Get her look - Kim Kardashian

I will be regularly uploading pictures of my style icons and how to get their look at an affordable price, enjoy!

The first style icon's style we will be stealing is Kim Kardashian! Well known for her uber-glam style it's no surprise she was my first pick. Here's a picture of one of my favorite looks that I'll be replicating using British stores.

First the panel leather leggings are very chic, for a bargain version try...

Next her very simple grey top can be easily replicated for a lot less...

Now for a structured blazer...

The next thing to add is a black  tote bag...

Now a layered necklace...

Finally some shoe boots...

It's so easy to replicate Kim's look and for only £138 why not? All the pieces used in this outfit can be worn over and over again in order to achieve a range of different looks.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

5 MUST SEE looks of the week

1.
Who: Stella McCartney
Where: Bruton Street, London
Wearing: Tweed suit of her own design
Let's see!

This tweed suit is tres chic. I love the silhouette, it's so feminine. The colour compliments her skin tone gorgeously and the pattern is sophisticated and classy. I love it with the simple tights and the clutch is cute. I'm not too sure about the shoes though, the pointed toe, the white rim - somethings off. Other than that the outfit is super classy and I really love the suit.

2.
Who: Amanda Seyfried
Where: an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman
Wearing: Michael Kors dress with brocade detailing & satin platform heels by Alexandre Birman
Let's see!

I adore this Michael Kors dress is stunning. I love the simplicity of it, the silhouette is simple but super chic and neckline is very cute. Then there's the gorgeous brocade detailing which truly is stunning. I love how simple the detailing is, it's symmetrical and simple but amazing. 

3.
Who: Naomi Watts
Where: The LA premiere of The Impossible.
Wearing: A Zac Posen floral gown
Let's see!

Zac Posen always has been one of my favourite designers and this dress just proves why. To sum it up in one word, I would say breathtaking. Literally everything about this is perfect the shape, the print, the colours, the cut - everything. Look how gorgeously curvy Naomi looks! This print is so bright and pretty I love it. My favourite part of this dress is the small train, it's such a classy, feminine touch and perfect  for the occasion.

4.
Who: Gabriella Wilde
Where:The British Independent Film Awards in London
Wearing: A Burberry burgundy dress, a burgundy clutch and nude sandals
Let's see!

Burgundy is one of my favorite colours and this is gorgeous! I think the length of this is very cute and the cut out on the bodice is really gorgeous. I like the delicate little pleats at the bottom, The matching clutch is very chic and I love those nude sandals. Her hair looks so perfect and for a more formal event, I would of loved to seen her with her hair in a gorgeous updo and a bright lip, but for this occasion I do think the dress suits very well and her hair and make up are perfect too.

5.
Who: Constance Jablonski
Where: The New York screening of The Impossible
Wearing: A Black leather dress with nude heels
Let's see!

Leather is one of my favorite things, I'm constantly wearing it and that's what draws me to this. A full leather dress can be super edgy but Constance makes it look chic. The cut suits her so well and she looks amazing! The little plait in her hair softens this look and the nude heels again make this dress more girly and chic. I love the simple clutch and her natural make up is stunning.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

CAPSULE KARDASHIAN KOLLECTION

Who is loving the Kardashian Kollection available in the UK through Dorothy Perkins? I certainly am, so far I've snapped up the 'Kourtney Skinny jeans' and the 'leopard pussybow blouse' whilst the 'black power jacket' and 'leopard clutch' are wrapped and waiting for me under the tree. I also have my eye on the leopard print scarf and 'leopard tie body.'

It's safe to say the Kollection has been a huge hit. Reviews on the website show just how much people are loving the Kollection.

This morning I checked my e-mails when I woke up, as normal and recieved an email from Dorothy Perkins like usual that included like this...

I have to say I'm so excited! The Kardashian Kollection is already perfect, what more could they add? I checked the Dorothy Perkins blog, and they've added a sneak peak...

Their introduction to the capsule Kollection was "With a new take on leopard print, cute spots and fabulous dresses we'll be giving you the chance to snap up a piece from the Capsule Kardashian Kollection just in time for Christmas!"

Personally, I'm counting down the minutes until the Kollection arrives online! Don't forget to check it out.

I hope you enjoyed this quick update.

Closet control: Key item #5

To have a gorgeous wardrobe is every fashionista's dream, having a huge variety of unique but on-trend ensembles at the ready is perfection. However to each wardrobe there are basics that are a must, no matter what you're personal style without these basics you're wardrobe won't be at its best, over the next few weeks I'll post various sections of the 'perfect' wardrobe with pictures, diagrams and helpful hints on how to achieve you're very own 'perfect' wardrobe.

This post is about the fifth key item which will help you to build your 'perfect' wardrobe which is Collared Shirts.

Collared Shirts are an easy way to pull off a formal look. Whether you're going out to dinner, meeting a friend for coffee, or taking a shopping trip you can rock a collared shirt. It's best to have a few within your reach in a few different colours and cuts so you can maximise your options because a neon pink one with a white trim may look super chic paired with black skinnies and neon pink pumps for a bright, fun look during the day. However for a more formal look in the evening a muted claret shirt, tucked into a black bodycon skirt may be more suitable. Here are my suggestions for a small range of collared shirts that you can rock...

1. Casual, denim

2. Formal coloured

3. Formal black/white

4. Casual coloured

5. Short sleeved 

Collared shirts are essential to your 'perfect' wardrobe because they can be thrown on over jeans for a simplistic look or tucked into a statement skirt for the evening. The important thing is that they can be dressed up or down and you can get multiple wears out of them. Here's an example of how I would dress this collared shirt up and down... 

The first look is very casual. You would wear the blouse loosely over the distressed jeans and then wear the claret sneakers for a casual vibe. Finish the look with a chic ponytail and a swipe of lip balm. The other look is a lot more formal. The blouse would be tucked into the claret peplum skirt and this look could be worn with black tights and then the dolly shoes could be slipped on to give a cute finish. I love the clutch bag that I chose for this look and the gold bangles look wonderful with it. To finish this I would swipe both sets or eyelashes and wear my hair in loose curls.  

Overall I highly recommend you get a small selection of collared shirts to base your 'perfect' wardrobe around. I hope you enjoy this post and that it inspires you.

Christmas outfit ideas 2012

So it's getting close to Christmas which is really exciting and to kick December off in the festive mood, I'm posting this guide to perfect Christmas outfit ideas. I'll post three outfit ideas for different Christmas scenarios. Also later on I'll be posting a gift guide so look out for that.

Scenario one - Christmas Shopping

Outfit idea one -

Sweatshirt - Topshop Trousers - New look Shoes - Topshop Necklace - Dorothy Perkins Clutch - Kardashian Kollection at Dorothy Perkins

This ensemble is very casual, and simplistic but still very stylish. I love how laid out it feels with the chunky knit over the leather look trousers. I also adore the glam accessories such as the studded loafers and especially the Kardashian clutch (Which is on my Christmas list!) Also the gold collar adds a touch of sophistication. 

 Outfit idea two -

Sweatshirt - owntherunway.co.uk Skirt - Topshop Tights - Topshop Boots - Zara Bag - missrebel.co.uk Earrings - Republic Ring - Republic 

This is a more modern take on a Christmas Shopping look, the stud detailing on the boots, bag and sweater make it very edgy. I would tuck the sweater into the faux leather skater skirt to give it a polished yet stylish feel. I adore these boots from Zara, they are fabulous. I also really love the peace ring as it's quite simple but very cute. The earrings add a nice touch to the ensemble and you could wear just one pair or if you have two piercings on each ear like myself you could wear two pairs. 

Outfit Idea 3 - 

Dress - Topshop Blazer - Kardashian Kollection at Dorothy Perkins Tights - Miss Selfridge Belt - New Look Bag - Topshop Loafers - Boohoo.com Lipstick - Paul & Joe (asos.com)

This is my final Christmas Shopping look and it's probably the most sophisticated of them all, it's quite formal due to the structured blazer and simple colour palette, however the flats and satchel give it more casual feel. I love the black and leopard print teamed with the bright red, it makes it stand out but still display a little colour in a stylish way. My favourite piece here is the structured blazer from the Kardashian Kollection which is on my Christmas list - isn't it gorgeous? 

Scenario two - Christmas Carolling

Outfit Idea 1 -

Coat - Dorothy Perkins Sweatshirt - Topshop Leggings - Warehouse Chelsea Boots - asos.com Earmuffs - bankfashion.co.uk Mittens - Jane Norman

This look, screams cozy and uber-stylish! The bright red coat is a key piece that can carry you right through December, January and February. The leggings add a fashionable spin to the look and the thick, black jumper will keep you super cozy. The Chelsea boots are a simple shoe in comparison to the patterned leggings, but are extremely chic and great for wearing when walking long distances as they won't hurt your feet but still look amazing. Finally the touches of faux fur add a glamorous finish to the ensemble. 

Outfit Idea 2 -

Coat - topshop Jumper - Topshop Jeans - New look Shoes - Republic Satchel - asos.com Headband - Topshop Snood - Topshop

This is a more 'urban' look from the oversized khaki coat with opposing sleeves and the high top wedges you can get a very urban feel. Paired with black skinny jeans to keep it simple it keeps the focus on these gorgeous knitted accessories. The knitted bow headband is uber-chic and the matching snood is adorable. I also love the oversized burgundy sweater which can be thrown over the skinny jeans and will keep you nice and toasty. Finally the satchel adds a finishing touch to the ensemble. 

Outfit Idea 3 -

Coat - Mango Dress - New Look Undershirt - Republic Tights - Boohoo.com Boots - Asda Earmuffs - River Island Mittens/Gloves - Dorothy Perkins  

Finally this is a more chic look for carol singing. The black lace bodysuit would be worn under the claret dress to keep you not only warm but looking fabulous. The lace on lace is a risk but in my opinion it's definitely one worth taking! The black tights are very simple and ensure that the gorgeous ankle boots with leopard print panels are fully admired. The key piece of this look is the gorgeous faux leopard fur coat. It's stunning. Although it is a little shapeless not to worry because the oversized, shapeless silhouette is very 'in' this season. The black earmuffs with embellishments are extremely chic and the knitted mittens are very adorable.

Scenario three - Christmas Party

Outfit Idea 1 -

Dress - desireclothing.co.uk Clutch - Kardashian Kollection at Dorothy Perkins Shoes - Republic Earrings - asos.co.uk Eye Make Up - Smokey eye using earthy tones 

This Christmas party look is very glitz and glam, exactly what one should be! It has a very simple colour palette, Gold & Black, it screams glamorous. This dress is too adorable and for only £22 who can resist? I adore the gold shoes from republic they are uber-glam. The bow earrings are a cute touch and link with the bow on the dress and on the shoes. I love this little Kardashian clutch which can also be worn with a strap across your body which makes it both practical and stylish. However for a more evening look I would use it as a clutch. Wear with a natural smokey eye for an effortlessly gorgeous look. 

Outfit Idea 2 - 

Jumpsuit - Tesco Shoes - H&M Bag - Kardashian Kollection at Dorothy Perkins Belt - Republic Nail Polish - Topshop 

This look is for the fashionably fierce. For a Christmas party most people would reach for a glam dress, but why not rock a glitzy jumpsuit? This simple one from F&F at Tesco is tres chic. The embellishment on the shoulders are beautiful and give a hint of sparkle without being too over the top. The plunging neckline is very glamorous. This look is completed with glamorous accessories like the glitzy shoes, clutch and belt. To finish this look add a sweep of glittery eyeliner and a coat or two of the very glittery Topshop nail polish and you're ready to dazzle your party guests! 

Outfit Idea 3 - 

Dress - House of Fraser Shoes - axparis.co.uk Clutch Bag - Kardashian Kollection at Dorothy Perkins Tights - Miss Selfridge Earrings - asos.co.uk Lipstick - Clinique 

This is one of my favourite looks throughout this post, I adore the black, red and leopard print all together, it screams fabulous! This dress is rather Gothic but girly, I love the pattern around the bodice. I would wear this with black tights (as above) to leave the accessories to do the talking. This Kardashian clutch is uh-mazing and is on my Christmas list! The leopard print shoes are to die for, scattered with studs you can channel the edgy look, whilst looking glamorous and put together. This look is completed with accents of red, such as the earrings and the Clinique lip stick. 

Scenario four - Christmas Baking

Outfit Idea 1 -

Sweater - udobuy.com Leggings - houseoffraser.com Vest top - H&M Socks - Disney Store Slippers - Republic 

When Christmas baking, you don't have to look glamorous so in this look I've made it very casual but very Christmassy. To start off with simple black leggings and a simple blue vest top. Then layered over this a very bright Christmassy jumper. To finish it off add these adorable mickey mouse socks peeking out over these fabulously Christmassy slippers from Republic.  

Outfit Idea 2 -

Jeans - John Lewis T-shirt - Topshop Socks - M and Co Slippers - H&M Waist belt - Mango

This look is a little more glamorous but still extremely simple. Bright jeans for a chic look with a simple, loose grey top. Cinch in your waist with a gold belt for a little extra glam. Then for a Christmassy finish wear these super comfy and cute slippers over these adorable little socks with pom-poms. 

Outfit Idea 3 -

Shorts - John Lewis T-shirt - New Look Cardigan - chiarafashion.co.uk Slippers - houseoffraser.co.uk Tights - Topshop Nail Polish - Essie 

My final Christmas baking look is a lot more glam than the other two but is still very Christmassy. To start off with layer the Claret tights under the uber-chic shorts, tuck in the Reindeer top and throw over the studded cardi. This will be super comfortable, super chic and super Christmassy! Finish the look with these gorgeous little slippers, again with pom-poms for extra cutesy factor and then paint you nails with this pop of colour nail polish from Essie. 

Scenario five - Christmas Day

Outfit Idea 1 -

Sweater - John Lewis Leggings - New Look Slippers - Debenhams Collar - Etsy Nail Polish - nails inc  

Depending on your Christmas tradition your outfit will either be the epitome of glam or very chilled out. This look is very chilled out but still stylish. Tuck your patterned leggings into these adorable slippers, throw on your oversized black shirt and finish with this studded collar for a comfy yet gorgeous look. You could also paint your nails with this very glam nail polish for a glitzy finish. 

Outfit Idea 2 -

Top - H&M Skirt - motelrocks.com Knee High Socks - Next Shoes - Office Nail wraps - Topshop Lipstick - Nars 

This look is in the middle of the glam scale. The statement piece here is the stunning leopard print, bodycon skirt. Tuck your collared shirt into this and then pair with simple black tights and these gorgeous wedges. I adore these wedges, I've been looking for an outfit to include them in because I desperately wanted to show ofd these shoes. Something about them screams chic to me, maybe it's the muted black shade, or the large bow on the strap, they're simply wonderful., To finish this look add glitzy nail wraps and perfect that pout with this bright red lipstick. 

Outfit Idea 3 -

Dress - Dorothy Perkins Tights - Miss Selfridge Shoes - udobuy.com Necklace - H&M Ring - River Island Belt - asos.co.uk Hairband - Claire's 

My final look is the most glam. Start off with the claret, velvet dress for a very on-trend look, cinch in the waist with the leopard print belt, layer over black tights, fasten the straps on the gorgeous shoes, clip up the studded necklace, slip on the bow ring and slide on the glittery headband and you're good to go! This look is fabulous, glamorous and totally gorge. I'm a sucker for huge bows in the hair so I've added my own personal spin on this, but you could wear with an embellished alice band or a bedazzled hair grip, whatever suits you best. 

I hope this post inspires your outfit choices this Christmas and I hope it leaves you looking and feeling gorgeous! Merry Christmas!

A Winter Wonderland Of Fabulous Fashion Looks

This post will help you get ready for the winter in style! filled with fashion secrets and this season's hottest looks, you'll be fabulously on-trend. I'm so excited to inform you that this post is a collaboration between myself and the talented Anya Sarre! 

Anya Sarre is one of Hollywood’s most influential trendsetters. A nationally recognized celebrity stylist, Sarre is known for her impeccable eye and ability to tie any look together with the perfect accessory. Named “Best Television Fashion Stylist” for her appearances on Entertainment Tonight, The Insider and countless other media outlets, Sarre is the go-to fashion expert for Hollywood’s biggest celebrities.

The best-kept fashion secret is simple: when you feel great, you look great.  That’s why all the major celebrities keep on top of what’s hot in the fashion world.  Just like you, they know that when they’re rocking a great look, their confidence level soars.

With this holiday season’s exciting fashion index, you don’t need an expensive assistant to look hot-off-the-charts fantastic.  Fun and flattering, it’s easy to assemble an effortless look that will keep you chicly warm on chilly, winter days, and, the good news is that with a few twists, you can propel that same look into glamour-infused holiday nights.  So girl, start your engine – it’s time to get your diva on!


If you want the dish, the cutest and simplest way to get “the Look” this holiday season is to invest in colorful and shimmery skinny jeans.  To get your day groove on, pair with one of those black sweaters from seasons past, preferably a thin one with a little more glam potential.  Finish it off by pulling on a low-heeled bootie shoe and let the color of the jeans do the work.  

When it’s time to bring a bit of edgy flair to the table and move this adorable look into the evening hours, ditch the booties in favor of colorful stilettos and a matching belt.  Slide into those chic shoes and cinch your sweater with the belt.  With a sweep of glittery shadow on your lid, you’ll be ready for your shining entrance in minutes.

Jeans - awear.com Jumper - bankfashion.co.uk Booties - Topshop Belt - espirit.co.uk Shoes - Kiara at shoedazzle.com Eye make-up - Shimmery natural colours with black liquid liner 

This simple look will have you strutting through your holiday calendar with the easy glamour you want, but the biggest holiday event of the season demands a bold, belle-of-the-ball inspired look: the hot snow princess.  

Pop out of the sea of holiday colors by glamming up all white sophistication with glittery accessories of gold or silver.  For over-the-top drama, create a flowing effect with a subtly sexy sheer overlay skirt or peek-a-boo top.  In this outfit, you can rest assured you will be front and center with all eyes looking appreciatively at you!

And why shouldn't they be?  If you know anything, it’s that a girl can never be too gorgeous.  This is the time of year to bedeck your beautiful self - not to let nippy weather nip your fashion sense.  With a few affordable, envy-inducing embellishment pieces, you’ll be enjoying a festive holiday season feeling your absolute best!

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope it inspires you with outfit ideas!
