GODDIVA Celebrity Inspired Party Dresses

Hi lovelies I have another post for you today with a focus on party dresses from Goddiva. With December being the month of countless invitations to parties and events the first thing on most girls minds is 'but what am I going to wear?' Well don't worry because help is at hand. I have chosen my favourite celebrity inspired dresses and I hope you like them too :)

Mid Length

MULTI MESH PANEL HALTER BODYCON DRESS IN THE STYLE OF KIM KARDASHIAN BLACK/CREAM ~ £49.00

This bondage style dress still remains classy revealing only the shoulders. This a beautiful piece that I actually prefer to Kim's. The neckline detailing draws you upwards towards the smile you will have on your face with the confidence this dress gives. The symmetrical lines have turned this dress into architecture.

V NECK BANDAGE DRESS IN THE STYLE OF KIM KARDASHIAN WINE ~ £62.00

This style is definitely a siren dress for the confident sex kitten. I love this rich wine shade. Perfect for this time of year. If you have a cleavage to rival Kim's than this dress will ensure that you are noticed. I would add strappy heels, a mini sparkly pouch bag and a fake fur stole to this look all in black. Then all you have to do is purrrrrr!

THREE QUARTER LONG SLEEVE JERSEY DRESS IN THE STYLE OF KIM KARDASHIAN BLACK ~ £39.00

This simple classic wrap dress with it's angled neckline and sexy leg reveal is a perfect chic style with fabric to smooth over and accentuate the female form. This dress would work well with pretty much any figure. The draped ruching effect will aid in disguising any body concerns. I would accessorise this dress with court shoes and a simple clutch in gold and for extra va-va voom I would add a bold red lip.

Floor Length

ONE SHOULDER MULTI DRAPE JERSEY MAXI IN THE STYLE OF KIM KARDASHIAN BLUE ~ £42.00

Again I actually prefer this style to Kim's. I think the squared off bust line doesn't detract you from the cascading material falling around the shoulder. To accentuate the shoulder even more I would add a silver diamante broach such as a snowflake and a simple silver diamante bracelet to the other arm. A silver satin clutch and silver strappy heels that reveal perfectly polished toes as you walk would complete the look.

MESH INSERT SKIRT BANDEAU SEQUIN MAXI IN THE STYLE OF NICOLE SCHERZINGER BLACK ~ £75.00

I dare any woman to try and not look sexy in this dress. Impossible! The mesh inserts add to the glamour puss styling. Long sparkly earrings, sparkly nails, deep red matte lips and a beauty mole are all that's needed for a movie star entrance. No need for a jacket, just wear the guys that's just handed you his number ;)

So that's my picks for party season from Goddiva. Be sure to check out these and more celebrity inspired Christmas and New Year party dresses on their website.

FOTN: New Year's Eve & StarGazer Lashes Review

Hi my special Beauty Addicts and Happy New Year's Eve! Today I wanted to show you a look I have created that could be worn on New Year's Eve or on any night out really. This look also includes a review of some false lashes that were sent to me for free. Here is the look I created :)

Now let me talk about these false lashes that were sent to me by the lovely Kat at Touch Media. These are the StarGazer Feathered Eye Lash 40. They are described as feathered I guess because they have longer lashes on the band with shorter ones in between. I love the little berries (or at least that's what I call them) that are edged along some of the tips. I applied these before doing any of my make-up because I am no pro at applying false lashes as you can probably tell. These were a little long in width for my eyes so I trimmed a couple of berries width from the inner part of each lash before application. These came with their own glue. It looks almost iridescent blue, but dries clear. It's kind of gooey. I used a cotton bud to apply it along the band and tweezers to place the lashes onto the eyes. These were very fiddly let me tell you, but I do like the overall effect. They are very, very long and touch my brow bone if I open my eyes wide. Because they remind me of berries I think they are perfect for the winter months. I wanted the lashes to be the main feature of this look so I kept the rest of the make-up fairly neutral with a toned down lip and a fairly light smokey eye. I think the headband worn hippy style adds to the New Years Eve feel as it adds that touch of glam with a natural wave to the hair. If I applied these again I would probably use some black liquid liner to cover the glue as it shows up a bit. You can buy these fun and flirty lashes for £4.00 here.

H&M Shimmer Lipbalm (The Pink One)

NOTD: New Year's Eve Sparkle

Hi my special people. I hope you are all having a good week. Even though I do not have any New Year's Eve plans at the moment I was feeling inspired and fancied something glittery on my nails. This is the combo that I tried and I love it.

Firstly I applied my usual Rimmel base coat. I then applied two coats of O.P.I. Dating A Royal. This is a gorgeous mid-toned blue that can look very chic on it's own. This applied very nicely with two coats. I really like it. The UK O.P.I. website is currently down, but you can check out this shade on opi.com

Now for the bling. I then applied two coats of this fantastic nail glitter which is Revlon Star. This is my current favourite nail glitter. I love that it not only has various glitter sparkle shades, but that there are some that are some larger sparkles amongst the finer glitter sparkles. I picked this bargain nail polish up at Poundland. I could not find this on the website, but hopefully you will find it in store if you love the look of this polish as much as me.

I think this nail look is perfect for New Year's Eve night as it has the blue background which I think gives a kind of night time theme with the sparkles looking like stars or bursts of fireworks in the sky.

I will probably spend my New Year's Eve nibbling on naughty food and having a tipple or two. What are your plans? I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. I hope the new year brings good things for all of you. Thank you so much for taking the time to check in on my blog from time to time. It has certainly given me a boost in 2011 knowing that you beauties are prepared to listen to my rambles.

Love to you all
