Perfect the prim look in a pussybow blouse

Sunday, March 23, 2014

Kim Kardashian was a vision in cream, as she stepped out with fiance Kanye West in New York on Monday.

Wearing an almost-golden cream silk blouse tucked into a pair of high-waisted cropped trousers, with her favourite oversized Celine coat thrown over the top, she shone out on the crowded New York street.


Since she began dating Kanye West, Kim has undergone a serious style makeover. And this outfit, with it's neutral shades, classic shapes and luxe fabrics, is typical of her new, timeless look.

Glowing in all its silky glory, there's no denying that Kim's blouse steals the show.

Pussybow blouses are a rather old fashioned and prim style (Margaret Thatcher was a fan), but they're seeing a resurgence, with the likes of Victoria Beckham, Lanvin and Dolce & Gabbana all putting them on the catwalk in recent years.

Like Kim we'd wear ours tucked into a pair of cropped trousers, for a smart yet modern office look.

Check out our edit of the best cream pussybow blouses on the high street, in the gallery below.

Update your look with Kim's leather blazer

This is pretty standard fayre when it comes to a Kim Kardashian outfit.
Pencil skirt? Check. Tom Ford heels? Check. Cleavage baring top? Check. Bottega Venetta clutch? Check. The only new addition we can see to this familiar line up is the fabulous and very covetable leather blazer.

It's by super high end label Balmain, something you can tell from the giveaway signature gold buttons. When you think of a leather jacket you normally imagine a biker or even a bomber but this is a cool take on the more traditional blazer cut.
And the bonus is, you can buy it. If you have £2677 to spare then click the link (right) to get it now from the Balmain online store. It's a massive investment but if you've got a Kardashian sized budget then why not?
For the rest of us let's reduce costs and see what the high street has for us. G-Star does a mid range look or try Vila's blazer with faux leather sleeves. Then style it over jeans or as an edgy cover up for your little black dress

Crop right now with Mel B's colourblock top

Melanie B’s toned yet curvey body has to be one of the best in showbiz. Even though she’s 38, the former Spice Girl looks as good as the young whipper snappers topping the charts today - as evidenced by her toned abs in these pics. Goes to show you what loads of exercise can do for you…

Speaking of exercise, it’s time to start doing those crunches ladies - the warm weather is coming and crop tops are on trend again this season. And, as Mel B proves, they’re not only for teenagers; if you do them right they can look mature and chic. Just make sure you only show the tiniest bit of skin and keep the rest of your look demure.
Mel’s top is by American label A.L.C, and you can get it by clicking right. It’s not too pricey at £167, but if you think it’s a bit much for such a small amount material, check out our edit of cheaper colourblock crop tops below. Wear with a high waisted skirt or pants like Mel and you won’t even have too bare that much of your belly!

Try a Hawaiian print shirt for Summer like Lucy

When she was on the live shows during the X Factor, Lucy Spraggan certainly made a mark not only with her music, but with her style too. Staying true to herself was always paramount, and since leaving, she's stuck to her mantra. And here we think she might be showing us what to expect of her wardrobe come Summer.

Hawaiian print shirts have, up until recently, been associated with sunburnt Brits abroad (think TV programme Benidorm), but since Prada made the print fashionable, they've been everywhere. Lucy's bright turquoise option is a corker!
We're pretty sure this is a vintage buy, and possibly even a men's shirt, but we do love firstly Lucy's confidence to pull this off, and secondly how she's teamed it with black denim shorts.
They are one of those wardrobe pieces that are so wrong they're right, and now is the time to try out the trend too. We love the palm trees in Lucy's and we also love them in the below Les Prairies de Paris option. And that Topman shirt is a good buy too!
Enjoy experimenting!

Make like Kate Middleton in a chic navy dress

She's known for promoting her own designs so much she gives Victoria Beckham a run for her money.
And Amy Child's didn't let the side down with her latest outfit, as she stepped out looking groomed and glossy in a gathered navy dress from, you guessed it, her own collection.
Sales of navy dresses have soared since Kate Middleton and Prince William's
engagement photos. We're putting it down to navy's ability to flatter all skin tones, and nothing to do with the prospect of bagging a Prince for a husband.
Amy's dress is perfect for curvy girls, as the V neck will flatter your bust, the gathering will disguise a round tummy and the tailored cut will hug you in all the right places.

Look schermazing in Sam's Nicole for Missguided jumpsuit

Sam Faiers snapped up one of the high street's most talked about collaborations for her night on the tiles!
The TOWIE star was spotted out wearing not one, but two outfits from Nicole Scherzinger's collection for Missguided.

Earlier in the evening Sam nailed the sportswear trend in the range's white cut out dress, but we're loving her second outfit - the super cool jumpsuit in cobalt blue, which she teamed with a Chanel handbag and metallic platforms. Did someone say D-I-S-C-O?
Cobalt blue hues were all over the catwalks at Michael Kors, Chloe and Celine, and a jumpsuit like Sam's is perfect to wear for parties and daytime events alike. Team with metallic accessories a la Sam, go tailored by draping a white blazer over your shoulders, or even dress it down by layering a sporty grey sweatshirt over the top and adding cool sneakers.
Shop Sam's jumpsuit by clicking to the right, and see below for the high street's best blue jumpsuits with prices starting from just £40.

Wow the crowds in a show-stopping red dress

Jessica Wright sure knows how to make an entrance, doesn't she? The TOWIE fashionista was out last night in this wow factor red mini dress from Rare London. If she wanted attention, she definitely got it in this little number.

An LRD (Little Red Dress) is one of Jessica's favourite things to wear. We've spotted her out and about in many different options, usually mini in length. And it just so happens that the colour looks great on her, especially when she matches her lips to her outfit.
This Rare London dress is probably one of her most... revealing. The sweetheart neckline gives a flash of cleavage and the super short length shows off her famous pins. And she's working a nude shoe too, which is a great styling tip to lengthen your legs even more.
What you can't really see from these pictures is that, in fact, the straps not only feature the spikes, but also coloured jewels for that extra added bit of glamour - as if she needed it! A fun furry bag finished her look.
You can buy Jessica's dress on the right, or take a look at some other options below.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock shows off her TINY figure as she bares her stomach in a bra top for Little Mix appearance

They've been working hard supporting Demi Lovato on her Neon Lights tour and are now gearing up for their own arena tour.
And Little Mix displayed the results of such an energetic routine as they showed off their slim figures at the ITV studios on Friday.
Who's the fairest of them all? Little Mix looked stunning in their outfits as they arrived at the ITV studios on Friday morning for an interview on This Morning
Leigh-Anne Pinnock led the way as she drew attention to her enviably flat stomach in a white crossover bra top with a pair of patterned silk trousers and a
similar patterned jacket.

The 22-year-old teamed her outfit with green printed sandals and hoop earrings, with green nail varnish and brown lipstick.
However, it was her tiny waist that really caught the eye - with Leigh-Anne grinning as she drew attention to her washboard abs by posing with her hand on her hips.
Jade Thirlwall, 21, also opted for a stomach-baring outfit in a patterned two-piece consisting of a cropped top and high-waisted trousers - flashing just a hint of toned tummy.   

Ditching her Nicole Scherzinger dress for an electric blue jumpsuit, TOWIE's Sam Faiers wears two outfits in one night as she parties in central London

They say a girl can never have too many clothes - which is a maxim TOWIE'S Sam Faiers clearly lives by. The TV star was seen wearing two different outfits in 24 hours as she partied in London on Saturday.
Starting off in a cream dress from Nicole Scherzinger's Missguided range, the blonde star, 23, turned heads as she watched ex-boyfriend, Lewis Bloor, fight Elliott Wright in a charity boxing match.
But, determined to pull some punches of her own, she soon underwent a costume change and wore an electric blue jumpsuit - also by Nicole - to a party in Cafe De Paris nighclub.
What a knockout! Sam Faiers looked sensational in a cream dress that fitted her like a glove as she watched former love Lewis Bloor in a sweaty boxing match with Elliott Wright on Saturday

Mother-of-two Coleen Rooney wows in a little black dress at the Tesco Mum of the Year Awards

There were plenty of famous faces and deserving winners when the Tesco Mum of the Year awards were held on Sunday at the Savoy Hotel.
As the Ambassador of the Tesco Mum of the Year Awards 2014, Coleen Rooney, lent her star presence to the proceedings.
Dressed in an LBD that was equally daring and demure at turns and with her hair pulled back off her face, Coleen looked very regal in appearance and a fine representation of what the awards were all about.

This is the ninth year that the Tesco Mum of The Year Awards have run. They are to honour women who, according to the supermarket chain, 'go above and beyond the call of duty to help others and are a wonderful way to recognise ordinary mums who do extraordinary things'.
As the event's ambassador, the position carries a lot of responsibility with it, but that something that's not new to Coleen, who is married to Manchester United and England footballer Wayne Rooney has two boys - Kai, aged four and Klay, six months.
'I am so excited to be involved with these awards and wanted to be part of this campaign to give it the recognition it deserves,' she explained on the awards website. 'There are so many truly inspirational, courageous and selfless mums out there who do an amazing job but have no idea how special they are. There were so many incredible mum nominated this year.'

Michelle Keegan shows off her pins as she heads to famous nightclub with fiancé Mark Wright

Michelle Keegan’s one of the hottest soap babes around, and she’s not afraid of showing off.
The 26-year-old Coronation Street actress was spotted out at Essex nightclub Faces with her fiancé Mark Wright, 27, on Saturday night.
The pair had been out supporting Mark’s cousin Elliot at a boxing fight, before heading to the local nightclub for a couple of drinks and a dance with friends.
What a pair: Michelle Keegan showed off her never-ending legs as she attended Faces nightclub in Essex on Saturday evening

Dressed in an eye-watering, thigh-skimming black dress Michelle
really wowed the crowds with her toned and tanned pins.
It will come as no surprise that the gorgeous soap star has been nominated for the Sexiest Female gong at the British Soap Awards 2014 for the sixth year in a row.
Walking along the street it was clear Michelle only had eyes for her former The Only Way Is Essex hunk Mark as she gazed at him lovingly.

Give your look a lift in Sam's Saint Laurent shoes

Saturday, March 22, 2014

Since Sam Faiers didn't spend too much on her Gorgeous Couture white jumpsuit, she could really afford to splash out a little when it came to her bag and shoes. And she definitely did that, because both her leopard print clutch and sky high heels are by Saint Laurent.

We just can't say it enough: the leg lengthening powers of nude shoes are second to none. And although these are a somewhat more extreme version of the ones loved by the likes of the Duchess of Cambridge, countless other celebrities have worn these iconic Tribtoo platform pumps.
Click (right) to snap up one of the few remaining sizes of Sam's shoes. They are even now reduced to £365 at Farfetch, so if you need one more reason to invest, just think, that's only £1 a day for a year. And since you'll never want to take them off we'll leave you to do the maths as to the price per wear ratio!
But you don't have to fork out a fortune, because the high street is hot on the heels of Saint Laurent. These Boohoo shoes are an absolute bargain (and you get an extra 10% off if you use the promo code MAILONLINE), or Asos' platforms will leave you walking tall.

Keep it chic in ankle strap platform heels by Carvela

As if Michelle Keegan's legs didn't look long enough in her Lavish Alice playsuit last night, she only went and paired it with these platform heels!
But since the loved-up actress has just returned from a holiday in Dubai with her Mr. Wright it's no wonder she wanted to show off her new tan, which these white and nude shoes definitely did.

They are by Carvela at Kurt Geiger and you can buy them by clicking the link (right) now. We love that the white straps are actually a subtle snakeskin texture and although they're also available in orange, neutral tones promise to lengthen those legs.
They wouldn't work particularly well on the cobbles of Coronation Street, but vertiginous heels give any look a lift and promise to take your style to supermodel heights.
But if the price of these platforms puts you off, there are plenty of options out there. Missguided has got a great match for Michelle's, or we're struggling to choose between these Topshop and Shellys London shoes.

Go for gold in a pair of thong sandals

Book your pedicure and get the pumice stones out ladies; your trotters need to look at the top of their game for the foot baring sandals that are a big trend this summer.
Today, Amy Adams got her feet out in some Tory Burch beauties in LA, which she styled with boyfriend jeans and a simple navy tee. The sandals have a cute bee decoration and are in a thong style - and no, we’re not talking about the underwear!

A thong sandal is one that has a strap that passes through the first and second toes, and exposes basically all of your foot. They’re perfect for really hot weather (which hopefully we’ll be experiencing this summer!), they're super comfy and they adapt to every style. A fashion no-brainer!
We were saddened to find that Amy’s shoes have already sold out, but we’ve found some similar golden wonders for our edit below. If you’re still hankering after a Tory Burch pair, we’ve included another pair from the designer, this time with an adorable flower decoration. Or, for something cheaper, go for ASOS's £12 bargain.

Work on your Victoria Secret bod in Rosie’s Nike trainers

If ever there was an inspiration to get yourself to the gym, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s body might be it. It would take three hours of cardio and two more of pilates a day to get her figure, but where there’s a will…
Well even if Rosie’s body is out of our reach, the good news is that her workout runners are easily accessible! You can get them from ASOS by clicking right, and we reckon they’re a great investment. They have excellent support and will add a pop of colour to your workout wardrobe - what's not to love?!

Plus, they’ll look marvellous with a pair of skinny jeans or, if you want to be super trendy and daring, a PVC skirt and a plain white t-shirt. Yes, if you haven't heard, sporty trainers are officially fashionable with any outfit - just look at the recent Chanel catwalk show!
Alternatively, we’ve picked for pink pretties for our edit below. Although we can’t guarantee they’ll give you a Victoria Secret Angel's body, they’re a great start to get your spring workout into action.

Pick up a peplum dress like Kim's

She might be queen of reality TV, but Kim Kardashian is also queen of the peplum. Once again, she steps out in a super structured dress that shows off her curves to perfection. And this time, it's one of her own... from the Kardashian Kollection.

But hang on, what's this? It's actually an old dress! You can't buy this one any more. Kim, it seems, is re-hashing some of her wardrobe. We've seen her do it time and time again lately, not that that's a bad thing - take our own Kate Middleton as an example on UK shores!
This dress has definitely got the va va voom factor. It's sexy sophistication, what with the flash of cleavage, the just-above-the-knee length and the accentuated waist panel.
Kim proves that we are not over peplums yet. Far from it. Only the other day did we spotted this Kardashian sister out in a similar style. We have to say, she works them very very well!
Get yourself a similar dress from the options below, and if you like the Boohoo option, you can get 10% off using code MAILONLINE

Keep up with Kim in co-ordinates by Calvin Klein

Fashion news flash! Kim Kardashian in a crop top and pencil skirt?
Of course, we have seen it all before and it’s pretty safe to say that Kim has found her signature style. In fact, she has even worn this exact outfit in the white version before. But we can see why she loves the look - that little flash of flesh is super flattering and shows off her curves to perfection.

Kim has had a huge influence on this trend. It's a bit like the fabled Kate Middleton effect (although we're not sure we'll see the Duchess of Cambridge in a co-ord combo any time soon!) and now every style maven worth their sartorial salt is trying it out. Only yesterday we spotted Millie Mackintosh debating the look in a Zara changing room.
This time Kim's knitted red combo is by Calvin Klein. Unfortunately, the top alone would set you back £1027, but it's actually now all sold out. Luckily though, we can all jump on the co-ord bandwagon for a fraction of the price on the high street. Look tip top in this crop combo from Topshop, or Love Label's ensemble is a total bargain and was worn by The Saturday's Vanessa White only last night

Your wedding is your chance to be a princess for the day so make sure your gown reflects your status!

Well it's finally happened. All that petitioning of US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour by Kanye West has paid off and he and Kim Kardashian have scored the cover of the style bible's April 2014 issue.

While Kanye gazes lovingly in the general direction of her shoulder - though admittedly his eyes may be directed a bit further down towards her enviable cleavage - Kim is resplendent in a Lanvin strapless fairytale style gown of ruched ivory.
We're not quite sure it it was custom made by Lanvin designer, Alber Elbaz, for the occasion but we suspect that this indeed may have been the case. Within the interior spread Kim also wears a feathered creation by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen which makes Fashion Finder think about the movie Black Swan. But we digress.
The whole concept of the shoot also makes us think about the first Sex and the City movie where Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw does her own Vogue wedding dress shoot before being spectacularly stood up at the altar by Mr Big. We're sure that won't happen in Kim's case though. The odds on divorce, however, should they happen to sell their wedding to Hello Magazine (unlikely) is another matter entirely.
For our own part we think the Coast dress is our favourite from the carousel. Now we just need to find someone to pop the question...

Refresh your workout wardrobe with Kim's leggings

Another day, another workout for Kim Kardashian. We’re rather tired of the yummy mummy showing us up with her exercise regime. Don’t you ever take a break and just sit on the couch all day in your pyjamas eating Doritos, Kim?! OK, just us then…

Unlike her red-carpet wardrobe, the reality star always keeps it simple when it comes to her workout gear. She’s a big fan of basic three-quarter leggings, and here she wears a pair from Splits 59.

Kim has a few pairs of leggings from the brand and Miranda Kerr has sported them before too. So what makes them an A-list must have? The label uses quick-dry sport performance, breathable fabrics that fit like a glove and are super comfy. Plus, their designs are always slick and modern. We all know Kim likes to look good!

You can get Kim’s workout leggings by clicking right. They’re an American company, but the good news is that they ship to the UK! Alternatively, shop our pick of the best three-quarter length leggings on the web below, and don’t forget to shave those legs!

Channel 50's glamour in an off-the-shoulder dress

With its retro-inspired silhouette, fitted bodice and flattering pencil skirt, Kylie’s little black dress is a perennial party classic. Channelling some serious Bridget Bardot vibes, she teamed it with statement black stilettos, a slick of lipstick and her famous coiffed locks.

Ever since her chic comeback on BBC’s The Voice, nineties pop princess Kylie Minogue has been firmly back on our fashion radar. And she’s wasted no time in reminding us what we’ve been missing, from her classic leg-enhancing LBDs, to her fetish for Dolce & Gabbana and sky high platform stilettos.
But, it was the black Gucci dress, which she wore for last week’s inaugural episode, that really had our sartorial pulses racing. This simple classic number can thankfully still be bought from Net-a-Porter. So if you’re keen to get Kylie’s popstar look, click on the link to the right to pick yours up before it’s too late. Alternatively, we’ve been doing some serious groundwork and chosen our favourite versions, some of which are even in the sale!

Team this simple lace dress from New Look (below) with minimal jewellery, a Hollywood-style blow dry and killer heels for a show-stopping party vibe.
