Cannes 2014 Best and Worst Dresses

Every May the good and the great of the film world come to Cannes for a week of glamour, movies and yachts. There have gracing been a array of stars gracing France for the 11 day festival and they have brought some serious glamour with them. Here is a recap of the best and worst from the the famous festival. 

Jessica Chastain, she looks utterly amazing

Blake Lively in Chanel, she is a Goddess period

Cate Blanchett is doing no wrong when it comes to fashion and this is no exception

Lara Stone in Hot Pink, is super fun perfection

Uma Thurman in Yellow Versace, can  I get a what what, perfection

Jessica looks so classy and chic and that color on her, amazing

RHW is Pucci looks like a ray of fashionable ray of sunshine

Aishwarya Rai is one of my favorite people on the Cannes red carpet, this look is stunning from the Bollywood actress

Kendall Jenner looks so grown up and oh so chic, she is looking amazing these days

America Ferrera made a statement on the red carpet and has never looked better

Alessandra Ambrosio looked diving in her silver gown, what a dress

Worst

Sharon Stone, why, this is not a chic enough look for Cannes and honestly she  looks like a hot mess

Irina Shayk, what is this, this looks so tacky and cheap, just no

Usually Eva looks amazing but this is a no no, she has such a good record, why this dud choice

 

This is too high school prom queen, not Cannes, red carpet, I think this is too much and I think considering she is at the premiere of her film playing Grace Kelly, she should have tried a lot harder

Karlie Kloss in a Cannes catastrophe in this Valentino mess

Marion Cotillard wrong shoes mess up what could have been a chic and sleek look

 

Audrey Tautou is a woman who epitomizes French elegance, this is not it, this is a right disaster 

Why the Santa Barbara Shooting is proof of Rape Culture

I know this blog is usually light hearted stuff and not that serious but after last Saturdays shooting in Santa Barbara, it has really made think. Elliot Rodgers shot 7 people and stabbed 3 in a horrific spree that has shook the world, but what is even more sinister is his video retribution in which he said he would kill "every blond slut that ever rejected him" and that it was unfair that at 22 he was still a Virgin and had never kissed a girl.
He was confused on why so many rejected him because he had money and a nice life and he basically said that woman should be with him because of his nice financial situation.
This is pure rape culture ideology. He felt entitled to woman because of his lifestyle and he felt that he should be getting all this attention from females and not other guys. He questioned why on earth woman we're not flocking to him.
The video is so disturbing and the scary thing is, he made more. He made this video the day of the shooting and hours later, 10 we're dead. I am not saying all guys feel like this, but as a woman, the fact that some guys have this ideology, scares the hell out of me.
Woman from a young age are being told, it's up to you not to get raped and attacked, but when it comes to guys, it's always "boys will be boys". This is disgusting and a poisonous thought. Some men feel that a womans body is their right, no it is a privilege.
If you want a womans body and love, You work for it. This guy went on a rampage because no one wanted to sleep with him. It is 2014, how is the happening.
I can't tell you how many times I get nervous in a club, it's just a thing I have, I always have to have my guard up, I am not saying I am the hottest thing in a club, but guy's go out on the pull all the time and some will not take no for an answer.
We need to stop making woman into sexual objects and let men know that, if we want you, go for it, but if we don't want you , NO means NO and that like Elliot Rodgers, a womans body is not a God Given Right.

RIP to all the victims and my love to all their families xx

Kimye Wedding

It has happened, Kim and Kanye are now man and wife. The two married in Florence yesterday in a lavish ceremony that has had the whole world talking. Would Bey and Jay show up, would they get to married in Versailles and most importantly, who will the Bride be wearing. All was answered yesterday. While there has been no photo sharing of the wedding gowns, we did get a peak thats to a pap shot, of the Wedding dress and from the looks of it, it was stunning.
While Versailles was a no go, the pair did get to hold their rehearsal dinner there and the pair and guest were sung to by none other than Lana Del Rey, (standard)!
The Bride wore Givenchy to the ceremony, no surprise really given the couples friendship with main Givenchy Designer Riccardo Tisci.
He was among the guests who included, Andre Leon Talley, Balmain head designer Olivier Rousteing, Rachel Roy, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen and of course the Kardashian/ Jenner clan.
Noticeably absent was Beyonce and Jay Z and her the brides brother, Rob was left paris to head back to L.A after apparently getting Fed Up with all the excess of the occasion.

The first look at the Dress

The pair have been criticised since day one. Whether they are being called Tacky, Greedy  or obnoxious, not a day goes by that the haters don't give their opinion. Was it over the Top, Yes, is $400,000 on flowers crazy, Yes, did I expect this from them,  Yes, of course. These two like extravagnce, and the finer things in life. Let them be, it is their money, their taste and their choice, leave them be. Money is no object for these two and if they want to splash out for their big day, let them. Plenty of celebs have spent around the same on their wedding, but it's just not as talked about because they are not Kimye. Do you think David and Victoria penny pinched on their big day, or Donald Trump had an uber low key affair, hell no, they all went OTT on their big day and why not, I would.
Kimye are not said to be off on their honeymoon and apparently they are only a while away from me, because they have landed in Cork, that's right, they chose Ireland as their destination. Whether the weather is good to them or not is another story, but one thing is for sure. They will get peace here. The biggest stars in the world from Micheal Jackson, Brad Pitt and SJP have all holidayed here and they are left alone. Kimye have been bombarded by the press from day one, of course they want a chilled honeymoon away from paparazzi, they will get here. We just let people be here, I don't know why but we leave celebs alone and if they are here I hope they are having and ultra fabulous time.
Congrats to Kimye

The pair say I Do

Why Not, fabulous

Afrojack: Forget The World Album Review

It is finally here, after 15 years of making music one of my Top artists is finally releasing this album. I have been so excited for this album since the DJ used snapchats to send teasers of songs of his new album and I have been raving about this guy who since early last year. He has some amazing tunes and great collaborators on this album and with EDM being so hot right now, he's earning his place with the big boys.

1: 10 Feet Tall ft Wrabel: This song is so epic and is something that you can really lose yourself to. The vocals are amazing and I think its a great opener to the album

2: Illuminate ft Matthew Koma: Matthew Koma seems to be the go to guy for dance tracks at the moment. I love this song, it does not seem to be a dance track when you hear the verse but once the beat drops it is epic, The beat is unreal and is pure afrojack

3: Born to Run ft Tyler Glynn : This starts as a ballad and the vocals are good but the beat is epic and is less commercial than some of the beats on the album but it's a great track

4: Freedom ft D-Wayne: This is all dance music at the start of the song. The beginning is a little crap but when the beat drops it is unbelievable, amazing work, this would be Amazing in a club

5: The Spark ft Spree Wilson: This was the first single off the album and one of my songs of last year. It is just a fun uplifting song that makes me smile. The vocals suit the song so well and the beat is amazing, one of my top songs off the album.

6: Dynamite ft Snoop Dogg: This definitely has a hip hop influence to it but is does work. Snoop Dogg is on point as usual and the collaboration shows how Hip Hop & EDM mixing is possible

7: Too Wild ft Wiz Khalifa: This song is perfect for long cruises on the car. Wiz lazy style vocals do work but I am not overly impresses with this song

8: 3 Strikes ft Jack McManus: I am not impressed with the vocals with this song but the beat is great and real hardcore EDM. Afrojacks beats save this song really

9: Catch Tomorrow:  Sting doing EDM, yes really, the legend gives as good as any young artist, his vocals stand out as usual and the Beat is Epic, so fun and uplifting, these guys made a great song

10: We'll Be Ok ft Wrabel: I am not blown away by this song but the beat is still fun and uplifting

11: Mexico ft Shirazi: This was too forgettable for her, not a fan

12: Keep Our Love Alive ft Matthew Koma: A good song with the go to vocalist and the beat is another epic offering

13: Faded: This is pure EDM, hardcore stuff, fans will love it, passers by won't

14: As Your Friend ft Chris Brown: I loved this song. This came out last year and I am still obsessed with it, the two work so well together, it is a little different to the single version but it is still awesome.

Overall: The vocal verses are a little blah compared to the magic of the beats. Afrojack is amazing at what he does. I love most of the album, one or two were a bit eh, but overall it cements his place with the big boys of the EDM world and rightly so

Best Track: Illuminate

Billboard Music Awards 2014

Last Night, huge stars of the music world came out for the Billboard Music Awards. An array of stars graced the red carpet for a huge night and here is the fashion rundown

Carrie Underwood, I LOVE THIS, the detail, the colors, the beading, she looks perfect


Chrissy Teigen wore a really interesting monochrome dress. I like the unique structure of the dress and I love her new bangs


J Lo in Donna Karan, perfection, how is she 44, it's just not natural


Kendall Jenner, WOW, the model looks so hot here. I love the outfit, amazing


Cher Lloyd wore a purple dress. She looks really good here, I really like this color on her, the one thing I would say is that I am not a huge fan of high neck dresses in general


Kylie Jenner looked slick in this tight white dress, it's simple but hot, I am not crazy about the shoes thought, but I love the dress with the fun green hair


Miranda Lambert looked unreal in a neon pink, her body looks amazing and the deep plunge and the sheer looks great, not the right shoes though


Iggy Azalea, This woman is so hot and has an Unbelievable body, why cover up so much., this is a nice dress but you are young and hot, why so serious, but her hair and make up looks great

  
Sarah Hyland looks young fresh and chic in her amazing Pucci outfit, I love this so much, it's hot but still classy, amazing choice


Lucy Hale is a multicolored masterpiece. I love the brights on the actress and the lace is so summery. However the one thing I will say is that I am not sure the length works that well on her as she is so petite


Nicki Minaj in Alexander McQueen is a seriously sexy sight. She looks so hot in this dress however the girls are doing their best to get out of there


Shakira, sexy as, what's new, love this dress on her, so fabulous


Jordan Sparks looked amazing in this dress, it shows off her body perfectly but I am not loving the hair, ruins the look for me


Shania Twain, still got it, she looks great in her simple black dress here and the hair is Divine!


Danica McKellar showed her toned body in a very daring cut out dress and looks amazing

Queen B & Jay Z: Trouble in Hip Hop Paradise?

Now we have all seen the footage of Solange going cray cray at Jay Z in an elevator after the Met Ball (bet Anna Wintour loves that!) the sub gramming on insta has fuelled speculation that all was not well between the first couple of music.
In the video Beyonce doesn't really do much to stop the fight and got into the car with her sister leaving Jay to catch another car. Solange then decided to delete nearly all photos of her and B on insta and beyonce chilled with Jay at a basketball game when after the footage came out.
Now B treated us to a array of photos of her and her sister on instagram which makes us question things even more now. Who's good, bad and WHAT did Jay do to get that sort of attack!
Sub gramming is in my opinion, a way to speak much louder than sub tweeting.
 This is a way to either diffuse speculation but I am not buying it.
I don't believe any woman would let their sister attack their husband in the violent way that Solage did unless they did something major, I mean HUGE!
There also released the following statement which solves nothing
As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.
There are rumors it's because Jay cheated, which I highly doubt, that he was going to go to Rihannas party without Beyonce, which he should be able to do, and that he has promised to help with Solange music career which is has not done and that's why there is no buzz about her music and that she is sick of playing second best to Bey. Come on now honey, you will never be on top like Beyonce, you will never have her career, she is a mega superstar, pick something a bit more attainable!
We will never really know the details of their private lives and why this occured, nor should we, but I hope this does not spell the end for the couple because they really do seem Drunk in Love with each other, they are the King & Queen of Modern Showbiz and I hope Solange sorts out whatever issues she has.
