Leighton Meester - Style Steal

Leighton Meester was photographed on the Gossip Girl set yesterday in New York wearing this eye catching outfit.
It's a great look for those transitional cooler days/nights from summer to winter. The main piece in this outfit are the high-waisted, wide leg trousers. Their made of a light material and are perfect for keeping your legs covered when its not quite hot enough for mini skirts and shorts, but are also breezy as we're not quite in fur coat wearing season just yet. New Look have these fantastic replica's all for £24.99. Make like Leighton and team with a bright top and shoes.
Or if your feeling a bit more daring, why not try these patterned wide leg trousers, again from New Look.These would look great with a plain top and wedges.

Don't forget you can email me any celebrity pictures that you would like me to help steal the style from, to x_pirateslife4me_x@hotmail.com. Thanks for reading, comments are more than welcome =]

Happy Birthday Ednora!

So last night we celebrated my housemate Ednora's 21st birthday in Central London. Heres what I wore
 My dress is from Primark. People can't really seem to believe its from Primark as its so pretty, but it is Special Edition. I really love the colour. My wide eye expression is due to the fact this photo was taken at around 4am and I din't want any drowsey-ness. This dress reminds me of the blue Versus dress as worn by Leighton Meester what with the bright blue colour and straps across the waist.
My shoes are by Matthew Williamson from his Butterfly Collection for Debenhams. I spotted them in a magazine and knew I just had to have them and lucky for me there was 20% off on the day I bought them!

Serena vs Blair

I have been catching up on recent episodes of Gossip Girl and like every other episode I've ever watched, I've fallen in love with the outfits. But its got me wondering - who do you all prefer? Serena or Blair? I myself am more of a Blair girl.
Serena
Serena definitely loves to flaunt what shes got with extra short shorts/hemlines and very low v-necks. She also has a lot of fun with bold patterns and quirky accessories.

Blair
  Blair tends to keep her colours simple and her hemlines are usually longer than Serena's. She has such a classic ladylike look. I would definitely pick Blair's wardrobe over Serena's - but who would you pick?

2011 Golden Globes!

So its that time of the year again - The Golden Globes. The fashion this year is not too different from last years. Lots of neutral tones, chiffon and sparkle. Here's my pick of the 10 ten dresses and a special best male award at the end. These are all based on my personal opinion and are in no particular order. Please do feel free to share your favourites with me. Thanks for reading =]

1) Jayma Mays

This whole look is very 1920s inspired which I love. Everything from the dress, the Hollywood hair even the red lipstick. The beading detail is beautiful.

2) Sarah Hyland

Sarah looks so adorable in this dress. Theres a great balance between the elaborately decorated top and plain floaty skirt. Also, she hasn't ruined her look with too much jewellery, just the one necklace.

3)Amber Riley

Miss Riley is doing a fantastic job of showing how the more curvaceous women can look just as good as all the skinny Minnie's on the red carpet. The black belt around her waist helps to seperate her big boobs from her big waist. It can be hard to pull of a silver dress without looking like a chicken ready for the oven or a robot from the future but Amber oozes confidence in this outfit and so it really works.

4)Olivia Wilde

One of my favourite dresses from the night, it reminds me of a starry night sky. Olivia hasn't needed to wear any other jewellery, apart from a single ring, or have an elaborate hairstyle. Her dress alone, is enough to steal the lime light on the carpet.

5)Scarlett Johansson

Another slightly 1920s inspired dress but in a lighter colour than Jayma's. I especially love the hardly-there sleeves with little embellishments. The v-neck is also very flattering.

6)Leighton Meester

I practically love everything Leighton wears, whether its on Gossip Girl or to award ceremonies/celeb parties. The colours on this dress really mix well with her luscious brunette locks. Wearing a long dress with long sleeves can sometimes make you look like a nun but that slit on the skirt flashes just a bit of flesh.

7)Angelina Jolie

This one is going to cause me real pain, as anyone who knows me will know of my distaste for Angelina (I won't go into it as I'm not here to bitch) but I really love this dress. I think its the colour that most draws me in. The way its slightly tucked at the waste can give the illusion of curves.

8)Sandra Bullock

Its yet another neural coloured chiffon dress with embellishment, but I love this one just like the others. I love the pinned one shoulder, giving it a Greek feel and Sandy has balanced it well with a silver cuff bracelet on the opposite wrist. I am also loving Sandra's new blunt fringe; makes me miss mine but I will just get told off if I get mine cut back again - my friends don't like it on me for some reason.

9)Catherine Zeta Jones

My favourite dress from the whole night. Catherine pulls off the elegance of this dress with such beauty. I love the delicate pattern on the dress and the evergreen colour really stands out on the red carpet. Its just absolutely gorgeous, there are no other words.

10)Jennifer Lopez

The dress itself is quite plain and nothing too special but with the glittering cape, it really does jazz it up a bit. This look is so simple but effortlessly timeless. The white really glows against Jen's tanned skin tone.

Best Dress Male of the Evening: Justin Bieber

Although he didn't really look too happy to be there from the photo's I've seen, at least he has made a bit more effort than all the other male stars. He hasn't just gone for the shirt, tie and jacket, he's added a waistcoat and his suit seems to be a bit shinier than the other suits from the night. The fact that hes wearing trainers just makes it that bit more edgy and shows that hes not all grown up just yet.
