Trends of The Golden Globes

Hello loves! Did you guys see the Golden Globes last night? What an amazing show! I love seeing my favorite actors/actresses and movies/shows winning awards for being the most amazing throughout the year. But the main thing I love to watch is the Red Carpet! The beautiful ladies in their one-of-a-kind gowns! I adore it! Here are a few trends I spotted while watching the preshow. 

In my Fall Trend and Winter Trend posts I mentioned how certain trends would pop up during this time of year. Now you cannot doubt it any longer. Here are the trends that walked the Red Carpet.

All White: This is so trendy right now to sport everything white. It is such a classic and heavenly shade. I love how all of the white dresses are very airy and crisp. None seem too heavy. Instead they all are very soft and pleasant. Here we have Rocsi Diaz, Paula Patton, Margot Robbie and Jennifer Lawrence.

(Emerald was seen on more than one beauty that night including Margot Robbie's shoes and gown details as well as Jennifer Lawrence's earrings.)

All Black: Okay, black is perfect all year around. These ladies were on point when they walked down the Red Carpet in sultry black gowns. Each one had a different shape, style, and detail. I love how designers pay so much attention to detail! Here we have Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, Leslie Mann, Sofia Vergara, and Lily Rabe. 

Baby Boomers: Okay, not officially a trend but come on! There was a pattern here. Last night we had three beauties strut down the Red Carpet showing off their baby bumps. Aren't they adorable! It's incredible how they worked the carpet. Featured here is: Olivia Wilde, Drew Barrymore, and Kerry Washington.

All Red: This is a hard color to pull off when walking the Red Carpet. Some stylists prefer to stay away from this hue since it could do some serious damage. But no worries here! These ladies pulled it off flawlessly. Some how instead of being swallowed up by the Red Carpet they stood out from it! 

We have here: Amy Adams, Lupita Nyong'o, Taylor Swift, and Emma Watson (by far my favorite. So unexpected to have a pair of trousers on but I adore the extreme low back of this half dress).

Book Review: Perks of being a Wallflower

Alright everyone, if you're sensitive or overly in love with this book please feel free to disagree. Everyone has their own opinion or else the world would be a boring place. 

With that being said.. Hello Lovely Readers! Hope you guys are having a fabulous week. I start my second semester of college and feel like sharing a book that has a lot of hype around it. Now I know my opinion isn't law but this is my blog and I'm not gonna lie about anything. 

So let's get right into this!

Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Probably the most overhyped book I have ever heard of, after Twilight, Hunger Games, and Pretty Little Liars. For the amount of attention the movie got and the "good" reviews I was hearing about the book I expected so much out of it. I want to let you guys know that it really is just another book to me. 

The characters were some what relatable and the events that happen are def relatable. But overall, I was not transformed after reading the book and that is the sole purpose of a book, to me, to transform you. 

The book is set in a diary form with the protagonist, Charlie, as its writer. He is actually writing to someone, who we never meet, that he knows and heard of. I think that the ending was kind of unexpected and it leaves you hanging. I didn't understand it at all and I wish the author had given us more hints or details about certian events. 

However, since I have yet to see the movie (which I think is what people truly went crazy about) I cannot close this chapter on my opinion of Perks just yet. Movies have a way of conveying an emotion and a message. Visuals are sometimes greater than books. (Blasphemy as a writer, I know lol)

I also think that I am highly influenced by the idea that a book is suppose to be magical. As if the world you are reading about wasn't just a normal world. I believe books are suppose to be passages to a different time and place. It's the only way to feel alive and differentiate with "real life". 

(Same goes for movies)

So that is why I was a bit upset when nothing extraordinary happened in Perks, and maybe I'm just wrong and I'm not seeing the big picture.

What are your opinions? 

But I admit, It was still a great book.
