Hello from sunny Australia, land of the tall gum trees...
and where we like to watch the Golden Globes just to make sure these ladies turn up:

and Cate Blanchett, sparkling in gold..
In fact, there was a lot of gold, which has become the neutral of the day..
Elegance in light gold...
Loved the drama and the draping in this one..
A Dior, 50s vibe in very dark gold...
Loved Demi Moore's very sculptural gown, metallic but difficult to work out the colour..
Angelina Jolie went the silver/gray route.
Looking forward to seeing her movie as Maria Callas..
Cynthia Erivo in a most unusual Louis Vuitton which reminds me of Spanish Court gowns from 500 years ago...
When everyone is doing metallics and neutral, someone needs to push against the trend:

Emma Stone was stunning in strapless red,
with an elegant tailored red satin belt:
I used to make myself belts like that... a very long time ago!
Her cute Pixie cut makes me feel better about the slightly too short hair cut I had today...
With all this gold going on, here is the gold bag I received for Christmas, and some Summer sandals I bought to blend with it...
ready for me to enjoy on my daily walk...
My favourite local horses send their regards.
I was going through old photos before Christmas, and found a rare one of myself riding a horse, aged about 14:
I am with my cousin, at their farm. How long ago it was, and how fearless I was back then!
Have a great week

You'll be right on trend with your new gold bag and shoes. Love seeing the glamorous dresses. I think my favourite is the dark orange gold one with all the draping and sculptural aspects.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your sunshine and scenery. Here it's been mostly grey and dark. I always wish for snow to brighten things up, but no chance this year.
Enjoy your day.
The draping is wonderful, and seen in lots of this year's gowns. As a fellow stitcher, I really love to see fabric worked in this way. So sorry it is so grey and dark: a bit of pretty white snow would be grand. Not very much this year over in Ontario either, from what I head from the grands.
DeletePatricia, I always enjoy your posts of the Golden Globes showing the ladies in their stylish dresses. Nicole Kidman looks good every time.....and Demi Moore looks amazing at her age. Your gold bag and shoes are very cute, and I could see myself wearing them. I'm glad you got some rain. It always makes everything fresh and clean again. And what a wonderful picture of you riding the horse, a treasured photo. As always, I love your pink roses, and the color is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI hope the new year has been good to you, Patricia. Thank you for sharing the fashions, I enjoyed that.

Hi Sheri, What would we Aussie's do without Nicole Kidman. She does us proud every time, and must have fantastic a fantastic fashion team behind her. Hoping to see my new gold accessories out at a soiree next week :) Such a funny old picture, I had forgotten about it. We took so few photos back in those days. Happy New Year.
DeleteVery few women look attractive with their boobs and bums hanging out, except on the beach. So the elegance of the gold dresses is enough to make the women look very memorable.
ReplyDeleteHello Hels, that made me smile and I totally agree. In our hot climate, you can imagine how much of that goes on here!! Those elegant gold dresses remind me of the ladylike 1950s Hollywood, just so beautiful.
