A Night at The Oscars

Did you catch the Oscars? 

It's become a bit of a tradition- like Christmas Eve or the night before my birthday (7th of June- just in case you're wondering). I clear out any spectators, pour myself a glass of wine, skip straight past any predictions or awards and head straight for the red carpet fashion!

As predicted, the Oscars 2015 did not disappoint. With a strong lean towards all things Fiery Red and Natural Nude's- our best dressed award of the night, without a shadow of a doubt, goes to Jennifer Lopez! 

Creating a true Cinderella moment in this Elie Saab creation- Jennifer Lopez never fails to wow the red carpet. Sticking to a relatively safe colour but an overly dramatic silhouette- Jenny Lo manages to get the balance of creation & creative absolutely right! And as if that wasn't enough...

The lights dimmed as the evening transitioned into the Vanity Fair After Party and like a true trooper, Lopez shimmied into her go to designer friend - Zuhair Murad...

#Swoon.

Our other top picks for the night are: 

Miss Johansson in plunging green Versace, Rosamund Pike's Red Lace Creation & Lupita Nyongo in a Calvin Klein Collection gown!

Our not so favourites? 

Paltrow in Petals, Lady Gaga a.k.a. the fire marshall for the evening & Rita Ora... I have no words.

The Run up to the Main Event

My wardrobe changes a lot.

I may put on an, attempted, well ironed and starched formal number one day, or chuck on a creased shirt and worn in biker boots another- but the one article of clothing that stays constant in my wardrobe is my signature uniform in the run up to the main event- my dressing gown.

Call it what you may-dressing gown, silk robe, I've even heard a whisper of a housecoat from a friend that reigns from the northern regions- it’s the one thing I can’t bear to be without.

Wearing my trusted silk number at least once a day for the past year, it is officially safe to say that it has seen better days- and it is now time to, alas, find a replacement for my trusted companion. With a slightly heavy heart [ok shelving the dramatics], I started my search into the market for the perfect replacement and came across the luxurious Julianna Rae.

A tailor-made approach to luxury Robes; Julianna Rae’s apparel is designed for the healthy, active, independent woman who have a sense of style and most importantly a sense of themselves.

My favourites from the collection include the Il Cieli Spa Wrap, and what’s more it’s reversible! 

Fine & delicious silk on one side, and delectably soft mini-terry on the other- that’s definitely a two in one worth investing in!

I also fell head over heels for this La Tresor Silk Wrap with a delicate lace trim on the sleeves and side seam pockets- the perfect getting ready companion before heading out for an evening in the city!

Stocked mainly in the states, you can pick up one of these babies here.

Go on ladies- wrap yourself in luxury this spring!
