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. 

Kylie and best friend Pia Mia rock ripped denim

Beyonce aces the layered look paired with her jeans 

 

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? 

Kim throws on a distressed denim jacket to make for a more casual outfit 

Every girls needs a classic black leather jacket 

 I'm loving Chrissy Teigens oversized bottle green leather

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. 

Kendall styles an oversized jumper dress with over the knee nude boots

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

J.Lo shows us how to style the popular cage boots

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...

Kylie Turns 18!

Kylie Jenner Turned 18 on Monday and I'm sure you have all heard about her $320,000 birthday present from her boyfriend Tyga, of course he didn't buy her any average gift, he bought her a white Ferrari! How lovely and I wish I had a boyfriend that would buy me a Ferrari but what I'm more concerned about is what Kylie wore to celebrate her big day. 

The Kardashian clan and friends celebrated the special occasion in Los Angeles where Kylie was first papped wearing a sparkling silver mini before later changing into a figure hugging LBD. I know I say this often but when pictures surfaced of Kylie in the silver diamante number I fell in love with the dress, this has got to be my favourite Kylie look to date. It certainly was the perfect party dress, Nicholas Jebran, a less established name, was the designer of this beautifully beaded creation which also featured nude illusional panels which have been a staple amongst the Kardashians and other stylish celebs on the red carpet over the course of this year. Of course this is Kylie Jenner we're talking about, so not only must we discuss what she's wearing but what new hair do she is rocking and this time she's gone for platinum blonde Barbie 'do, and does she suit it? Yes! Because some how she can pull off any hair style, colour or cut like nobody else. 

finish off the super glamorous look she accessorised with a cute top handle bag and nude strappy sandals which complimented the panels in her dress and for makeup she opted for a sultry bronze smokey eye and rosey pink plump lips,  this girls makeup just keeps getting better.

 A girl is suppose stand out and be the centre of attention on her birthday and Kylie did just that, she sure knows to make a statement and have us fans lusting over her every look.

For her second look she changed in to a sparkling LBD, which I'm not so crazy about, personally I don't think its very 'Kylie' and it clashes with her peroxide hair. She should have stuck with the original dress, I know if I had that dress I would never want to take it off!

First Video Makeup Tutorial

I've finally published my first video makeup tutorial for YouTube. For this makeup look I created a 'spotlight smokey eye' along with my regular face routine. I hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to my channel and feel free to leave comments and suggestions for my future videos! 

Blush, Nude & Denim

 

bomber jacket - House of CB

cami - River Island 

skirts - Sportsgirl 

heels - Public Desire 

bag - YSL

The weather in Darlington is cold, rainy and very depressing and as much as I would like to be posting summer fashion inspiration, today just isn't the day for that because frankly that would make me more fed up because I haven't seen much sun since I got back from Ibiza last month. So instead of a collage that consists of a bright and colourful swimming costume and over-sized shades I put together this little number, something more weather appropriate. I think this outfit would be perfect for a date or day trip, the chic satin bomber jacket makes it weather appropriate and if the sun did decide to come out it can be removed to reveal the cool cami, I think camis are a necessity in every girls summer wardrobe because they are so easy to wear and are perfect to wear under jackets, blazers etc. For the lower half I chose a denim midi skirt, which is on my wish list after seeing celebs like Kylie Jenner and Beyonce sporting them with a casual day time look, a denim skirt is a cute and fashionable alternative for jeans and shorts. For footwear I chose nude heels, these particular shoes combine lace and a pointed toe which are two features in a shoe that I usually go for, lace up heels have been really popular over the last few seasons and I can't get enough of them. To complete the look I accessorized with a YSL over the shoulder chain bag which finishes the outfit beautifully and makes it look more expensive.

Happy 46th Bday J.Lo!

It may be hard to believe but Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 46th birthday over the weekend and she was seen looking just as fabulous as she did all them years ago when she first came in to the spotlight. If you read my blog regularly you will know that J.Lo is my number one fashion icon, therefore I couldn't have thought of a better time to look back on some of her best and most memorable fashion moments.  

 

Lets begin with what she wore to celebrate her 46th birthday in the Hamptons this weekend. J.Lo certainly wanted to make a statement with this one, I think she wanted us to know that it doesn't matter how old she is, she has still got it and she's looking better than ever. Her little black dress, by Bao Tranchi featured cut outs and sheer panels which showed off and accentuated all of her best assets ...lets face it all of her assets are the best. Jennifer finished off the look with minimal accessories, a simple black clutch and elegant sandals and she was also sporting a new 'do as she swapped her long locks for shorter tousled waves. I must not forget to mention her makeup, which I loved, she opted for a natural look with subtle smokey eyes and a nude lipstick.

J.Lo showed off her girly girl side back in '13 as she rocked metallic on metallic and sported a blush Kate Spade skirt, Gianvito Rossi heels and a Jimmy Choo clutch.

She has been spotted in multiple sparkling and dazzling dresses but this gold sequin Marchesa she wore to the Golden Globes in 2009 is one of my favourites. Her red carpet gowns are all so timeless, she could wear this to a special event today and it wouldn't look outdated. 

 Last year at Paris Fashion week Jennifer wore an unusual dress by Versace which featured a thigh high split which revealed a unique sequin trouser. 

For this years Golden Globes after party Jennifer wore an Amanda Wakeley two piece design which was made up of a high neck snake skin bodice with cut outs and an open back and a floor length skirt with a plunging slit. The look was complete with a matching white fur stole and snake skin Christian Louboutins, she opted for minimal accessories with a small box clutch, stud earrings and a diamond ankle bracelet - I want one! I especially loved her smokey eye makeup and up-do on this occasion, J.Lo knows how to finish every look to perfection.

 One of J.Los most rememberable looks is from the 2011 Grammy awards where she wore a super blingy Emilio Pucci mini dress which showed off her toned legs and she was sparkling from top to toe as she teamed the dress with swarovski encrusted Christian Louboutins. 

Speaking of rememberable, I can't forget to mention Jennifer's most iconic dress which is none other than that Versace gown she wore to the 2000 Grammy awards which became one of Versaces most famous creations and was voted the fifth most iconic dress of all time. The exotic green dress featured a tropical print on a slink chiffon fabric, it had a plunging neckline and a citrine studded brooch. 

 Last year at a concert J.Lo showed recognition to the famous dress as she wore a reminiscent playsuit custom designed by Versus Versace.

So I got half way through writing this post and remembered I have already written a Jennifer Lopez fashion appreciation post in the past, I clearly have an obsession ...anyway if you enjoyed this post you can read my previous J.Lo post here.

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.
