FLOOD

When someone texts you saying that the kitchen/living room is flooded what would you initially think? My first thought was 'oh she must just mean a puddle'...

...she didn't mean a puddle haha.

It was literally one inch deep and it came above my shoes! After experiencing what having a swimming pool in your kitchen feels like, I would advise you all to opt against it - although you do get a great water swishing sound as you walk :L

The water also leaked out into the corridor and into two of my flatmates rooms but lucky for me if hadn't reached mine when the security people finally turned off the water. However, I woke up this morning only to see a good sized wet patch in my room :|

Early this morning the security guy drained most of the water and now as I type this the maintenance man is literally sucking up the remaining water with what looks like a giant hoover! Ahh what a fun-filled night it was haha...

JULIA ROBERTS COVERS VANITY FAIR

I'm so so so excited to see that Julia Roberts is covering the April cover of Vanity Fair! She is one of Hollywoods most recognised stars and now the Mirror Mirror Actress tells all on life, fame and her upcoming movie.

As for the cover itself, it's a beautiful shot of her and it isn't too 'posed' or over the top like we sometimes see on covers. I like how they've gone for a very natural look and even the inside editorial follows this with a simple and natural pose. 

I'm going to be picking up a copy of this when it's out on newsstands; I can't wait to read her interview...Also, on another note, the April issue also has a spread on the new Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie which I'm uber excited about; couldn't believe it when I found out it was Johnny Depp!

What do you think of Vanity Fair's april cover? Are you a Julia Roberts fan?

TOPSHOP HIDDEN TREASURE

I've been wanting to see what all the hype is about with Topshop nail polishes and so today I bit the bullet and bought the ever-so desired Chanel dupe 'Hidden Treasure'. This polish is basically a metallic petrol colour which hints on being a matt finish. 

This nail polish applies so so well, the consistency was just right and I found it went on with ease. I found two coats were all I needed to get the perfect 'petrol' look but three coats wouldn't harm! 

This polish has quickly become my absolute favourite because it's just so unique; I think this is definitely a 'get me noticed' colour. I can quite happily say that this was one of the best £6 (well £5.40 with discount) I have ever spent and I will definitely be trying more of Topshop's polishes in the future. 

Have you ever tried any of Topshop's nail polishes? Which is your favourite?

VANITY FAIR OSCARS: SOFIA VERGARA WEARS ROBERTO CAVALLI

Sofia Vergara for me is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood and it seems she can do no wrong when it comes to her Awards looks; and last night was no exception!

Sofia attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party wearing a stunning white column Roberto Cavalli floor-length gown. It had floral lace detailing over the structured top and trailing down the skirt which looked so feminine and 'pretty' for want of a better word. 

Sofia kept her hair relatively simple with long flowing curls and a centre part. Her make-up was once again flawless going for a pink lip and cat-like eyes. 

All of Sofia's accessories complimented the dress well opting for silver glittered bangles, a chunky ring and floral earrings. She paired the look with a vibrant green, aqua and gold snakeskin clutch which finished off the look by adding a pop of colour. 

I loved Sofia's look at the Vanity Fair after-party but what did you think?

VANITY FAIR OSCARS: MILEY CYRUS WEARS ROBERTO CAVALLI

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were one of the many couples at last nights after-parties that really shined; mainly due to Miley's glamourous gown. 

Miley wore a long-sleeved grey Roberto Cavalli gown with a loose fishtail and intricate embellishments on the sides. This dress was absolutely stunning and almost looked although she had been poured into it!

Miley really went for the old Hollywood look with a pinned up-do, a bright red lip and winged eyes. This look make her look so much older but in a more mature way as apposed to her usual edgy rock look.

To finish off the look Miley chose a colour popping nail polish in aqua blue, silver jewelled earrings and a statement stone ring.

Miley looked so elegant, almost like an old movie star, what did you think of her look?

84TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS

The Academy Awards or the Oscars as many of us refer to it as, are probably the most looked forward to awards of the whole season! Now although it is about the actual awards for most people, for me, it's all about the fashion and here goes with my run-down of the best and worst of the night...

Angelina Jolie

Angelina has done it yet again with this black velvet-look Versace gown. The gown donned a split up to the thigh which she took every opportunity to show off. I just love this whole look; the shoes are simple but appropriate, the hair is waved and unusual for her and the dress is just wow...this look is by far the best of the night for me; Angelina can truley do no wrong!

Gwyneth Paltrow

I'm totally and utterly surpirsed by thius one, normally Gwyneth's looks for me are average but she really got it right this time. This Tom Ford gown is so elegant and fits her perfectly and then paired with the cape - which at first I wasn't sure about - really does finish off the look. The single diamonte cuff is really a statement piece which keeps with the elgant feel and doesn't distract from the dress itself.

Penelope Cruz

Penelope has taken us back to classic Hollywood glamour in this Armani Privé gown. The colour is that of a pale, slate blue and the style of the gown is not your usual look - especially for Penelope - but she makes it work and looks beautiful in doing so!

Stacey Keibler

First I want to say that this is not Stacey's best look ever but I do adore her gold Marchesa dress. This is going to be a love it or hate it kind of dress I think but it really fits her well and compliments her figure; it's almost like liquid gold on her!

Jessica Chastain

Stunning, absolutly stunning. Jessica really looked great wearing a black and gold embelished Alexander McQueen gown and a simple half up half down hairstyle. One thing I would say though is that the dress out-staged her a little, I found myself noticing that more than I did her. One of my favourite dresses of the night though...

Milla Jovovich

Milla looks beautiful in this white Ellie Saab gown. Her whole look is done so well and the subtle touches of accessories really do add to the whole look.

Sandra Bullock

I'm torn with this look; I want to like it but theres just something that dosesn't quite do it, even though she still looks great! I love the two-tone effect on her Marchessa gown and I also like the gold embelishment on the shoulders and around thw waist but I can't help but notice how loose it is on her; if it fitted her a bit better I thyink this would be further up in my best looks.

Emma Stone

Emma took a huge risk wear this Giambattista Valli gown which has an uncanny resemblence to that of Nicole Kidman's look at the 2007 Academy Awards. I think this is one tricky move and Emma just didn't pull it off nearly as well as Nicole did; the bow is far far too big for around her neck and she looks almost lost in the dress.

Glenn Close 

This Zac Posen dress just has way too much going on for my liking. Glenn looks great for her age and I think ther look would have been far better with the jacket. The detailing of the dress with it's part-fishtail and lace detailing combined with the tailored jacket all was just too busy for me. I love the emerald green colour though!

Lea Thompson

Lea wore a glitter-tastic dress and a metalic silver shaul which all looked too disco ball for me. Her hair and jewellery really were great but the dress was not the best, there's a time and a place for that much glitter and it isn't the Oscars...

Meryl Streep

I forever find myself torn when it comes to Meryl's looks. I have to admit she does look great but I can't get past just how metalic her Lanvin gown is. I think the style is very flattering for her and her whole styling is great, maybe if the dress had been in a different colour then it would have worked better.

Well thats it for my best and worst looks from the Academy Awards. These are my opinions and I'd love to hear yours too; who was your best and worst of the night?

LAVISH LEOPARD

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 

It never fails to surprise me each time I go out the amount of leopard print I see walking the streets. It's definitely a timeless classic look that can be adapted for the minimalist or the extremist. I personally love leopard print but don't like to wear too much of it; I do wish I had more piece though sometimes. My favourite, and newest addition, is my leopard print suede loafers (as pictured above) which I got from New Look. I adore these shoes so so much and when it came to a choice between these and plain black ones, I was certainly persuaded by the print. 

Whether you're opting for a simple pair of leopard shoes like myself, or going all out with a leopard fur coat or skater dress, you can guarantee to be on trend wearing anything resembling the African wild cat. 

Are you a fan of leopard print? What's your favourite piece if you are?

xoxo
