Teen Choice Awards Style Winners

Vanessa Hudgens Teen Choice AwardsHooray for awards ceremonies! They mean lots of gorgeous peeps in delicious dresses on the red carpet and last nights Teen Choice Awards in LA was no different. With a guest list similar to the MTV Movie Awards earlier in the year, Hollywood’s bright young things showed us how it’s done.

No-one more so than the pretty and stylish Vanessa Hudgens in this gorgeous and slightly-modified-from-the-catwalk, Christian Dior gown. Yet again she scores top marks for a colour that looks fabulous on her and giving her hair just the right amount of laid back chic. I even like the nearly-matchy suede pumps as they work well with this beautiful designer dress.

Trend Alert – Chained Belts

Trend Alert Chain Belts I reckon this mini-trend pretty much speaks for itself. Whether you choose silver or gold to adorn your belt, you’re going to give an on-trend statement to an outfit by adding a chain-detail belt. I reckon these belts would work equally well with both pretty floral dresses or colour block tops. I couldn’t resist the Karen Millen one, (top left). You can just about see from this pic that there are 4 adustable buckles on it. It means that I can either wear it to cinch in the waist of an outfit on the smallest setting; or loosely on the hips for a more laid back look on the largest. I always have that dilemma when buying a belt; whether to go for the waist or hip size. This belt gives you both sizes! Whoop!

Clockwise from top left: Leather and metalwork belt €85 Karen Millen. Black elastic multi-chain belt £18 Miss Selfridge. Stud and chain belt £22 Topshop. Panther and chain stretch belt £28 Urban Outfitters. Black and gold belt €198 McQ by Alexander McQueen at my-wardrobe.com

Dublin’s Fashion Breakthrough

Fashion BreakthroughMonday August 17th sees the opening of a ‘pop-up’ boutique in the painfully trendy area of Cow’s Lane, Temple Bar. For the following 6 days we will be able to browse and buy “some of Ireland’s most cutting-edge collections” for AW09. I don’t really know too much about Fashion Breakthrough who are running the event but of themselves they say the: ” The purpose of the project is to keep young designers connected, to provide a high profile showcase for some outstanding work and to promote sustainable Irish Fashion”. In any case, any event that intends to promote emerging fashion design has to be worth a shout out.

The 6 day fashion event promises to “stage an Uprising” as it showcases the talents of 13 “fashion creators”. It all starts on Monday with the opening of the ‘pop-up’ boutique at 4 Pudding Row, Cow’s Lane, Temple Bar. The Fashion Breakthrough peeps are saying of the boutique that “you’ll find unparalleled variety and unique pieces from our up-and-coming Irish designers who will themselves be on-hand right through to Saturday to offer personal consultations and expertise”.

On Tuesday from 7pm there will be a catwalk show held in a marquee in Meeting House Square, featuring “inspiring ensembles by the top names to watch in Irish couture”. Some of the designers that will be showing their collections include, Zoe Boomer, Sophie Rieu, Bebhinn Flood, Heidi Higgins, Deirdre Harte, Lisa Shawgi and Sinead Doyle among others. It all sounds pretty darn great, plus there will be music and refreshments throughout the evening. Tickets are priced at €15 each and are available from Temple Bar Cultural Centre or www.tickets.ie. See an interview with organiser Lisa Shawgi here.
