Farfetch - Cocktails in Wonderland

The holiday season is upon us, and while I still can't believe how this year simply flew by, I'm so excited about all the upcoming Christmas and New Year parties.

Of course, this begs the question of what to wear for the party season. Farfetch seems to have the perfect dresses for every occasion, and unquestionably every style. From McQueen's frills to Saint Laurent's dreamy dresses.

Watching 'Memoris' Pass By...

How many times have you had a trip down memory lane wishing you could stop time? How many times have you stared down your watch wishing you could make it stop for a while? Definitely not the case if you're wearing this watch!

With extreme level of dedication and passion, skilled craftsmen at Louis Moinet unveiled the beautiful and luxurious Memoris watch. In honour of the memory of its founder, and to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the chronograph, whose original inventor was Louis Monet himself, the brand has launched this timepiece that is not only a piece of art, but it also makes watching time pass seem so pleasurable.

The brand has taken a rather unusual approach this time. For the first time in history, the chronograph function has been shifted to the dial, making it the heart of the watch. The 'Energie Plus' automatic winding system allows the piece to be wound in both directions, while minimising travel and offering unrivalled precision.

This piece of art that has already taken Baselworld 2015 by storm is crafted in 18K pink gold, 18K white gold rhodium-plated mainplate and 18K white gold-blued mainplate. With uniqueness as key, the Memoris is released in 3 limited editions of just 60 exquisite timepieces each.

It comes as no surprise that the Memoris has already been nominated for the infamous and prestigious Grand Prix d'Horlogerie of Geneva. Honouring its heritage and embodying its creative future, Louis Moinet has created an impeccable timepiece that is the true definition of exquisiteness.

Gucci Spring-Summer 2016

Gucci's Spring-Summer 2016 collection was a continuation of Alessandro Michele's passion for sensual lacy dresses, pussy bow blouses and tasseled loafers.

The collection featured sheer panels, floral prints and filmy shirts of the collection that maintained the soft and delicate aesthetic unveiled by Michele back in March in the Autumn/Winter 2015-16 collection. This year, the show also had a new bold, adventurous attitude. Maps formed the basis for large, silky motifs splashed across swishy midi dresses and pleated skirts, evoking an intrepid mood.

Oscars 2015 - The Fashion

I know this might be a little late, but I've been recovering from my very intense movie marathon before the Oscars. Some really great movies this year! My personal favorites were Whiplash, The Imitation Game and of course Birdman. You can tell I was so excited and happy that it won so many awards.

I love the Oscars! I barely watch TV but this is probably one of my absolute favorite things to watch. The anticipation and excitement are so great I was counting down the days before the awards show. And of course there's my favorite part.. the red carpet fashion!

So here are my favorites from this year's red carpet :) Which one was your favorite?
