The SAG Awards 2015 : My Top 5

Now I wasn't going to have a post going up today but for the last 12 hours I've been on my phone staring and admiring the mass of gorgeous gowns, on point outfits, fabulous up-dos and perfected make-up looks from this years SAG (Screen Actors Guild) awards.

So I thought it would be fun to share my favourites - so here we are my top 5 ladies!

Sarah Hyland

The Modern Family actress looked totally and utterly stunning in my opinion! This dress is beautiful, the fit, the back, the embellishment -the list goes on, I wish I could wear something like this! I love her lighter hair - the up-do is perfect to showcase the dress's detailing and the statement earrings and nude lip finish off the look seamlessly. (plus those eyebrows are on point.)

Jennifer Aniston

My love for this woman has grown and grown over the last few months. Yes I've always been a fan but after watching Friends for hours on end recently my love for Jen has been rekindled - and more than ever. This woman is 45 (I think) - seriously though.... 45! She is god damn awesome - I mean look at that cleavage! Her hair is effortlessly perfect and there isn't a hint of a wrinkle anyway!

Emma Stone

It wouldn't be an awards show favourite list without my main girl - Emma Stone! In my eyes she can do no wrong, from head to toe she is perfection. Yes it isn't your usual award show gown but, for me, it just works .... maybe because I love her so much? I'm not sure! But I think she looks fab! The red lip brings the glam and the earrings bring the edge, now.... a round of applause for the Stone once again please everyone!

Sofia Veraga

And the bombshell award goes too................

Like my Mum said to me the other day - this woman has the most incredible body ever. Total Hollywood glitz and glam, with a bit of boob! The red is bold and looks gorgeous, I honestly think she is every man's dream! The make-up is simple and she is literally glowing!

Sophie Turner

Last but not least is this Game Of Thrones beauty! I think it's between Sophie and Sarah for my overall favourite look of the night! I am obsessed with this whole ensemble - the hair, the dress, those shoes - I would wear this on my next night out if I could!

(I also LOVED Maisie Williams' look too - love how she can look so different from her on-screen character!)

Kirstie's Movie Recommendations #1

I've been thinking about doing a post like this for a little while! It's not beauty or fashion related but more or less everyone loves a good movie and I'm a major movie lover and cinema addict!

I have a major passion for films and always have done since I was a kid so I thought why not share with you a few favs of mine and maybe introduce you to some new titles that you may never heard of ..... or we can just completely bond over the love certain films!

FYI.. I obviously won't be including any spoilers here and if this is a hit I'll be doing more... as my list of favourite movie's is endless!

1. Heartbreakers

A movie which I always recommend to my friends - such a fun and hilarious chick flick from 2001 about a mother and daughter con artist duo! If you love comedys and a good con artist movie you will love this! Max (Sigourney Weaver)  marries rich men and then gets her daughter Page (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to seduce them somehow - catching them in the act and reaping huge divorce settlements in the process! They decided to one do one last sting and head to Palm Beach Florida in search of the richest man they can find!
I seriously love this movie - too me it never gets old! Warning : You will get serious body envy of JLH.

2. A Little Princess
One of those movies that makes me cry every.single.time. Yes this is a "kids" movie but I think anyone can enjoy this. Rich little Sara is sent from her home in India to a boarding school in New York when her Dad is called to war. When her father is pronouced missing and Sara's tutuion money stops the strict head of the school Miss. Minchin turns the tables on Sara and she is banished to live with the help.
Honestly one of my favourite movies which will makes you both beam ear to ear and cry your little eyes out, go and watch it now!

3. She's All That
A total early 00s classic, I think I watched this on repeat as a 13 year old! I loved this era of teen movie's as I'm sure if you did too if you are around my age! Zack the future prom king and total heartthrob of the school is dumped by the most popular (and bitchy) girl - Taylor Vaughn and therefore heartbroken/pissed.  Zack then bets his best friend Dean that he can take any girl and turn her into a potential prom queen, Dean chooses  Laney Boggs a totally unpopular, art freak who couldn't care less about being in the spotlight. 
I seriously love his film, I think I can probably speak it word for word...... "I wanna be like Mike."! (p.s. look out for Usher!)

4. The Help
One of my favourite movie's of all time - I feel like I could watch this and then when it finishes watch it again straight after. This best selling book is bought to life by an incredible cast of some of my favourite actress' including the awesome Emma Stone! Set in the south of the US in the 60s this book is all about the life of the upper class and their black maids aka The Help. This movie is both heartbreaking and hilarious - I don't want to say anymore about it as I just think you should go and watch it now!

5. Drop Dead Gorgeous

Lastly we've got Drop Dead Gorgeous! With a cast of faces you are bound to recognise (including Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Brittany Murphy and Amy Adams) this movie focuses on the Mount Rose teen beauty pageant and the process the girls go through in their bid to winning and getting through to the national competition.
Filmed like a documentary this movie is hilarious and shows that some people will do anything to win, with lots of twists you probably won't be expecting this was permantly in my video player for months as a teenager!

So then..... have you seen any of these? You must have right? If not then get to Netflix, Amazon or HMV right now and have a watch! 

Please let me know if you enjoy this sort of post and I will carry on and share more of my recommendations with you - maybe even TV series and books too, what do you want to see?
