Style Icon: Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is a woman whose style I greatly admire. I like the fact that she is not afraid to wear what ever she wants, as long she likes it and it looks good on her. Um hello? its Kim Kardashian, every freaking thing looks amazeballs! on her (my opinion bro, chill out. hehe). She's bold enough to go the extra mile to achieve her fashion desires, and she pulls them off very well. 
Below,  I have a collection of some of my all time fav statement dresses that she has rocked!

Beautifully cut dress. I really like the way she threw in those bright pink pumps to add a pop of color to the outfit. Thoughtful.

Now this dress is beyond beautiful

This! this right here is the one. She kinda lays off this Marilyn Monroe vibe in this dress.  What  other black dress out there is better? No 1 right here
Classy and Edgy

Simply elegant. She could pass for a queen in this dress

Summer Lovin'

Hello beautiful people.

Checking in to say hi.


I really don't understand why this picture is dark on here :s



Sorry I did not really take much pictures. I wanted to wear this dress with heels, but my mood while I was dressing up was not in sync with wearing heels. I really just wanted something comfy, so I opted for flat shoes. Also since it was a BBQ party, I dint really see the need for heels. (my personal opinion)


Wishing everyone a fruitful week ahead.

What to wear: Wedding.



Hello? How is everyone enjoying this lovely summer?



So a friend of mine is attending a wedding this weekend and she was in a dilemma on what to wear. She was caught up in finding the "appropriate" dress or outfit because according to her, she says she's got only club like dresses in her closet and do not think any of them would be appropriate for a daytime wedding. lol.. Anyhoo after some brain racking we managed to put together an outfit that could work for her. Inspired by her dilemma  I made up a collage of possible wedding appropriate outfit ideas to share with you guys. See them below. xoxo

Yes you were expecting to see a  dress I know. lol. who says you can't switch it up and wear something different.   I like this look because it's a semi-formal elegant ensemble, and promises to make a statement at a wedding. Go for a little loud on your makeup but not over the top, and finish this look with chandelier earn rings  (I forgot to add those to the collage,my bad)

I like this high-rise midi skirt because if you decide not to reveal any glimpse of your tummy while rocking a crop top, you can definitely pull it up all the way to meet the end of the top. Throw on the blazer to finish up a semi-formal yet edgy look, or you can ditch it if u like, the choice is urs.

I'm loving this dress. I racked my brain to find a pop of color to mix into it, because I did not want to go with the basic black. I finally came up with purple. The purple is soft enough to ease it's way it the outfit. This is most def my top wedding outfit in this collection

GONE WITH THE WIND

So I was skimming through some things online and I came across a leather skirt, and it hit me: I have not seen much people wearing this anymore. I remember when it recently started trending, and every other fashionista had it on, even I, wanted to get one (which i never ended up getting) but now a couple months later, this trend is no more in vogue? gone so soon? I should think. Its so sad because i did not expect it to fade out so quickly, i felt it was a timely piece, one that was here to stay. Apparently i was wrong. I'm glad i did not end up making the purchase, because i definitely would not want to purchase something that would fade out of fashion even before I get a chance to rock it. Im not saying people still do not wear it anymore, i'm only saying it is not timely anymore.

To sum it up, Ladies and gentlemen, I know we all love to buy stuff that are in vogue or trending, but at the same time its very advisable to purchase a timeless piece, so you do not have to worry if it will go out of fashion. If your skeptical about purchasing a trendy item, wait a couple months to see if its still in the spot light before you dive in, especially items that you know that are kind of unique or weird looking, but people only wear because its trending, well unless you have an urgent need for it. I personally like to buy trendy stuff, but I like buying timeless ensemble more. For example, the pointy toe pump trend, looks like it is here to stay. I personally love it, I do not care if its going out or not, which i highly doubt, because it is indeed a timeless piece.

Checking in-- Hope you all have a good week ahead, I know I stated in my last post that my next post would be next weekend, but this was just a random and quick thought i decided to share with you guys.

Style Post: Tribal Print Maxi

Tgif! yeh?



This was an impromptu shoot, I had no idea i was going to take any pictures when i was leaving home. lol welp, life is filled with spontaneous activities innit?

I had on a flowered print jean vest jacket over a tribal print maxi dress, for a casual day out. Perfect on the go outfit for the summer period. I personally prefer to wear mine with a vest jacket, but most definitely this dress can be worn w/out the jacket, OR with a long sleeved denim jacket, to give it a more serious, yet flirty look. I would have taken ashot w/out the jacket, but as stated earlier this was an unplanned shoot.

P.S  Prints on prints? (you may be wondering) well this is 2013 yo get with the program. Lol apparently this is a fashionfoward matching according to celebs, most important thing is pulling it off well.

Dress: Gift  find similar HERE
Vest Jacket: Mall
Sandals: Old




Only make up I had on was my Mac ruby woo lipstick(lightly applied) and I lined my brows.
Over all, I kept it simple and light. It's just one of those days where you want to be simple and laid back. Perhaps a pair of gladiator sandals, more accessories and a bit more makeup can hype up this outfit for a dressier look.



Thanks for stopping by. 
Do enjoy your weekend.
