Celeb Stye: Karrueche

Karrueche Tran is an American actress and model but is most well known for being on/off ex girlfriend of Chris brown. Karrueche is someone I love to follow on Instagram mostly because I love her style but after doing a little research its no surprise she is so stylish as she actually started off her career as a personal shopper, eventually becoming a freelance celebrity stylist in Hollywood. The stunning Karrueche, who is half Vietnamese and half Jamaican, is forever updating her social media with selfies, beach shots and images from the many events and hotspots she attends, it doesn't matter where she is, she always looks good and she always pulls an unusual chic outfit out the bag. Below I have put together some of my favourite Kurreche looks. 

Karrueche makes a statement in this bold two piece by Manning Cartell. The cute bralette shows off her enviable abs and the mustard colour compliments her beautiful skin tone. I like how she has kept everything else minimal, her makeup and accessories are muted and her hair is effortlessly pulled back. 

It would seem Karrueche is a fan of brights in a more recent appearance at the '17 Golden Globe Awards where she was a co host on the red carpet. Karrueche stunned in a hot pink gown by Dolce & Gabanna. Many were not a fan of this look which was dubbed more high school prom than Hollywood but I disagree I think she pulled it off. I'm also a major fan of her sleek top knot and hoops. 

Throwing it back to '15 but keeping up the brights trend, Karrueche was photographed in another vivid two piece. This ticks all the boxes for me I love a red evening look and her high waisted flared trousers, which are now very on trend. 

If anyone call pull off a mini dress its Karrueche. This chocolate silky number is from House of CB which she teamed with an eye catching lantern style bag and strappy heels. For this look she went with a different approach from her usual minimal hair and makeup and instead opted for a smouldering smokey eye and a loose long braid.

My Wardrobe Necessitites

With it being the new year I decided to have a big clear out and get rid of some clothes I don't wear anymore, making room in my wardrobe for some new clothes. Below I have put together a list of my favourite and must have items for this time of year.

Plain T's

I love plain T shirts they are the most basic item but they are an absolute essential in my wardrobe, I wear one almost every day. I'm always picking up a new T shirt on shopping trips, black and white T's are a must have but some other colours I have picked up are grey, khaki and blush pink. They are so easy to wear, I have a bit of an obsession with jackets and they are perfect to wear underneath those or any other statement piece.

Fur Gilet

A gilet is a great and fashionable alternative for a coat or jacket if you don't want to completely cover yourself up, of course in this weather I would make sure I'm wearing something warm and long sleeved underneath.

Leather Jacket

I rave about leather jackets a lot but its a fact that they are a timeless item, they never go out of fashion, they can give a simple outfit a bit of an edge and they go with pretty much everything.

Denim Jacket 

I just picked up a denim jacket last week in the sale at Zara, another easy to wear item which will probably be in my wardrobe forever. I love wearing different textures together like leather and denim. 

Bomber Jacket 

Lord knows I love a bomber jacket, I've probably mentioned them in my last 5 fashion posts but I'm still loving them and they don't seem to be going out of fashion any time soon! 

Leather leggings/trousers

Leather can add a bit of excitement to an otherwise plain outfit, these can work dressed down for a day look and dressed up for a night out.

Ankle boots

I've always opted for long boots but this year I've bought some ankle boots, last year saw an over-the-knee over load so I've decided to go for something different for everyday wear.

Statement heels 

I love to wear a statement heel for a night out, I think shoes are just as important as the outfit you wear and they can completely finish the look off, a lot of fashion at the moment is very basic,  for example a block coloured slinky dress or two piece, so a stylish pair of shoes can really set an outfit off and be the talking point of the outfit. 

Jumpers

Jumpers are definitely a necessity for this time of the year; high neck, roll neck, cropped, oversized, cable knit, there are so many styles and I just can't resist picking them up on shopping trips, especially at H&M they have so many to choose from at affordable prices.

Trainers

I've never been a big fan of trainers but recently I've had a change of heart and I can't complain about how comfortable they are! I love to style trainers with black skinny jeans for a casual day look.

Winter Coat

Theres nothing better than a new winter coat, I think its a good idea to upgrade your coat every year as this is the item you're probably going to wear the most and trends are constantly changing, this year I chose a shearling jacket which is very on trend as well as very warm.

Casual Fashion Inspo

I feel like I haven't wrote a fashion post in ages but as usual I've been obsessing daily over fashion posts on Instagram.I have decided to put together a selection of my favourite casual looks recently posted by the Kardashians and Jenners of course, more stylish celebs and some of my favourite fashion bloggers. 

Kourtney, Khloe and Kylie rock all black. Lately I have been wearing leather leggings and trousers religiously and I need to buy some plain and distressed black jeans, I think they go with pretty much everything and can smarten up a casual look. 

Simlar to Kylies look is Sarah Ashcrofts street style in New York, I love the black and nude combination, I'm still loving bomber jackets and my collection is ever growing but this nude and a black bomber are to be added next. Sarah is also wearing the limited edition Nike Desert Thea trainers which I was trying to get a hold of for weeks but I have officially gave up, at least I have the black NY cap!

How good do Kourtney and Kylie look in their Yeezy oversized sweatshirts,  I don't think anybody can pull this look off quite like these girls and certainly not everyone can afford the ridiculous price tag never the less I'm inspired. 

Oversized and waterfall coats are still very much in fashion this year, but what I particularly like about Kylie and Gigis looks is the grey tones, I'm loving neutral and muted colours.

Sarah Ashcroft looks classy and stylish with a simple white tee, distressed jeans and a leather biker jacket. I love leather jackets they never go out of fashion and can make the most plain outfit look trendy, I have a leather jacket from Zara for Christmas which I can't wait to wear! 

More leather jackets worn by Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, styled with over the knee boots and lace detail khaki trousers.

 Kylie sports Adidas originals for an extra casual look.

Autumn Fashion Inspiration

Its been a little while since my last post because last month I was very busy training at the North East Makeup Academy and with work on top of that my blog was at the back of my mind, however I'm back and I'm looking forward to writing lots of new fashion and beauty posts as well as making new video tutorials. 

This post is all about fashion, unfortunately Summer has been and gone and its now Autumn time, which only means one thing... its time for a wardrobe makeover. I've been doing a little research, online and in stores to figure out how I want to style myself and what items will be on my wish list this season. I've also been getting some inspiration from the most fashionable and on trend celebrities and below I have put together a selection of images which are my muse for Autumn. 

Denim.

light, dark, distressed, jeans, shorts, skirts, jackets. You can never have too much denim in your wardrobe, these celebs show us how to style it, wether it be with a simple plain tee or the risky denim on denim trend.

Duster coats are the perfect cover up for cooler autumn days

Fur stoles are a great alternative for a scarf and can make a very casual outfit like Kim's look glam 

I'm a huge fan of these Rita Ora looks, she's ticking so many boxes 

I'm loving Zendayas and Kylies casual sporty sheer tops
