2009 ARIA AWARDS FASHION

THURSDAY - PART 1

Lisa Mitchell. She's definitely pulling off this futuristic look. Wow maybe everyone was right years ago, everything seems to be becoming more and more space aged/futuristic the last couple of years.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte. This dress again again? I have to admit, it is a stunner.

Paulini. She's such a beauty and I like her music, but I definitely would have styled her different although she doesn't look bad.

Charli Delaney. She has the body for it, but it's still a no.

Jessica Mauboy. White looks great against her golden skin.

Kate Ritchie. I like this dressy take on studs.

Sally Singleton. Dress is nice, but the styling is off.

Vanessa Amorosi. I never understood the safety pin thing, but her hair looks cool.

Sia. I'm obsessed with her music!

MTV AUSTRALIA AWARDS 2009 STYLE

SATURDAY - PART 2

Danii Minogue. I'm not sure about the biker gloves, but I this is how you do the futuristic look in a sophisticated way.

Duffy. This girl is adorable, and she makes great style choices for her look and body. I would love to raid her wardrobe. She always manages to keep it simple, but interesting at the same time.

The Wentzs. I really don't like that cape thing.

Jessica Mauboy. I featured her no long ago in 'Today's Song'.

This was her first look, I think the second one is much better.

Lara Bingle. This girl certainly has a love/hate relationship with the press. Personally I think she's a bit of a tart, but she was seriously pulling out all the stops with this head to toe Louis Vuitton look.

Caffie Davis. I'm not sure how I feel about the Alice Dellal esque hair on her.

Sia. She's one of my favorite artists, if you don't know her just listen to some of her music on Youtube and I'm sure you'll say you've heard it before in a movie or TV show.

Audrina Partridge. I was wondering what she was doing in Australia, but then I realized it's the MTV Awards and she's on The Hills haha. I wish she and her ceiling eyes would go away already.

Ruby Rose (with Audrina). Rudy is apparently dating Jess from The Veronicas.

Delta Goodrem and Brain McFadden. ( Delta's fiance / Former Westlife member & use to be married to Kerry Katona from Atomic Kitten / They have 2 kids) What happened to Brian? He use to be quite cute, but that beard is just making him fug especially next to gorgeous Delta. She looks great from the neck up, but that dress if fug along with Brain's beard.

Maude Garratt. I don't like bubble dresses, I'm sort of sick of seeing them. They've popped up in so many mainstream stores that they are starting to look cheap to me. That being said, the color is fabulous on her and she accessorized it well.

April Rose-Pengilley. My favorite of the night here, although that's not saying much.

SWIM FASHION WEEK - ZIMMERMAN

WEDNESDAY - PART 1

It's swim fashion week in the Gold Coast, Australia and I can't get enough of one of my favorite Australian brands Zimmerman. They make great clothes, but they make even better swimsuits. They are definitely the ones to go to if you are looking for a gorgeous adorable piece. Summer will be around teh corner before you know it, just hang tight!

CELEB STYLE - PEACHES & PIXIE GELDOF

FRIDAY
PART 2

British Socialite Peaches Geldof has opened up her home to Theselby.com. She shares her home with two roommates, though I do find it strange that she doesn't live with her Husband Max Drummy. So far this union has lasted a lot longer then I expected...time will tell. I've always had a slight fascination with Peaches, mainly because she never seems happy and there's always a depressed air about her that doesn't seem to match her style.



I really dislike that tattoo, it runs nearly the whole length of her body. I wouldn't have a problem with that if I didn't find it ugly. Most of her tats are not my taste, I must prefer Kelly Osbourne's & Sienna Millers (I actually got one identical to hers).


Is that plaid scarf from Topshop? It looks very similar to the one I got in London (See below).




Peaches in 3.1 Philip Lim and Emma Watson in Flare Magazine (Canada). I really like the combination of soft and hard on Emma.

The pattern of the dress and skirt remind me a lot of the Thakoon dress Michelle Obama has on. As much as I like Thakoon's designs, I also find that he tends to rip off bunch of designers and throw it all on the runway. He works it out, so it's okay with me.

I guess she shares clothes with her roommate, I recognized the jumpsuit from the one Peaches wore a month or so ago.

Apart from hipster clothes and accessories, there doesn't seem to be anything too special to look at in her place....strange...



Peaches and her husband Max.

I definitely prefer her as a blonde to a brunette.

That first outfit reminds me of something Mischa Barton wore in London last year when she was going through her cowboy rocker phase.









PEACHES AND CORY KENNEDY I've heard and read pretty much nothing but bad things about these two girls so I guess they deserve each other. Apart from style, nobody likes a mean girl.

PEACHES AND CORY IN NYLON

I bought this headband the other day at Urban Behaviour, and then when I was doing research for this post I noticed that Peaches pretty much had the identical one. So if you live in Canada, go get your hands on it it retails for 10.50CAD. (See mine below)

PEACHES ON THE
RUNWAY FOR PPQ Who's idea was this? She's a terrible model! I think this was done on purpose just to butcher her, her hair doesn't even look slicked back properly. Somebody is having a nice laugh...

Rihannaalso wore the same dress earlier this year.

FILE UNDER: JUST NO!

PEACHES AND PIXIE GELDOF

PIXIE GELDOF I love this cover of Pixie in the Miu Miu dress, she's channeling her late mother Paula Yates (R).

Personally I find Pixie's style much more inspirational then Peaches.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHRISTMAS I took this picture of Parliament (Our version of Big Ben (Westminster) / the White House etc) while walking home the other day. I live downtown so it's convinent because of the current bus strike. http://www.fireottawabusdrivers.com/ thank you for a Merry freezing Christmas!

So Christmas blew in and left just as quickly and this was the aftermath...

I decided that I wanted all my birthday and Christmas presents at the same time.

I got the knew retro Nike's i've been eying in the display window for the longest time. I don't think this picture really does them justice. If you are looking for something similar, keep in mind this is a Men's shoe I just got a smaller size.




I got Influence, yay! I haven't really gotten a chance to sit down and read it. I also got the Guiness book of records to add to my collection.

Finally a new blow dryer, I've been in need of this for ages. I've not sure about that diffuser thing, isn't it for people with long curly hair? I have no use for it anyway.

I mentioned to my BF when we were at the art store how much I use to love paint by numbers, I had no idea he would take it so literally. What a fun gift, I've already started on one, but it's a lot more complicated than I remembered.

Beret & Umbrella from H & M

My boyfriend got this from his mom, we were skyping with the fam in Australia. It was cool they opened the gifts we had sent them in front of us. I felt really nervous, I've never been on Cam this way, and I haven't seen them in so long.

I got a bunch of sewing stuff at stocking stuffers, since I plan on getting back to it.

Birthday gift from my mother, a lovely brand new sewing machine. now I have to figure out how to work it. I'm so use to sewing by hand...

My friend from Poland that I met in Europe sent me this calendar. Now I can can brush up on my Polish.

The best gift of all that I got from my boyfriend was a brand new laptop. I was so use to using the beat up old crappy one that it was a bit strange to make the transfer to something so fancy with such a large screen (17"). Part of me didn't want to let go, but it was time. I took a full day to copy all my files etc accross...thank God he's tech savy.

I also got a printer (scanner, photocopier), I haven't had one of those in like 7 years!

After opening our gifts, we sat down for The Queens message. I never normally listen to this stuff, but it's worth it for a few fleeing shots of the hottest red head on earth, my darling Prince Harry. I guess this stuff is only broadcasted in commonwealth countires so I'm sharing it with America.

Oh William has just gone down ten points for me, first he's balding and now the beard? Oh Well

RANDOM PURCHASES

I really wanted a leopard scarf, so when I spotted this at Wal-Mart the other day for 5$ I bought it. But than...

I saw this absolutely gorgeous one at Le Chateau, I just had to have it...It looks very similar to Keira's except I'm sure her's is Louis Vuitton.

I got this supersize tank at American Apparel, I think it will look amazig in the summer and at the beach.

I can't believe I bought this locally, it's so rare that I get stuff in Ottawa, but Urban Behaviour has been turning out some really cute pieces. I love this shift dress, I wore it out to dinner on my birthday.

I bought this really cute top (well more like a long dress) from fellow blogger Ediot on Etsy. She's personalized it herself, it's really cute, but verylong on me. It's definitely one for the summer.

I also got this really nice Marc Jacobs sweater/jacket for my birthday, it's sooo cozy.

I wasn't really planning on spending, since I've been uber generious this year which had dented my wallet, but I had to have this top when I saw it at Arizia the other day.

Really good bargains at Old Navy, but then again when is their not? These long sleeved tops were only 5.99CAD each. Bargain!

TODAY'S SONG:

Lights - Drive my Soul

I've featured this song before by Canadian artist Lights, but now I'm posting the video because it is so cute. You might recognize it, because it was used in an Old Navy commercial. Enjoy!
