My favourite outfits from The Brits 2014

As stated in The BAFTA's post, this week is a hectic time for London and Awards Evenings.
On Wednesday night, The Brits were held at The O2 Arena in London. It's one of the biggest nights in the music calender but eyes were more on what the celebrities were wearing rather then what they were winning.
There were plenty of amazing outfits, yet there were some pretty bad ones. But, this post is about the outfits that I personally liked. I would just like to state that I own none of these photographs. I will source where I got them from.

Firstly, is the forever stylish Fearne Cotton. Fearne hardly ever puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion. Prada was the outfit choice for Fearne at this years Brits. The dress resembled a metallic look. Metallic clothing is going to be a huge trend this year and Fearne carried this trend off superbly. Fearnes' outfit was simple yet stylish with her silver bag and matching heels. If only this dress was from Fearnes' "Very"collection, then we could afford it :(

The next outfit I really liked was by Peaches Geldof. The outfit that Peaches wore was extremely simple but she pulled it off well. Even though Peaches is a mum of two, she rocked a gorgeous toned stomach (which I'm very jealous of!) in a black crop top and black leather skirt. And what's more?! Peaches proudly supported a high street retailer as this outfit was from none other than River Island!! (Yes, us mere mortals can actually afford this :) ) The clothes from River Island listed below are not exactly the same as what Peaches wore but are similar pieces.

Pharrell Williams is my next choice. The musician traded his trusted Vivienne Westwood hat for a classy Lanvin suit. The tuxedo was a sliver glittery colour. The trousers were tapered at the hem which I thought, suited Pharrells' frame and look. Pharrell finished off this outfit by donning black patent brogues. This is a very classy look, which I feel is a great trend for men. However, I spoke to soon about the hat. Pharrell performed his signature song, "Get Lucky" with Nile Rodgers, where Pharrell saw it to be a great opportunity to bring out the headpiece. All I'm going to say is, 'What a hat.'

My next two choices are going to be written together as I think they are wearing similar outfits. (Well, kinda). Beyonce and Lily Allen both wore sparkly, glittery numbers. Let me focus first on Beyonce. This may get me into trouble (I apologise) but I'm not going to hold back on my opinions as this is partly what my blog is for. I feel Beyonce is somewhat overrated (I'm sorry!). Beyonce is a great singer but I feel people treat her like a Queen. Saying that, Beyonce and Jay - Z are one of my favourite Celebrity couples. Beyonce, as always, looked gorgeous in a glamorous outfit with a reported 400,000 Swarovski crystals. The star wore a sparkling floor - length green dress which was by Vrettos Vrettakos. The dress was long sleeved and suited Beyonce perfectly. As I'm sure the majority of us can't afford the price tag, I have found a similar dress at Motel Rocks. It is the Gabby Sequin Plunge Back Dress which is £58 and very sparkly indeed. Lily Allen also wore a long sleeved sparkley dress. Again, this dress suited Lilys' figure and had a vintage vibe to it with its' turtleneck style and long length. The dress was a black number by Norrell; it was simple yet elegant.

Lastly, my choice is Ellie Goulding. There have been articles floating around that Ellie Goulding and Kylie Minogue were the worst dressed at The Brits, however, I disagree about Ellie but DEFINITELY agree with Kylie. Ellie Goulding dazzled fans by arriving at the Ceremony in a dress fit for a Princess (quite literally). Elie Gouldings' dress was by Vivenne Westwood. The gown had a sculpted pink bodice with frothing white layers of netting from the waist down. This dress really complimented Ellies' figure and I felt the colour suited her.

These were just a few of my favourite outfits from The Brits. I just wish I could afford them! 

Tomorrow I will be doing a post on how I style my velvet pieces together. 

Until then,

Angelina Jolie at The BAFTAs 2014 - THE Tailored Suit

This week is definitely a big week in regards to fashion in the UK. Three star - studded events are being held this week. The events are: London Fashion Week, The BAFTAs and The Brits. Basically, it's all about the London look.
This post is concentrating on Angelina Jolie at The BAFTAs and tailored suits.
The androgynous look is becoming more and more popular with the female population. Style and comfort is becoming a must. Angelina Jolie proudly mixed chic and the androgynous look as one at The BAFTAs this week.

Didn't Brangelina look fabulous together at The BAFTAs?! I remember when Victoria and David Beckham tried to attempt to pull off matching outfits on the red carpet a few years ago  (which failed immensely!) but Brangelina succeed!
Angelina looks gorgeous and definitely rocks the androgynous image and Brad is just looking at her adoringly, aww. The tailored suit that Angelina is wearing is from Yves Saint Laurent. Now, I am probably speaking for the majority of people right now but Yves Saint Laurent isn't exactly affordable, especially if you're a poor graduate like me. But it's okay! There are affordable tailored suits out there!

ASOS Tailored Jacket and Trousers:

ASOS Relaxed Blazer  £35 - found here

ASOS Trousers in Crepe with Slim Lapel £45 - found here

I am a big fan of ASOS' suits. They are smart and can be relied on. The Relaxed Blazer is smart yet casual with its fit. I can imagine it is a comfortable blazer. Sometimes, I find blazers can be quite tight and I can never really feel I have a lot of space to move around in fitted blazers. Therefore, I tend to stick to boyfriend blazers. This blazer would be perfect for a formal occasion yet can be worn with a pair of jeans for example. 

The ASOS trousers in Crepe actually are part of a matching set with a more fitted blazer. But after some consideration, I personally felt the relaxed blazer looked better with these trousers. But, the blazer which goes with the trousers is also listed on the link above if you prefer that blazer. :)

ZARA Royal Blue Blazer and Jacket: 

                   ZARA Buttoned Blazer £49.99 - found here

ZARA Ankle - Cropped Trousers - £29.99 - found here

This is a gorgeous royal blue tailored suit from Zara. Tailored suits don't have to be just black. Wearing this suit, you would definitely stand out from the crowd and would be making a great statement. I am a big, BIG fan of ankle grazer type trousers as they really compliment your ankles and look great with flats and boots. Ankle - cropped trousers are making a big impact on the fashion scene this year. (I own many pairs). I am also VERY impressed with the price of the cropped trousers at £29.99!. Usually Zara can be over priced I feel, but this is a reasonable price! The trousers look great quality too. This suit would definitely brighten up a dull office!. 

So, there we have it. My first blog post. How do you like to style tailored suits? Have you seen any reasonably priced tailored suits? Hope you enjoyed my first blog post (first of many!). :)

Lots of love,
