Grammys 2013

What: The 55th Annual Grammy Awards

Where: Staples Center, L.A

When: 10th February 2013 

The stars of the music scene were draped in their finest for the event, and rightly so for the biggest awards ceremony for the industry. It was a huge night for the rather unknown array of designers, which many names being dropped that most had never heard of! Here's a selection of the best!

Green Queens: Katy Perry in Gucci,  Solange Knowles in Ralph & Russo and Florence Welch in Givenchy

Women in Black: J-Lo in Anthony Vaccarello,  Kelly Rowland in Georges Chakra and Alicia Keys in Alaia

Allison Williams in Kaufmanfranco, Carly Rae Jepsen in Roberto Cavalli and Janelle Monae in Moschino

Stars of the Show:Adele in Valentino Couture, Beyonce in Osman Yousefzada and Taylor Swift in J Mendel

Brights: Karlie Kloss in Michael Kors, Alexa Chung in REDValentino and Nicole Kidman in Vera Wang

And my FAVOURITE dress of the night....

Rihanna in  Alaia!

Amongst the many performers of the night were Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z, with their new hit 'Suit and Tie'

and Elton John and Ed Sheeran, who did an incredible cover of Ed's song 'The A Team'! Cute!

Ed Sheeran

       As you all know, us ( Becca & Olivia) and a couple of our friends ( KT & Hannah) went to see the almighty ginger sex god, Ed Sheeran! Honestly, hands on our heart, it was by far one of the BEST concerts we've ever been to! We were even 2nd row from the front! How good is that!?

He started off with his new hit single, 'Give Me Love' which is the last song to be produced from his debut album,  +. He is absolutely amazing live and we are so glad we got to see him! 


   His set was a constant flow of beautiful melodies, many which sounded even BETTER live than on his EP's. He always had one of his four trusty guitars in tow, and was BEAT-BOXING ( once in a lifetime experience that is, mind).

  His support acts were Passenger ( our main man Mike ) and Foy Advance, who were both incredibly talented and surprisingly unsigned. You should definitely check them out! 

  My ( Becca ) favourite song of the night was most definitely one of his most popular hits ' You Need Me, I Don't Need You', which lasted a WHOPPING 12 minutes! And he didn't go a note out of tune, even when he was jumping on top of the speakers right next to us ( swoon..) !

  He even asked the audience to be remotely quiet for a couple of songs by saying "If you love me, you'll be quiet.", which made Olivia practically melt! This ensued a few "WE LOVE YOU ED!" shrieks (who, us...) but it was such an amazing experience to see the entire City Hall succumb to silence to just listen to his heavenly voice.

  Dressed in a modest cartoon 'Flipper' t-shirt and raggy jeans, he was far from a Nicki Minaj-style concert with all of the constant costume revamps and extravagant staging, it was simply just him, and a 'mirror wall', where you could see the gig from his point of view, which we thought was really cool, especially when everyone was waving their phone lights!

We were DEVASTATED when he walked off after his two hour set, as was everyone else. We did make buddies with his stage handy-man Trevor though. What a guy.

 Here's a quick view of what we wore to the gig, and also take a look at the videos! And we are NOT in    anyway singing superstars. Just putting it out there. :-)

What Becca wore:

Okay, so this picture is pretty terrible, but bear in mind it was 1am and I already had that post-concert depression feeling creeping up on me ( worst feeling EVER in my opinion). I wore this tartan dress ( in age 10-11 D:) from the kids section in New Look, which was only £12.99, which is a bargain, considering tartan is apparently going to be 'big' this season and my trusty old leather jacket which I've had for 5 years! (M&S, don't even remember!). I wore some black suede wedges ( also from New Look, £25.00) which I got as a Christmas present last year. 

Jewellery-wise, I wore my Ed Sheeran bracelets and a glow-stick band we all got off Olivia's mam! I also wore my swallow bird earrings ( River Island, £1.50 ) and my fave golden heart pendant ( Accessorize, £5.00 ).  

We all drew black 'Sheeran' paws on our hand in permanent marker, which turned out to be a pretty big mistake, as it didn't come off for four days!

From Left to Right : Hannah, Becca, Olivia & KT! Aw.

Our Ed inspired nail art! From clockwise top: Olivia, Hannah, Becca & KT!

What Olivia wore:

Hey guys! So, I got this outfit ESPECIALLY for the beautiful ginger sex god (wink ;-)) and it consisted of a sheer black dress from H&M with a pleather peter pan colar £29.99, my gorgeous denim jacket with fur lining from Top Shop £55 (expensive I know! You can probably find cheeper versions elsewhere so look around before you choose to buy!) my creeper style shoes from Top Shop which were originally a wopping £65 but I got them in the sale for £10! How good is that!? Last but not least, I wore my trusty gold buckle ring that I wear 

EVERYDAY! Never take it off :-) 

and my Ed Sheeran jewellry. (Rebecca got me one of these bracelets for my birthday last year so we are matching! How cute!?)

Here's some videos from the gig, which were taken on Becca's phone!

Love you all,

Trick or Treat!

Halloween 2012

 Kate Moss as a Vampiress, Gwen Stefani as Grease's Sandy, and Chloe Grace-Moretz as Harry Potter's Bellatrix Lestrange

Much to our disappointment, Halloween is dead and buried for another year, so it's time to put your inner ghoul to rest. 

Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj and her friend as a Toddlers & Tiaras paegant queen, and Robert Pattinson as....we're not really sure.

Despite this, we were more than impressed with the efforts put in by the famous faces. To my surprise, there weren't masses of 'sexy kittens' or clads of short-skirted pirates, but in fact many creative, and SCARILY good ideas! 

Ashley Tisdale as Batwoman, and Ashley Benson & Shay Mitchell as Tweedledee and Austin Powers' Foxxy Cleopatra

From Halloween parties, to trick or treating around their neighbourhood, these celebrities really went all out!

Elle Fanning as the Statue of Liberty, and P Diddy as Prince

Many starlets were attending infamous gossip blogger Just Jared's Halloween bash, who dressed as the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland (yes,really!).

 Featured are One Direction's Zayn Malik & Louis Tomlinson as Kiss band members, Jessica Alba, her husband Cash Warren and daughter Honor as The Incredibles, and the rather wonderful Ed Sheeran as horror film royalty, Chucky.

Lucy Hale as a magical unicorn, Kim Kardashian as the mermaid from Splash, and Sharon Osbourne as the Queen of Hearts.

Lauren Conrad as Mary Poppins, and Sarah Hyland as Spinelli from Recess!

My favourite costume is...

Katy Perry & friend as Jane Lane and Daria!

Dressing up as the stars of hit 90's MTV show, Daria, was totally original and they were INSTANTLY recognised when they attended a Halloween party in L.A. She is never one for shying away from dressing up anyway!

And another outfit that was particularly AMAZING was Ellen DeGeneres  as Sofia Vergara! She even cut a slit down the back, revealing a fake butt, referring back to Vergara's embarrasing dress-ripping incident at this year's Emmy Awards!

And here's my outfit! A last minute Minnie Mouse and my friend as Aria from Pretty Little Liars!

Hope you all had a HAUNTING HALLOWEEN!
