Jean Paul Gaultier's Amy Winehouse Tribute Show

Jean Paul Gaultier decided to do a tribute to remember Amy Winehouse and her style during his S/S runway show this week. Many of the fashion pieces seen on the runway were inspired by Amy's style as well as the hair and makeup. Gaultier himself said “She was an icon of fashion and truly, the sense of how she mixed the clothes — it was great,” I think it was a really cool idea and was a great tribute. However, Amy's own father is not happy with the runway show and told The Sun that “We’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy’s death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting, or consulted on. It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life,” Now, it probably would have been a good idea to get the okay before doing the show, but I don't think this was some sort of gimmick to make more money; simply a tribute to Amy and her style. I think it was tastefully done and the models and pieces look great.
What do you think?

Fashion Wants

I shouldn't have done this, but I love the website LuLus.com and when I was looking at another blog there was an ad for LuLus, and being the idiot I am I clicked on it. The reason it's a bad idea is because I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything online until I got a new job! So I'm basically just torturing myself. But anyway, I decided a new healthy way to curb my online shopping addiction would be to post items I like on here instead of actually buying them :). So here are my fashions wants from LuLus:

Jeffrey Campbell Nightwlk-F Yellow Black Hearts Platforms

A-Cute Angle Gold Necklace

Collective Concepts Then We Zagged Print Top

 Melrose Place Taupe and Black Lace Dress

 Brandy Melville Angelica Cross Print Sweater Top

 

Qupid Luxe Brulee Black Snake Spikes & Stones Wedge Booties

Privileged Gorgeous Black Rhinestone Wedge Pumps

Michael Antonio Studio Mercer Black Triple Wedge Ankle Boots

Coral Reef Strapless Lace Dress

Babytalk Belted Peach Dress

Lucy Love Gabriella Mint Green Dress 

 Winds of Change Silver Feather Earrings

 

Harper's Bazaar Indonesia Spread

I love this Harajuku inspired fashion spread so much! I love anything that's Japanese pretty much like all the cute (kawaii) stuff in the spread! And I especially love the appearances from Hello Kitty!

Golden Globes Fashion: Best and Worst Dressed

Another award show so another best and worst dressed post! The Globes are a huge fashion night so it's important to pull out your best at them! Some people did it perfectly, while others tried but fell flat. Here are my choice for best and worst dressed:

Best Dressed:

 Nicole Richie

I love Nicole and usually love her fashion choices. The Globes was no exception. It's not my favourite of her looks but it still looks great on her. It could use a little more oomph though.

Nicole Kidman

Usually not a fan of her fashion choices but I love the fit and detailing on this dress.

Mila Kunis

I think Mila is one of the most gorgeous girls in the Hollywood so usually she can do no wrong in my eyes. I love this dress but she was very close to a wardrobe malfunction! Love that she took the risk though.

Michelle Williams

If I could make a so-so dressed list she would be one it but I chose to go with best dressed this time. I hate velvet so that brings this dress down a few notches but I do love the color and the print. It could use a better neckline though.

Sofia Vergara

To me this is the type of dress meant for the Golden Globes! It definitely has the wow factor and fits her perfectly. 

Zooey Deschanel

Still somewhat undecided on this one. She's a beautiful girl and the dress is okay... not my favourite though.

 Shailene Woodley

This dress just looks so delicate and I love the detailing of it. Fits very well too! It could almost be a wedding gown.

Selma Hayek

Possibly my favourite of the night. The top is fabulous. Looks almost Egyptian to me.

Sarah Hyland

Another favourite of the night. The dress looks old Hollywood. I absolutely love the lace and the black belt perfects the whole ensemble. Gorgeous hair too!

Evan Rachel Wood

I love this one! She looks like a mermaid mixed with a peacock!

Charlize Theron

This dress would have been better without the cinched fabric of the cutout leg but overall I still like it. She kind of looks like a ballerina.

Jessica Alba

Again gorgeous detailing and I love the colour!

Emma Stone

Much better than at the People's Choice Awards! Really like the colour and the belt.

Worst Dressed:

Natalie Portman

I love her, but this dress is just boring to me. Plus the tail part sticks out weird; it looks like she has a stuck propping it up. And the pink is just too pink for an award show like this.

Madonna

Honestly not a huge fan of Madonna and this dress just solidifies it haha. The top is gorgeous but the bottom is just hideous. 

Maya Rudolph

This is just not flattering on her and for this type of event it's just too boring.

Sharon Osbourne

I never like this style of dress. There's just too much fabric! Something more form fitting would have been much better.

Sara Michelle Gellar

This dress is such a dissapointment! I love the pattern and it could have such potential but just like with Sharon Osbourne's dress there is way too much fabric!

Amanda Peet

This is horrible on so many levels. It looks like an old woman dress. Actually I don't think even my grandmother would wear this dress.

Kelly Osbourne

This isn't the worst of the night, but it just falls flat for me again. Just like at the People's Choice Awards!

Angelina Jolie

Another boring dress for me.I like how the red sticks out at the top but the rest of the dress is too simple for me.

Freida Pinto

This dress is just so unflattering. It looks like they just cut a huge strip of fabric, wrapped it around her and then added the belt to keep it put. The bottom need to be form fitting!

Lea Michelle

I appreciate the effort but I just personally don't like it.

There are a few I left out just because I didn't want this post to be too long!

Fashion from the People's Choice Awards

Here are some of my favourite outfits from the People's Choice Awards last night:

I'm not a huge fan of the mesh but that waves are really cool!

I would say this is probably my favourite from the whole night. Love the gold lace over top.

This fits a little funny on her but I still think its a gorgeous dress. And Demi looks beautiful!

I'm usually not a huge fan of green but this is pretty nice. She should have worn her hair up though to show it off more.

Such a cool dress! It's kind of abstract in a way.

Love the gold and the empire waist. Second favourite of the night.

And least favourites:

Boring!

Nice panty line...



I just don't think this compliments her body... plus that necklace is horrible.

This is a joke... right?

Not horrible but it kind of just falls flat.

Audrey Kitching said it best... she looks like a leprechaun.

What were your favourite and least favourites?
