"You're a world class liar, darling. Go out there and lie for Italy. Lie for Italia."- Nine

I went to go and see Nine last week and I loved it!
It is visually stunning, beautifully shot and very glamorous. I predict some Oscar nominations...

The sexy and stylish film is about a famous director, played by Daniel Day Lewis, trying to come up with a script for a film and being inspired by all the female influences in his life. There is Sophia Loren, his mother, Marion Cotillard, his wife, Penelope Cruz, his mistress, Nicole Kidman, his muse, Judy Dench, his confidante, Fergie, his childhood crush and Kate Hudson a reporter from Vogue.
But of course the costumes are what really steal the show, with all the razzle dazzle of Chicago the director Rob Marshall’s other film. Think glitter, smoky eyes, sequins, feathers, big hair, wigs, cat flick liquid eye liner, red lipstick, heels, lingerie and leotards.
After watching it I can guarantee you will want to move to Italy, star in a film and own a wardrobe full of feather boas!Ciao!

xx

ps) Hope you all have an amazing New Years Eve whatever you are doing!

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas!
Apart from my daily revision sessions (I have got mock exams and a physics re-sit in January. Eek) it has just been a really nice and relaxed holiday at home with the family. Also I never saw it coming but we had a White Christmas!

Oh and I received possibly the best present of my life...

Me and that gorgeous Canon 1000D lens.

So expect a lot more photos taken by moi to appear on the blog and because I am really interested in photography I would love to hear your opinions, ideas, tips and advice. Just make sure you keep the criticism constructive though. Yes?

Hope you all have a fantastic New Year!

List Mondays- Top 10 Personal Makeup Buys

I love those “In my bag” posts that people do (it appeals to my nosey side I think haha) so I thought for this Monday’s Top 10 I would twist it a little bit and lay out my best cosmetic buys from my makeup bag.

1.Chanel Noir Eye Liner- Its nice and dense and best of all stays on all day.
2.Maybelline Colossal Lashes- Perfect thick party lashes.
3.No. 7 Foundation- I got this in my stocking from Santa this year and it is amazing. It has “Intelligent Colour” so it will adjust to each person’s skin tone.
4.Mac Shadestick- Gorgeous by itself or with another eye shadow on top.
5.Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat- The ultimate product for getting rid of bags under your eyes and other blemishes.
6.MAC Eye Shadow Palette- Lovely jewel colours.
7.Yves Saint Laurent Lipstick- A pretty glittery pink colour.
8.Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation- Has nice even coverage and lasts for 12 hours.
9.Natural Collection Clear Mascara- I apply this over my Colossal one for added length and it locks in the dark colour.
10.Stila Lipgloss- A subtle sheen and I love the twisty end you turn to get the lipgloss out!

Photos taken on my brand new Canon 1000D SLR Camera!
(post coming soon...;D)

What are your best makeup buys?

Merry Christmas!

Hello just a quick post to wish everyone a fab Christmas tomorrow!

I hope your Christmas wishes come true and you have an amazing day.

Oh and it just started the snow where I am, how perfect.

So here are some pretty photos to look at from British Vogues December's issue with Lara Stone shot by Mario Testino.

(It actually really annoys me that the tiny corsetted ball gowns are too small for her normal sized boobs- see the last photo especially- but Christmas cheer and festivities and all that so I won't complain about them any more)

Hugs and kisses

Alexander McQueen ‘Alien’ Shoes

My initial reaction when I saw these Alexander McQueen shoes from his SS 2010 collection was “Woah.”
Then “Omg how did he make them and the models get their feet into them?”
And finally *shrugs* "Ok, well McQueen is a genius” but never for a second did I think “I must have though shoes in my life now. I want/need/have to have them.”
Sure if I stumbled across them in a shoe shop I would try them on for a laugh but I would never ever actually buy them.
Also I have no idea how much they cost but seeing as they are designer and the hottest heels to be seen in right now I am guessing they are just a teensy bit out of my budget.
So I am wondering who is actually going to buy them?
Apart from Lady Gaga who wore them in her ‘Bad Romance’ video and Daphe Guiness who was the first celebrity to wear them on the red carpet I can’t think of anyone who would seriously buy these insane (yet undeniably brilliant) shoes.

What do you think? If you had that much money would you buy them?

Current Obsession- Misfits

My new favourite TV programme.
As soon as I heard it described as “Skins meets heroes” I knew I had to check it out and it doesn’t disappoint. Although it is nowhere near as good as the genius that is Skins it is still pretty darn great.
It’s basically about a group of ASBO kids who are doing community service when they suddenly gain super powers in a mysterious storm and it’s very funny, quite daft and surprisingly scary (Warning: also pretty rude so I always make sure that I don’t watch it when my parents are in the room haha...)

Watch the season finale tomorrow at 10pm on E4 or catch up on the series at 4 on demand here

ps) Thanks so much for everyones amazing comments, I love reading them and you are all what makes blogging so fun for me. And thankyou to everyone who is following amore fashion, I just can't believe I now have 100 followers! You have made my day :)

List Monday- Top 10 Trends of the Decade

Seeing as we are fast approaching 2010 I thought I would sum up the biggest crazes we have seen in the noughties, including the good, the bad and the ugly.

1. Internet and Technology. Where would be be without our Blogger/Google/Facebook/Ipods/Wikipedia/Twitter? It's hard to imagine life without any of them now.

2.The Bob- Made popular this year by Posh Spice putting off her WAGish extensions and now everyone is at it from Katie Holmes to Rihanna. So as far as hair is concerned shorter is definitely better, not to mention chicer.
(Haha I am such a hypocrite I have long hair but don't have the guts to chop it off...)

3. Fake tan- Bleh. Need I say more?

4. 'Thinspiration'- Each decade has a new perception of woman; in the fifties it was the hourglass figure, in the sixties it was waifs like Twiggy, then big hair and hippy flares for healthy looking woman in the seventies, athletic leg warmers and neon for females in the eighties and amazonian glamorous supermodels (including the greats: Linda, Naomi, Christy and Cindy) in the nineties but this decade it will be known for the way-too-thin models. Dare I even say anorexic?
Make no mistake I am a big fan of Kate Moss, Jourdan Dunn, Sasha Pivovarova, Agyness Deyn, Karlie Kloss, Alexa Chung, Coco Rocha, Sophie Dahl Daisy Lowe and Chanel Iman (I could go on) but do you not think that it is time for something different?

5.The Rise of the Vampires- Is it any wonder we love vampires? Even just the word "vampire" has associations with lust, passion, blood, gore and now thanks to Stephanie Meyers, Edward Cullen, the ultimate fictional heart throb. Thanks to the books which have sold millions and now have a cult following and the new adult TV series True Blood which just shows that vampires are not just for tweens. So its no surprise that Vampires are here to stay.

6. Chick Lit- Ever since Helen Fielding wrote Bridget Jones, the best selling author has spawned a whole load of copy cats and even started her own genre. Without Chick Lit we wouldn't have Sex and The City, based on the column by Candance Bushnell and a ton of other films and books.

7. Reality TV- Earlier this year Big Brother said that they were stopping the programme after one more series because the viewing figures were plummeting. We have seen it all in that George Orwell 1984 inspired house and they have had every single type of person imaginable in there. We have seen the "dumb blonde bimbo" (see point 8 haha) the angry middle aged woman, the gay dancer, the '"intellectual student" who says he is going into the house "because it is an interesting social experiment." They cannot shock us anymore.

But of course we can't forget Simon Cowell who seems to be single handedly carrying on the Reality TV rein (whilst infiltrating the music charts) with the phenomenal X-Factor (19.1 people watched the final last night!) and of course the series which brought us Susan Boyle, Britain's Got Talent.

8. The WAG and the 'Dumb' Blonde- Thanks to Jessica Simpson, Jordan, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (who interestingly enough tweeted "P.S. I went brunette. I feel smarter already" earlier this week) and films like "Legally Blonde" we have a new stereotype of the girl who wants nothing more than to marry a rich man, own a chihuahua, have big boobs and dress in head to toe pink.

9. Indie Music- The past decade has brought us The Strokes, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines and Deathcab for Cutie to name a few. For me it is definitely the defining music of the era.

10. Big Franchises- Good 'ol J.K.Rowling didn't know what she had started when she released Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. She went from scribbling chapters on the back of napkins at her local cafe in Edinburgh to being worth more money than the Queen. Soon to follow suit and jump on the merchandise bandwagon was Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Batman, A series of Unfortunate Events, Narnia etc etc etc. Nice one Harry, Ron and Hermione.

What do you think are the best and the worst trends of the decade? It doesn't have to be one on my list either, just let me know in a comment, I would love to hear what you think...

Couple's With Matching Fashion Styles: David and Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale

I saw this photo and I was really entertained by the fashion styles of this two couples. Victoria Beckham and Gwen Stefan posed with their husbands at a party in London. As you can notice, David Beckham and Gavin Rossdale mirrored the fashion style of their wives. David and Victoria opted a sharp and sleek look in a slim grey suit and little black dress. On the other hand, Stefani and Gavin preferred a laid-back fashion style by wearing oversize checkered wrap and casual khaki jacket and plaid scarf.

What can you say about these couple's fashion styles?

Early New Years Resolution- STOP BITING MY NAILS

I need to stop biting my nails.
Basically I didn’t use to when I was younger but then at about 12 I started to and ever since then (I am 15 now) it has been either my “New Years Resolution” or “give it up for lent” or whatever to STOP BITING MY NAILS.
But no matter how many bottle of that vile tasting ‘Stop n’ Grow’ or however much I try I cannot stop.

Until I went ice skating the other weekend and my friends commented on my “disgusting” and “appalling” nails.
One friend even took a photo of my gross, hacked off thumb nail and said that if I didn’t grow it she would put me on Facebook and tag me on it (she was only partly joking as well)
You might think that is a tad too harsh but it is definitely the wakeup call I need.
So now I MUST stop biting my nails, to show my friends, myself and my mother (who frequently tells me off for doing it- even though she does it herself the hypocrite) that I can do it.

The Lust Have Chanel Nail Varnish which I will buy when I finally grow my nails...

Any words of advice? Does anyone here bite their nails? Or used to and then quit/ is now trying now to quit?
And when I finally stop I promise I will upload a picture of my lovely manicured nails to prove to you that I have done it alongside the 'before' photo I took last week, which really is both "appalling" and "disgusting."

Any help or words of encouragement would be AMAZING.
