Awards Season is here (woohoo!) and we LOVE IT. With the Golden Globes tonight and The Brits, The Grammys and The Oscars in February, we can't wait to see all the starlets flaunting their designer gowns down the red carpet! 

Expect full coverage on the fashion side right here! Here's a selection of dresses from the People's Choice Awards from Wednesday night, which allows the public to fully decide who wins each award- and there was over 50 of them! 

The odds were most definitely in Jennifer Lawrence's favour, as she took home 6 awards, and 'Hot or Cold' singer Katy Perry received 4! 

What do you think of the selection of gowns?

Olivia Munn in Carolina Herrera, Jennifer Lawrence in Valentino Couture & Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang and Jimmy Choos.

Shay Mitchell in Giorgio Armani and Jimmy Choos, Lea Michele in Elie Saab & Ashley Rickards in an embellished nude gown.

Katy Perry in Valentino and Jimmy Choos, Julianne Hough wore a Tony Ward Couture dress and Giuseppi Zanotti heels and Jennifer Aniston in Dior and Tom Ford heels.

Chloe-Grace Moretz in a Simon Rocha dress and Casedai heels, socialite Paris Hilton wore a daring print dress and Rachel Leigh Cook wore a beautiful Oliver Tarentino dress.

Emma Watson in a Peter Piloto dress and Tabitha Simmons heels, hostess Kaley Cuoco in one of the five dresses she wore that night and Morena Backerin in Donna Karan


The most surprising look of the night was newly-single Taylor Swift, who rocked up in a deep v-neck Ralph Lauren Collection dress and Louboutin heels. Look what you're missing, Harry!




Can't wait for the next awards show!

Rizzle Kicks!

        Rizzle Kicks

Sorry for the rather late update as we've been rather busy, but on Saturday 1st December, we went to see... Rizzle Kicks! Apart from being squished within an inch  of other so-called 'ravers' in the middle of a mosh-pit, and being covered in not the nicest of substances, it was one of the wildest, loudest and funniest concerts we've ever been to! 













We had spent the first part of the day in Newcastle, dressing up in Topshop and going for a Chinese ( don't eat banana pancakes ) and Starbucks. We queued outside, being the dedicated fans we are, and managed to squeeze our way to the front of the stage, without being trampled on! Harley and Jordan looked as beautiful as ever, and played all of the songs from their album, plus some of their remixes, including their duet with Ed Sheeran! That made us HAPPY. 









Supporting them was Little Nikki, who used to be in UK band Soundgirl, who I seen when they supported Pixie Lott in 2010. She is now a solo singer/rapper and you should DEFINITELY check her out! She wore a bodycon skeleton dress, which is from Topshop for £50. 

Their other support act was upcoming rapper Mikill Pane (pronounced Michael...but we're gonna call him Mikill ). He is destined to be big, and was even drinking on stage! We got  lucky and met him outside after the gig, and got his autograph on the back of our tickets! Wowza! We don't have any proper pictures of our outfits, but we do have our sassy pictures in Topshop :-)

Here's the videos (they most definitely aren't perfect!)

This one's not ours! Mikill Pane:

After the concert, we had a sleepover at Olivia's, and had cheesy nachos for our breakfast and went on Take That and High School Musical Sing Star. Righteous. We couldn't take any pictures because I had a Mikill Pane tattoo in the middle of my forehead. Not righteous. 

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the videos and we'll talk to you later!

Love you all, 

  R & O xo.

The Pointe Is

Ballet

"You don't have to know about ballet to enjoy it, all you have to do is look at it" 

- Edwin Denby

Yesterday, I attended a ballet class with two friends at the COOLEST place on Earth, Dance City. There were break dancing competitions in the reception, jazz dancers kicking down the banisters, it was like a scene from Fame!

 I hadn't attended a proper ballet class since I was around 6 ( take a look, there's me, second row and third from the right!) and I was pretty nervous that I'd have forgotten EVERYTHING.

My worries soon vanished after the OAP guy in full-on lycra walked in ( that happened! ), and it was generally just good to get back into something I used to love so much. Whilst I was there, I noticed all of the luxurious costumes the dancers were wearing, including ruffled tulle tutus, beaded bodices, delicate silk slippers and flowing ribbons.

It made me think that a lot of high-fashion designers creations are rather similar to those worn by these ballet dancers. Just look at recent catwalks from the likes of Chloe', Sherri Hill, Alexander McQueen and especially Marchesa, the reigning brand of elegant gowns and dresses. Back in September this year, Valentino hosted an amazing event for New York City's Ballet Gala, where he designed a mass of beautiful dresses for the performing ballerinas, which gained a lot of media attention for the polished dance style.

Vogue Russia have previously devoted an entire editorial shoot to the refined art of ballet, and they even feature in Kanye West's music video, Runaway. And who could forget big-time controversial movie, Black Swan, which thrust ballerinas into a completely new light.

    So, do you think designers are inspired by the graceful entity of ballet, the silhouettes, costumes and chic yet sophisticated manner? 

Here's a picture of my little brother and I at the NYC Ballet in January 2011!

P.S. My ballet inspired outfit!
