Billboard Fashion Review!

Hello to you my chums!

Today I bring to you my Billboard Awards Red Carpet fashion review where I tell you who I think killed it and who should've maybe fired their stylist this year. For those of you who don't know what the Billboard Awards are, 1. get out from under that rock and 2. it's pretty much just a music award show presented by Billboard. 

So, without further adieu, heres my verdict on who was hot and who was not at this year's Billboard Awards. 

Let's start with T-Swizz.

I love this. I love it a lot. I'm getting a bit of a 70's, ABBA vibe from Taylor's pantsuit but in a cool, toned down kind of way. I like the way she's kept it simple with the jewellery and let the outfit be the statement. I'm a sucker for a statement, smokey eye paired with a nude lip so I love this makeup combined with the tousled hair. 10/10 for you TayTay. 

Next up is Kylie Jenner!

I love Kylie, I think she's one of the hottest chickadees in the entertainment industry at the moment. However, I am not a fan of this outfit, I think she looks like a leather carseat. I can see what she was trying to achieve with this dress but I don't feel like leather was the best option. It just looks too stiff and doesn't compliment her chest area. I mean, if you got 'em, flaunt 'em. I do love her shoes and her smokey makeup with her classic big lips though. 

Since we're talking about Kylie, up next is Kendall Jenner.

I initially did not like this because I thought she was wearing pants and I didn't really get it. But after some close examination I realised she's wearing tights and thigh-high boots and all is good in the world again. I love the pulled back hair, I think it really compliments the rest of the outfit given that the jacket is so intricately detailed. I feel this outfit could have been improved if she ditched the tights but overall, I'm a fan of this. 

Here we have One Direction!

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of digging them as a four-piece. Let's take it from left to right, shall we?

I don't like Liam's get up, I firstly am not a fan of the whole t-shirt-under-a-suit-jacket trend that he's tried to pull off here. The scarf makes him look like he thinks he's Hugh Hefner and his pants are too baggy. Sorry Liam, you tried. 

Louis has also tried to pull off wearing a t-shirt with a suit jacket but it's not working for him, I'm sorry. He does look better than Liam though because his pants actually fit him. I'm a fan of his hair so props for that Louis. 

Niall, Niall, Niall. Take off those damn sunglasses they're not necessary. Other than that, I rate it. It's simple yet stylish. Well done. 

Harry freakin' Styles. This boy can do no wrong. I don't know about you but I can't think of any other guy who could wear a silk shirt and actually look smoking hot while doing it. I love that his hair looks so effortlessly perfect and that he's added some jewellery to spice the outfit up further. Love your work Haz. 

Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo

So. Much. Burgundy. Nick's suit itself is fine, it does look like its in need of a bit of ironing but other than that, it's fine. It definitely could have benefited from either a black or a white shirt just to break up the whole burgundy thing though. 

Olivia, on the other hand, looks hot. Her playsuit is stunning and really compliments her body shape. Hair on point. Makeup on point. Life on point. She's 100% killing it. 

It's Iggy Iggz!

I honestly can't get over how hot Iggy Azalea looks. This outfit shows off her slim waist and big ass booty perfectly. I love her shoes and how they colour block with her two piece outfit and also kind of match her new pink ombre hair. Nice touch. Iggy's got my vote. 

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.

John Legend is looking suave af in his suit. I think the navy suit with a white shirt is a really classic look and the lilac pocket square is just the finishing touch. Looking good Mr. Legend. Chrissy, however, looks like what would happen if ABBA had a baby with a Grid Girl. I don't like it at all, I mean yeah it shows off all of her features (aka boobies), but I just think the pattern is what ruins it. Good try gf. 

Charli XCX!

Charli looks so effortlessly elegant in this simple black dress and I love it. Her messy, beachy waves provides a contrast between the structured dress and her smokey eye makeup with the bold red lip really completes the whole look. I love how she's kept her jewellery simple and let the dress speak for itself. I'm definitely a fan of women who keep it simple and still rock it. 

So there we have it! Those are my favourite hits and misses at this years Billboard Awards! Let me know in the comments who you think was the best and worst dressed as I would love to know your opinions.

Thursbae 14/05/15

Hello to you my chums!

Today I bring to you my second ever Thursbae post! This week's ultimate bae is none other than the beautiful Harry Styles. It's currently about -1827493 degrees where I live but I have a feeling its about to get a lot hotter.

Firstly, here's some background info on the famous boybander himself.

Birthdate: February 1st, 1994
Nationality: British
Occupation: Singer/Songwriter
Known for: 1/4 of One Direction... and being sexy.

Whether you're a fan of One Direction or not, it's not hard to see that Harry Styles is one of the biggest heart throbs of this generation. I'm fairly mediocre over the whole One Direction phenomenon, I do like some of their songs but I'm not devo over Zayn's departure, you know what I'm saying? Anyways, if you can't work out why Hazzler is the dude I've been swooning over this week, in-between swimming in assignments and assessment tasks, allow me to spell it out for you.

1. He has a voice that is as smooth as velvet.

If you don't believe me on this one, here's a little compilation of some of Harry's best vocal moments by OneDirectionZic on YouTube. You're most welcome frand.

 

2. Not only does he sing well, he looks good doing it.

 

Harry's style (no pun intended. Srs) is impeccable! He literally looks good all the time. On stage, when he's all sweaty he manages to look good. When I sweat I look like a wet potato. Off stage, he can rock a headband with some serious bed hair like it's nobodies business.

What?!

 

3. Harry has been through so many different stages that there's a different one to drool over everyday for a month.

 

My personal favourite is "man-bun Harry", I'm a fan of things made for women that guys still manage to pull off. E.g. man-buns, man scarves etc.

4. He supports He For She.

For those of you who haven't heard of He For She, it's basically a gender equality movement supported by men to promote the equality of both men and women. Now, I have massive respect for any guy who decides to endorse the equality of men and women so this is a massive plus for me. Gender inequality is something that angers me so much but that's a post for another day. Onya Harry.

 

5. He gets involved in charity work.

Harry has gotten involved with many charities during his career both with and without the rest of the 1D boys. He recently took time off touring to spend a day at the Lalela Project in Cape Town, South Africa, which supports children affected by poverty and offers them the chance to partake in art projects, allowing them to get creative. Harry then wore the luggage tag that the project gave to him as a gift on stage which made the children very happy. What a sweetheart.

 

So there we have it! There are 5 reasons why Harry Styles is this weeks Thursbae. If you would like to see more of Hazzle Dazzle's sexy face, you can follow him on instagram @harrystyles or on twitter at @harry_styles.

My Current Playlist!

Hello to you my chums!

 

Music is something that is very important to me as it's gotten me through some very difficult times in my life. I have a multitude of talent in the field of music, believe it or not, I can play hot cross buns on the piano... Call me Beethoven, I know.

I'm just kidding, I wish I had the patience to learn a musical instrument or the gift of a beautiful singing voice but unfortunately that's not what the gods had planned for me. In the mean time I will continue annoying my family, friends and class mates with the whale noises that I was so blessed with.

So, since I love finding new songs to listen to, I thought I would collate a collection of some of my current favourite songs to listen to, both new and old. I don't have one specific genre that I exclusively listen to, however I'm super into that punk-rock style of music that's recently becoming popular again. Regardless of that, there is a good mix of quite a few genres in there and hopefully you all enjoy it!
