lot of white is all over the place this season and I'm not complaining. It is such a basic colour, with tons of flair yet simplicity and definitely jumps out not only on the red carpet, but anywhere you go. Keep in mind you have to keep in clean in order to look spectacular. These are a few of my favourite white pieces which showed up at the Cannes Film Festival. These dresses definitely stole the show, yet displayed each stars' individual personality. ♥

The Royal Wedding

First and foremost, congratulations Wills and Kate on your wedding day!! Can you believe that even Karl Lagerfeld approved of Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen gown!? He said it was a "gown of very refined detail, much more refined than the one Diana wore". He continued, " Alexander McQueen's dresses are always elegant. It's very pretty and relatively classic, but that goes with the decor, with a little touch of the 1950s that recalls Marilyn Monroe or Queen Elizabeth II's dress. The lace is pretty, especially the embroidered veil and the tiara is not too high, without too heavy a bun. It's ravishing and the length of the train is perfect".


Well now we know that Mr. Lagerfeld has approved we can all rest easy. Of course I have to mention Victoria and David Beckham were looking quite good themselves. Victoria looked very elegant in her navy dress and her Philip Treacy head piece. Definitely rocked the pregnant look well. ♥

Blake Lively at 100 Gala

First of all, Blake Lively showed off her new red hair at the Time 100 Gala in her Zuhair Murad Couture dress. I don't think it really complemented her, rather making her look like Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Second of all, Patrick McMullan, a photographer stepped on her gown and pulled off the entire train!! Of course Blake Lively ran to the bathroom and pinned it back on. But what a night. ♥

Wear the Fairytale

On Saturday night I went to my friends gorgeous jewelry event, Wear the Fairytale. I've mentioned about her BUN collection before. I love love love her intricate work and she's blowing up more than ever! She has designed a necklace for Lady Gaga and Lady Starlight as well, and is making a name for herself globally.

i ♥ the bloody beetroots

On Friday I went to the Blood Beetroots show. It was pretty good I'd have to say. It was a randomly, planned out night but it worked. Those nights are always the best anyways! When their mix of Warp came on by Steve Aoki, the crowd went wild. It made the entire night! Met up with lots of people I haven't seen in a long time so it was lots of fun. Little reunion, drama free time. Made me miss those hardcore party days. <3

happy halloween!

Hope you little monsters are having a Happy Halloweekend filled with parties and pumpkin carving like mine! Of course I made a Hello Kitty one. Wouldn't have it any other way. <3
