My Favourite Red Carpet Looks ~ Oscars 2016.

The third awards night post in a row but this is the one everyone has been waiting for. Everyone loves the Oscar's red carpet, it's just so fancy. Here are a few of my favourite outfits of the night. Enjoy!

Saoirse Ronan.

Starting first with Saoirse Ronan. She represented Ireland well, looking stunning on the red carpet. I really like this dress, super classy and flattering. Little sparkle for the Oscars never hurt no one. Her hair was really pretty too.

Alicia Vikander.

I was obsessed with Alicia's Golden Globe outfit but I'm equally obsessed with this. This outfit is so fresh and beautiful. The light yellow dress really compliments her skin-tone and hair colour. I like her natural looking makeup, very "Spring" appropriate.  The entire look was a winner for me!

Jennifer Laurence.

I think Jennifer Laurence looked gorgeous at the Oscars this year. The dress isn't my absolute favourite of the night but I think the outfit, with the makeup, hair and accessories worked really well together. Her makeup and hair was flawless. 

Olivia Munn.
This dress could be seen as a little boring to a lot of people. I think the simplicity of this dress is what makes it appealing though. The bright orange colour isn't done too often but it actually looks really nice. This dress fits her so well, it's so pretty and elegant.

Priyanka Chropro.
To be honest, I hadn't heard of Priyanka Chropro before but I love her dress. This outfit screams glamour which I think is perfect for a fancy event like the Oscars. The detailing is so beautiful. This would actually make such a nice wedding dress.

Rachel McAdams.

(Shout-out to my sister, Jen who has been raving about this dress all day, haha.)

A lot of the celebrities seemed to keep their makeup fairly natural this year, including Rachel McAdams. It's nice to see fresh natural looking makeup for a change. 

This dress made a statement without being too dramatic. It's quite a simple dress but has a sophisticated feel to it. It is very trendy too - this style neckline has been everywhere for the past few months. Rachel looked so classy and confident in this outfit.

Olivia Wilde.

Last but not least, is Olivia Wilde's outift. This was another winner for me. This dress is incredible. It's very flattering and stylish. I'm a sucker for a pleated style dress, I think it adds such a feminine touch. 

She kept her makeup fairly natural too with her hair swept back to allow the dress be the main attention. Got to give that fab choker a mention too. This look was stunning!

 And that's it for "Awards Night" posts, for a while anyway. Let me know which outfits were your favourite.

Grammys 2016 Red Carpet Fashion ~ Hits and Misses.

Hey Everyone. 

It's time for another "Red Carpet Fashion" discussion, this time it's all about the Grammys 2016. I just love doing these posts! Remember that I'm only commenting on the outfits, not the celebrities. These are my own personal opinions, you don't have to agree. Let me know which outfits were your favourite and least favourite. Let's get into it!

Hits Of The Night.
Kaley Cuoco

I love this flowy playsuit. The sequent design is so pretty and adds a bit of sparkle and glam. I like the backless part and the triangle cut-out in the front, it adds a bit of drama. This was really flattering on Kaley Cuoco.

Taylor Swift.

I'm a little biased because I'm such a fan of Taylor but I actually really do like this two piece.  I
especially love the 2 vibrant colours together and the shiny fabric. I don't like the shoes though.

The skirt is a similar effect to the dress she wore at last year's Grammys but it works for her, showing off her long legs. I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge fan of the hair, I think it makes her look a lot older, and less edgy.

Nicole Trunfio.

Nicole Trunfio's outfit was actually my favourite of the night. I think this jumpsuit is so cool and striking. The cape effect sleeves is very fashion forward. The dark grey sparkle material adds a dramatic and different feel. It's very sexy without having to show too much skin. Perfect for the Grammys.

Kacey Musgraves.

This dress is so pretty and very unique. I'm not sure what this dress is made of but it looks almost fluffy. The colours blend well together. It's really pretty and makes a subtle statement.

Carrie Underwood.

Carrie Underwood looked the queen of class on the red carpet. Black is a safe option but nearly always works. The "Angelina Jolie" style leg slit adds a sexy, confident appearance. Carrie looks classy and gorgeous in this dress.

Diana Gloster,

This next dress is going to be a "marmite" outfit. Some will love it, some will hate it. I personally think it's clever and individual. 

It could look a bit boring from far away but when you notice the music notes on the bottom half, you'll appreciate it more. I thinks it's a smart and witty creation and it makes sense for the event, I guess.

Selena Gomez.

Selena was sparkling at this year's Grammys. She showed off a lot of skin but without looking too sexy, she kept it sophisticated and overall stunning. Obsessed with this colour too!

Ellie Goulding,

Lastly, for the hits of the Grammys, is Ellie Goulding. I think she looks so feminine and angelic in this dress, The pale pink is really pretty on her. This is different to Ellie's more rocker style.

Misses Of The Night.
Andra Day.

This outfit reminds me of a modern day Cruella Deville. Maybe I'd like it more if she had all the cute dalmatian puppies. The best thing about this outfit is her big smile. She looks so happy which is nice to see instead of the usual red carpet "pout face."

Zendaya.

It pains me to say this because I usually love Zendaya's red carpet fashion but this was not one of those times. I like the idea of the suit and all but this does not work for me. It looks way too big for her and a little masculine. This just wasn't good.

Florence Welch.

Like her music, hate this dress. It looks like a nightdress. The stars look a bit childish too. I just don't understand this look.

Dencia.

All I can say is...WHAT?

That's all for the Grammys 2016 red carpet fashion. Let me know which outfit was your favourite.

Golden Globes 2016 ~ My Favourite Outfits.

It's award season again and I'm so excited to see all the outfits! There weren't a lot of outfits that stood out this year at the Golden Globes, to say the truth. But I still managed to see a few that I really like. Let me know which ones were your favourite.

Alicia Vikander.
To be honest I had never heard of Alicia before until seeing her dress on the red carpet. There's something about this dress that I just find so eye catching. It's so graceful and pretty. I just immediately fell in love with the pleated shiny material. The shape it gives is gorgeous and really flattering on her petite figure, I really like this outfit.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum.

Ever since the "Step Up" days, I've been a fan of Jenna. This dress was definitely one of my favourites. I love the colour, along with the sparkle detailing. It's really appropriate for the Golden Globes, being very elegant but also keeping the sexy feel with the deep 'v' front. She looked so glamorous.

Zendaya.

Can this girl ever go wrong on the red carpet? Like seriously. I really liked this style dress. It's like a layered cake or something. She looked fashionable and classy. This deep red shade really suits Zendaya's tanned skin-tone too. This is a really pretty look.

Gina Rodriguez.

This is the outfit that has got everyone talking, saying it;s the best of the night. It;s not my favourite but it's definitely a stunning look. This dress is like it was taken straight out of a Disney movie. I really like the royal blue colour. This dress screams sophistication and glamour. Gina looks like she's loving every minute of wearing it too.

Kylie Jenner.

Although Kylie was only going to the Golden Globe after parties, I thought I'd include her look anyway because I loved this outfit! She looks like a golden goddess. This dress is so flattering on her and looked so delicate and detailed. It's really pretty. Kylie looked gorgeous.

Highlights Of 2015.

2015 has definitely been the best year of my life, so far. I got to do amazing things this year and go amazing places. I am very grateful for everyone and everything in my life. I'm very excited to see what 2016 will bring.

There have been SO many highlights in 2015 but a few stand out a little more. I'm going to share them with you. I have done separate blog posts for most of these highlights that I'll link below. Enjoy!

Holidays To Puerto Rico.

This holiday was the first holiday I'd been on where it was just my Mum, my sister, Jen and I (basically everyone in my family besides my brother Daniel and my Dad.) We had so much fun and it was so relaxing. It was a typical "girly holiday."

Ed Sheeran And Kodaline Concert. 

I went a bit "Concert Crazy" this year, including the concerts of Ellie Goulding, Kodaline, 5 Seconds Of Summer and Ed Sheeran.  Although they were all so good, I think my 2 favourites were Ed Sheeran and Kodaline. 

Ed Sheeran was AMAZING! We went to see him in Croke Park Stadium. He was just incredible, as usual. I had seen him before in the 3Arena but there's something about Croke Park that made it ten times better.

Kodaline's concert was really great too. I wasn't much of a fan before the concert but I absolutely loved them after. I think I enjoyed that concert so much because all my friends were there. It was like a big party.

Kenmare Camping Trip.

As part of school, we got to go camping for 2 nights in Kenmare, The days were full of activities like paint-balling (which I hated) and water sports. At night we stayed in tents which was actually the most fun.

This trip was something I had such anxiety about before, I didn't plan on going but leading up to it, I decided to go. I'm SO happy I went. It was one of the highlights of my year. There are so many funny stories from this trip that my friends and I talk about all the time.

Going To London.

London is one of my highlights because I had never been there before and fell in love with the place. I can't wait to go back there, hopefully sometime soon. I went with my older brother Daniel. It was SO much fun and we got to visit so many places. 

Seeing Les Miserables in the West End was the best part of the trip though. It was incredible. The movie will now never live up to the live performance. I loved every minute of it.

So that's a few of my highlights from 2015. I hope 2016 is even better! I blogged a lot this year and really enjoyed it. I will continue blogging throughout 2016 also. Thanks you so much for reading.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Monthly Beauty Favourites ~ December 2015

Hey everyone. I can't believe I haven't done a "monthly faves" post since July. I have tried out a few new products that I want to share with you because I think they're great. Enjoy!

1. Maybeline "The Rocket" Mascara.

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, mascaras are my obsession. I love to try out new mascaras all the time. Although this isn't a new mascara by any means, it's a new one for me. 

It makes my lashes crazy long. I haven't tried a mascara that separates my lashes as quickly and as easily as this one does. I only like fanned out separated lashes so if you also like that type of look, I think you would love this product.. Clumpy lashes are one of my pet peeves, seriously.

2. Nyx "Wonder Stick"

This is probably my new favourite product in my makeup collection. It's a highlighter and contour stick. They are cream products obviously which I think I prefer to powders. They're easier to blend and last longer. 

The cream contour is very natural and so easy to use because you can just draw your contour exactly where you want, in the hollow of your cheeks, down your nose etc. The highlighter is very pretty with a nice shimmer to it.  Love, love, love!

3. Real Techniques "Sculpting Brush"
I've been using this brush for contouring and I really like it. It fits perfectly in the hollows of my cheeks and blends cream and powder products really well. It's angled too which helps to create a natural sculpted face.

4. Catrice Lip-pencil "100 Upper Brown Side"

I have recently been really getting into lipliners. For a cheap price, the Catrice ones are really good. They apply nicely and have a good staying power. I'm definitely going to buy more. This pencil is a brownie- pink shade which adds a little bit of dimension to a nude lip. 

5. Hask "Hair Argon Oil" 

This product has made a big difference to the appearance and texture of my hair. I apply this just to ends of my washed hair before I dry it. It makes my hair less frizzy and so soft. I had never even heard of this brand until I saw the small little bottles of it in Penneys and said I'd give it a go. I'm happy I tried it now.

6. Timberland Boots.

Ok, I'm not going to lie, these aren't real. Basically I bought these fake timberland boots in Penneys because I didn't want to splurge on the real pairs before trying them first. I wasn't sure if I'd even like them on or if I would get any use out of them so I decided to try the much cheaper pair first 

I have been living in these boots all Winter. I absolutely love them. I think they add a little edge to a fairly plain outfit. (The camera washed out the colour of them slightly, they are actually the original tanned colour in person.) My new favourite boots.

Another post coming tomorrow. Please follow to be notified when I next post. Thank you so much for reading.

Demi Lovato - Strong and Confident.

Hey Guys. So I'm sure I'm not the only one who is a fan of Demi Lovato. I love her music but I especially love what she represents. Demi is always spreading the message about being confident in your own skin. She promotes a healthy image, getting fit and learning to rock the body shape she has.

She empowers women to be strong and confident which makes her very inspiring. She believes that people should be comfortable with their own image and be their own person. I think this message is very important because nowadays it's so difficult not to compare yourself to others.

Demi shares no make-up selfies all the time on her instagram (ddlovato). There aren't many celebrities that do this very often. It just shows that Demi is comfortable enough to be honest and show her real self, even in the eyes of the public. 

I'm sure Demi has insecurities too as she isn't perfect. No one is. But it's the fact that she's not afraid to embrace her flaws is what makes her one of my favourite celebs.

Demi is just such a stunning person, inside and out. She's a complete boss which I love. Her new song "Confident" explains exactly what she's all about.

Hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading!

Fashion Forward Style ~ Zendaya.

Hey Everyone! Today I wanted to chat about the gorgeous Zendaya Coleman's fashion forward style. I admire people like Zendaya who aren't afraid to take risks with fashion. 

She always finds a way to stand out from the crowd because of her brave and bold fashion choices. Sometimes the risks pay off and other times it looks a little too crazy but she works it with confidence. I always have my eyes pealed to see what Zendaya wears to any big events. 

Her style is so fashion forward that sometimes people don''t always like it but give it a few weeks and everyone will be trying to rock something similar. She's ahead of the game when it comes to fashion which gives her this "fashionista" title. 

Her everyday style as-well as her carpet style is so "hip" and different. She'll have a fairly plain outfit but then add some coloured shoes or do her hair in a crazy way.

Zendaya loves to try out different themes too like she'll be very elegant and classy or she'll bwear something a little edgy.

I love that she works 2 completely different patterns or colours into one outfit and makes it look so cool. i'm just so obsessed with her style!

Thanks for reading! Please follow if you want to read more posts in the future. Hope you enjoyed this post.
