Unlikely Style Muse: Kim Kardashian


I thought I'd start a new edition, that looks at the people I have found style inspiration from - those who I may have not considered previously and some who cause a stir. I don't discriminate based on their character when it comes to deciding whether someone looks good, because if you look great I don't care who you are.
I'm a big Kardashian fan but at times i have found myself loving or loathing Kimmy K. Lately however, her style has been admirable, she ha become some what of a style icon for me, she keeps things classy yet so sexy. And has made an astonishing style transformation, toning down the over-clash of bright colours and keeping things simple  yet elegant is a rounded definition of how i see style. Now that is not to say that her fashion choices are not point of objection and controversy. 
She has made curvy sexy, and her outfit choices have complimented her figure perfectly. She has really become a style icon. 

I have picked my top 9 favourite Kimmy K style moments!



LOOK 1.
       I'm a self proclaim white on white lover, and it
 takes guts for a curvy girl to pull it off and Kim has
made me love it more! I love co-ord pieces
there really hot right now and simple.

LOOK 2.  
I love these pastel colours matched with
an oversized coat.  I love the pastel teal high-waisted
skirt, that mermaid tails at the end shows elegance,
 while still keeping it Kim with the tight fitted  crop.
 Love it! I love Kim variety of over-sized coats,
she really styles them right, this one in particular.  

 LOOK 3. 
Not normally a fan of metallics but this pieces is so
 beautiful. The mild sheerness of the outfit say sexy
but not trashy. She has really works this
 one out. The crop keeps things cute.
               



LOOK 4. 

This outfit is so simple yet so sophisticated. 
White shirt, black pants and nude heels. 
Kimmy has done it right again. The cut of both 
pieces compliment her figure, tight and revealing 
where necessary sculpting her best features. 


LOOK 5.

One of my all time favourite outfit ever worn
 by Kim. The transparent top is kept subtle
by the length of her sleeves and the high
neck line. I love how she pull of a tight
maxi, yet again embracing her curves.
White all the way. 

LOOK 6. 
I love the pale pink this Autumn, and although
 the seasons are different here to the USA,
 it still works all year round. I love the cut 
and style of this outfit, the skivvy/ high-neck
 lines are are so in right now and she wears
 this trend so well. And again her curves
 are being showcased in this hot tight high-waisted 
skirt.


LOOK 7. 
This cinderella style gown is so beautiful.
 Keeping the piece simple in cut, but so flattering. I love red, 
on Kim she holds it so beautifully. 

LOOK 8. 
I love Kim's relaxed airport look. She looks
 so stylish but so comfortable. and again 
the monochrome trend is ageless, its for any 
age and figure as long as you wear the 
correct style of clothing in the places you
 desire to flatter or tone down. So basic, but very
 effective. 

LOOK 9. 
And finally, The last look for the evening. I love 
vintage lace look, giving this dress a classy feel 
but the sheerness and transparency of her dress 
matched with the fuller underclothes are becoming
 a trend, one that I'm not so brace to try yet, 
but one that Kim makes look effortless. I love the 
mermaid hem it creates such elegance and
 creates an illusion of a fuller womanly figure and 
skinner legs. 



What are your favourite Kim fashion moments? Or who is your latest fashion crush that you wouldn't have thought to be?

Met Gala 2014: The Good, The Bad and The Try Again Next Year...

From Kimye to Cara, Designers from Chanel to Stella McCarthy to TopShop. It was all guns blazing at this years Met Ball. The fashion being a main focus as always. Some attendees were attempting  redemption from the year that was, others just dazzled us again with their flawless presence. 

Famous for the infamous dress code setting, The Met Gala is an excuse for Hollywood and fashion's finest to parade along a red carpet in sometimes controversial pieces, the Oscars without the Oscar. This years dress code was White Tie and Decorations - Some fit the brief quiet well, while others should try again next year... 

Here's my wrap up of the nights fashion frenzy. 

Best Dressed.


1.  Bad Gal RiRi x


Lovely in White, this girl has yet again wowed the fashion world. From her revealing not so there attire to magnificent gowns. This girl can work anything (grrr...). Wearing a Stella McCarthy piece RiRi shows us how its done, taking the co-ord trend to whole new level, showing off that toned stomach of hers, while keeping classy with long strong shoulders, giving the outfit edge with a messy up-do. Classy yet edgey. Deffinately a #1 winner this year. 

2. Koe Kravitz 


Loving this riskay piece worn by Zoe Kravitz. The Burgande is a fave this season and is worn well against her beautiful skin tone. This piece is from Topshop and so elegant yet very sexy. 

3. Anne Hathaway 


Rocking the Co-ord, Always so graceful and lady like. She's perfection. Wearing Calvin Klein. Simple elegance is how I'd describe Anne's look here. Simple acesssories. So pretty. 

4. Cara Delevingne 


Wearing Stella McCarthy Everything, Cara has amazed us again with her versatile, tomboyish style, whilst also looking A-Class Chick. Setting a trend and giving the men a run for their money. Cara's casual yet stunning outfit speaks comfort and confidence. Nice One. 

5. Rachael McAdams 


Wearing a nude piece from the Ralph Lauren Collection. This dress is so beautiful, suiting her angelic personality. Definitely a classy lady. Well suited to her skin tone and complementing her eye colour, this was  great selection for this years festivities. 

6. Kendal Jenner


Young and beautiful. Kendal has shocked the fashion scene with her appearances on A- grade fashion shows and her mature mindset - which is what this outfit screams. Wearing this gown from Topshop, the pearl beige is stunning on her figure, I'm loving the mermaid flare hem on her.

7. Bey & Jay-Z 


Both rocking Givenchy Couture pieces. Looking that extra bit classy and cosy by each others side. Hollywoods power couple, trend setting yet again. I love the edgey look of Yonce's piece, she pulls of the hot mumma well. And a sharp tux never disappointed anyone Jay-Z. I'd vote these two # 1 Couple Costume. 

8. Kimye 


 After major major back lash toward's Kim's 2013 couch cover disaster dress, Kim has come back hotter then ever. Showing flesh through a extremely high slit gown by Lanvin. Kim has exceeded redemption! Looking stunning as always. Kayne not so bad, rocking a Lanvin tux, very sharp, A smile for the camera wouldn't hurt. 
The deep blue tone is a favourite on her. 


Worst Dress.


1.  Rita Ora 



This play-on Swan Lake did not give Rita justice this evening. It's somewhat trashy and very immature. I can see what she was hoping for with this, but didn't quiet go the distance. This assymetrical Donna Karen number had way to much going on. In my opinion gold is outdated. The shoes... Casadei gold leather gladiator boots scream too ballet for me. Left over material doesn't count as an accessory Rita. Better luck next time. 

2. Gabrielle Union 


The Prada Piece has much to answer for, I believe this did not quiet answer the brief of the evening. The crop I do like, however the skirt is questionable, I'm not a feather fan. The embellishments throughout the outfit look like a 5 year olds arts and crafts projection. Sorry Gabby. 





This years Met Ball, had some fabulous fashion pieces, I have recieved some great inspiration from the outfits of the night if only I had anywhere to wear them to..
