Amanda Wakeley: How I Dressed Bond’s Girls

Amanda Wakeley created a collection of dresses for latest James Bond film, Skyfall, which premieres in London tonight. The British designer's work will be worn by Dame Judi Dench, who plays the iconic spy's boss, M, and by Naomie Harris - a fellow MI6 undercover agent called Eve.

Wakeley was first approached in 2011 to be involved with the film, before working with Temime to choose a yellow strapless floor-length gown for Harris to wear in an action-packed casino scene (now available to buy from the label's Fulham store), and two understated felt shift dresses for Dench.

 "I am a huge fan of James Bond, so dressing not one, but two Bond girls is fantastic," said Wakeley. "Bond girls are always glamorous and incredibly smart. It is a pleasure to be associated with one of the most iconic film franchises ever. For our brand it is great global exposure. And, we loved that M also wore Amanda Wakeley - she's so chic, powerful and understated. I think it is wonderful for Amanda Wakeley in that it conveys the breadth of our design reach, from glam evening to more understated daywear."

 Berenice Marlohe isnt included in Amanda's dress designs though they are still expertisely designed for the sultry theme in all bond films.

Style Icon: Emma Watson

 

 

It seems like the naturally beautiful Emma Watson has been in our lives forever. We first saw the actress in the extremely successful Harry potter films as a little wavy haired wizard when she was just aged eleven. Since then she has become an inspiration for young women everywhere not just for her style, but for her natural beauty and down to earth attitude.

Duchess of Cambridge Kate, Smiles Bravely after Topless Incident...

Can you imagine having a lovely break in a beautiful country house, and then suddenly find out that some prying french photographer had been spying on yo; when you had thought you'd been in private? Such a creepy thought! I don't understand how anyone can think that it is acceptable or appropriate to publish semi-naked  photo's for all the world to see...Especially our future queen! Why not focus on Kate's elegant style and clothes she's been wearing throughout her travels? Here are some images of Kate's various outfits, worn while on duty...

William and Kate's glamorous arrival at the Solomon Islands!


Kate and William at The Solomon Islands soaking up the culture! Loving her colourful and exotic dress she's wearing to blend in with the locals. Daufanamae summed up the mood when she said: "We are just so excited to see them come here. I think almost everyone in Honiara is here".


Kate stifling a giggle as the smiling women in grass skirts presented her and William with shell necklaces. Hilarious!

Beauty and the Bling...

Have you ever woken up late, flung on some clothes, make-up and ran out the door feeling quite crappy? Well now that all has to change! Have you ever noticed how the most beautiful people are the ones who are happy and content in themselves? - without feeling the need to slap on a  tonne of make up and their best clothes in order to face the world. People now, really need to understand the full concept of beauty; so many have such a shallow perspective of it, when it really isnt so much as just skin deep...
Beauty is...
             loving others and being content in yourself.

 + having the bravery to smile when your secretly upset.

+being kind and caring to those who need it most.

= A beautiful soul :D
