My most inspirational female celebrity..

OPRAH WINFREY

When I initially thought about what female celebrity inspired me the most the two women that came to mind were Oprah Winfrey and Angelina Jolie but after considering the effect Oprah had/ or has on many people around the world (not just myself) I just knew that this woman was and still is a very influential character.

Brief summary of Oprah (Just incase you may not know)

- Born January 29, 1954 (age 59)
-American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer & philanthropist. Best known for her winning talk show 'The Oprah Winfrey Show', which is viewed by many.
-Ranked richest African-American in the 20th century.
- Called "one of the most influential people in the world" by TIME.







For me, Oprah Winfrey inspires me for many reasons however, the main thing that has a big impact on me is how she has always considered the sacrifice of the men and women in the civil rights movement. Setting up many different charities and foundations for the less fortunate women and children and also striving to help others, these points and many more are the reasons why Oprah Winfrey is an inspiration for me.

This post was a little task for one of my modules at uni, also a brief insight about my inspiration.. thanks again for reading & feel free to share & comment :)

Grammy Awards 2014 Red Carpet (Best Dressed)

Evening everyone :)

So as you all probably know the 56th Grammy Awards were shown live yesterday (Well in America lol) but I managed to watch a bit of it online and of course I paid most of my attention to what the celebrities wore..
Some very unusual outfits I must say but hey, you always need a good laugh sometimes haha.

TOP 3 BEST DRESSED
So for me I have say the best dressed female was Ciara, she just looked absolutely stunning with her bump in a long-sleeved dress by Emilio Pucci, she most definitely worked it well!

Secondly, is Beyonce I believe as usual she looked gorgeous in a white lace gown by Michael Costello (however her hair did not match the beauty of the dress), this dress was a lovely fit on her and expressed her elegance.

And Finally, Taylor Swift who is the last of my top three looked just as beautiful as usual in a lovely yet simple dress by Gucci, I think this dress was so right for Taylor as it was'nt too much or too little.

So, that's all for now.. these are just the 3 main celeb's that caught my eye however there were a few males who looked good too such as, Robin Thicke & John Legend.

Thanks for reading guys, feel free to comment below with your opinions I always love to know what people think :)

Happy New Year All!
As this is my first post of the new year, I thought I'd do a 2in1 and put an ootd and a mini haul together :)
OOTD!
So yesterday, I came back to uni after the Christmas break (well not really a 'break' as I was doing coursework & revision) and I put this outfit together...


Here I put this vintage shirt I bought a while ago from a stall in Coventry, only for £5, I know AMAZING!!! Ha, can't say no to a good bargain.. paired with Topshop Joni jeans which I absolutely love!

MINI HAUL!

Now, on to the mini haul.. as you should all know January sales just started and of course I had to treat myself :) So I went shopping and got a few bits..
