Una Bella Vita

It's a right of passage to wear beautiful jewellery on your wedding day. Whether you're an earrings kinda girl (like me!) or you prefer necklaces, bracelets/bangles or even a beautiful brooch, jewellery can make you feel like a princess. I've fallen head over heels for Chelsea De Luca's new collection, Una Bella Vita, meaning A Beautiful Life. Intertwining her Italian heritage with a highly developed vintage taste, Chelsea has created a collection that oozes glamour and individuality. With the Chelsea de Luca brand born out of a strong belief that accessories maketh the outfit, Chelsea has once again stuck to her mantra: “the bigger and bolder, the better”. Designed for confident women who appreciate something special – Una Bella Vita emulates modern day vintage charm – costume Jewellery for the 21st century. Chelsea's celebrity clients incl. Beyonce, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Miller-Heidke, Rose Byrne, Dannii & Kylie Minogue, Paris Hilton and Elle McPherson. What a list!

Oh Starry Night...

For me the Academy Awards aren't just about the winners, they're more about the gorgeous gowns that get effortlessly paraded by a slick bunch of uber glamorous A-listers. This year I wasn't disappointed! Many stars strayed away from black, opting for romantic midnight blues. The softest of yellows, creams and golds were also popular thanks to Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel Couture and Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock, who opted for one of my favourite designers Marchesa. Purple seemed to be the hot colour this season so it was no surprise to see it pop up all over the shop. Charlize Theron's custom made Christian Dior gown was a gorgeous shade, although I'm not huge fan of the bust detailing. I was pretty sure that spectacular Givenchy gown I blogged about a few weeks back would get a look in and fair enough Avatar star Zoe Saladina made it her pick. My favourite gown of the night by far! I'm madly in love with Miley Cyrus' Jenny Packham gown. Such a fabulous choice that would make the perfect wedding dress. A special mention has to go to Meryl Streep. Her Chris March gown was perfect. It was sexy, slick and so effortlessly chic. She was one of my favourites!
