Sound the trumpets! Colin has received a Golden Globe nomination for the Best Actor Award for his film, The King's Speech. For sustainable style fans, that means only one thing - the Green Carpet Challenge 2011 is on!

Just to recap - I get to tag along with Colin on the red carpets and, as with last year, I'll be using the opportunity to smuggle "ethical", "sustainable" and "green" fashion into venues and events where it's never been before. I'll also try to convince some other red carpet goers to do the same. We'll document the triumphs, near misses and catastrophes (but given the talent design pool I don't think there will be any of the latter), right here on VOGUE.COM.

Back at base camp, Noi Collective - which consists of myself, Lucy Siegle, Jocelyn Whipple and Orsola De Castro - will be sourcing new designers, new angles and challenges to keep the Green Carpet Challenge growing.

In the weeks up to the Golden Globes on January 16, we'll be planning and reviewing and discussing designers right here. And then there are the other events... For starters, Colin will be awarded with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January13, the Critics Choice Awards on January 14, January 15 is the Los Angeles Critics Association Awards and then, finally, it's the Globes. Colin is nominated for Best Actor throughout and I'll be doing my best to keep up. 

Welcome back to those who followed us last year and "hi" to all our new followers. We hope you'll join us throughout the awards season and chip in with comments and ideas, leads, support and suggestions. I'll endeavour to Tweet from the red carpets and my dress fittings. If you want to see how far sustainable style has come, tune in!

Director Tim Hooper, Livia and Colin Firth.

Here are a few of my favourite things - and I got to wear all of them together last night at BAFTA's A life in Pictures tribute to Colin.

Dress: The black dress is by Outsider (www.outsiderfashion.com) which I also stock at Eco Age (www.eco-age.com). "Inspired by fashion but designed to be classic, wearable and beautiful, Outsider garments can be worn and loved season after season." That's the ethos and it appears to be true because I have worn this black dress so many times since last summer and still I get that Breakfast at Tiffany's feeling.

Jewellery: Fellow Vogue blogger, Laura Bailey's jewellery collection for Made (another all time favourite!) (www.made.co.uk). To say I am addicted to it is an understatement. I wear it every day. It is funky, elegant and quirky. Last night I also wore the heart charm bracelet, which Made produced and profits of which go to Helping Handbags (www.helpinghandbags.co.uk). We covered this brilliant initiative on the Green blog.

Accessories: I went for an MTLABELS clutch. I also stock these bags at Eco Age and am the proud owner of this caramel clutch - all handmade in Italy in vegetable tanned leather.

It was a great evening and now we are all waiting with trepidation for the December 14.... Make a date to come back then and we'll tell you why!
