Shinning in Black at the 2015 Grammy awards : My top five best looks.

Hello, Lovelies.

So last night was a really busy one, well at least for the celebs especially with the BAFTAs and of course the Grammys! To be honest, I kind of goofed and by that I mean I managed to stay awake till the end of the BAFTAs and what happened afterwards I really cannot explain as I later found out this morning I slept off on the couch, I was very tired!

Anyways, turns out I didn't lose much as I had a bit of catch up with my sister who blogs here about the Grammys, who wore what and other celeb related gossip. I always enjoy chatting with her, she does know quite a lot and of course, she inspired this post because she knows how much I love black dresses.

There is something sophisticated, Sensuous and sexy about black and its just a colour you can never go wrong with. Black is classy and you really should have at least one staple black dress in your wardrobe, trust me you will thank me later for this little tip.

Ok, So here are my top five best looks..... In black of course

Beyonce comes in at number 5 in this black lace dress only because it seems like I have almost seen her in something similar to this, no I know now its not Deja Vu! She has definitely been in something similar to this on a red carpet and perhaps it's safe to say quite a number of times as well.
However, a queen remains a queen no matter what so Queen Bey I totally love how you pulled this off.

 To be honest, I really cannot fathom what it is I like about this dress but I like it. It's actually very modest when it comes to ''WOWness'' but its kelly so I guess its ok. This might sound a bit odd to read but I tend to think because Kelly is a co-host on the Fashion Police show she will never commit a fashion faux pas. Anyways, this ain't all black everythang, call it polka-dotted or black and white if you want but I like the look and for that single reason Kelly Osbourne comes up 4 on my list.


3. Kat Graham in  Yanina Coture

Ok, I know I am cheating a little bit cos this is not entirely black but some of these dresses are irresistible . I mean look at this dress!!  My situation with this dress is like me walking into a grocery store to pick just one item and next minute I am pushing a trolley to the checkout till. I was looking up celebs in black dresses then I saw this and could not get my eyes off it. Ok, I know some people might think it odd taste to even cast a second glance at this dress but  I kind of love it still, although I would strongly consider less of all the white business running all over the beautiful black sheer.


2.Jessie J in  Ralph and Russo Fall 2014 Couture

I love Jessie J because I think she kind of reflects her type of personality in her choice of clothes. She strikes me as a relaxed but versatile person. Almost every time I see her pictures such as this one, the only thing that comes to my mind is ''this is definitely someone who is comfortable in her skin and what she wears''. Jessie J to me does not try too hard with a fashion statement because she achieves it effortlessly.

1.Ciara in Alexander Vauthier

Ciara takes the crown with this fabulous one-shouldered dress. I just cannot stop staring at this picture. This dress is effortlessly gorgeous and just makes me feel very covetous now, I really wish it was mine! Oh well! I just love this dress and it kind of totally wipes out any tomboyish memories I had of Ciara doing those crazy dance moves I secretly tried in the bathroom (sheer horror). She looks so beautiful, feminine and absolutely sweet. How very endearing.


That is definitely a wrap and I hope you enjoyed reading this piece.

Do let me know what you think, share your favourite looks on the Red Carpet with me.

Peace and Love X

Fashion Edit : My Valentine Wish List

Hello Lovelies!

Its been quite a hectic week and I am so glad its weekend again. You probably know by now how much I love weekends and look forward to it. Not to worry, I promise not to bore you with my weekend plans again so turn that frown up side down :)

Ok, so its february and its definitely my best month ever. You are probably thinking well, yeah it just means its another valentine,no big deal! But hey, its more than just that for me, my birthday is just a few days apart from valentine so its always a perfect opportunity to tell my DH to splurge on a few luxury items. Its almost always like ''ask and you will recieve'' and trust me I have learnt to ask wisely rather than on impulse. yeah,I grow wiser each year.

I always digress don't I? I was going to share my Valentine wish list with you but here I am talking about my birthday, ok that can wait. Lets talk romantic sweet nothings now.

Alright, I know a lot of us would love to share valentine's day with a loved one, you know, that special person or anyone you hold close to heart but sometimes, its just something that never comes around to happening. Its however not an excuse to give your self a bit of pampering. I mean sharing Valentine with anyone at all is not a set in stone rule but I think its definitely an opportunity to show yourself some love. I mean you can never love yourself too much , or that's what I think anyway. You can only love others as much by loving yourself first! Now that's something to set in stone and keep as your personal mantra.

OK,so I have no clue what I have been saying so far but you probably know by now I have simply been trying to build some kind of platform on which to introduce you to my Valentine wishlist. I don't think its working but if you have read up until this point then you probably should just have a look at what I intend to splurge on!

Voila! My Valentine's Wishlist!


1. Coast Damaris Dress

For me this little number ticks all the right boxes for me and I am head over heels in love with this Coast dress. I love that it comes in what I call my most sophisticated colour, black. The well structured waist line, intricate lace details on sheer fabric  and fine pleats makes it just so feminine and gorgeous to look at. Plus it comes in a decent length as well which means I can flaunt my pins as much as I want.I definitely intend going to bed tonight dreaming about myself in this piece!

When it comes to shoes, I am always weak at heart . I just can never say NO! After much thinking and swapping and trying out a few pairs of shoes in my head I finally settled for this pair.For me,the beauty of these shoes lies in its simplicity. Now these are the kind of shoes that sets you in the mood to waltz to some romantic music. I mean, how can you possibly wear a pair of these and stay seated?! Its lovely and I definitely think it would go well with that lovely dress up there.

I would describe my personal style as simple but very chic and sophisticated. I am not someone who loves to draw attention to myself but I like to add a bit of wow factor to my outfits if you know what I mean. I quite like the type of compliments I get at functions when people are like ''Oh! I really love how you look effortless chic''. It kind of gives me a confirmation that I am seen in the exact way I want to be seen, confident,mature and well put together. Speaking of wow factor, this gorgeous clutch bag completes my wish list look.  I could hardly resist having a second glance when I came across it.  Its heavily beaded with a combination of faux pearls and beads. It is sure to Jazz up any outfit.
I love!

4. Tiny Tudor Drop Earrings
Tiny Tudor Drop Earrings:Accessorize
I think this little piece of jewelry helps balance  the look. Its very delicate and bespoke. I think it is just the right size of accessory to compliment the dress and would sit well with the dress and clutch. Its almost like they were made to compliment each other. I really cannot say much of this lovely piece of earring because I am simply wowed by the price and the beauty of it. #musthaves.
Where to buy: Accessorize
                       £7

5. Viva La Juicy Gold Couture

My valentine wish list would never be complete without my signature scent. People close to me know I absolutely love perfumes and fragrances and yes, I have tried an unbelievably lot of them too.
However, Gold Couture has grown on me and I absolutely do not see any other perfume taking its place anytime soon.
Its made it to my valentine wish list because this is something I keep wanting more of and its being a case of replacing bottle after bottle of this lovely fragrance. This is my go to perfume morning,afternoon and night! I L-O-V-E it.
Where to buy: Check with your local perfume stockists as price may vary.


That's me done with my Valentine Wish list.Let me know what you think and  feel free to share yours as well.

Peace and Love X

Its the nation Vs Cancer! United in the fight against the disease on World Cancer Day.

The fight against cancer.

It's world Cancer day and like several others across the nation and of course the world I am also lending my voice to a worthy cause. I am uniting with the rest of the world to show support for every one who has been affected one way or the other by cancer. This cause is strongly championed by Cancer Research UK and the theme this year sends a very strong message to cancer-  #wewillunite!
#wewillunite
United in the fight against Cancer

You probably already know just how much of a devastating disease cancer is and how much effort is being put into life saving research, geared towards finding a cure for this horrendous health condition. This continues to remain an ongoing process. Research will simply NEVER stop until that ground breaking discovery is made and just like me, you need to stay positive,believing that soon,very soon it will happen and of course we all can work towards making it happen by supporting the cause too!

I really don't want to dignify this devastating illness with too many words but honestly,  thinking of all the lives and families that have been affected leaves me with just one strongly worded sentence for cancer :
  "The world is uniting today against all forms of you and together we will beat all shades of you to it!"


Show your support and join the fight against cancer! Please follow link for  further details:  https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/support-us/donate/world-cancer-day#donate
