Morning bloggers,

Last week I applied for an Fashion Writers Intern at Elle Magazine in London! I was literally shaking when sending my application hehe.. The task was to write a 250 write up about an influential person in the fashion industry, who I would love to interview. The task  seemed tricky initially but as many writers know 250 words is nothing once the ball gets rolling! I really hope & pray I grab this opportunity to intern at Elle it would be any aspiring fashion journalists dream come true!

It’s Zara Baby!

Hey dolls,

With Spring/ Summer fast approaching I’ve been on the prowl for the perfect summery footwear! Even though I am half way across the globe thanks to Instagram, Twitter and various websites I am still able to remain on trend.. wooop!!

So Zara have created an fantastic replica of some D& G sandals which are a hit on the high street! I love how Zara has made this shoe affordable to the likes of the high street shopper like myself! I’m slightly worried however that this trend is going into over kill with so many fashionistas wearing the same shoes!!

 

Nevertheless lets take a look at the amazing sandals,

 

The best seller is called the “Heeled Combination Sandal” which costs £29.99 and is only 4.5 inches which is great therefore it can be worn on a night out or for a lunch date either way these sandals rock.

Image

I absolutely heart the gold & coral combination this could be teamed with a cute summery dress or a pair of jeans and a shirt. Dressed up or dressed down this bargain is not to be missed.

Image

 

My fav however is this royal blue number hopefully not too many girlies have the same shoes I’d opt for the royal blue as I feel more people will choose the coral!

Another great choice is the “Medium height sandal” which comes in various colours. I call it the chunky midi heel because the heel is quite chunky which makes the heel not look so high, therefore its well balanced which is just what I need.

Image

 

 

I love the pastel look with this sandal and it only costs £39.99! £10 more than the “heeled combo” but I think it’s still a great trendy choice.

Another yummy choice from Zara is the “Wide Heel Sandal“ 

Image

 

 

I love the Aztec print on this beauty it’s just so versatile and for the daring fashionista. It costs £39.99! To complete this purse- friendly look I’d wear a leather shirt and balance it with a pair of boyfriend jeans to give it that effortless look!

 

So dolls head to http://www.zara.com and view their gorgeous catalogue of trendy sandals which are fairly priced! Good job Zara…

 

P.s.

How many of you managed to order for your “Riri Woo??”

Rochelle Hume’s Style Evolution!

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

Afternoon sweets,

 

Sorry for the lack of posts my days are pretty hectic with no time to blog! This is very upsetting as I see so many amazing blogs but I just don’t have the time these days.. Having said that I’ve been on the prowl for a stylish celebrity to brighten up the gloomy days for those of you in the UK hehe..

Rochelle from the Saturdays has got a fantastic taste in fashion or a really good stylist,because since her marriage, pregnancy & move to America this girls looks have been on fire LITERALLY! 

Hands down Rochelle is the best dressed Saturday to grace our TV screens & red carpet.. Rochelle makes her looks so effortlessly done with minimal make up and a huge smile in tow Rochelle puts other pregnant celebs to shame.. no need to mention any names hehe

Her first look that I admire is her Victoria Beckham Military piece 

Image

 

Rochelle’s’ on trend fish plait and minimal make-up definitely highlights the beauty of the dress. Rochelle doesn’t need to accessorize such a cute day- time dress! I love the detachable sleeves this look is great & the fact that she teams this look with a pair of flats makes me feel I could try this outfit one day too!

My Second fav is her Topshop asymmetric body con midi dress that she wore to promote the reality show with the rest of her band-mates.. This look is great even though Rochelle is pregnant she still oversteps the fashionable boundaries but makes it look really chic!Image

  The next look is Rochelle rocking a leather berry top with a mini body con skirt. This berry number flattens her stomach which is a key piece in this outfit to hide her pregnancy which is cute! I love how she remains on trend even though she’s pregnant.. who knew maternity clothes could be so great?

ImageShe teams this look with her envious smile and a pair of studded loubs to finish this great look.

Image

 

For one of her recent red carpet appearances Rochelle sports a mid length blue dress, with a pair of killer YSL tribute heels, showing off her beautiful bump on the red carpet! This outfit is great again Rochelle makes this look effortless the fact that she changes from heels to flats, even sandals just shows what a normal down to earth girl she is!

 

Image

 

This is the most recent image of Rochelle shopping in London, she’s seen here wearing all black, with a leather jacket but spices this look up with a cute hat! This outfit rocks and is easy for any of us to imitate on a cold dull day!

 

I love how Rochelle’s style has enhanced maybe its the water across the pond I don’t know but whatever it is I can’t wait to see more of her maternity wardrobe!

Grammy Fash-Off!

Tags

, , , , , , , , ,

Hey dolls,

It’s been a week since I’ve last blogged I’m sorry I’ve been caught up in the hustle and bustle of Lagos which is so far so good!! This post comes a couple of days late however it’s here my Grammy analysis… This year not a lot of celebrities outfits tickled my fancy it was the usual attire for some but the following celebrities really impressed me!

Of course Rihanna my ultimate fav dazzled in all the sheer you could imagine in an Azzedine Alaia Gown accompanied with Neil Lane Jewellery!

Image

Image

I love the length & lush colour which really complimented Rihanna’s sun-kissed skin tone.. Rihanna was a total hit in this gown her nipples were reportedly on show but hey it’s sheer and she looked ravishing! Love ya RiRi!!

Advocate of Fashion’s next stylish pick was Taylor Swift with all the press circulating her personal life I thought Taylor Swift wowed viewers with her sensational Grecian dress by J Mendel. We are used to seeing Taylor wear promy, a-line gowns but this dress was fab.. as she effortlessly cat walked down the red carpet like the star she is..

Image

 

Next up was Adele.. With this being her second red carpet appearance since the birth of her son Adele fails to disappoint. Although some critics may think otherwise, however this dress breathed a sense of fresh air into Adele’s red carpet ensembles.. the vibrancy, colour print and cut of this Valentino number was great for Adele!

Image

 

Notice the floral print shoes as well… the attention to detail is great!

Image

 

Katy Perry never ceases to amaze me with her outfits and she did exactly that at the Grammy’s. Her mint green Gucci gown with some serious cleavage candy.. ahh what I would do to wear that dress! The detailing was exceptional and definitely caused heads to turn..

Image

Image

Take note of the customised embellishment used on this wonderful gown..

Image

 

Only problem here is maybe Katy should have slicked her hair back to bring to prominence the detailing all the same Katy still worked that dress!!

My final and favourite look of the night was Kelly Rowland! Words cannot describe my love for this beautiful dress it just looked fabulous on her! That was the trendiest outfit I have ever seen Kelly wear and she really set the red carpet ablaze in her sheer panelled dress by Georges Chakra Couture.

Image

The cut outs were to die for, Kelly rocked this dress and hands down was one of the best dressed celebrities of the night!!

She accessorised with Lorraine Schwartz jewellery & a basic black clutch which I would have left at home nevertheless the beauty of the dress overshadowed her clutch bag!

Image

 

Image 

Absolutely loved this look well done Kelly!!!

 

Those are Advocate of Fashion’s stylish Grammy picks hope you enjoyed them fashionistas?

Kardashian Kollection Phase 2

Tags

, , , , , , ,

Hey Dolls,

The Kardashians are back again with the other part to their long awaited collection!!! I wasn’t as drawn to this part of the collection as the first, it’s pretty much the same however just different colours and prints!!

20130122-111500.jpg

This is the current layout of the collection which is different from the last… I think the girls were going for a more classy and demure look this time around!

20130122-111830.jpg

As you can see their trademark leopard print is still very much there, however in blue which is very different from the last!

Now I’m going to show you my stylish picks from the line I hope you like them!

20130122-112110.jpg

Up first comes this black tailored blazer which is a fab staple piece, which can be teamed up with a pair of skinnies or a dress with embelishment for a night look! I love blazers and I think alot of Kardashian flair went into this one as they tend to wear a lot of blazers!

If black doesn’t tickle your fancy there is an uber chick white version which Khloe Kardashian featured on her Instagram about two days ago….

20130122-112501.jpg

Fabulous right? Both blazers are priced at a reasonable £45 which is great for any occasion!

Blazers were a big hit for this collection as the leopard print blazer shown in my previous post, was toned down to a polka dot version both black and white!
I guess to wear these prints you have to be very open to try new things as any fashionista is… It’s great for minimising the bottom half of an ensemble as the dots are quite big! I guess polka dots are making a return this season…

20130122-112852.jpg

20130122-113005.jpg

Both blazers are priced at £50 however I prefer the white one as the black one can look a tad cheap depending on how it’s worn!

Moving on from my slight blazer obsession I searched for some blouses which I thought were lush!

20130122-113311.jpg

This vintage look shirt is great tucked into an a-line skater skirt for a casual look, or a pair of leggings. The shirt comes in at £35 and is a great colour and cut! Possibly Kourtney’s design!

The next blouses are very peculiar, its a good material however at the arms it has cut outs where strings are placed.. I didn’t quite understand the concept here but I’m sure it can work with a pair of jeans or high waisted skirt…

20130122-113816.jpg

20130122-114025.jpg

That’s the sheer cut outs I was mentioning but on the black blouse both come in at £35…

20130122-114218.jpg

Another staple blouse which has been used in the previous part of the collection is the pussy bow oversized Khloe blouse! I call it the Khloe blouse because it mirrors her great style!

20130122-114447.jpg

This blouse is £35 and I’ve seen alot of women wearing the brown leopard print one with leggings and boots as it’s quite cold here in the UK *sobs*

There is also a polka dot black blouse at £35 similar to the statement blazer which is good for a casual shopping day teamed with a pair of jeans…

20130122-114835.jpg

Last but not least I’m onto the dresses! The dresses didn’t really catch my eyes apart from these two statement dresses!

First I liked this royal blue v-neck bodycon type of dress which is great to add, a pop of colour to a dull outfit this winter season…

20130122-115213.jpg

It’s saucy yeah? Costs £40 and will be great on a night out!!

The next dress is the leopard printed blouse but in a dress version… The dress has a cotton material which is quite heavy, not to fear the dress is sliming and has a cut out at the back which jazzes it up for a sexy night look!

20130122-115614.jpg

This leopard print beauty is £42 and is a great way to go into the s/s trend!

There you have it fashionistas my stylist picks on the Kardashian Kollection phase two! I feel phase one was so much better having said that there are still some divine pieces available in this collection!

To shop the Kardashian Kollection visit http://www.dorothyperkins.com or head to a store near you!!!
