Head Over Heels | Current Shoe Wish List

Recently, shoes have become a love of mine. I never used to care to much about what I put on my feet, but after trying to get a little more fashion savvy, I've found that they can make or break an outfit! 

So, with all that being said, I wanted to bring you my shoe wishlist! 

1) Black Metal Tip Shoe Boots, New Look, £29.99 link

 I love a white shoe, even if they only look really great for about a weeks. These cute heels from New Look are cream, and have a cute bow accent and, in my opinion, avoid looking like a wedding shoe. The heel isn't too high, so they could work for the day but the heel is there so it can make a great night out shoe too! 

2) Cream Lace Bow Court Heels, New Look, £22.99 link

  I find that these boot like shoes are often the most comfortable. Out of all my heels, the ones in this design are the ones that I can last the night in. They mostly come in black designs like this one, but I like the hints of metallic colour on the toe and back. The heel does look quite killer, but for a dinner or something sitting down most of the time, these will make your legs look fabulous.

3) Blue Floral Print Denim Ballet Pumps, New Look, £12.99 link

 These floral flats are something that appeal to the inner girly young person inside of me. I love having a nice  pattern flat to spice up a slightly boring outfit like skinny jeans and a simple tee. They look comfortable, and the colour is great and will go with quite a lot. 

4) Chains and Studs Embellished Trainers, Everything Five Pounds, £5.00 link

I used to live in trainers, but since finding my slightly more feminine side I've kind of given them up. When I saw these, I just found myself lusting after them. They have a nice edge to them with the studs. The high top design is something that really appeals to me, and the colour is great for a number of different outfits. 
 

5) Canvas Loafers, H&M, £12.99 link

When I saw these, I wanted them right away. They cute drawing on the slipper design shoe is brilliant! They have a nice quirkiness to them without being over the top. The colour isn't too dark for the summer, but the grey can transfer to the autumn/winter too. 

6) Metal Fitting Bow Small Wedge Shoes, Everything Five Pounds, £5.00 link

 I can't pull off this shade of blue, but I love the shade. I thought in a shoe, it would be easier to pull off and it would give me a chance to own something in a colour I adore! The design is something I've worn before so I know it looks great with most of my clothes. The  very slight wedge means you they can be great for day wear, but I think they have a slight dressy feeling too them which means I would wear these out at night.

The Oscars 2013: Best Dressed, Worst Dressed and All Things Inbetween

I'll keep this post as short as possible. I'm no fashion expert. I really don't care about trends and all the crap. I like what I like, and I'll wear it if I want to. So, when it comes to reviewing award show fashions I just pick out what I like! These are my opinions alone, and I'm sorry if you don't agree! Perez Hilton doesn't! You win some you lose some I guess. Anyways, on with the fashion review!

I have a few categories that I use, and I'll use them from now on in my reviews like this. The fist being Oh Damn! In here you will find the people who, when you see them, just make you think oh damn! 

Charlize Theron and Amanda Seyfried (Oh Damn Girls!)

Charlize Theron

She is now officially a girl crush of mine. Not many people would be able to pull this dress off but she does. And man, she does it well! I'm not sure about the hair, but I never am with short hair. She keeps everything a little sexy, but still all covered which is always a hard combo to handle for some people. 

Amanda Seyfried 

Amanda. Oh Amanda. You look GORGEOUS! I saw this on a worst dressed list and wanted to scream. She looks stunning. The colours work with her skin tone, her hair looks lovely. I want her makeup. All of it! The dress is flattering, classy and elegant. If I could look like this, I would in 3 seconds flat! 

The next category is something along the lines of "Yeah, you look nice" said with a nodding of the head. 

Adele, Jennifer Aniston and Helen Hunt (Yeah, you look nice)

Adele

Yay! She's finally wearing something that fits, flatters and looks nice. She's made some questionable fashion choices but this isn't on of them. It's classy and elegant, and just works for her. The hair and makeup might have been seen a few thousand times on here, but she looks so beautiful with it that I don't even care. 

Jennifer Aniston 

I love this woman, and have since that first episode of Friends. I think she's a beautiful lady, and wears most things well. She might not be brings the sexy 'Rachel' back with the hair, and it might look a little limp but the dress looks fab. It's one of the only dressed with a trail and big puffy skirt that I love. I like the colour and the fit, and doesn't over expose the boobs! 

Helen Hunt

She looks nice. I can't say much more than that. The dress is very elegant, the colour is stunning and the fit if beautiful. I love the necklace. It just adds that little something without it being too much. It's not my favourite hair style on her but it works just fine. 

Next we have the "Ermm What?" category.

Eve Stewart (Ermm What?)

Eve Stewart

To be honest, I'm not even sure what dress she is wearing but I don't think it matters. I just want to know why someone is wearing cat ears to the Oscars. They might be pretty cat ears, but they are still cat ears and she's still at the Oscars. I just can't even....

Next up, I have the "It works for you". I find that some people pull other things better than others. I think the outfits on the next two people might be a bit.. erm... awful but on these people they work and don't look bad.

Helena Bonham Carter 
This lady always makes me stop and think. I think it's her personality, or the characters that she plays in films, but she pulls of dresses that should be awful.  This might not be the best thing she's ever worn but she pull it off better than most would. The straps could look better but I like the rest. 

Jane Fonda
I don't know how she manages to pull off this bright yellow, fitted and  structured dress but she does and she look great in it! I like the V next design, and I love the way it sits on her. The detail is gorgeous and gives here a beautiful shape, and I just love it on her. I don't think it would work on many other people though.

The next is the "could be better" category. These girls look stunning, but there are just certain aspects of the outfits that I would change so they reach the Oh Damn! category.

Jennifer Hudson, Catherine Zeta Jones and Renee Zellweger (Could Be Better)

Jennifer Hudson

The only thing I would change is the fit around the stomach area. I think it could be a bit more flattering on her, but the colours work and she looks stunning.

Catherine Zeta Jones

I just don't like the bottom. I don't get the whole sheer thing, and think someone as gorgeous as her can do soo much better.   I love the dress until it hits her knee, so maybe I'd chop it off there or keep it all opaque. 

Renee Zellweger

Oh honey, I think it might be the fact that you are so skinny. I don't like how low the dress is under the arm and I don't like the way it lays on her figure. I've always preferred Renee in her Bridget Jones stage to be honest, so I little more meat on her wouldn't go a miss and it might make her fill out the dress a little more.   

Now we get on to the "Just no" category.  

Salma Hayek, Jennifer Garner, Oliva Munn and Kristen Stewart

Salma Hayek
She looks amazing for 46, but what is happening with this dress. I don't like the material, and the neckline makes me cringe a little. She can pull off so many things, but this just isn't one of them. 

Jennifer Garner 
I only have one sentence on this dress! What are the little ruffle things on the side? I will leave it there, because without those she would be one of my best dressed!  

Olivia Munn
For me this just sits down too low, and I'm not a fan of the bottom either. I just want this to cover much more boobage than it does, and I think the bottom could have be better by keeping it slimmer. The extra puff around the hips and waist isn't a hit for me either. 

Kristen Stewart
She is always a hit and miss for me when it comes to fashion. I think she is stunning and she sort of an idol of mine but this dress is horrid. I'm sorry but it is. The colour is too pale for her in my opinion, and the bottom is just a bit of a mess. I want it to sit higher too. I have reveiwed some of her fashion choices before if you fancy a peek (link).

The last official category in my weird little head is "Oh honey! why?". This is my worst dressed of the Oscars 2013.  
 

Melissa McCartney, Sally Field and Rachel Mwanza 

Melissa McCartney 
I don't even know where to begin with this to best honest. It just doesn't look good. Melissa is always a bit of a miss when it comes to fashion. She doesn't make the greatest fashion choices, and this just emphasises all the wrong areas.
 
Sally Field 
This is just too much for me. With the different textures and different varieties of sheer fabric makes my little head hurt. It's not as bad a some, but it's not good. Sorry!
 
Rachel Mwanza 
I have a "what are you thinking?" moment with this dress. I don't get it, at ALL! It's big and puffy, the pattern isn't great and it's all different lengths. It's not Oscars worthy, and it's not doing anything for me at all. 

To end this post, lets all give KStew an aww for the crutches she was on. Poor girl can't catch a break at the Oscars. First she coughs while giving out an award, and now she's hopping down the red carpet.

Kristen Stewart | Style Likes and Loathes

The official movie posters. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn Part 1 & Breaking Dawn Part 2

From my constant tweets about my excitement for the final Twilight film you can probably all tell that I’m a Twilight fan. It’s quite sad to think about but I really grew up on these movies and books and it’s quite sad to see it all come to an end. It feels like the right time though because I feel old enough to let it go. I know it’s quite sad to think about a film/book series like that but I’m sure everyone has that one thing they grew up with and this was mine. 

 I have a review of the film coming up but I don’t want to post it to soon because it will include spoilers so I’m going to wait a week or so until I publish it. So, I’m going to do a little fashion post on the stars. I think I’m going to split it up into three of four posts because I don’t want this to be horribly long. Part one is going to focus on the main girl herself, Kristen Stewart. I’ve picked some of my favorite looks alongside those more questionable ones she’s pulled out the bag since 2008. 

 I'm no expert when it comes to fashion and I generally go with what I feel comfortable in and I like clothes on other people when they look more comfortable which I why I love some of these looks.

My favourites can be seen here and she wears Prabal Gurung on the Breaking Dawn Press Tour, Versace for an Eclipse Photo Call, Julien Macdonald for a Breaking Dawn P2 photo call, Yigal Azrouël at the MTV movie awards in 2009 and
Balmain at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. 

I always think Kristen looks better in a shorter dress rather than those floor length gowns and lets face it shes got the legs that you can show off to the world. Sometimes I think she could do with a little tan slapped on them because she is very very pale but with the right colours in the dress that pale works. 

My absolute favorite off them all above would be the red and black dress and chucks. I think it really reflects here own style rather than what she's been told to wear. The red pin dress is a close runner up though because she pulls it off when others would have look just a tad stupid. I think these dresses make her look her age as well which is brilliant. I think the Julien Macdonald dress is really sophisticated and really flatters here "boyish figure". It gives her a goregous shape and hits the leg in a nice place. Kristen has always been a master of the LBD and I think the first two looks in this picture are the best she's worn. The black contrasts nicely with her pale skin and I adore the higher neck lines.

Sorry, but what were you thinking? You can see Kristen in Elie Saab at the LA Eclipse Premiere, Oscar De La Renta at the New Moon Premiere, Proenza Schouler at a New Moon premiere, J Mendel at a New Moon Photo Call and Zuhair Murad at the Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere.

I've seen so many reviews of these outifts and they are all mixed but I'm just not a fan of any of them. I think some would look better on other people so it's not the dress I hate it's just that they don't suit Kristen. 

The Elie Saab dress at the Eclipse premiere is just to white and I don't like the shape. The shape doesn't so her any favours, and I think it might have been a bit better had the single sleeve been shorter or just a strap. The colour washes her out like the J Mendel dress at the New Moon Photo Call event in Paris.

The New Moon Permiere look is just a big no no for me. I don't think Kristen looks her best in 'gowns' so that works against her and the hair is just not something that goes with it at all. The Proenza Schouler dress from a New Moon event just makes me think "WHAT?!?" It's a very bizzare outfit for a premiere and it just doesn't work for me.
