Soap Awards 2013 Best Dressed

Who knew that Jacqui McQueen could scrub up so well?! Claire Cooper who plays her was the star of the night in my eyes, not only for winning Best Actress (I Love Hollyoaks, and was so happy for her) but she looked amazing in this sheer panelled dress, the back was completely cut out, yet she still managed to look totally chic and elegant.

Jorgie Porter went for a Greek goddess meets superhero look, and it definitely worked. I love the gold belt and shoes, and her curly up-do is so pretty. No bag though... where is she keeping her phone?!

Nikki Sanderson looked lovely in this blush and silver coloured dress. Her toned down makeup and hair worked so well with the soft fabrics, and the contrast of the sequins is stunning. I think she proves that sequins can look classy.

Chelsea Halfpenny rocked an edgier look for the red carpet, with chunky black boots and a t-shirt dress, personally I really love this style, although maybe it's not your traditional red carpet look. 
Georgia May Foote also wore orange, but in a more glamorous style... to be honest, she could wear anything and look amazing in it though! I love how she's gone all out on her hair and makeup with a simple dress, this works really well.

How could I write a best dressed list and not include Michelle Keegan? She looked as beautiful as ever,  and her dress just made her look even prettier. I love how simple, delicate and girly is is, yet it really shows off her figure. I'm a big fan of her box clutch bag too.

Tina O'Brien looked gorgeous in this sequinned and feather dress, which was so glamorous it almost has a wedding dress look to it. The colour of the dress makes her tan look beautiful but most of all though, I love her Brigitte Bardot inspired hair and makeup, she looks amazing!

Although I'm not a big fan of Charley Webb's hair and makeup here (the makeup is way too harsh, and I think that plus the tight top knot makes her look quite old), I do love her outfit. I'm a big fan of matching two-pieces, be it this style, or shorts and a blazer etc... She's definitely got the figure to pull off this style, I just think softer makeup would have been a nice contract to the slightly gothic themed outfit.
I couldn't find a photo of Mandip Gill on her own, but I was blown away with how pretty she looked. A complete transformation from her image as Phoebe on Hollyoaks! I love the colour and style of her dress, and her fishtail plait is so pretty.

Lucy Dixon was brave to wear bright yellow, especially with her red hair, but she pulls it off so well, and looks really striking in it.
I'm a bit in love with the dress Scarlett Bowman wore, I love the colours in it, and I've definitely got my eye on this for my next night out. I really love how she's styled her hair too.

I wouldn't have expected to like any satin dresses, but I love these two. 
Jacqueline Jossa picked the prettiest peachy coral colour, and I love the neckline detailing on it.
Anna Shaffer went for a more subtle colour, and channeled Hollwood glamour with her hair and bold lip colour.

Printed Trousers & £5 Jeffrey Campbell Dupes

T-Shirt: H&M
Trousers: Primark
Shoes: tReds (direct link)

I'm not sure about you, but I'm really loving printed trousers at the moment. I think they're a really interesting statement piece for an outfit, and surprisingly, they're really flattering. I kind of expected big, bright flowers to make me look big, but I don't think they do, I think it's the opposite, and that can't be bad!
I think when you're wearing something this striking, you have to team it up with something plain, and this H&M tee is perfect to go with these. It has tiny flecks of colour running through the t-shirt, which makes it match really well with the trousers. I'm going to be wearing this outfit over and over again all summer long.

I'm a bit in love with these shoes too. They're an amazing dupe of Jeffery Campbell Foxy's and for the bargain price of £5, they're pretty amazing quality. I saw them on Islay's blog, and ordered them straight away. This style of heel is perfect for me, with the big platform, they make me really tall, but they're super comfy.

I'm going to get back to blogging on a daily basis by the weekend, I have lots of outfits and beauty posts planned, as well as some more videos. I posted a haul video on my YouTube channel today too, so check that out and subscribe if you haven't already.

What To Wear To The Casino

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-21at204308_zpsc9073634.png


I love going to the casino... not that I like to gamble (although I do enjoy a few spins on the roulette wheel), but I really enjoy the atmosphere, and the restaurants are usually amazing too.
I've been for random nights out just as a spur of the moment thing, and for birthdays and I always have a great time. The only thing I don't enjoy is deciding what to wear. I find the casino is a difficult place to dress for, you want to look dressed up, but at the same time you don't want to be too dressed up and look OTT, after all, you're going to be walking around a brightly lit room all night, not dancing in a dark nightclub.

I always think that midi dresses are a good choice for that kind of environment, event a dress that you would usually dress down can be dressed up with a big clutch and some heels. The above are some of my favourite choices, I've got my eye on the white New Look dress with black detailing... this would look amazing with the Zara inspired heels and the black transparent clutch bag. I also really love the nude dress from Internacionale, which would work really well with the nude and black heels and either of the envelope style clutch bags.
If you've never been to a casino before, I'd really recommend it, you can have a lovely meal and a fun time, and even win some money. Its much more exciting than playing the online slots or bingo! Just remember to gamble safely, set yourself a limit and stick to it. There's always beginners luck, and if all else fails... go for number 9!
