The Golden Globes 2012 style review

I'm feeling a little bit ashamed that I haven't written a post for such a long time, but gladly we've had a busy Christmas sales period & I was knee deep in jewels most days, so I have an excuse!


What better way to kick start my 2012 blogging with a round-up of the red carpet style at the Golden Globes. Anyway it's always nice to start the year off with a bit of sparkle to counteract those January blues. Here are my favourite looks...

Emma Stone in Lanvin 

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci

Georgina Chapman in Marchesa

Eve Mavrakis looking glorious in true French style!

Julianne Moore in Chanel- Love the green tassel earrings against her hair colour.

Kelly Macdonald in Lorena Sarbu

Meryl Streep

Michelle Williams in Jason Wu

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann

Best Dressed at Cannes

I love taking a peek at the goings on at the Cannes film festival. It somehow seems other-worldly with all of the glamorous people belonging to a club that I'll never have membership for. To be honest I'm not sure I'd even want membership to this exclusive gathering, it all seems a bit too polished, dare I say fake even...


However, I am eternally impressed by the stylishness of the French. It has been reaffirmed to me that they do natural style best. The only Brit that comes close to attaining this easy sophistication as far as I'm concerned is Alexa Chung, followed by Tilda Swinton.


Yes, Cheryl Cole looked lovely in her Stephane Rolland white dressed, but it was all very polished Hollywood, somewhat formulaic. All I can say about her other sparkling champagne coloured fishtail number is that she should have done something about her her VPL before she went out!


So here are my favourite looks, natural & full of personality...
