Hi guys!
Keira Knightley was recently seen at the London premiere of her new movie, "A Dangerous Method", wearing this Roksanda Ilincic dress from Resort 2012 Collection. The actress accessorised the dress with a Chanel ring as well as a pair of black satin ankle-strap peep toe heels by Salvatore Ferragamo.
I think that this is such a stunning dress! I love the criss-cross draped bodice -
it's the perfect balance between sexy and elegant! I also love how it cinches in at the smallest part of her waist, and then goes out in a 'pencil skirt' shape - she sure knows how to dress for her own body type. She's very on trend with the colours of the dress as well! It's like a subtle way of sporting the colour blocking trend. There's a few things that set back the gorgeous dress for me though! Firstly, the dress is a bit long for my liking. It makes her look shorter than she actually is - which is not a good look! To make it even worse, she added those ankle strap heels. Don't get me wrong, I love ankle strap heels - but in this particular outfit, they just make her look even shorter! Her makeup is gorgeous though.
Apart from these few things, I really like this outfit! It's a hit for me! What do you guys think? Is this outfit a hit or a miss?

Hey everyone!
Sienna Miller was recently seen at the All Saints party in England, wearing this dress from the Matthew Williamson Spring/Summer 2012 collection. The actress accessorised the dress with a metallic box clutch and a pair of pumps from Charlotte Olympia.
I honestly don't know what she was thinking when she put on this dress. I like the coral colour of the dress, but I'm not so sure
about the style that it has. Instead of looking fun and creative like it's supposed to be, it just looks tacky and like an art&craft project gone wrong! The feathers and sequins all over the place is just way too much for my liking. I don't know about the accessories either. They're pretty cute, but not with this dress! They just look 'bleh' in my opinion. And the hair just doesn't work for her! Some people can pull it off, but on Sienna, it just looks like bed hair!
This outfit is obviously a miss for me - I'm not a fan! What do you guys think? Is this outfit a hit or a miss?

Hi guys!
Love shopping and can’t stop spending? If anything, you should spend it wisely! In this post, I am going to tell you two simple ways to save money.
Are you the type of person to just buy something just because you're bored or you are in need of some retail therapy, instead of being because you genuinely like it? Satisfy the urge with small, cheap things like coloured tights, a
necklace, or a hat! These small things can really switch up your wardrobe without having to spend too much money. Another way to save money is to spend more on versatile basics that never go out of style, like a blazer or a pair of jeans. Both of these pieces can be dressed up or down, and can be adjusted to suit whatever 'style phase' that you're going through.

Hey everyone!
There are so many different ways to spice up your typical manicure (other than the galaxy nail trend), without making your nails look too over the top. One of my favourite ways to do this, is by making one standout nail. This trend is really popular at the moment, and I'm not surprised why - it looks great!
What makes this trend even better, is that it's so easy to do, but it
still looks really good! It can be as simple as painting one nail a different colour, doing one nail in a different print (like in the picture above), or if you're a little more creative - drawing a picture on one nail! The options are pretty much endless. I love the particular nail design shown in the picture - I would do it to my own nails! The floral design that it has is so subtle, but so pretty at the same time.
I am a huge fan of the standout nail trend, I love it! What do you guys think? Will you be sporting this trend any time soon?

Julianne Hough was recently seen at the Cinema Society screening of Footloose held in New York City recently, wearing this Rachel Zoe Collection tuxedo dress. The actress accessorised the dress with a black clutch as well as some black pumps by Casadei.
Seems like Julianne forgot that this was a movie screening, not a New York strip club! The bold shoulders, low neckline, and flared hem gives
her a really strange shape - and I don't mean that in a good way! The accessories could have been better as well! The plain black clutch and black heels are nice, but paired with this plain black tuxedo dress, it just looks boring. Though the outfit is less than satisfactory, I think that the makeup is quite pretty!
This outfit is a miss for me - it's not exactly my cup of tea. What do you guys think? Is it a hit or a miss?(;

Hi guys!
Not only has the galaxy print clothing trend been getting popular lately, but so have galaxy nails! And no, I don't mean nails covered in nail stickers in the shape of planets, but subtle designs like the one in the picture. This nail design just screams cool and futuristic - I love it.
All of the different colours against the black just looks gorgeous. The coat of glitter really
just adds the colour spectrum, making it look even better. I would totally do this nail design on myself - if I knew how to! It looks like such a difficult nail design, if only I had the patience! The person who did these particular nails sure did a great job though.
Overall, I just love this nail design. What do you guys think of the Galaxy nail trend? Will you be sporting it any time soon?

Hey everyone!
Amber Heard was recently seen at the 2011 Spike TV Scream Awards, wearing this dress by Dolce & Gabbana. The actress kept the accessories simple by just accessorising the dress with a pair of nude pumps from Christian Louboutin and a ring.
I think that Amber looks amazing in this Dolce & Gabbana dress! It screams gorgeous. From the sweetheart neckline, to the ruched detailing
on the bodice, to the scalloped hem - the little girly details in the dress really just make the outfit for me. The dress also incorporates one of my favourite materials - lace. I love the fuchsia colour of the dress as well - it looks stunning on Amber! The accessories were spot on as well, they go with the dress perfectly. I love how the nude pumps just make the colour of the dress pop. She made a fantastic choice with the her hair and makeup as well - I love them!
This outfit is a hit for me - she looks stunning! What do you guys think? Is this outfit a hit or a miss?

Hi luuuxers!
Emmanuelle Chriqui attended the 25th Annual American Cinematheque Awards, wearing this little black dress from Tart. The actress accessorised the dress with a pair of diamond earrings, a bracelet, as well as pair of classic black pumps.
I am a big fan of this outfit! I love little black dresses, and this particular one isn't an exception. The embellishment detailing on the
shoulder gives a nice modern twist to your classic little black dress. Something I also love about the little black dress, is the one shouldered design that it has! It really just gives the dress a nice elegant feel. She made a great choice with the accessories as well. Pairing the classic black pumps with the dress really just made the shoulder detailling pop! I like her makeup and hair too - gorgeous much?
This outfit is definitely a hit for me - I love dresses with shoulder detailing! What do you guys think? Is this outfit a hit or a miss?

Hey everyone!
Eva Longoria never fails to please with her outfits on the red carpet, and this particular outfit isn't an exception. She recently hosted the Padres Contra El Cancer Annual Gala, wearing this gold sequined dress by Alive + Olivia. The actress paired the dress with a pair of nude pumps, and kept it simple with a pair of silver earrings.
Doesn't Eva look gorgeous in this dress?
It was the perfect choice for her - the dress flatters her body so well! With the sexy all-over sequins and the tight fit of the dress, I love how she balanced it out with the long sleeves, the high neckline and the length being just above the knees. This balance made sure that the dress was classy, instead of trashy. I also love the colour of the dress! Not only is the gold such a glamorous and appropriate colour for the red carpet, but the colour looks stunning against her skintone! And you just can't go wrong with the nude pumps - they were such a great choice for the dress. They complement the dress, without overpowering the bold sequins. I love her makeup as well - absolutely stunning!
This outfit is definitely a hit for me, I love Eva's red carpet style! What do you guys think? Is this outfit a hit or a miss?

Hi guys!
It seems like every celebrity is making a fragrance these days, one of them being Taylor Swift. When I first heard that Taylor Swift was debuting her first perfume, I was quite excited. I expected the perfume to smell very girly and whimsical - and this perfume is exactly that! I'm a huge fan of floral scented perfumes, so I'm a huge fan of this particular perfume as well.
The scent
is described as "The flawless beauty of freesia, apple blossom and raspberry spark a swirl of vibrancy and feminine allure. In the heart, a sweet surprise of blissful vanilla is embellished by airy, sun drenched honeysuckle and white hibiscus. Notes of golden amber and sandalwood are woven with a kiss of lush peach." In short, it's just the perfect blend of warm vanilla, fresh rasberries, and freesia! It's definitely a good scent for the spring time. In fact, it would be a good perfume for any other month as well! Something I like about the perfume, is that it isn't too strong, but it isn't too subtle. Sometimes floral scents can be overpowering, but this one isn't! Not only do I like the scent, but I think that the packaging of the perfume bottle is super cute as well! The combination of the purple and gold is just gorgeous, and the gold charms across the top of the bottle just give it a really nice touch.
RATING OUT OF 5: ★★★★½ (4.5/5)
WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS PERFUME TO A FRIEND? Yes, I would! If you're a fan of girly/floral/fruity/vanilla scented perfumes, Wonderstruck is definitely worth checking out.
