Met Gala 2016

On May 2nd, the annual Met Gala took place in the city which is the home of fashion, New York City.

The Met Gala, previously known as the Costume Institute Gala , is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. But it is really known as the biggest fashion event of the year. The event has been held at the Met since 1971 and is considered to be the ‘fashion industry’s premier annual red carpet event’ with all the big name celebrities attending the event yearly to kick off the fashion season with a bang!

Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour is the chair of the event and has been for over 19 years. Each year the event has a theme, and 2016 was no different. This year’s theme was ‘Manus x machina: fashion in an age of technology‘. The guest list was kept to a ‘minimum’ of 650-700 a-list celebs and tickets were a pricey $25,000 to increase exclusivity. The creators of the Met Gala are getting stricter with their rules, as this year, no phones were allowed inside the event. Sorry Kim, looks like no more selfies at the ball!

Again, Anna Wintour don’t worry about not getting around to invite me this year, I wouldn’t of been able to make it due to finishing assignments. I know you have me on the list next year and I am already in talks with Moschino about my design.

Let’s get down to business and talk fashion!

Best dressed ladies:

Claire Danes – Claire stole the show when she turned up in a beautiful Zac Posen design as a real life Cinderella, with not one but two men on her arm I might add. I gushed as soon as I saw her dress on Twitter and my little heart fluttered when I saw it light up. Her dress is what dreams are made of. Every girl dreams of being a princess.

Blake Lively – She may be pregnant but that didn’t stop Blake looking absolutely flawless last night as she arrived in a blush pink Burberry dress to the Gala.

Kylie Jenner & Kendall Jenner – As soon as I saw the two sisters on the red carpet, I knew exactly who they were wearing. The Kardashian/Jenner’s reliable designer – Balmain! The two looked incredible! Kylie please leave your hair like this, it suits you so much! Kylie later showed that us ladies will go through anything to look good when she showed her snapchat followers the damage her dress and shoes caused.

Jourdan Dunn – One of my newly grey haired sisters wowed at the Met last night as Jourdan also rocked Balmain (I think I need to invest in some Balmain!!)

Beyonce – What would a best dressed list be without the queen that is Beyonce?! Rocking up solo, Bey looked fierce in her Latex Givenchy dress.

Best dressed men:

Nick Jonas – Only one man stood out for me and that was the very hot Nick Jonas. Although it was kind of a safe option, he looked ever so handsome in this gorgeous tuxedo from Topman.

Best dressed couple:

Kim & Kanye – Once again, it didn’t surprise me when I heard they were wearing Balmain. Kim steals the attention this time Kayne, even those blue contacts couldn’t distract me from how good she looks!

Gigi & Zayn – Without a doubt, they are THE couple of the year and were certainly sticking to the theme with their matching outfits. Gigi stunned in Tommy Hilfiger while Zayn looked gorgeous in Versace. Can they do no wrong?

Many people and critics seem to forget that the Met Gala ain’t any normal event. It’s the one night where designers and celebrities get to be creative and explore new tastes with fashion and personally, it is my favourite event in the fashion calendar. Impatiently waiting for next year already.

June Favourites 2015

Writing my favourites for the last month is the hardest it’s been because I love so many things at the moment! But I have struggled through to compile my faves! In June, so much has happened! I finished my Co-Op placement with ilovelimerick (check out the website here and like the Facebook here!), I’ve been to London and seen 5SOS x2 (yes, I saw Michael’s face/hair go on fire!), seen The Script in Croker and was filmed and featured in a video on their Facebook, seen Taylor Swift live, oh so much has happened in June, I’d be here all day!

So here are my June Favourites!

 

Book

I spent a good bit of June travelling which gave me plenty of time to read and I read The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks as I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. Nicholas Sparks is one of my favourite romance writers and I was incredibly excited to read this book. It’s about two couples, one elderly (Ira and Ruth) and one young (Luke and Sophia). Ira, who is 90 years old, is in a car crash, but it is snowing so bad that no one can see the car. He is already sick, and is barely surviving the car crash. It is all because of his late wife Ruth, who appears to him as an image in the car, and is reminding him of their life together, including how they met, the dark days of WW2 and how they began to collect all the paintings the collected. Sophia, who is a Wake Forest college student, falls in love with cowboy Luke at a barn dance one night. Luke is not like anyone else Sophia knows. Together they experience the joys of love as well as the difficulties that come with Luke’s dangerous career. Although both couples in the story have nothing in common, the story line brings them together! The elderly couple’s love story is a beautiful one. I loved this book!

Make Up

Topshop Lip Gloss/ Lipsticks are something I have only bought recently! After hearing several raving reviews about the products, I had to try them out and god why haven’t I bought them before! So at the moment, I am loving these two lip glosses. Because of the Roaccutane tablet I am on, I find it very hard to wear lipstick as my lips are so dry. So these lip glosses are perfect! They keep my lips moist and look good too! The purple is a colour I normally wouldn’t go for but I loved it more than the pink to be honest! I think I paid around £8 pound for the purple one and €3 for the pink one!

Fashion

A girl can never have too many shoes and I couldn’t say no to both these pair of shoes when I saw them in Primark/Pennys! I bought the blue pair to go with the black skirt from River Island that I mention below! I wore it with a white crop top from Topshop! I unfortunately didn’t take a photo but that is okay, it makes it easier to wear again! 😛 They were £13. The Flowery pair were just so gorgeous, I couldn’t leave them behind! They were €18. By the way, sorry about the mess in the background of the photos, I am redecorating my room!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After my love for tulle skirts, this River Island Skirt I got in London is my favourite! It is very Kim Kardashian style and very flattering on! Although the slit is very high up my leg, it is fabulous! It was £25, which was very reasonable for something from River Island! I wonder could I get away with wearing it to Portlaoise to the the grocery shopping? Maybe not…

Stationery

I am a bit of a stationery freak. If it is not new cute notebooks, it’s pens and pencases! I got this cute London pencil case in Monsoon when I was in London and I adore it. I think it was about time I put my One Direction one in the merch box and became a proper lady! This pencil case was €10. Monsoon have a great range of notebooks, pencil case and any other stationery you may need. It may be pricey but it is fabulous!

Movie

My favourite movie this month had to be Jurassic World!!! Oh my god it was so good. I know what your are thinking, why the hell did Sarah Jane go see that movie, that’s not her typical movie! I watched all the previous Jurassic movies with my dad when I was younger and had to see this as everyone was raving about it! Also, Chris Pratt, come on, there was no way I was missing that! He is one beautiful man! If you haven’t seen this movie yet, GO SEE IT NOW!!

Food

I love pancakes, who doesn’t? I usually only ate plain pancakes whenever I had them because I don’t like Nutella or Lemon Juice or any of those other things people typically put on their pancakes! BUT I have been LOVING Blueberry pancakes recently!! I saw a post on either Tumblr or Pinterest about them and was like oh my god I want them now! So I have been eating these a lot in June! A little tip when making them, burst the blueberries when in the pan before the are made, it tastes so much better!

Music

Firstly, I know I went to Sunday Sessions last night (9th July) but I had to tell you to check out these guys! Little Hours performed and they were incredible. I had heard about them a few months ago but it took me seeing them live to appreciate how good they are. They done a cover of Beyonce’s Crazy In Love a month ago on Sunday Sessions and it is INCREDIBLE! Check them out, you won’t regret it. And Ladies, Ryan is unbelievably hot, just a word of warning!

Selena Gomez has really grown up hasn’t she? I’m liking her new sound, and Good For You is a catchy song. Wonder who she wrote the song about? Bieber? Mmm..

 

I think the song of the summer 2015 has definitely been Lean On by Major Lazer. The minute it comes on the radio, I just turn it up and feel good and want to dance!

 

YOUTUBER

Gabby, who is better known as velvetgh0st, is my favourite Youtuber this month! She is a 20 year-old blogger and YouTuber. Her videos are predominantly beauty-based but with a few fashion and lifestyle inspired videos as well. From hauls, favourites, beauty tutorials and sometimes, vlogs. She isn’t on the list of well known Youtubers just yet, but is making her way there! She has been recently appearing in videos alongside Zoella, which is helping her become the Youtube star she deserves to be! Check out one of her videos below.

 

Okay, shameless self promotion time! If you didn’t already know, I started vlogging! I am NOWHERE near as good as my favourites but I’ll get there! So when I was in London, I vlogged majority of the time. If you want, check out the video. If you can Like & Subscribe also, I’d be very happy! Check out some of my other videos on my channel also!

 

That’s it for my June Favourites, I’ll see you in a month for July Faves!

Grammys 2015 – Who won what, Best & Worst Dressed and the performances!

Firstly, I am very sorry this is over a two weeks late! So as I prepare for the big finale of award season, The Oscars tonight (22nd Feb), here’s a recap on my favourite awards, The Grammys!

So here’s the low down of the night! Sam Smith was the big winner on the night, sweeping up 4 awards including Best New Artist, Song of The Year and Record of The Year. The biggest shock of the night was when Beck won album of the year over Beyonce and then Kanye West tried to repeat what happened when Taylor Swift won over Beyonce back in 2009. Although he hopped off the stage quickly, Kanye was extremely vocal in a post Grammys interview, which you watch here. The performances are the most talked about moments of the night! Beyonce closed the show with ‘Take My Hand Precious Lord‘, John Legend and Common sang ‘Glory‘, Sia performed her hit ‘Chandelier‘ but as usual her face was not seen! Kristen Wiig joined Maddie Ziegler on stage, both dancing in nude bodysuits. Ed Sheeran sang ‘Thinking Out Loud‘ with John Mayer (MY HEART CAN’T HANDLE THAT!!!)The most anticipated performance of the night was Rihanna, Kanye and Paul McCartney performing ‘FourFiveSeconds’. It was pretty much the same as the music video but it was still an incredible performance!

Nick Jonas wowed in a Versace suit with yellow plaid details and bright white sneakers.

2014 MTV VMA’s – All you need to know right here!

On Sunday 24th of August, MTV’s annual Video Music Awards took place in The Forum in California. The VMAs always has talking points for days and sometimes weeks after it (who can forget Miley Cyrus’ performance last year?!) and this year is no different. Well, on a much tamer scale.

Performances

Opening this year’s show was a medley, kicked off by Ariana Grande belting out her new song ‘Break Free‘ in a silver leotard, similar to the Glittering Gold one Beyonce wore during her I Am… Sasha Fierce tour in 2009.

Image from http://www.businessinsider.com

Nicki Minaj took the stage next with a jungle themed performance of her new single ‘Anaconda‘ but had no snakes (unlike Britney back in 2001, but it was later said they had to scrap the snake idea due to an incident that happened in rehearsals with one of Nicki’s dancers and the snake!!) Nicki and her dancers did however showed Miley Cyrus how to really twerk!!

Image from hellobeautiful.com

To finish the opening medley, Jessie J joined Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj onstage for the first ever performance of their joint single ‘Bang Bang’. While Jessie J and Ariana were smashing their incredible vocals, poor Nicki had a wardrobe malfunction!! The rapper walked on to stage while holding her black dress closed over her chest. and boy was she holding on for dear life! Nicki later said in a backstage interview what happened, which was that she ran out of time backstage when changing and failed to get the dress zipped up.

http://www.independent.co.uk

Taylor Swift performed her new single ‘Shake It Off‘ while wearing a sparkling silver bralet and shorts. Viewers got excited when she was standing on top of a massive “1989” sign and appeared as if she was about to jump off it and into her crowd of dancers awaiting arms, but she squirmed away and said “I don’t care if it’s the VMAs, I’m not jumping off there,” she said, disappearing while going down stairs saying  “All kinds of people getting bit by snakes, it’s dangerous!”, in reference to Nicki Minaj’s dancer!

Image from thechatterreport.com

Sam Smith made his American awards show debut with a flawless performance of his breakout ballad, ‘Stay With Me‘ simply singing into a microphone in the spotlight and just accompanied by a piano.

Image from http://www.okayplayer.com

Usher launched his new single ‘She Came To Give It To You‘ which features Nicki Minaj. When Nicki joined Usher on stage, he repeatedly touched her bum with his shoulder while playing the electric guitar and then spanked her before she left the stage.

Image from http://www.cnn.com

Next up was my boys, 5 Seconds of Summer! They sang their pop-rock ballad ‘Amnesia‘. They were literally incredible and have received nothing but compliments about their performance. Proud of you guys ❤

Image from AP Images/Invision

Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora showed their fierce sides when they teamed up to perform ‘Black Widow‘. They made sure the viewers knew that spiders were the main theme of the performance with a lit-up spider web behind them and the  dancers dressed in spider inspired outfits. Rita went one step further and had diamond shaped siders on her nails (I’M SHAKING AT EVEN THE THOUGHT – I HATE SPIDERS (but LOVE this song)!

Image from AP Images/Invision

Outside the venue, Maroon 5 performed their new hit single ‘Maps‘ to a large crowd of fans!

Image from http://www.billboard.com

One of the main talking points of the night was Miley Cyrus’ guest, homeless man Jesse Helt. Miley got Jesse to go on stage and accept her award for Video Of The Year on her behalf and spoke about homeless youths and to highlight the issue. Miley looked on while crying. This shows that Miley should get more credit where credit is due. She’s not a bad person at all. She could of went up there and gave a meaningless few thanks to fans and her music label but she selflessly used that time to highlight an issue prominent in the USA.

Image from http://www.billboard.com

 

And last, but certainly not least, was the performance of the night by the one and only QUEEN BEYONCE! While wearing a bejeweled bodysuit, Bey literally performed a snippet of her Mrs. Carter Tour! She sang 12 songs mashed together from her self titled album, Beyonce, which included Drunk In Love, Partition and the remix version of Flawless. After her very sexual performances, hubby Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy stepped up onto the stage with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award to present it to Beyonce. Bring Beyonce to tears, Blue Ivy cheered ‘Go Mommy’ and the Jay presented her the award stating that she is ‘the greatest living entertainer’. Putting a stop to all those spilt and divorce rumours, they put on a united family front for the world to see!

My Best Dressed Females

Number 1 best dressed female is Beyonce! No surprises there! She looked incredible gracing the red carpet in a black lace fishtail dress. Because it’s Queen Bey, her second outfit also gets a mention. After her show stopping performance, she changed into a dark pink/burgundy dress by Lebanese designer, Zuhair Murad.

Image from http://www.dailymail.co.uk

Image from http://www.huffingtonpost.ca

My number 2 best dressed girl goes to my idol, Demi Lovato! WOW. She simply looks perfect. Demi has definitely proven she’s body confident at last in her sexy, floor length red gown. She donned a new shorter hair do with a simple smokey eye and strong, sexy red lipstick.

Image from http://www.musictimes.com

My Number 3 goes to the Kardashian trio. 18 year old Kendall and 16 year old Kylie both wore black. Model Kendall chose a jumpsuit with a sheer mesh top while Kylie decided to wear a silk dress with a very-high-thigh slit. Older sister (yet the smallest sister!) wore no other than her favourite, Balmain, with her cleavage on clear display!

Image from http://www.mirror.co.uk

My Worst Dressed Females

Amber Rose. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! I can’t even begin to explain it. How was she let leave her house? The ‘dress’ is by Rose McGowen, just incase anyone wants to get themselves a replica (doubt it!)

Image from http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com

Katy Perry, girl, you can do so much better, in both men and in fashion. Ditch Riff Raff and ditch the demin. Britney and Justin did this look over 13 years ago, it didn’t work then and it doesn’t work now.

Image from hollywoodlife.com

Taylor Swift, it breaks my heart to put you in the worst dressed section but for a girl who 90% of the time dresses ‘Oh so right‘ at award shows, you got it ‘Oh so wrong‘ this time! This outfit just does nothing for you. That’s it. I can not find anymore words to say about it. Just go back to your long sparkly gowns that everyone adores!

Image from http://www.style.com

My Best Dressed Males

Nick Jonas is my number 1 best dressed male. Just look at him. He is looking FINE! Nick looked incredibly dapper in a navy check print jacket and waist coat by Vivienne Westwood.

Image from fashionbombdaily.com

My number two best dressed male is Sam Smith, who rocked the red carpet in a stunning three piece black suit.

Image from http://www.eonline.com

My number 3 best dressed are 5 Seconds of Summer. The foursome donned their true punk rock style. They looked hot. So hot. Incredibly hot. Have I mentioned they look hot? Because the look SO HOT!! I think you get my idea. Also, Ashton’s blazer costs a whopping $1250. WHAT? This is the band that get their stylists to put holes in their t-shirts to make them look cooler. I hope they took that jacket and put it somewhere safe away from scissors.

Met Gala 2014 – The Fashion!

On May 5th, the annual Met Gala took place in New York City. Now for all of you who have no idea what the Met Gala is (where have you been living?), don’t worry, I’ll explain everything!

The Met Gala, previously known as the Costume Institute Gala , is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. But it is really known as the biggest fashion event of the year. The event has been held at the Met since 1971 and is considered to be the ‘fashion industry’s premier annual red carpet event’ with all the big name celebrities attending the event yearly to kick off the fashion season with a bang! 

Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour is the chair of the event and has been for over 19 years. Each year the event has a theme, and includes a cocktail hour and a formal dinner for all in attendance. But fashion comes at a price! It is rumoured that this year, each guest had to fork out €25,000 to attend.

Now I’ve got all the educational information out of the way, it’s now time to talk fashion!

This year’s theme was : White Tie and Diamonds. Simple, you would think. Many pulled the theme off perfectly. But many also got it very wrong. I’m not going to waste time talking about the fashion disasters that were Katie Holmes and Sandra Lee!!

My Top 9 Best Dressed Women for 2014

1. My best dressed lady of the night goes to the beautiful Blake Lively. She wore a dazzling pale pink Gucci dress.

2. Kim Kardashian was my second best dressed lady. She got it oh so right this year (remember last years dress? Ugh horrible flashbacks!) This year she played it safe and looking simply stunning. She wore a deep blue and black dress by Lanvin.

3. My number three spot goes to the Queen Beyonce. As per usual, she was spot on with her choice of style. She wore a sparkly black gown by Givenchy.

4. Number four goes to Rihanna. Known for her wild take on fashion, Rihanna wowed in a white midriff-baring Stella McCartney show-stopper.

5. My number five is queen of fashion, Victoria Beckham. She looked so beautiful in her own simple but yet so stylish dress. Who else could pull off their own design on the red carpet? Only Posh!

6. Selena Gomez is my number six as she looked so sophisticated and grown up in this lovely plum dress by Diane von Furstenberg.

7. Now I know many will disagree with this one but Rita Ora is at my number seven. Love it or hate it, she got the theme perfectly right! She is never one to shy away when it comes to fashion and nothing changed at the Met Gala. She looked incredible in her gold Donna Karan Atelier design.

8. Number eight is model-who-can-do-no-wrong-in-my-eyes- Cara Delevingne. Although she didn’t look very Met Gala, she still looked gorgeous. She wore head to toe Stella McCartney

9. At number nine is the beautiful Jessica Alba. Her dress was so understated and deserved more attention than it received. She also wore Diane von Furstenberg.

10. And last, but by no means least, Kendall Jenner is my final best dressed of the night. The young model looked so elegant in her Topshop dress.

The most essential accessory on the night for four of my best dressed ladies was their handsome and impeccably dressed man by their side.

With that, 2014’s Met Gala is over. The fashion has come and gone. Anxiously waiting for next year’s Gala already!
