THURSDAY THOUGHTS: Jennifer Lawrence Oscars 2014

Heart shaped necklines, sharp pointed shoulders and pinched waistlines that spiral out into a waterfall of tule like a rosebud in bloom. Christian Dior - Haute Couture.

There was something truly magnificent, something astoundingly beautiful that made my heart crave at the classic silhouette of Dior when I saw Jennifer Lawrence step out at the Oscars in a magnificent vividly red number. While slightly more toned down on the sweetness and sugar of the pearly Dior she wore when she glided down the carpet last year, this new red one reaffirmed my love for Dior.

While Audrey Hepburn's iconic look was predominantly Givenchy, Lawrence's dress reminded me of something Hepburn wore when she did step out in Dior; elegance, class and sheer femininity. Something incredibly 50s.

With the kaleidoscope of colour, pattern and ambiguity that designers like Prada and Gucci are presenting through their representatives at the Oscars, I find something so simply beautiful through the classic mono-coloured dress.

Thoughts?

THURSDAYS THOUGHTS: Radiant Orchid

As we bid 2013 our final goodbyes and officially start to allow the 2014 reality to sink in, Pantone has declared the brand new colour of the year, and while I'm surprised it's not the cobalt blue I'd so adamantly anticipated, this new colour has evoked a whirl wind of elatedness in the fashion industry, and I'm pleased to say that I love it already.

Inspiring confidence, poise and independence, a girlish combination of sweet fuchsia, lavender and puce, the colour is just as gorgeous and unique as the captivatingly beautiful, delicately scented flower. Innocent and pretty, the colour also hints at an underlying sophisticated and intelligent aura, a perfect combination for the wearer.

Make a stunning statement with a radiant orchid coloured purse, nails or shoes to easily femininise any outfit. While the colour is simply beautiful, I urge you not to go overuse the colourfor it will become too overwhelming and it will lose the simplistic charm and beauty about it. You can't have too much of a good thing, can you?

What are your thoughts on the colour? Yay? Or nay?
