Orange British Academy Film Awards 2012

This year at the BAFTAs the main trend we saw were many plain, understated dresses in mostly nude or dull colours. On the opposite side of the scale another tend we also saw were solid brightly coloured dresses or shimmery metallic dresses. There was also no surprise at the number of black and white dresses we saw at the BAFTAs.

Shoe of the Week 1

Due to my obsession with shoes I have decided to feature my favourite shoe each week. So here is my first pair. This is a pair of Christian Dior heels with gorgeous embellishment and feather detail and is retailing for $1,100 at Neiman Marcus. If I could afford them I would have them shipped here to Durban immediately.
