Not Another Awards Show Post

I'm afraid so! I wasn't planning on doing a who wore what style post, especially since none of the fashion on display at last nights BAFTAs really appealed to me. But once I saw some of the pictures from the 2012 Grammy Awards (also held last night), I was much more impressed and felt the need to share some of my favourites:

Corrine Bailey Rae

Katy Perry

Carrie Underwood

Bruno Mars

Kings of Leon

I'd also like to apologise for my lack of posting last week, it was an unexpectedly busy one, so unfortunately blogging was put on the back burner. This coming week looks like it's going to be just as busy, I'm starting my new job tomorrow, followed by a visit to Nottingham at the weekend to see family and friends, which I'm super excited about! But I promise this sporadic style of posting is only temporary and will not be a regular occurrence!

What do you all think of awards show fashion so far this year?

Currently Coveting: Dahlia

All dresses and shirts shown: Dahlia

Oh wow! I can't get over how much I adore Dahlia's lastest spring drops. I've been admiring their clothes for longer than I can remember and this season looks set to be as great as ever. Dahlia clothes always have a very girly and vintage feel to them, which I love, and the devil is definitely in the detail as each piece has it's own little quirks which help to make it special. Like the pussy bow on the orange blouse or the scalloped detailing on the polka dot dress, just gorgeous.

I can't wait to see what other great designs Dahlia comes out with this season. I only have one problem, deciding which piece I want to buy the most! Eenie meenie minie mo...

First Time For Everything

'Mischief' By Topshop



I've always shied away from red lipstick in the past. As much as I've wanted to wear it, my make-up is usually pretty conservative so I always thought pillar box red lippy would be too much of a big statement for me. But recently I decided it was time to man up (so to speak) and give this classic beauty trend a go, and I'm glad I did!

The lipstick that converted me is 'Mischief', part of the ever-popular Topshop make-up collection. It glides on so smoothly, is wonderfully vibrant and has a lovely soft sheen. It definitely comes with the Shona Seal of Approval

I'll leave you with a picture of me sporting my latest beauty buy. Happy weekend everyone!

Spotlight On: Love

All Items shown: Love

Happy February everyone! May I start the month by introducing 'Spotlight On'. I decided it was about time I started some regular features on my blog so every month I'll be bringing you my favourite clothing brand of the moment and telling you exactly why I think they're so ace.

Kicking things off is Love (or In Love With Fashion if you prefer). I adore their range of colours, luxurious fabrics and on-trend designs, making them a must-have for every girls wardrobe. The black wrap-over dress stands out for me as I think it would be so versatile and the maroon fishtail maxi dress is to die for!
