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.

January Wishlist

Although January is suppose to be the month of saving up after spending so much money over the Christmas period, there is always something or somethings at the back of my mind that I really want to buy... which is usually makeup or clothes. I told myself in November that I am on a makeup ban after spending too much on products I probably didn't need but my ban is up in February and my birthday is also that month, so below I've put together the products which I've been lusting over and are at the top of my wishlist. 

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil - This is something that I can't seem to get away from as it keeps popping up on my Instagram feed. I must admit it I have not seen this product up close, but its Tom Ford, I'm pretty sure it will not disappoint. From what I have seen It looks like a gorgeous product and I've also seen some brilliant reviews, another blogger claimed it smells like a holiday - cocunut, white flowers and a colourful cocktail. Thats just the smell, the oil itself looks like it gives off the perfect summer glow with just the right amount of shimmer, just the finishing touch a girl needs before a night out on the town. This is definitely something I want to be taking away on holiday with me in the summer, I just need to find a spare £70 to buy it first! 

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer - This is something I have been debating on buying for a while as I have not used a lot of NARS products but I've only heard good things about it so I think its time I give it a try. I find a lot of concealers can be very drying which makes the eye area look very dull, hopefully this creamy product will not have that effect and will give me the moisture I need along with good coverage to hide my dark circles. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette - This is another product I've had my eye on for sometime, I brushed off buying this because I tend to stick to MAC eyeshadows but lately I have came across so many tutorials using this palette I think I may have to cave and try something new. I love the selection of colours in this palette, I think I would use every one of them, the orange and pink shades are similar to what I already use on myself and a lot of my clients have been asking for those and cranberry tones lately so I think this would be a great edition to my kit.

New Year And Back To Blogging

Happy new year! 

Finally I can get back to regularly updating my blog after being out of the routine since April, my excuse is that my old laptop had been playing up but now I am back with a new laptop and I am looking forward to writing again. A lot has gone on since I was last active on here so I'm not quite sure where to start with posts but I've got some ideas in mind. 

As it is the beginning of 2017 we're all talking about our new year resolutions and like I said I don't know where to start with rebooting my blog, so for this post I may as well share my own resolutions to get back into the swing of things...

• This year I will learn to drive, I've definitely held out for long enough and made excuse after excuse but I'm feeling more confident now and have already started learning my theory so in February I'm going to start my driving lessons and hopefully pass as soon as possible.
• I will get myself in to a good gym/exercise routine, I've been so lazy since getting back from Ibiza in July, I've done hardly any exercise and I'm not feeling good in myself so now is the time to start and once I've booked my summer holiday for this year I will have all the motivation I need. 
• I also have some more 2017 goals in mind which I'm going to keep those to myself but lets just say I'm definitely ready to make some big changes this year, I feel like I've been in the same position for a long time now and its time to step up and move on with some things. 

I'll round this up here and get to brainstorming for my next post,
