14.02.2011- BAFTA, BAFTA, BAFTA

The BAFTA Film Awards took place last night in a rather rainy London, and I was so happy to see some very deserving winners had been chosen- Colin Firth won Best Actor for his role in The King's Speech, and the amazing Inception walked away with several awards too. And I was so happy that Tom Hardy won the Orange Rising Star Award, the only award voted for by the public as I think he's an amazing actor (unlike last year's dubious winner, I'm looking at you Kristen Stewart!) The BAFTA red carpet was also host to a parade of fabulous frocks:

 Amy Adams looked stunning in this peach Elie Saab gown with embellished detailing.

 Bonnie Wright in Clements Ribeiro.

Emma Stone in Lanvin.

 Eva Green played the understated card in this Tom Ford gown, and I loved her classic hairstyle.

 Gemma Arterton wearing Yves Saint Laurent.

 Hailee Steinfeld was my favourite of the night in this sparkly Miu Miu ensemble.

 I've included this photo a) because Julianne Moore looks amazing and b) because I have serious date envy. I think we should all have a Tom Ford a-like on call for such occasions!

Noomi Rapace, nominated for Best Actress for her role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, looking amazing in Alexander McQueen. 

Did you watch the BAFTAs? What did you think of the winners? And what were your favourite red carpet looks?

12.02.2011- Queen Kirsten

I've fallen in love with Kirsten Dunst all over again since seeing her in Marie Antoinette, a screening of which I was invited to at the Most Wanted Fashion Revolution Party, hosted by the lovely people over at vouchercodes.co.uk. (I will get round to posting about the event soon, I promise!) A few years ago my friends and I bumped into Kirsten in Selfridges' shoe department; she was so sweet, and more than happy to have a picture with us (alas a rather scary security man promptly told us off for taking photos in the store!) Anyway, I'm mentioning all of this because Kirsten is the model for the Band of Outsiders Spring 2011 Lookbook:

A tea party with a cuddly elephant? Don't mind if I do! Looking through these sun-drenched pictures makes me more eager for the warmer weather than ever, and I love the sense of character that comes across throughout. And it goes without saying that the styling is perfect. I'm off to dig out my Polaroid camera.

What do you think of Kirsten for Band of Outsiders? Have you seen Marie Antoinette? And if so, what did you think?

10.02.2011- Spring Dreams

Spring is slowly making its presence felt (how lovely was it to see the sun the other day?), and as we wave goodbye to winter, I've found a little slice of transitional inspiration in the form of this shoot, titled Watercolour Dreams, starring Natalie Gempel and shot by Lauren Withrow:

I love how Withrow has managed to capture the atmosphere of a frosty winter morning but retained a really spring-like feel thanks to the magical woodland location and styling. This shoot also really reminds me of both Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White, but I'm not really sure why!

What do you think of this shoot? Are you looking forward to spring?
