Dallas Buyers Club Review


Both Posters for the Movie

I know this is a beauty blog and I don't write about things like this, but I recently went to see a movie that came out called Dallas Buyers Club. Now this wouldn't be the type of movie I would go to see, truthfully I only went to see it because Jared Leto was in it, but Im so glad I did. This movie is one of the best I've seen. I've already read reviews from people saying the same.


Its a true story set in 1985 Texas were AZT trials are taking place which was the drug used as a form of treatment for AIDS.

Matthew as Ron Woodroof

It stars Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof, a guy who struggles to come to terms with the fact he has AIDS.
Jared as Rayon

Jared Leto as Rayon, a transgender who also has AIDS. The two form an unlikely friendship to try and beat the disease.
Jennifer as Eve

Jennifer Garner stars as Eve who is originally helping Ron and Rayon in the hospital.


After being told he has thirty days to live Ron sets out to try and find better drugs that will keep him alive, so he goes to Mexico and finds a drug that they're using down there but its not FDA approved, so he sets up the Dallas Buyers Club, a club that you pay membership to and you get all the drugs you need for free, that way its not illegal. Rayon helps him out in this club, there have there fair share of ups and downs with the FDA confiscating the drugs twice so they go elsewhere.
Not going to lie, I did cry at the end of this movie.


Ron and Rayon

Once you get over the initial shock of seeing the weight loss in both Jared and Matthew and focus on whats happening you'll see how inspirational this movie is, it makes you want to know more and more about the characters and their lives.


This movie is heartwarming yet sad, its a perfect balance of having light hearted humour but still having a serious edge to it, if you see one movie this year let it be this, this is acting at its finest.
Its no wonder why they're winning so many awards for there parts.

Please let me know what you thought about it if you saw it. xx

I Have Red Carpet Fever - Part 1



Apart from Fashion Week, Awards Season is my favourite time of year, I am always in awe of what and who people are wearing.This is just some of my favourites from The Golden Globes, SAG's and The Grammys.


Starting off with The Golden Globes as they were first. The Golden Globes to me are the kinda showcase as they are the first 'big' awards off the year.


Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves wins Best Dressed Couple for sure, she is outstandingly beautiful and her dress was beautiful but yet she didn't outshine Matthew which I like, I also really like Matthew's Bottle Green Velvet Jacket I think he killed it and together they look phenomenal.

Olivia Wilde for me was Best dressed overall, despite being pregnant which I actually think she embraced and made this dress look even better on her. Her hair and make up was perfect and the minute she arrived on the red carpet I was at a loss for words.

 Lupita Nyong'o rocked it for her big first red carpet to come out in this Ralph Lauren dress was amazing, This to me is one of those dresses that everyone will remember, she was a show stopper.

Cate Blanchett looked almost regal at this event, I love the cut of this dress and the laser cut detail with her pale skin looked divine, the back of this dress defiantly won me over.

Sarah Hyland looked so cute in this coral Pink dress and I really like her Hair like that, Im a big fan of Heidi Braids since Katy Perry did them, and I really think it complemented this look.

Doing it for the Boys, Shannon and Jared Leto looked amazing and Im glad Jared toned it down for the event and didn't show up in some crazy get up.I really like Jared's hair like this aswell, and he is slaying Awards Season at the moment, and being a fan of the band and his Movies I'm really happy for him.


I was really underwhelmed with the SAG's comparison with The Globes.


Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, Again Best Dressed Couple, I swear you could put them both in a bin liner and they would work it, Its almost frustrating. Im so looking forward to see what she turns up to the Oscars in.

Jared Leto, This time with his Mom Constance, first off I see where he gets his looks from, shes stunning and they look great again in love with his hair.

I didn't even recognize Claire Danes when I seen her, I really like her hair this colour and I really like the effect on this dress and the 'less is more' with accessories.

The Grammys again wasn't what I was expecting, Im hoping everyone holding back for the Oscars *fingers crossed*


The minute the camera panned to Taylor Swift I forgot how to breath, is it just me or does she look like an Oscar statue, She looks phenomenal, her hair and make up complemented the dress brilliantly I really don't have enough nice things to say about this outfit, I only hope she brings out another show stopper for the Oscars next month.

Thirty Seconds to Mars were also there, Im in love with Jared's Balmain Jacket and Shannon's Saint Laurent Jacket but I felt Tomo could have done a little more.

I have loved every dress Kelly Osbourne has worn so far for Awards Season but this has got to be my favourite, I also liked the nod to her Dad with his cross on her back.

This Valentino dress looks like it was made for Katy Perry for this event specifically, I don't think she could have done any better, the only problem I have with this look is I hate her hair like this.


So who wore it best for you, Leave me a comment below. I'll be back with my favourites from The Oscars, BAFTA'S, IFTA'S and Brits.
