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.

These fashionistas prove that denim-on-denim can be done 

Outerwear. 

bomber jackets, duster coats, leather, suede, denim. There's so many option but what are these fashionistas favouring?

Every girls needs a classic black leather jacket

Give me a bomber in every colour, I am obsessed!

Suede and tassels are a must have as well as the nude and warm tones Kylie and Pia Mia are sporting. 

Duster coats are the perfect cover up for cooler autumn days

 Boots. 

ankle boots, thigh highs, block heels, lace ups, suede, leather.

Its almost that time to go in search of your autumn/winter boots. 

These girls love their boots, from classic black suede heels to grey thigh highs and nude lace ups.

Chrissy wears tan boots and matching Celine bag with grey, these colours really compliment each other

Miscellaneous trends.

Kylie and Kendall show off their different interpretations of 'all black everything' 

Kylie wears all black again while friend, Hayley Baldwin adds a girly feel to her grungy look with a floral top which surprisingly works with her leather trousers and chunky heels. 

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 

And to round up this post heres a little extra Kylie Jenner outfit appreciation because this girl never gets it wrong...

Kendall and Kylie at the ESPYS

Last week the ESPYS (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award) took place at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles and even if it is a week late, I couldn't pass the opportunity to write about my favourite fashions at the event,  and there is some serious fashion to talk about because of course the full Kardashian/Jenner clan were there to support Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner) as he received a courage award. However it was only Kendall and Kylie who made an appearance on the red carpet but Kim and the rest of the family were later in the audience for the awards. 

This has to be one of my favourite Kylie looks to date and there is no question on who Kylie looked to for her inspiration as she channelled her older sister Kim in this glittering gold gown. From the figure hugging dress, to her smouldering eyes and short tousled waves its clear that Kim is Kylies style muse and this look reminds me very much of Kim in Jean Paul Gaultier at the Grammys back in February. Shady Zeineldine was the designer of Kylies floor length gold number. 

Kendall showed off her supermodel physique in a chic Alexandre Vauthier gown. The gown featured a plunging brassiere style neckline but her decolletage and arms were layered with a fine chiffon, the gown incorporated sheer and black cut out panels through out. Kendall opted for her staple sleek straight hair and for her make up; long lashes, sultry smokey eyes and a nude lipstick, the signature Kardashian look.

Met Gala 2015, My Favourite Looks

Monday night saw the annual Met Gala fundraising event take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. This event takes place every year and each year celebrates the theme of the particular year's Costume Institute Exhibition and the guests are expected to dress to match the theme of the exhibit. This years theme was 'China: Through The Looking Glass'. The Met Gala is known for being the fashion worlds most anticipated event and this year the celebrity guests certainly did not disappoint as they arrived on the red carpet which displayed the most glamorous and outrageous dresses. There was many strong contenders on the fashion front but for me, it was of course Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez as well as a few more style icons that truly stood out. 

My absolute favourite and probably the most talked about look from this years Met Gala has got to be Beyonce in Givenchy. Beyonce and husband Jay Z were the last to arrive at the event and you could say this was ironic, saving the best till last. The sheer designer dress showed off B's flawless figure as the superlatively placed multicoloured embellishment kept her dignity and glistened as it reflected the camera flashes. To complete the look she wore Lorraine Schwartz jewellery, a super sleek high ponytail and barely-there makeup. 

behind the scenes: Beyonce posted these pictures on her Instagram page 

Proud husband Kanye looks on as Kim Kardashian West holds a pose for the cameras. Kim never fails to make a statement and she sure did make jaws drop in this breath taking Roberto Cavalli gown. The stunning creation incorporated jewel detail, an open back and a feathered trail. As ever Kims makeup was applied to perfection and she wore her hair in a chic pony tail which revealed her Lorraine Shwartz diamond drop earrings. 

 Following in her sisters fashion footsteps was Kims little sister Kendall Jenner. It was no surprise Kendall was modelling Calvin Klein on the red carpet as she was chosen to be the face of Calvin Klein's #MyCalvins Denim Series campaign. Kendall stunned in the crystal beaded gown which showed off her slim supermodel figure. She wore Chopard jewellery and opted for her signature sleek and straight hair and minimal makeup. 

behind the scenes: A close up on Kendals makeup, she wore very neutral eye makeup and a nude toned lipstick.

If Jennifer Lopez makes an appearance on the red carpet I can almost guarantee she will make an appearance on my blog. Jennifer Lopez is my ultimate style icon and she never fails to amaze me with her latest fashions. Of all the looks I have included in this post I believe J.Lo captured the events theme the most as her extravagant gown, designed by Versace, incorporated a beaded chinese dragon. As you can see the sheer material was very popular on the red carpet this year, as J.Lo also showed off her curves in the revealing gown. 

Supermodel Joan Smalls looked outstanding in this purple creation by Roberto Cavalli. This gown displayed lace applique and leather detail. Joan let her dress do the talking and wore only a black choker and ring to accessorise and she wore her silky straight hair in a middle pattern. 

behind the scenes: Here we see Joans makeup artist applying a vibrant purple eyeshadow, creating a smokey eye to compliment her dress.
