Here are my top selections of my Best Dressed celebs from Grazia's ' This Week's Best Dressed'
Bella Thorne - looking oh so chic in her Katie Ermilio two piece. She looks flawless rocking the crop trend with her peplum maxi skirt, its all very vintage looking, which of course, I love!
Nicole Kidman looks lovely in her lavender Pucci embellished dress
There has been huge controversy over Gwyneth Paltrow's choice of her futuristic Antonio Berardi dress, some saying it was too daring, well, i think she looks simply stunning! It's nice to see celebs being adventurous in their clothing choices for the red carpet, at times, they can tend to morph into each other. Gwyneth loves a little peek-a-booand she has that amazing body to pull it off, so, why not?!!
Kate Hudson looks very relaxed and comfortable in her black leather skit and top combo paired with a injection on hot pink shoes - perfection
Kourtney Kardashian, is by far the best dressed out of the three older Kardashian sisters. Here, in her purple croc leather dress, she looks sophisticated and cool. She seems as though she hasn't tried too hard, with her casual up-do and nude pointed shoes. She looks stunning, her post baby bod is amazing!
Sarah Jessica Parker is the queen of casual New York dressing (oh and also glam dressing). Here she tries out her best acting skills, flagging a taxi while totally posing! You gotta lover her. I adore her cream buckle boots, metallic jacket and bed-head hair. Casual yet still oh so put together dressing (see the matching bag strap to her metallic jacket): street-style.
Alessandra Ambrosio is definitely giving SJP a run for her money in the street-style dressing front. Except, Alessandra has the warm LA streets to accompany her relaxed dress code of bang-on-trend dip-dye shirt and statement handbag. Perfect for a stroll in the sun.
I have done a lot of on-line shopping this week, not good for my bank balance, but very good for my upcoming holiday! Below are a few things that i have seen this week that have caught my eye for one reason or another. I literally need to order these silver flatforms from Miss Guided right now!
How cute is this jewelled and cotton bracelet from Mango, another holiday essential
To say that i am obsessed with Gabrielle Chanel aka Coco Chanel, is a huge understatement. I have read my favourite biography about her life, I think about 30+ times! She was so intriguing and her life was very eventful. So I was very pleased to see this clip released of Keira Knightley chanelling Coco Chanel's life in Karl Largerfeld's short film, 'Once Upon a Time' - cannot wait to see it in full
Also on my 'Must See' list is the hugely anticipated movie 'The Great Gatsby.' Obviously for the story....but, mainly for the FASHION! I mean, check out Carey Mulligan sporting this specially made flapper style headband by iconic brand Tiffany & Co. Hi 1920s fashion trend....
Poppy Delevingne's little sister, Cara Delevingne, is continuing to be THE model of the moment, but Poppy has been stealing the limelight in her Vogue's 'Today I'm Wearing' April style diary. This is my favourite look of her April diary - love those blue split hem trousers and oh so on trend snakeskin shoes :)
Last week was very eventful with work, eating out, seeing friends and my boyfriend and squeezing in a Vintage Buying trip :)
Amazing aubergine dish at The South Bank, Liverpool - date night with my two best friends
Love this poster hanging inside a art gallery in Liverpool. Fitting for so many occasions!
OK so i was not happy to say the least to be working on a Sunday - it should officially be banned! But, I was so excited to wear my H&M mesh boots :)
Hand in hand with working a Sunday.....a COFFEE!!!
Lovely dinner date with my lovely boyfriend at Leaf, Liverpool. This chicken and chorizo stew was yummy!
After work coffee with the boyfriend at The Quarter, Liverpool. The cutest eatery ever. All before couples game night with our friends!
The vintage buying trip came up trumps with these beaded beauties! Kaftan dresses from £45

Life has been very hectic lately so my blogging has been slightly neglected! Not anymore though, i'm back on it....
My outfit today, off visiting my cousin and her beautiful baby boy on this oddly warm yet grey day. Wearing H&M faux-leather trousers, Zara top, vintage elephant belt, New Look necklace, H&M shoes and a Internacionale tribal print scarf:
Sharing new purchases for my holiday :) White ripped jeans, ripped denim jeans, aqua skater dress and a cream knitted vest top all from H&M with a lemon and cream fringe kimono and cream lace midi dress (very Valentino last year) both from Miss Selfridge. Super excited for my holiday!
My outfit on Friday night for a date night with my best friends. It was a lovely warm evening, so i thought i could wear my new spring pale lemon blazer with my new H&M jeans, chunky rose gold chain, and vintage bag:
New neck candy. another to add to the necklace collection. A bargain at £12.99 from New Look. I think it is very Gucci-esque
