Make it highstreet | People's Choice Awards 2014

Helllo!

So it's award's season hurrrah!! Award's season is my third favourite season of the year - following Christmas season and birthday season and way above exam season! It all kicked off to a leisurely start with the People's Choice Awards. I'll be honest the People's Choice are never my favourite award season...mainly because I don't really understand the point of them. But any excuse to lust over pretty shoes and men in tuxs is a winner with me.

I wasn't blown away by the dresses on show but there were definitely some that caught my eye. My winner of the night had to be Naya Rivera. Every morning I wake up a little sadder that I do not look like her - the woman is a goddess and she looked beyond goddess in a gorgeous Michael Kors block mullet dress. Honourable mention has to go to Anna Faris for breaking the red carpet mould and going for a chic Naeem Khan trouser suit. I love it when leading ladies get away from the stereotypical dresses.

There were some lovely pops of colour on the red carpet too, a lovely counteraction to the miserable grey skies we've been seeing at the moment. Jillian Rose stood out in her lovely coral dress and Lucy Hale really brought that summer vibe in a Gabriela Cadena floral piece. Jennifer Hudson, who pretty much always looks awesome, shone in a form fitting and gathered white dress by Kaufman Franco.

Of course there's always some dresses you're not going to love. Heidi Klum was way way overdressed in Armani for what I always think of as one of the more 'casual' award ceremonies. For me, Kat Denning's rose patterned dress by David Meister Signature was just a little too old fashioned especially when compared to her co-host Beth Behrs who was looking really great in Guilietta monochrome. There's something about Kat Denning's style that just doesn't suit my palette...I honestly think it might be because I went to school with a really annoying girl who looked just like her. Fickle I know!

So if you wanna create your own little red carpet at home I've found a few dupe-like things on the highstreet. I know it's January and we all got no place to go...but we can still get all dressed up!

Hope you like these! What was your favourite red carpet dress? Are you excited about award season?

Make It Highstreet | People's Choice Awards 2013

Award's are coming! Award's are coming! I'm so excited - I love a good awards season! The season crashed into action with the People's Choice Awards and it was certainly very glam! I sometimes worry about this award, it's voted for by the public and I sometimes wonder if really it's just a big battle of the fandoms but I was pleasantly surprised by the turn out of some big stars as well as the regulars to Trending Topics. There were some beautiful dresses on show, Heidi Klum showed off her figure in a sliced Julien McDonald gown and Lea Michele looked positively radiant in a neon pink Ellie Saab mini. There were the classic faux-pas as usual. For me the two worst looks of the night belonged to Katy Perry and Jennifer Aniston - a surprise considering what seasoned award attendees they are. They both dressed badly for their age, Jennifer took a step out of her comfort zone and went for a Dior leather mini. It just felt forced, a good dress but wrong for her. Katy Perry also stepped away from her norm in a Valentino dress, again I felt it was wrong for her age, too frumpy not the fun we're used to from the inventor of the whipped cream bra...

Now whilst we can't all get away with baring all a la Taylor Swift there were some lovely dresses on show and inspiration could definitely be found. Here's a few highstreet dupes of some of the dresses that were on the red carpet last night for us mere mortals to enjoy...
