2015 Golden Globe Awards - Best Dressed

Award season officially kicked off last night with the first of the big ceremonies- The 72nd Golden Globe Awards and with that brings plenty of celebrities bringing their A-game to the red carpet.

I've mentioned on here before, how much I love award-season and I always like to watch Live from the red carpet on TV to get the first glimpse of what everyone has chosen to wear and which designer.

This year wasn't the most spectacular year for red-carpet looks, nothing really stood out as a 'wow' look, especially nothing as 'wow' as Lupita Nyong'o at last years ceremony, wearing that stunning red Ralph Lauren caped-gown. Of course, there were quite a few that I liked including looks from Diane Kruger, Jessica Chastain, Julianne Moore, but my absolute favourite was Emma Stone's look. She wore a custom Lanvin jumpsuit with embellished bodice and a pretty floor-length bow draped from the waist. I just loved the choice of a statement jumpsuit, which stood out from all the dresses and gowns and as a girl myself who would choose a great pair of trousers or a jumpsuit over a dress anytime, Emma definitely got my best dressed of the evening.

Here's my other best-dressed favourites from last nights Golden Globes Awards -

Emma Stone in custom Lanvin with Christian Louboutin shoes.

Diane Kruger in Emilia Wickstead with Marina B & Kwiat jewels and an Emm Kuo clutch.

Julianne Moore in Givenchy Haute Couture with Chopard jewels.

Helen Mirren in Dolce & Gabbana with Chopard jewels.

Jessica Chastain in Atelier Versace with Piaget jewels.

Reese Witherspoon in Calvin Klein Collection.

Leslie Mann in Kaufmanfranco with Kimberly McDonald jewels and a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.

Gina Rodriguez in Badgley Mischka with Chopard jewels.

Felicity Jones in Dior Haute Couture with Van Cleef & Arpels jewels.

Taylor Schilling in custom Ralph Lauren with a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.

CHANEL Cruise'15 Handbag Collection

It's 2015 and I need something great to kick things off, so why not look to one of the most iconic, classic fashion houses for my first post of the new year? Where do I turn, only Chanel and their Cruise'15 handbag collection for a little bag porn.

Cruise'15 sees a mixture of textures from denim, tweed & braided leather to metallic and fringing. With a mixture like that, there is sure to be something to suit the tastes of all Chanel fans.

The 'Boy' flap bag is featured of course and although it remains on my wish-list I have to admit I definitely prefer it in the small size, the larger sizes look too boxy for my liking. Saying that, if I was handed any size 'Boy' flap bag for free, I wouldn't say no, but when the day comes that I buy one for myself then I will be going straight for the small 'Boy' flap bag, it's much neater and practical.

Here's my picks from the Chanel Cruise'15 handbag collection -
