We Love....Ginnifer!

Style Crush♥

 Ginnifer Goodwin, or Jennifer, if you're fussy, is a 34 year old TV and film actress from America.


 She was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and vastly gained an interest in media and the arts, due to her father, who owned & operated a recording studio.

She has featured in popular movies such as Ramona & Beezus and He's Just Not That Into You, but received her big break in HBO's Big Love.

 Although I can't remember when I originally heard of her, Ginnifer has always garnered my attention for her striking features and crazyily good dress sense.

 She has featured in a GAP Fall Campaign in 2008, been awarded MaxMara's One to Watch, and even adopted a flock of turkeys in 2009. Our kind of girl.

 You could say that Ginnifer's style was minimalistic, with a cutting edge twist that portrays her unique personality. If she was wearing the simplest black dress, she would add something completely unexpected ( have you SEEN that Gucci dress below!?).

Ginnifer always reminds me of a pixie or a fairy, with her sweet facial features, hairstyle and name ( I don't really know why, I think it's something to do with the Wizard of Oz... Glinda/Ginnifer hahaha ) and she brings this out with her natural and basic make-up. Lusted after for her clear, dewy skin, Ginnifer makes the most of this by not adding as much contouring make-up onto her skin, and focusing on making her eyes the more prominent feature.



 I think that Ginnifer brings something fresh to the celebrity scene, and isn't one to follow trends straight from the catwalk. She is a true fashion risk taker, and ALWAYS impresses on the red carpet!

Here are some of my Ginnifer inspired outfits!

Children in Need 2012

On Friday 16th November, it was BBC's Children in Need Day!

Children in Need is a UK charity, founded by the BBC, which originally began in 1980.

It raises MILLIONS and MILLIONS every year to aid disadvantaged and ill children, and, in total, has raised an unbelievable

£600million

in the past 32 years!

At our school, we had a non-uniform day to raise money, where every student has to bring in £1 as a donation, which already brings the total to over £1000!

I made some crispy cakes with my brother to sell at my dad's work and raised £11.20 (every little helps!).

Pudsey Bear is the leading mascot for Children in Need, and is always emblazoned on all of the fundraising merchandise and promotions. He had quite a transformation in 2007, when the old logo, used from 1986 to 2006, was abolished to make way for the current logo, a brighter, more computerized bear. Sorry, old Pudsey!

                             Here's Olivia, me (ew haha) and our friend Hannah on CIN Day

Not to mention, 32 of the most recognised fashion designers of the WORLD ( think Prada, Louis Vuitton & Gucci..EEP!) teamed together to help raise money for Children in Need by individually creating their own interpretation of Pudsey! Stitched in leather, Swarovzki crystals and patterned velvet, these bears are so stylish, it hurts. My favourites were definitely the Victoria Beckham, Alexander McQueen and LOEWE bears! Too cute!  Plus, 19 of the bears raised over £152,000! 

As if it could GET any better, here's a clip of the rather wonderful One Direction singing their new single, Little Things, on Children in Need!

Hope you raised LOTS for the SPOTS!
