The first celeb style commentary of 2015! It’s kind of a mixture of the last couple of weeks though, people have been stepping out a bit less in January and been staying in to eat healthy and work out. But those who have been out and about are looking goooood

Cosy and Chic

One of my fave looks at the moment! I’m spending my days living in skinnies, over the knee boots and blanket capes…and so are some other glam gals. I’m taking that as a fashion win!
Alex certainly won’t need a warm gilet like that when she moves to LA later this year, but for those of us feeling the chill ILWF do a really similar version that can be picked up in this gorge grey and 3 other colours http://www.inlovewithfashion.com/products/LOVE-Grey-Shearling-Gilet-.html
Tulisa’s blanket is the type I like that’ll literally goes with errrrthang. It kind of reminds me of the Aztec print one that I live in (as seen on my Boxing Day outfit post) http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&langId=-1&storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&parent_categoryId=&categoryId=&productId=18096570
Only Ri RI could get a cape that encorporates a varsity jacket into the mix…that cool maverick! No idea where I could get one, but I do know River Island do so ripped skinnies similar to hers http://www.riverisland.com/women/jeans/skinny-jeans/Mid-wash-ripped-Lana-superskinny-jeans-663989

Sexy Skirts, Cool Jackets and Winter Pastels

These combos are such a good idea for January! A pencil skirt flatters the smallest part of the hourglass shape (and if you get the right one, holds in the festive pounds) and the jackets add a nice bit of fluidity to contrast the fitted shape of the outfit. How can you not heart that?!?! It’s also really nice to see some different colour combos (grey/burgundy – triumph) and some lovely winter pastel shades. Yes purlease!
In particular I’m a big fan of Jess’ combo of skirt and casual tee, and that both are from River Island so not expensive to buy. Get the tee here http://www.riverisland.com/women/t-shirts–vests–sweats/print-t-shirts–vests/Grey-short-sleeve-Milan-print-t-shirt-666938 and her skirt here http://www.riverisland.com/women/skirts/tube–pencil-skirts/Dark-red-leather-look-pencil-skirt-665827 which also comes in a nude colour similar to the one Sam’s wearing in both pics.
Jorgie’s suede number is nice change if you want a fabric that looks luxurious but a bit less shiny, and it’s from Missguided so awesome value at £20! Get it here http://www.missguided.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/131135/s/berryana-suede-midi-skirt-burgundy/category/501/ I’m also currently spying a black duster jacket for myself from Boohoo that looks like hers here http://www.boohoo.com/restofworld/layla-longline-pocket-duster/invt/azz20688 don’t everyone else style it up before I get the chance to!

People’s Choice Awards

Oh yes, it’s award season again….exciting! Out of the red carpet glam, I identified three fabulous categories of look

Winter pastel girly

So pure and stylish looking!

Bringing Sexy Black….(yeah)

Yes Yes YES, gurls in monochrome! I’d definitely wear any of these, because obviously I have tonnes of red carpets and parties to attend where I could…

Workin’ Those Pants

It’s really nice to see ladies step away from dresses and skirts, I’m hoping this continues at some of less formal shows! I’m predicting that there’ll be an obtainable version of Portia De Rossi’s cobalt jumpsuit in the high street stat. I’m glad Melissa us wearing trousers, to me she always looks a bit unlike herself when she’s “frocked up” but here she looks radiant and damn sexy in all black errrrthang. Hella, yeah.

That’s the first round up of the year DONE! It’s the Golden Globes tonight so I’m looking forward to seeing more red carpet style.

Not everyone feels their best in January. I mean, we’re all trying to with our new found health kicks and exercise programmes, but it’s still very much a work in progress. And that is exactly why the appearance of the LBTD (Little Black T-Shirt Dress) is a lifesaver! For once my expressions aren’t the result of my naturally bitchy looking face, just the sun getting right in my eyes

I’m sooooo obsessed with this dress! It makes a great daytime or evening piece and I’ve been wearing it so much lately, of course with my thigh highs (aka, my other obsession). I just chucked the jacket over to keep warm but liked the look – it was personalised just for me, I always knew I’d make varsity somehow Hehe. I felt the bright red lip was necessary to pop some colour, it’s a Mabelline lip crayon that was recommended by my blogger buddy Alex (aka Champagne and Lemonade) and I use it when I want some extra ooommf.

I’ve been wearing a lot of black/white/grey in A/W so far but have a growing obsession with camel/brown. So when I saw that this wrap front dress that I already have in purple (which you may remember from my Hull Daily Mail post in October last year if want to take another look) in this gorgeous rust colour it seemed perfect. I already like the style and fit of it after all!

The material of this colour is a little different from my purple number, but still a bit static-ey so make sure you give it a cheeky wash before you wear it (tip- if you hang it straight up afterwards you probably won’t need to iron it). Unlike my Fresh Princess look last week, I meant to have my furry jacket on in these shots, I do enjoy a bit of fluffy clothing! I think it may be an official FBlogger requirement actually…..hehe. I kind of like the lil 70s vibe of the whole look – yeah baby! Actually that may be the 60s, whoops!

Except I wasn’t raised in West Philadelphia…it was more like East Hull! I didn’t intend to wear the sunnies but there was that gorgeous yet low winter getting right in my eyes, I also didn’t intend to wear the jacket for any shots but it was just a wee bit chilly so I caved!

This wall totally gave me Fresh Prince vibes so was the perfect backdrop to go with this outfit. T-Shirt dresses are perfect for this time of year as they’re a bit more forgiving after all the festive indulgence, as well as being easy to dress up/down. I’ve also worn this over jeans and it looks fab for those not keen on getting their legs out in the winter chill! As you can see I’m still obsessed with my boots – be prepared for this continue…oh, and I’ve discovered they come in more colours too so I may be buying more!

Happy 2015 everyone! This year is full of events in the Curious Alice household – 2 milestone birthdays (Mr Alice and my baby bro), a mini milestone wedding anniversary and (fingers crossed) I’ll be graduating…wowzers!

But right now on 1 January, or as I like to call it ‘the lost day’ we only have to worry about 2 things: eating and being comfy. I can be a little vain at times, but I’m also partial to a bit of comfy loungewear and some make up free days chilling out at home. As my blog posts are things I genuinely wear and where I wear them, this shots are no make up and in my (still being decorated after 2 years, not that I’m bitter about it) bedroom. Try not be too scared and just appreciate the clothes!

Both items were Christmas presents and are super comfy for a day of being lazy. Boohoo have some cute nightwear/loungewear right now so I’ll be picking up a few more pieces for sure! But for today I’ll be crashed on the couch with Mr Alice watching some of our new DVDs and sitcom specials, who else is sad that Miranda is finishing by the way??
