ZARA New S/S'15 Collection

So, it's been a while since I last did a shopping feature from ZARA and I figured it's a good time to get back to it with their new S/S collection. Each week they are adding more to this new collection, but I thought I'd pick out some of my favourites from what's on offer at the moment.

There is quite a lot of black featured, which is good news to me when it's my favourite colour to wear, but also there is quite a few of the classic and timeless combination of black and white/cream.

One of my favourite picks being a long cream cardigan with black stripes which has an Isabel Marant vibe (at a fraction of the designer price) and is going straight on my S/S wish-list. Another favourite of mine is the taupe 'Collarless double-sided coat', which would be the perfect coat to make any outfit go from plain to effortlessly stylish. The 'Leather roman sandals' are also on my wish-list for Summer, as they instantly made me think of the roman-style sandals by Chloe for S/S'15 and also the 'Ankle-strap flats' have strong similarities to the Kid Suede Slippers from CHANEL's Cruise 14/15 collection.

So, there are plenty of designer elements from ZARA'S new collection, which in my opinion is a great way to get the designer look at a fraction of the price and why ZARA is definitely my favourite store, but then you guys already knew that!

Lets get to it then, here's my picks from the S/S'15 Collection at ZARA...

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 -
