Oscars 2012

Here's my favourite dresses of the night!

4. Angelina Jolie

That flash of white leg against the black is gorgeous, and then the Atelier Versace dress itself, whilst black is still really interesting in it's cut. Although I do agree with the people who say she's looking a little thin. I mean, look at all that extra material around the hips, and she still doesn't look fat?!

3. Jessica Chastain

I love me some Alexander McQueen and this dress is no exception. Jessica Chastain wears it well, especially with her colouring. Absolutely stunning!

2. Cameron Diaz

Ok it was a toss up for numbers 1 and 2 but in at number 2 is Cameron Diaz. Whilst her first gown , from Gucci, is pretty, her second Orange Victoria Beckham gown is amazing! Her amazing body certainly helps, but I love the colour on her, how simple it looks from the front and the zip detail and straps from the back.

1. Gwyneth Paltrow

I'm probably going with the crowd on this one but the moment I saw this dress I knew it would be my favourite. I'm loving cape dresses myself at the moment (have since I bought my first last summer) and this one is the best out there! Tom Ford certainly knows how to dress the ladies! I also like that Gwyneth did something a little different with her hair this time, as she often wears it down and very straight.

So do you agree? Did I miss anyone out? Let me know below!

One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.

I feel the need for a new tattoo. I want one on my wrist and I've wanted a swallow tattoo for ages as I love the history behind them. So I'm thinking a swallow on my wrist. But still not sure. I often take a long time before I definitely decide to get a new tattoo. I currently have four and don't regret a single one! Here are some cute tattoo pictures. I wouldn't get colour though. It's just a personal choice but I don't think colour tattoos would suit me.

        


Although I may get some text...hmmm....I also want a tattoo on the upper part of my forearm like this



And I also want one on the inside of my bicep like this



Due to living in Japan though tattoos are a definite taboo, especially as I'm a teacher. Most of my kids have spied my lower back tattoo due to reaching up for the screen but I try to hide them as much as possible so a wrist tattoo might be a bit much! Ah we'll have to see. Once the idea of a new tattoo gets a hold of me I really can't let it go!
