Met Gala 2012.

From simple sleek styles to long embellished trains fashion craft was at it's peak at last nights Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka: the MET Ball) celebrities,designers, musicians, actors all put on their 'Sunday Best'. Some of the dresses left me in awe, whereas some well lets just say I kept asking myself  'What were they thinking ? 

Solange as usual was wearing something unsuprisingly eye-catching garment. Last night she appeared at the gala on the arm of designer Rachel Roy. What a coincidence - I had just recently blogged about peplums and look at what Solange is wearing ! She wore the hottest trend of Spring 2012 in such a sophisticated and elegant manor.  The dress fitted her to the T, showing her womanly figure in the best way possible.
She matched the bright yellow dress with a tribal style cuff, a glittery gold clutch and gold rings.
I love it, not everyone could have pulled off this look but Solange rocked it well. 

Anyone who knows me well knows how much I love Rihanna. So of course her outfit was the one I most wanted to see & if I'm honest I was left thinking 'Oh is that it'. Even though the dress is a stunning creation by Tom Ford the crocodile like skin detailing is amazing along with the sexy cut out back. BUT I was expecting something more WOW from Rihanna. I do like the outfit but I definitely expected more from Rihanna. Simple is not something I often associate with Rihanna.

My favourite looks of the night

Peplums.

Hiya guys, I'm actually ashamed that I haven't blogged in ages but life's been hectic atm & I don't have time for anything - not even sleep literally lol. Anyway enough of my excuses, let's talk fashion :D.

Who would have thought it eh ?! A 90's revival of Peplums. They have surfaced as on the top Spring 2012 trends. Every high street store, on every red carpet & in every magazine you'll see the current trend of peplums. This silloutte hugging must have can instantly making your waist look inches smaller. Hearing Peplums & you probably almost instantly think dresses, well you're wrong peplums are available in skirts, tops, jackets as well as dresses. This makes the trend accessible to everyone of all ages & body types. It does not get any better than that.

The thing I love most about this trend is the fact that not all peplums are the same, there are various styles that appeal to different people. 

I for one love it!
