Lights, Camera, Fashion: The 84th Academy Awards (2012 Oscurs) No.2 The Best Dressed

3 very beautiful women, 3 very different women, 3 very different gowns, it's a triple threat so let the outfits speak for themselves, (All photos in this post are courtesy of oscurs.go.com, I did not take these photos).

Cameron Diaz

The beautiful blonde is indeed a goddess in this gown by of course Gucci. What I love about the dress is how it starts off so simple at the top and slants down from the hip to create a feathred mermaid effect. The only thing I would of changed is her hair, but other than that I love the dress and I love her in the dress so I place Cameron 3rd.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is wearing a dress by Zuhair Murad. Just take a look at this nude silk gown with it's transparent crystal beading and guess what? The cut out sleeves was custom made for Jennifer herself, (wow talk about a designer having a muse). This isn't the first time Jennifer and Zuhair have worked together, it just goes to show when music meets fashion the sky is the limit. Jennifer I place you 2nd on my best dressed list.

     Milla Jovovich

Two words: Elie Saab, the 2009 fall couture gown looks devine on Mila, she looks sexy and very sophisticated. The white fully embellished one shoulder gown is what red carpets are all about. She finishes the look by adding red lipstick, Jacob & Co jewelry and a Edie Parker clutch. It just goes to show you don't have to be nominated or a previous winner to win best dressed on Lady T list. Well done Mila your my best dressed for the 84th Academy Awards 2012. See you next year.

Lights, Camera, Fashion: The 84th Academy Awards (2012 Oscurs) No.1 The Risk Takers

Here they are the interesting ladies of the evening, the ones that stick in my head for good reasons and sometimes bad. 3 completely different looks on 3 very different women. Take a look at who I've chosen and why. (All photos in this post are courtesy of oscurs.go.com, I did not take these photos).

Judy Greer

I'm sure you've heard of the expression "fits like a glove" well the photo above couldn't be more perfect for that saying. Why it's a risk? No one really mixes a bold silver metalic panel with silk or cotton and here is an example of taking a risk and doing it right. Judy Greer in Monique Lhuillier looks sultry and her body is to die for. This isn't really a dress you'd expect to see on the red carpet and that's why I love it.

Jessica Chastain

I already know not many people would love this dress but I'm a sucker for art on clothes which only means one designer is known for this, Alexander McQueen. I love the detail and it's structure, black on the red carpet can sometimes be boring and very repetative (but it doesn't have to be). The yellow/gold detail stands out on the dress so beautifully and the dress fits amazing on her body.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford (need I say more). This may be to fashion foward for some people but this dress has fashion risk written all over it, why you ask? What lady would wear a long shoulder jacket on top of a simple white Tom Ford gown? Gwyneth that's who. It's a very strong dress and it meets masculinity with femmenity.

The Academy Awards took place last Sunday on Febuary 28th 2012. All the biggest and newest names in showbusiness were at the Kodak theatre and the red carpet was their playground to show off their style and show the entire world what and who they are wearing. This year no men made it on my list for best dressed men (sorry ladies) but enjoy the beautiful gowns that I chose. Here are my ladies in red, a very popular colour on the carpet this year.

Love Is A Battlefield (Fashion & Music go hand in hand)

Hey guys, 

Hope your all well & enjoyed pancake day as much as I did, did you all stuff your faces? I'm sure you did. This post today is a new & exciting one for you all. I decided to change it up a bit as I've been meaning to do this for a while. Music & fashion couldn't be a more perfect fit, whether we're watching a music video, being fascinated by the costume designs at a concert or being blown away by an album photoshoot, you can't deny music + fashion = perfection. I love how music can make us think, feel, change our emotions, unite people & brings individuals together from around the world. Whether It's sad powerful love ballad or a fun upbeat tempo summer song, music takes us to places we didn't know existed. 

Why I decided to do this vlog is not only is it my first vlog for 2012 but I wanted to make it a memorable one. I've loved music ever since I can remember, having a mother that's very musically inclined with the knowledge of artists when she was growing up & making me realise I shouldn't listen to one type of genre of music made me much more open minded when exploring new music. (thank you mother). When growing up I leaned violin & I'm currently learning piano which I'll hopefully show on here one day. 

A huge shout out to the people who have encouraged me to do this video not knowing themselves what I was capable of. I say the sky is the limit & take risks whether it be music or fashion. A couple of people have said I'm very brave for doing this & have guts, but you know what I say:
"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy". Thank you for your wise & encouraging words Norman Vincent Peale.

In no way shape or form am I doing this seriously, I'm simply doing this for fun & to also show people a side that no one has ever seen of me. Hope you enjoy this guys.

Lights, Camera, Fashion: 2012 Grammys No.3 The Best Dressed

"Oh na na were rolling in the deep". I'm sure you've guessed who my final ladies are. Only two women made my heart skip a beat on the red carpet and your about to see why. I know they are both wearing black, but if you want a few tips on wearing black then keep reading this post. Your about to see how to show a lot of skin and also how to show not that much skin at all but still look sex, beautiful and glamorous. (All photos in this post are courtesy of Just Jared I did not take these photos).

Rihanna

This black sexy silk custom gown by Giorgio Armani fits Ri Ri like a glove, if you do a plunging neckline and a very high slit, this is how you do it. And lets not forget the open dramatic back, just incase there wasn't enough skin. The dress was a collaboration by Rihanna herself and of course Mr. Armani. When getting interviewed on the carpet by Ryan Seacrest, Rihanna said  "I wanted something a little bit Michelle Pfeiffer from Scarface; simple but sexy a gangster at the same time". I place you 2nd Rihannah.

 Adele

No.1 best dressed had to go to my girl Adele. Of course with a little help from the same designer as above Giorgio Armani, Adele looks radiant, confident and very beautiful. Covered in black sequinned ring designs with a black mesh overlay she couldn't be more classy. After winning 7 Grammys on Sunday evening Adele not only draws us in with her music but also her fashion as well. Well done.

See what the sexy men had to off this year, it's nice to see colour whether it be navy, grey or brown, it always helps and you always get my vote. (All photos in this post are courtesy of Just Jared I did not take these photos). 

 Adam Lavine 

Three-piece grey suit, navy tie, pocket square and light blue and white striped shirt. How handsome does Adam look with his beautiful Victoria's secret supermodel girlfriend by his side. 

 Kings Of Leon

Head to toe in Gucci and that's how it's done. The guys from Kings of Leon do know how to work a red carpet event.
