Stunning Heidi Klum at the EMA's

Heidi Klum was the hostess of this year's MTV Europe Music Awards, and although newspapers such as Daily Mail wrote that “she certainly wasn't winning the battle of the red carpet” I thought she looked fabulous! You wouldn’t believe she was 39, would you?!

Heidi showed off a lot of cleavage and bare skin in the lace-up blue and gold studded Versace dress as she arrived on the red carpet, the first of 6 outfits she was wearing that night – all by Versace!

Before the show Heidi Klum said: 'I have six different outfits from Versace that I love very much and I think for an event like the MTV awards I usually have a little bit more fun, I can be a little bit more sexy, a little more rock 'n' roll.

It wasn't long until Heidi changed into her next dress, which was cream coloured and strapless with cut-out detailing. You can see the rest of the dresses below. Which one is your favourite? I really love the first, light blue one. It’s just really beautiful.

My Jeffrey Campbell designer shoes

I'm exstatic! I WON A COMPETITION! I never win anything. Actually - I've only won once in my life before, so when Glamorous contacted me and said I had won their facebook competition last week I was in shock. Absolutely speechless!

The shoes are designer shoes, made by noone else than Jeffrey Campbell, and are worth around £150. I've never owned a pair of designer shoes before, and I've never even spent close to that sort of money on shoes. I do believe in quality shoes, but I've never opted for designer shoes. Probably cause my bank account couldn't handle it!

The model is called Jeffrey Campbell Lita Spike, and they're black leather lace-up platform ankle boots with a big chunky heel covered in different sized studs. Definitely not my usual style, but I'll make them work ;)

I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to walk in the shoes as I'm not used to massive heels and definitely not platforms. But these shoes are actually fine to walk in. If you look at the angle of the shoe they're actually not that high, but most of the height sits in the platform - meaning you won't put too much pressure on your toes and the balls of your feet.
The platform is 2 inches (5 cm), while the heel is 5 inches (12,5 cm), so you're pretty much only wearing 3 inch (7,5 cm) heels. But do I feel tall in them, or what! My 165 cm suddenly turned into 177,5 cm!

You can find the Glamorous Facebook page here and go over to the Glamorous website if you want to have another look at the shoes and the rest of the Jeffrey Campbell collection.

Jeans and a jacket in two different ways

Same top, same boots, but different jeans and different suit jackets.

Lace vs leather?

Flared vs skinny?

Have a look for yourself and see which style you prefer.

I'd say the lace and flared style looks quite a bit more sophisticated, while the leather and skinny look looks more casual. Do you agree? By the way, the leather only sits on the collar, which you can see up close further down.

Lace and flared look: 

Wearing a very detailed black lace jacket from New Look, and dark flared denim jeans from Next.
Leather and skinny look: 

Wearing a black jersey like suit jacket with leather detail on the collar from Republic, and mid-blue denim jeans from Only.

Close up you can see the details of the different suit jackets - the fine details of the lace, and the leather collar. The top underneath is a mauve coloured vest top with lace detail from H&M.

Strike a pose!

I find it quite hard deciding which is my favourite style of the two. They're so similar but still different... I guess I'd chose according to the situation - slightly more sophisticated, or slightly more casual. Take your pick ;)

(Oh, and for anyone who's wondering - the boots are from Barratts.)

Twilight's Ashley Greene for Marie Claire

And talking about vampires… The most beautiful vampire in the world, Ashley Greene, covers the November 2012 issue of Marie Claire – just in time for the premiere of the last Twilight Saga film the 16^th of November. I’m sure Kristen Stewart will make a stunning vampire, but Ashley definitely beats her when it comes to beauty.

Since the first Twilight film came out in 2008 Ashley Greene has been the young actress to keep an eye on. I’m sure she’ll make a flying career once the whole Twilight craze is over.

Ashley is wearing a blue leather jacket by Chanel on the cover of Marie Claire.

She’s modelling several outfits in her Marie Claire feature… all too posh and expensive to talk about in depth. I won’t be able to afford any of these garments in a lifetime! She’s showing off huge designer brands such as Antonio Berardi, La Perla, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Alexander Wang, Roberto Cavalli… an exceptionally star filled wardrobe indeed. Have a look for yourself – is she beautiful, or what? :)

Happy Halloween! - Vampire makeup

Happy Halloween!

With the whole vampire craze that’s going on at the moment with the Twilight saga, True Blood, etc… what better creature to dress up as than a vampire?

I know it’s a bit early, but most people took the chance to go out for Halloween parties this weekend.

I’m going to one next weekend, and since I wanted to include these über cool contact lenses in my outfit I just wanted to make sure that I’m alright to wear them.

I’ve never worn contact lenses in my life, so I was a bit worried about putting them in alright without crying my eyes out.

After having struggled to get just one of them in the other day I wasn’t too sure about including them in my outfit after all, but I gave it another try today and it went fine! I think I just needed to get used to poking myself in the eyes! :P

The contact lenses are from Vision Direct’s range of Phantasee crazy and Halloween lenses. I’ve chosen the Twilight ones – just in time for the new Twilight film that’s coming out in 2 weeks’ time as well. They’re orange with a black edge around them.

The great thing is that they last for about a year if you take care of them properly, so I can wear them both for this Halloween, and hopefully for the next one as well. At only £29 for this pair it’s a great investment for an awesome Halloween outfit.

Here’s a comparison of my natural green eye to the left, and the Twilight lens to the right.

I admit – I cheated a little bit with this Vampire makeup… the fangs are only Photoshopped on! ;)

Anyway – if you’re going for a Halloween party next weekend there’s still time to get your hands on a cool pair of freaky contact lenses.
