MET Gala Ball, Best & Worst!

Welcome baaaaaack!
If any of you weren't lucky enough to catch the red carpet of the MET Gala Ball last night you would've missed out on drooling over some of THE most b-e-a-uuuutiful dresses I have ever laid eyes on! If I ever had a spare £25,000 (yes twenty five bleedin' grand!) I'd buy myself a ticket. 

So I have to start with the power couples, beginning with none other than Kimye! How amazing does Kim look in this absolutely drop dead Roberto Cavalli number which is somewhat similar to Beyonce's Givenchy Haute Couture that she wore to the event three years ago, but they're both unbelieveable regardless! Even though Kanye is seen as a a not-so-nice person in the public eye I'd give a limb for a man to look at me like he does at Kim, it's so beautiful! He arrived in a black suit with tassled detail on the bottom hem looking proper dapper but his little lady stole the show from him in that dress.
VERDICT: BEST.








































Now we can't forget none other than the 'King and Queen of the MET Ball' Mr & Mrs Carter. Holyyyyyy shiiiiizz Beyonce looked UNREAL in bedazzled see-through Givenchy masterpiece! Only Beyonce can arrive 2 hours fashionably late and still make everybody's jaws hit the floor. The simple hairstyle of a high pony and minimal make-up drew everybody's eyes to the dress. If I look that good at 33 I'll be high-fiving myself to the grave!
VERDICT: BEST



Rihanna never fails to shock people with her fashion choices and the ball this year was no exception. Last night she lived up to that reputation of hers as a 'fearless fashionista' in a canary yellow showstopper of a dress with a train that could probably cover a house. The dress took a reported 2 years to make and was designed by Chinese designer Guo Pei.
After scrolling through hundreds of meme's on Twitter and Facebook of her dress being made into things like pasty's I had to attempt to calm myself after my mum said she looks like a 'giant omelette'. 
Verdict: WORST



Another lovely lady who never fails to amaze me is J-Lo. My ultimate girl crush. At 45 years old she is possibly one of the hottest women on the planet and last night she did not disappoint in this Versace gown. The ruby colored dress gave her the chance to show off her naked boot-ay thanks to a big hole on the side. The dress fitted in with the theme of the night thanks to strategically placed embellishments covering all her lady bits looking like she was wearing a fire breathing dragon. In the words of Mika our J-Lo's got 'curves in all the right places' and she's never looked better!
VERDICT: BEST.


Okay, so normally I'm all for expressing your own style and I love anyone who is confident enough to dress however they want but Katy Perry last night was a serious disappointment. Usually she looks nothing less than perfect on red carpet events but I just wasn't feeling the whole graffiti vibe she was going for as well as the long matching gloves and matching spray can purse. This Moschino statement dress failed to impress me unfortunately. 
VERDICT: WORST. 


Being the model of the moment I expected better from Kendall Jenner, I'm not gonna lie now.. I definitely think her emerald Calvin Klein dress was a down-grade to her stunning Topshop gown that she rocked last year. I'm loving the little side-boob action she's got going on and the lace up detail at the side but the dress just didn't do it for me. Although I look her simple makeup and sleek hairstyle.
VERDICT: WORST.


Now for my love Gigi Hadid. She is possibly one of the most naturally stunning girls I think I've ever seen. Last night she stunned everyone in this gorgeous rose-embellished dress designed by Diane von Furstenberg with a naughty little thigh-high slit and strappy pointed-toe heels. Hers simple and elegant look is definitely top of my 'best dressed' list.
VERDICT: BEST.


Now last but not least I have to say.. this is my personal 'worst dressed' of the night. Sorry Anne Hathaway. Is it just me that think she looks like a dodgy sorta fashionable-ish Jedi? Her Ralph Lauren dress made from a metallic fabric was definitely a no-go for me, especially with the conjoint hood that made it even worse (sorry not sorry). 
VERDICT: WORST.


Let me know in the comments who was your best and worst dress last night!

Shake It Like A Polaroid Pictuuurrrreeee..

So recently I discovered 'polagram' and at first I was a bit hesitant to try it because I'm not normally one for having photos covering my bedroom walls apart from when I was 14 and I had the Jonas Brothers plastered on every inch of the walls. But eventually I bit the bullet and used their app to print some of my favorite memories into adorable little Polaroids and myyyy was I amazed! They look so good! 

(They arrived in this bright pink envelope which instantly caught my eye)

I seriously can't complain with how any of them turned out, they stuck to being high quality and none of the photo was cut off by the Polaroid frame.
If you're thinking about sprucing your room or house up with some cute little memories definitely download the Polagram app and get making! These 7 prints cost me only £3.72 :)

Let me know in the comments if you've bought any Polaroids from Polagram!

'Afternoon Tea'


So today I had the pleasure of visiting 'Hotel Chocolat' in Liverpool and it was absolutely adorable! I met my younger cousin Beth after work and went for a bit of shopping and food, I do love me a good girly day! We went to this lovely Italian restaurant and after that all we could think about was how much a good old cuppa would go down a treat! So she took me to Hotel Chocolat. Now, I've never actually had anything from there (until today), I may have basked in the smell while walking past but never the less I've heard nothing but good things about it so safe to say I was pretty damn exciteeeddd! After ordering we sat down at our table and WELL.. trust my cousin to fall off her chair, I don't think I've ever witnessed a more funnier fall in all of my life (definitely a had to be there moment)! 

So after controlling the tears and laughter the woman brought over wooden trays holding a small pot of milk, a pot of tea and a handle-less mug. The tea tasted so fresh and natural & I know this probably makes no sense, but it tasted really British?? Anyway, I'm sat there with my pinky's out, people watching and absolutely loving life. It was such a cute afternoon and I love spending time with my famalam!
I just thought I'd do a little post on how much I enjoyed the afternoon :)
If anybody hasn't ventured into a Hotel Chocolat before, DO IT, you'll love it & also, get a cuppa while you're there. You won't regret it!




Let me know in the comments if you've visited a Hotel Chocolat and what your favourite thing is from there!

REVIEW: MAC Twig


Hello again!
I thought I'd do a little something different today for you lovely lot so I've decided to do a review on a new lipstick that I am completely and hopelessly in love with, sad I know. I recently went into the MAC store in Liverpool, now I'm not normally one for MAC makeup but I've been loving their matte lipsticks recently and one by one my collection just seems to be growing and I can't see myself stopping anytime soon! I went in for a new lip liner after searching the internet for Kylie Jenner's exact lip color, luckily for me.. she decides to change it every week, woop dee doo! I finally settled for Velvet Teddy by MAC a few weeks ago after seeing that it was probably the closest I was going to get. 

So on this trip like I said I went in for a lip liner but again found myself lurking around the lipstick stand and this color just caught my eye! I actually love it. It doesn't make my lips feel dry like a lot of drug store lipsticks and as well, it LASTS!! I've worn this on shift in work for about 8/9 hours and it's lasted me all the way through, I think I only had to apply it twice but that's good enough for me! I've found with MAC lipsticks as well they appear to make my lips look bigger, as if I've had botox for the past 10 years, I'm not complaining though, the bigger the better! 
I just thought I'd share my views on this lippy & if you love it, go buy ittttt! It's so worth it.
Or if you fancy buying it online, here's the link!
