Neutral Palletes: Kim Kardashian

Alycia Fluffy knit cropped jumper , £14.99, Missguided| Monki Duster coat, £50, ASOS| Penny metal arm sunglasses, £16, Topshop| Steve Madden Immence suede strappy high stiletto heel sandals, £75, John Lewis| Textured midi skirt by Rare, £20, Topshop. 
 
Kim Kardashian is typically known for her monochrome style choices, but this time she's opted for a neutral palette of colours with this ever so flattering outfit. Her outfit is so on trend and autumn ready, plus the pastel colours really compliment each other. While out shopping with Kanye, Kim was spotted wearing a pink silk duster coat which are ridiculously popular at the moment, there are no shortages of duster/ trench coats on the high street at the moment and I particularly love this Monki one which can be found at ASOS.
 
The two piece she is wearing has been effortlessly styled, whilst sticking to her much loved white colours, the fabric is thicker with a fluffy textured touch to it which is great for the colder months in autumn, whilst baring her toned and tanned tum. As for her shoes, these Aquazzura £415 nude heels are probably out of your budget, but these Steve Madden stilletos are a good match, nude shoes are certainly a smart buy as you will get a lot of wear from them! As for the sunglasses, a typical A-lister accessory, and if you fancy hiding away behind some black sunnies, go for it!
 
I have tried to compile a look- a- like outfit with some pieces more suited to a high street budget so we can all replicate Kim's look for less, what do you think of my finds and her look? Leave me a comment below! :)

Kourtney Kardashian: Pretty in pastels

Cross back skater dress by LOVE, £36, Topshop| Pale blue V neck box pleat skater dress, £19.99, New Look| Sleeveless skater dress with sweetheart neck, £20, ASOS.

Any of you who are regular readers of my blog will probably be aware that I absolutely love the Kardashians! I love to take inspiration from these stylish sisters, they just always look gorgeous! Even when they are getting slated and criticised for their outfit choices I still think the average girl would look amazing in the same outfit, haha, anyway when I saw Kourtney had been spotted in this cornflower blue skater dress, I knew this was a very good style decision.

This dress is perfect in so many ways! Firstly, the pastel shade of 'cornflower blue' makes it a wonderful dress for the summer months, especially if the weather stays as lovely as it has been! Secondly, the shape of the dress is very on trend and gives a floaty shape which is very flattering for many body shapes. I knew straight away that this was going to be a very popular piece, surely you cant go far wrong with a pastel summer dress?

So, I have found some affordable dresses just like Kourt's, as although I don't know where she picked up her actual dress, I am pretty sure it will not have been cheap. In particular I love the Topshop skater dress for £36, and although it is the more pricey of the options I have found, it is so beautiful! If you are looking for something a little cheaper I would opt for the New Look dress as it is almost identical to the Topshop dress for just £19.99! My ASOS find is a slightly different shape which a few of the less daring of you all might appreciate, as it avoids the plunging neck line. What do you think of Kourtney's outfit? What do you think of the similar dresses I found? Let me know! :)

SHEER

Firstly, I am so glad to be back, my lack of blogging this week has honestly been down to the fact that I have been on holiday in Scotland, and could not get barely any phone signal, never mind internet to create some posts, luckily I had a couple of pre- prepared posts that I could publish! Anyway, I thought I would do a little post on one of the biggest trends right now, sheer. There will be some people who will dislike this trend because "sheer" obviously means see- through, meaning you do have flesh on show depending on what style you opt for. However, the more daring of you all might even go the whole way and opt for sheer skirts, shirts and shorts, gorgeous! Sheer was all over the catwalk this season and now thankfully we can all now find it in high street stores too, it is such a great trend to play around with and is so suitable for spring and summer! So, I have tried to compile a selection of sheer clothing, from minimal sheer panels in shirts and skirts to sheer shirts and dresses. My personal favourites are the shirts with sheer panels, which you can wear for so many different occasions and the dresses, which look simply beautiful. What do you think of the trend? How will you be wearing sheer? :)
1. Black sheer insert shift dress- £15- River Island
2. Lavish Alice sleeveless shirt with sheer panel- £28- ASOS
3. Fortune Teller skirt with sheer panel by Jovonna- £45- Topshop
4. Sheer sleeve crop shirt- £30- Topshop
5. Double agent dress with sheer panel by Jovonna- £55- Topshop
6. Light pink organza overlay prom dress- £70- River Island
7. Black lace insert slip dress- £15- River Island
8. Petite sheer stripe jumper- £36- Topshop
9. ASOS textured shell top with sheer panel- £28- ASOS
10. Free People top with sheer panel cut out- £68- ASOS

Kim Kardashian| Celeb Style Steal

I know I have already done a 'celeb style steal' post this week, imitating Kylie Jenner's outfit, but when I saw pictures of Kim Kardashian at the Versace mansion this week I just had to find a way to replicate her look! Kim wore a beautiful peach coloured turtle neck crop top which unfortunately is not available from their Kardashian Kollection clothing line yet, she was layering a matching vintage Alaïa dress and nude Alaïa embellished suade sandals which were unfortunately a huge £782! However I have tried my best to find some alternatives to her outfit so that we can all re- create the look for a lot less! I absolutely love the idea of layering a skirt with a turtle neck jumper, so I have found some similar high street pieces below, what do you think of this look? :)
1. Crop top with turtle neck in rip crop- £14- ASOS
2. HIGHWIRE Heeled sandals- £21- ASOS
3. FLUZE floral clutch bag- £69- Ted Baker
4. Mikayo Nude Bodycon Dress With Mesh Detail- £24.99- Missguided

H & M release bargain wedding dress...

Well, seen as I am actually at a wedding today I thought it would be appropriate to share this post with you! Basically, H & M have just launched a 30's inspired bridal gown for a mere price tag of £59.99, now being someone who is absolutely addicted to Don't tell the bride, I know that this is one hell of a lot cheaper than your average wedding dress! To be perfectly honest, I actually love this dress! It is simple, yet the floral embellishment, fitted waist and pleated skirt  make this dress so perfect for a bride looking for something simplistic and inexpensive. However, I must admit that although I find this gorgeous, one day I will most certainly be looking for a big sparkling princess style wedding dress. This is not the first time that a high street store has released a bargain wedding dress, Topshop also did this in 2012, which have disappeared, I have high hopes for this dress however as Topshop tried to put a younger and more unique spin on the traditional wedding dress which may have made them a little less popular. After some online browsing I have also found some other high- street wedding dresses which are so beautiful, from stores such as Bhs, Debenhams and Next, for those who want an inexpensive alternative to dresses which cost up to, and over £1000! What do you think? :)
- 30's inspired wedding dress- £59.99- H & M
- Sofia long bridal dress- £150- Bhs
- Debut ivory pleated jersey maxi dress- £131.25- Debenhams
- Ivory lace dress- £70- Next

GET THE LOOK| Amy Willerton

A lot of my posts recently have centred upon spotting a celebrities look, and finding a similar high- street alternative, because lets face it, celebrities love to wear expensive designer clothes and I for one cannot afford to replicate their actual outfit choices! Therefore I have composed these posts in the hope of finding a very similar look for a high- street price tag, and on a budget. I must admit, when I sift through numerous online news and magazine stories mostly surrounding celebrities, I tend to focus upon what they are wearing and how they look, I love comparing their style choices and seeing which celebrities have a particular style. Amy Willerton is such a beautiful girl, and I find that her style is one which I really relate too, as she loves to be a bit girly in her fashion decisions. The outfit below caught my eye because I love how she has turned a summery playsuit into one which could definitely be worn in the colder months by teaming it with black tights, ankle boots and a faux fur jacket. I also love how she has accessorized to dress the outfit up a bit with a beautiful statement necklace, bag and belt to synch in the waist. What do you think of my high street finds? Do you like this look? :)
 
1.Jenny chiffon cross over dress in purple- £24.99- Missguided
2. Burgundy cracked clean western belt- £18- Topshop
3. Curb chain and pearl necklace- £22- Oasis
4. Whistles Marylin side zip ankle boots- £155- ASOS
5. Black faux fur jacket- £45- Dorothy Perkins
6. Merino zip pocket luggage bag- £50- Topshop

When browsing Daily Mail website (an everyday occurrence) I was flicking through all the stories of what celebs have been spotted wearing as usual, and came across Alesha Dixon's outfit which really caught my eye, she looks beautiful! She has been spotted at the Britain's Got Talent auditions in Cardiff with Amanda Holden, and is seen wearing one of the seasons most sought after coats, a pink overcoat from luxurious label Whistles which is also a key colour for the spring season, it is just so versatile! Alesha has accompanied her coat with blush coloured trousers, plain white top, snake skin heels, leopard print scarf and chain necklace & bracelet. This post also relates to my other post of the day about these style of coats which can be found below.
