Jessie J - what a transformation

Known for her undeniable talent as a singer and performer, Jessie J was also making headlines with her unique and unapologetic sense of style.  The blunt fringe, the full on make up, Jessie made a big impact in the style stakes and had many a You Tube guru recreating her look.

At last nights Glamour Awards, Jessie won the 'Woman of Tomorrow' award and was nearly unrecognisable in her chic and glamorous get up.   She clearly stole the show.

She looked amazing with retro-esque waves in her hair and her fringe out of sight.  Toned down but stunning make up and a dress that clinged to her amazing figure, she looked a million dollars.   A picture of old Hollywood Glamour.

I never would have doubted her previous look had I not seen her look so unbelievably jaw-dropping at last nights Awards.  I wonder if Jessie J will keep up this new look or if it's for special events only?

Wall Candy

Last week I posted my bedroom makeover and as well as freshening up my bedroom, I have been trying to give my walls a revamp.

I enjoy images of iconic beauty, architecture and advertising in particular retro/vintage photography.  As a cheap alternative to otherwise expensive wall art I usually frame posters and photos, creating something a tad different to typical Ikea prints of City landscapes.

In this instance I logged onto AllPosters.co.uk and browsed through their many galleries from Banksy to Warhol to Kandinsky.  I went with my favourite choice of iconic beautiful women.

Instead of going for the obvious images of Audrey Hepburn,  I went for a stunning print of Liz Taylor and a gorgeous print of Marilyn Monroe, one of which I had never seen before.  I also purchased a movie poster of Le Mepris poster featuring Brigitte Bardot that was featured in a previous inspiration post.

Brigitte's Le Mepris poster

I think the key to choosing a good poster is dependant on the feel of your home and whatever room it will hang in but also to choose something that is a little bit different.  Instead of the same Audrey Breakfast at Tiffany's print or Marilyn's seven year itch, choose something that is less 'typical' to the eye so that it becomes a talking point in your room.

Of course I would love to afford 'real' art in my home and it's certainly something to work towards but in the mean time I find this a cheap and effective way at dressing my walls.

What do you have hanging on your walls?
