Because Every Week Should Be Shark Week!

I have been obsessed with Givenchy for quite some time but unfortunately, cannot afford the hefty price tag that comes with the label's beautiful designs. Remember the Shark t-shirt from last year's Men's Line? I loved it so much... but spending $300 for a T-SHIRT (!!!) is just insane in my book.

Here's my dream shirt

I was overjoyed when I walked into Zara last weekend and saw this awesome knock-off for about a
tenth of the price.

Oscars 2012 - Red Carpet Roundup!

Did you watch the Oscars last night?

Who do you think rocked the red carpet the most?
So many great looks to choose from and so many misses...
JLo's wardrobe malfunction!
Angelina Jolie's hard posing!
And this absolute ATROCITY. My eyes are still hurting.

Here are Tinseltown's big night best looks.
I'm totally feeling the white/ivory/sparkling trend as you can see.



Gwyneth Paltrow
No one came even close to GOOP last night.
She stole the show.
This Tom Ford number is poised to go down in history as one of her best looks ever. The cape! The cuff! The hair! She looked absolutely fantastic.



Octavia Spencer
Take note Melissa McCarthy. This is how plus-size girls should dress. Octavia picked a total winner in this sparkling Tadashi Shoji number that was custom-made for her. Well done.



Michelle Williams
This exquisite Louis Vuitton gown is in line with Michelle's usual red carpet style, yet it's unexpected. Its coral hue stands out from the crowd and its soft, cascading peplum waist, adorned with a sparkling bow, is a nice change from the mermaid dresses we're accustomed to see at formal events. Michelle might not have won the Academy Award this year but she gets a gold star in our book for this look.



Emma Stone
I know that Nicole Kidman pretty much wore this same dress a couple years ago, but I just love how the raspberry hue pops on Emma. I also really like the ombré effect at the botton of the dress. The big bow is the cherry on top of this playful and age-appropriate Giambattista Batali look.



Milla Jovovich
Milla Jovovich channelled old Hollywood glamour in this beautiful Elie Saab Haute Couture Gown. You can't go wrong with a modern-twist on a classic.

Riccardo Tisci is on a roll.

We LOVED the dress worn by Cate Blanchett on Oscar night.
And now the newly appointed creative director at Dior comes up with AMAZINGNESS for his very last collection at Givenchy.

We at Popcorn Unicorn don't intend to discuss in great detail of what is happening at the main international fashion weeks. Other blogs are better at disseminating every look on the runway.

But this... this is just too good to overlook.

The collection is an eclectic mix of fabrics and patterns, but somehow, Mr. Tisci makes it work. I mean, how can you put together so many of my favourite things like 50's pin-ups, pencil skirts, Hawaii, BAGHEERA (ok, not really, but I had to put it in there to justify the title of this entry), black & yellow and sheer fabric.

Oh... and those cat-eared bomber hats are to die for!!










And while we're at it, talking about Bare Necessities...

If anyone has 30Gs to spare, you can feed my panther obsession with the best ring to have EVER been designed in my humble opinion. It dates back to 1914 and was designed by Louis Cartier.



I don't like to wear rings on my fingers but I would surely make an exception if I had this beauty in my jewellery box.
