Peek inside Kim and Kanye’s American Vogue editorial

We’ve all seen the cover – and the various parodies – by now, so now it’s time to take a look inside the American Vogue April issue with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. We appreciate that the choice in cover stars might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but no one can deny how gorgeous  Kim K looks in the editorial, and just how adorable her daughter little North West is. You’d have to have a heart of stone not to melt a little inside! “I take pictures of her all the time and dress her up,” Kim said about her daughter. “I put Kanye’s big chains around her, and I put a little Louis bag and some Jordans, and I was like, ‘What up, Daddy?’” Now why wasn’t that picture in the editorial, hm? You can read the rest of the Hamish Bowles article and see more truly stunning pics of Kim and Kanye in the April issue of American Vogue which hits newsstands on March 31st. .

We’re still coming to terms with Kim Kardashian finally landing the cover of American Vogue‘s April issue with her hubby-to-be Mr Kanye West, but we haven’t forgotten about her stylish sis Khloe Kardashian either.

We love everything about this look; here’s how to get it for yourselves: Statement sweatshirt, $995, Alexander Wang available at SSENSE Jane leather ankle strap sandals, $795, Saint Laurent available at Forward Forward Nicola moto jeans, £261.46, J Brand available at Far Fetch Burgundy lip shine, £28, Sisley available at Liberty [Image]

Sibling rivalry: Which Kardashian deserves to land an American Vogue cover?

“To be in Vogue has to mean something,” stated Anna Wintour, and, well, she’s speaking the biblical truth. Campaigning for this prestigious right are two siblings from the world’s most talked about family/klan, depending on how you prefer to address them. Kim Kardashian – the queen of Céline separates and Tom Ford pieces so tight, they create curves ever she didn’t know existed– has kept the fashion set (and herself) guessing whether the coveted prize of cover girl shall be hers (let’s not forget, she’s already been L’uomo-d). From a lobbying partner, whom eventually got his beau to make an unforgettable entrance at the 2013 MET Gala – an event she had previously been banned from by Her Majesty Anna Wintour – to befriending Carine Roitfeld and scoring couture pieces (and front row seats) in Paris, earlier this year; Kim isn’t playing games, she’s ruddy serious. But then again, so is her twee-faced, doe-eyed, long-limbed sibling, Kendall Jenner. The upcoming model has been scoring some fashion hot seats of late. From a nipple-on-show performance at the Marc Jacobs autumn/winter 2014 show to walking for Giles in the Big Smoke, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with Anna Wintour at the Topshop Unique show and posing for a certified selfie with Delevingne and gang backstage; junior Jenner’s sure as hell making her mark in notable fashion circles.  And, all sans sexual controversies, slip-ups and stunts. So, who will be victorious in the race to win Wintour’s (steely) heart, and be the first to grace the glossy covers of the world’s most highly regarded fashion tome? Below, our strongest arguments for putting either sibling on the cover of American Vogue- or both, if Wintour’s feeling generous… Why Kim Kardashian? Luxury-appreciation factor: Kim sure knows the wow factor value of pairing the luxurious, most expensive of wardrobe pieces together […]

The Kardashians launch their first jewellery range… for Argos!

They may have dabbled in the odd bit of fashion jewellery in their respective collections for Dorothy Perkins and Lipsy, but now the Kardashian sisters are bringing out a dedicated jewellery line… and it’s heading straight to Argos! Yep, Kourtney, Kim and Khloe will be launching a Kardashian Kollection range of jewellery for British high street chain Argos next month, which means we don’t have very long to familiarise ourselves with the unique in-store ordering system. “As the only retailer to sell the entire collection in the UK, Argos is proud to be bringing the collection to UK fans,” said Alice Rigby, jewellery buyer for Argos. “The Kardashians are famous for their style and have unparalleled knowledge of the latest trends. This collection reflects their passion for glamour and style with bold shapes and intricate detailing. The collection will reportedly comprise of necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings, with the highest price point reaching just £35. The collection will be available in Argos stores from November 11th. You excited? [Daily Mail]

First look at the Kardashian x Lipsy collection

No beating around the bush, let’s get straight down to business and check out the first look at the new Kardashian x Lipsy collection that we’ve been itching to see as soon as the collaboration was announced. Kardashian girls Kourtney, Kim and Khloe can be seen proudly and seductively posing for Terry Richardson with some of the pieces in their new line, and as we predicted, it’s all about the glamorous partywear! Perfect for the upcoming party season! So what inspired the girls on their new line, you ask? Apparently some of our favourite high end designers if we are to believe Kim Kardashian… “Valentino and Isabel Marant aren’t really our style, but their influence is reflected in the collection,” Kim said. “That idea of casual comfort that people love inspired the fabrics – there’s a lot of stretch. “You know an Alaïa dress will hold and suck you in? I wanted to make pieces like that, pieces to make you feel really good about yourself.” Wearing Alaïa would indeed make us feel great about ourselves, and we have a feeling we might look and feel pretty spesh in the Kardashian for Lipsy collection too. With its bold red colours and leopard print designs, the collection’s definitely an attention-grabbing one to say the least. We didn’t expect any less! The Kardashian x Lipsy collection officially launches on October 24th. Who’s excited? [Vogue]

Keeping Up With the Kardashians coming to an end?

What are we going to do without our weekly Kardashian fix? Apparently according to sources, our fave E! show Keeping Up With the Kardashians will be coming to an end in 2015, as Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and ko (that’s “co” to everyone else) want time away from the cameras. “It has been the biggest reality franchise of all time,” a source said. “ Both Kim and Kris [Jenner] want to make sure they end on a high note, leaving fans wanting more, rather than try and stretch the show on for another few seasons and watch it die a death. “Plus, they are now moving on in their lives. Exploring new options and opportunities – Kim wants to be with her daughter and Kanye, while Kris wants to focus on being a talk show host and maybe start producing movies. She’s telling everyone that one day she will have an Oscar.” Somehow we actually think that momager Kris has a pretty good shot at producing movies. And just because the Kardashians aren’t going to be on our reality TV screens forever, doesn’t mean we aren’t going to be seeing them… We still have the Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy to look forward to this October, and we highly doubt that will be the last fashion collaboration the girls work on. Watch this space! [Glamour]

The Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy to land this October!

They’ve already taken over Dorothy Perkins, but the Kardashian ladies aren’t done with the British high street just yet. Kim, Kourtney and Khloe are now teaming up with Lipsy (always one of our first ports of call when it comes to fun party dresses!) for a brand spanking new collaboration. Sorry, kollaboration! “We’re so excited to announce the launch of Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy in the UK, Ireland, Russia and the Middle East this October,” Khloe Kardashian said. “We’re collaborating with Lipsy to bring a fresh new range of pieces and I can’t wait for the new line to hit stores.” As Khloe said, The Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy will land in October, and the pieces will reflect each of the sisters’ personal sartorial styles. Prices will reportedly range from £30 to £150, and we can expect everything from edgy biker jackets, dresses, crop tops, jumpsuits and more. “We always want to keep things fresh and exciting for our fans across the world and we can’t wait to see the response around these new pieces,” Kim Kardashian added. “There are some really stylish blazers for the fall, sexy evening dresses and statement pieces I can’t wait for everyone to see.” You can shop The Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy at Lipsy stores, online at Lipsy.co.uk, as well as online at Next.co.uk, Very.co.uk and House of Fraser. Exciting times! [Daily Mail]

Kourtney Kardashian’s peacock pretty in Vegas

We’ve been focusing on her younger sister Kim these past few months (mainly because we are monitoring her maternity style with hawk-eyes) but were mixing things up this Tuesday afternoon by giving some overdue attention to the gorgeous Kourtney Kardashian! Ever the style maven, Kourtney displayed a variety of trendy looks all in one go as she attended boyfriend Scott’s 30th birthday bash in Las Vegas. She embraced the lace trend with a long-sleeved lace blue top, which she tucked into a very daring ruffled peacock skirt. She completed her look by working her sleek brunette locks into an effortless top knot (another popular hairstyle among the fashion folk), a generous layer of blusher on her cheeks, and black pointy pumps. Lace detailing, peacock feathers, top knots… they’re all great on their own, but do they work when they’re combined? On paper we’d say no, but we think Kourtney just about manages to pull it off on this occasion. A petite frame, great pins and Kardashian genes all worked in her favour!

The Kardashians wish us a very Merry Khristmas 2012

Well this is a stark contrast to last year’s Christmas card from the Kardashian klan isn’t it? Sorry, clan – force of habit! 2011 was a bit doom and gloom for the Kardashians if their Christmas card was anything to go by, and that’s not really far off considering Kim Kardashian didn’t have the best romantic luck that year. Luckily for the Kardashians (and the people who actually get sent one of their Christmas cards) this year’s offering has a much more positive outlook. Gone are the haunting blue hues, as they have been replaced with something much purer and happier – we assume the way the family intend their 2013 to go. We wonder why Kanye West wasn’t part of the card though… what could he possibly have been doing on the day of the photoshoot? It’s not like he was too busy working on his new womenswear collection… [Image]

Klash of the Kardashians! Who styled the Valentino leather biker jacket better?

When a fash-off concerns two unrelated celebrities, it’s bearable. But when the clashers in question are sisters, things get a little hot under that Valentino collar (pardon the pun). Kim Kardashian and sister Kourtney stepped out in the same Valentino leather biker jacket (sold out on Net-A-Porter, we’ll have you know!), albeit not on the same day! (Can you imagine the horror?!). Both sisters put their personal stamp on the buttery soft, lambskin leather beauty, giving us two very different looks. Older sis and mum-of-two, Kourtney went for all black, pairing hers with a draped dress, a Hermès Birkin bag and Valentino Ruffle boots. But boring it was not, as Kourtney added exciting accents to her look with a bright red lip and a super-cute leopard print furry beret. Also going for all black, camera-loving Kim adopted a Kanye-inspired and somewhat worrying look. She paired her jacket with leather leggings, a Céline Crocodile Luggage Phantom Tote (the sisters definitely share a penchant for uber-expensive arm candy!) and Kanye West Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneakers, natch. Sibling rivalry can get pretty ugly, but we can only go with one of the K’s on this one… Sorry Kim, but Kourtney’s perfect grunge-luxe mix style steals the show! Kim, we love the top-knot and, of course, that beauty of a Valentino biker, but please ditch those sneakers, even though your beau has a lot to do with them! Which look are you digging, Kim’s or Kourtney’s?

Our top 5 picks from the Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins

As you may well know, the Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins is now right out in selected DP stores and on the website. We were quite impressed with what Kim Kardashian and sisters Khloe and Kourtney cooked up, and found ourselves quite overwhelmed with choice when it came down to choosing what pieces to buy. We decided to make it a bit easier for you just in case you found yourselves in the same boat, and selected five of our ultimate favourite pieces from the collection. Feel free to use our selections as a rough shopping guide, and let us know what you bought from the collection. 1. Kardashian black mesh dress Everyone needs a little black dress in their wardrobes  – we all know how much Kim Kardashian loves and swears by  them – and this is the perfect little number. Classic, figure-hugging, with a bit of a twist on the old favourite with the mesh polka dot inserts and shoulder pads.  Kardashian green collar blouse There are a few other similar blouses to this in the collection, but this one stands out a mile for all the right reasons. It’s always nice to mix it up a bit, and it’s a great colour for the upcoming festive season. Great to wear casually with leggings, or tucked into a high-waisted skirt or trousers for a more chic and elegant look. 3. Kardashian gold sequin jacket A jacket is the ultimate last-minute style addition that instantly vamps up an outfit. It can make an outfit smart, sexy, or just add some much needed sparkle to it – and this jacket does all three. Wear on a night out to keep out the chill, wear it to the office on Monday morning to brighten the place and your mood, and wear […]

First look at the Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins

Rihanna isn’t the only American babe to come and take over our British high street. The Bajan singer may be working on her own clothing line with River Island, but Kourtney, Kim and Khloe, otherwise known as the Kardashian sisters, are bringing their style to Dorothy Perkins. And it’s now time to take a look at some of the pieces in the rather aptly named “Kardashian Kollection”… This is a really diverse and versatile collection; Kim Kardashian and her sisters have been very smart about ensuring that there’s something in there for everyone. From stylish coats and jackets, to statement bags, to Christmas party-ready dresses to all else in between, this collection seems to have it all. The clothes reportedly reflect each of their characters and their own personal styles, although we know that none of the girls can resist a bit of glam , which is evident in all of the pieces! What do you think of some of our favourite items that we’ve highlighted? We think the dresses are particularly stunning, and we predict they’re going to be pretty flattering too. We all want to achieve that famous Kardashian silhouette! Are you tempted by anything? If you’re a massive fan and want to meet the girls, they will all be at Westfield this Saturday doing signings; the first 500 people to arrive will receive a numbered wristband to be eligible to enter the queue, so set your alarms and head down there early to make sure you don’t miss out! The Kardashian Kollection will be available in selected Dorothy Perkins stores and online from the Thursday November 8th. Shop the Kardashian Kollection now! [Images]

Has Kanye turned Kim into a demure goddess?

“Where have they gone?” I euphemistically and, rather rhetorically, ask myself every time I lay eyes on a post-‘Kimye’ Kim Kardashian. As the world became aware of the blossoming love between the blatant romance-deniers, I’ve become aware of Kim’s increasingly demure and understated wardrobe. A monochrome palette (similar to her beau’s); sleek cuts; ladylike peplums; below-the-knee dresses; sensible fashion choices at Cannes; copious amounts of uber-expensive-looking leather and cleavage concealing necklines have all made the rounds; and I’ve decided that I actually quite like the stylistically ‘born again’ Kim. Regularly seen in barely breathable, bust-enhancing, waist-reducing Hervé Léger bandage numbers, post divorce; Kim’s comeback as the Rapper’s Girlfriend hasn’t entirely been put down to personal effort. This is not to say I disliked Kim’s previous barely-there style, but I wonder if claims that dating Kanye West has improved her wardrobe actually hold any truth. Well, to figure that out, let’s begin with Kanye’s personal approach to style, his fashionable affiliations and, of course, his venture into fashion. Partial to a blazer, slouchy leather pants and eye-hurting sneakers, Kanye’s love of Givenchy, a blossoming friendship with creative director of said fashion house, Riccardo Tisci, and an eponymous fashion label with a rather dismal debut at Paris Fashion Week two seasons ago prove his fashionable inclinations. Given that, Kanye rather famously attended last month’s Met Ball sans Kim – a warning of sorts from the God of fashion, Anna Wintour, and the fact that Kim’s less-than-credible celebrity status – described in W magazine as the ‘fine art of playing herself – (a perfectly money-spinning method, may I add); does Kanye feel inclined to help bump up his beau’s credibility through influencing her style? Does he feel she’ll be taken ‘seriously’ by the inner circles of super-stardom if there’s more monochrome than major-boobage on […]

Who wore it best? The Kardashians in their Kollection

The Kardashians are one clan who are closer than your average siblings. They share their lives, their jobs and now, their wardrobes. Is it time for a bit of sibling rivalry in the family? Kim, Khloe and Kourtney recently collaborated on a ‘Kollection‘ for US store Sears, and it seems the sisters have decided the best way to gain publicity for the brand is to, well, wear it themselves.  All three socialite sisters have been seen out in at least two outfits from their new Kollection, the first being a lace look compromising a long-sleeved lace top with an oversized silky pussybow teamed with a silky lace-edged skirt. Kourtney chose to wear the nude version to the launch party of the Kardashian Kollection in LA. Looking lady-like, she added black T-bar heels and swept her locks up. Khloe also went for the demure nude colouring, and also chose black heels, but left her locks natural and flowing and swapped the black bow for a slinky champagne colour. Kim was the odd one out here, opting for the dramatic ensemble in black and adding a dash of colour with a green bag and snakeskin heels. The Kardashian publicity train doesn’t stop there, either – younger sibling Kylie Jenner was drafted in to publicise the Kollection by mix and matching the outfit worn by her sisters. Question is, which Kardashian wore the lace look best? Kim’s dark and dramatic look, or Khloe and Kourtney’s neat nude style? [poll id=”210″]

Kardashian Kollection for Sears: A Khronic Presale Kompliation

Back in January, amply endowed Kim Kardashian waxed lyrical on her blog about the sisters’ forthcoming venture with US retail store, Sears. The sibling trio have produced a namesake ‘Kollection’ to be sold at over 700 stores across the country, offering everything from lingerie, apparel, jewellery, handbags, wallets and shoes. It makes me wonder: when do these girls procrastinate? Ever? Having just landed at Sears, we decided to rummage the here to view the collection…

It’s off-duty glamour for the Kardashians

Keeping Up with the Kardashians is one of our guilty pleasures. There, we said it. Watching the Armenian socialities run riot round their mother’s house is always amusing, but since the show first aired, we’ve been keeping a keen eye on the girls’ style – it’s rarely appropriate and never looks comfortable, but it’s always super glam. And even when the Kardashian sisters are off duty, they’re still poised to perfection. Spotted out lunching in LA last week, Kim and Kourtney were looking better than ever. We love Kourtney’s open weave sweater with black skinnies, but it’s Kim’s effortless floppy hat, crisp white shirt and turned up jeans that really stand out for us. We’re loving their fierce heels, too. You’ve got to admire their dedication to their Louboutins – we’d be seriously disappointed if we ever saw one of these girls in flip flops. Do you like Kim and Kourtney’s look? Cool or class-less? [poll id=”80″]

Kim sinks her teeth into a new look

Kim Kardashian has shown off her new “creepy” vampire make-up. The brunette reality TV star bizarrely decided to swap her usual bronzing products for a ghoulish pale look – even hiding her dark eyebrows for the ‘Twilight’ inspired makeover. Below a picture of her face, Kim wrote on her official blog yesterday: “Since vampires are all the rage right now, Troy Jensen and I thought it would be cool to try out a more gothic, almost sinister look! “This look was inspired by Prada’s fall 2009 runway show and it is so unlike anything I’ve ever done! And no, I didn’t actually get rid of my eyebrows, haha. Troy used an eyebrow concealing wax to hide them!

Lose weight like the Kardashians

Kim and Khloe Kardashian are launching their own diet cleanse. The US reality TV stars have created the supplement, called Quick Trim, with GNC (General Nutrition Center) and Kim insists it is the only product of its type she has been able to use. She said: “It’s a lemonade-based cleanse. It’s ready to go! Khloe has lost 20lbs off it. I tried the pepper ones for literally half a day. I couldn’t stick to it! But I can totally do this.” Khloe, 25, is thrilled with her new toned figure, but added the change in her physique is also down to a new fitness regime.

Top 20 Most Expensive Clothing Brands In The World

The most expensive clothing brands in the world command eye-watering prices. They attract luxury shoppers seeking access to prestige, quality craftsmanship, and exclusivity that generic clothes simply can’t match. While not everyone can afford to spend thousands on a designer handbag or ballgown, the top fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and Hermès remain powerful cultural forces driving runway trends and influencing consumer desire. Owning an iconic Louis Vuitton monogram bag or Valentino red evening dress represents the pinnacle of fashion for many, even if the prices exist in a different universe than most people’s budgets. But for the ultra wealthy who can afford it, dropping tens or hundreds of thousands on couture offers entry into an elite circle dripping in glamour. In our guide, we explore the history, recognizable styles, and stratospheric price points of the 20 most expensive clothing brands that the rich, famous and fashionable clamor for each season. 20 Most Expensive Clothing Brands In The World 1. Louis Vuitton As one of the most recognizable luxury brands in the world, Louis Vuitton has come to symbolize both fashion-forward style mixed with a heritage stretching back over a century. Originally founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton as a luggage and leather goods company, the French fashion house grew to international fame by creating durable, stackable trunks that could withstand transatlantic journeys. In 1896, Louis Vuitton’s son Georges introduced the iconic LV Monogram canvas pattern, those brown and beige initials that scream luxury. While travel goods remain a core part of Louis Vuitton’s business, current creative director Nicolas Ghesquière also produces ready-to-wear collections worn by A-list celebrities. Expect to pay at least $2,000 for a handbag or leather wallet. 2.

Top 50 Fashion Designers In The World

Ever wondered who the top 50 fashion designers in the world are? Well, wonder no more. We’ve put together a list most famous fashion designers from around the globe. From past icons to current trailblazers who are setting the trends right now, here’s a comprehensive deep dive into the best fashion designers without whom the fashion industry just wouldn’t be the same. 1. Coco Chanel If there’s one iconic fashion designer who’s influenced the industry more than any other, it’s definitely Coco Chanel. She brought something new to the table, freeing women from the restrictions of frills and corsets, instead offering up simple, comfortable styles. And today, more than 50 years after her passing, her influence is still felt. Coco Chanel’s early life wasn’t an easy one, marked by tragedy and hardship. Her mother passed away when she was young, and she and her siblings had to be raised at an orphanage. Despite everything, Chanel was determined to make a name for herself in the world. Her designs stood out from the crowd, effortless and refined. She transformed fabrics that were traditionally associated with men’s clothing, like tweed and jersey, into chic, comfy pieces for women. The late designer will always be remembered for her creation of the little black dress, which is still a wardrobe staple for many. Chanel also branched out into the fragrance industry, launching her famous Chanel No. 5 perfume in 1921. She was a trendsetter in more ways than one, using groundbreaking marketing techniques to promote her work. And even now, you can spot her signature CC logo anywhere. 2. Giorgio Armani Giorgio Armani is a name that screams luxury and style, and this Italian designer has been a prominent figure in fashion since the 70s. Born in Piacenza, Italy, in 1934, Armani initially studied […]

An Ultimate Guide To Dressing Your Hourglass Body Shape

 So, you’ve got an hourglass figure, huh? Lucky you! This is one of the least common body shapes making it extremely sought after. And when it comes to famous hourglass figure icons, there’s no shortage of stunning examples. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and remember Hollywood legends like Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren, who epitomized the classic hourglass shape and always dressed to impress. Fast forward to today, and we’ve got some more contemporary celebs flaunting their beautiful curves. Think Christina Hendricks, Dita Von Teese, Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson, Salma Hayek, and Jennifer Lopez… Now we’re guessing you clicked on this article because you want to know how to dress for your body. And we also know dressing an hourglass can be a bit intimidating…That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you every step of the way! First we’ll start by identifying if you truly have an hourglass body or if you’re more of an inverted triangle (hey, both gorgeous shapes!) before diving into the styling tips and tricks you need to show off your upper body, cinch in that waist, and flaunt your feminine curves. Definition of the hourglass body shape An hourglass silhouette is all about curves in the right places, a fuller bust and hips, petite waist, plus wider shoulders for true symmetry. It’s common to mistake this shape for the inverted triangle or rectangle. How can you tell them apart? Easy! The key difference is the balance between the upper and lower body. An hourglass shape has equal proportions, while inverted triangles have wider shoulders and rectangles have less defined curves. How to tell if you have an hourglass figure If you want to be absolutely sure you’ve got an hourglass body shape, grab a measuring tape and note down your bust and hip measurements. […]

8 Easy Ways to Imitate Your Fave Celeb’s Style

Unsure how to level up your style while sticking to a strict budget? The tips below can help! First Things First: Check Out Key Celeb Trends The first step to nailing your favorite celeb’s style is… to know your favorite celeb’s style! Whether it’s Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, or Florence Pugh, looking up your favorite celebrity’s history or bio can help you understand their lifestyle and taste. Additionally, you might use several sources – including official Instagram profiles and specialized online magazines like SoJones – to gain insights into how your favorite celebrity loves to dress.  Choose High-Quality Materials  So, you might be looking to start dressing like your favorite celebrity, but your budget doesn’t stretch to expensive designer clothes and luxury brands. How can you overcome this hurdle? Luckily, there’s a simple rule that can help you elevate any outfit: always choose high-quality materials! While high-street retailers do a great job at imitating haute couture clothes, they are often manufactured in lower-quality materials to increase affordability.  Instead of falling for this gimmick, choose high-quality items from small boutiques. You might not be able to copy your favorite celebrity’s outfits – but you can certainly add elegance to your current style! Invest in Tailored Clothing Items Another great option to imitate a VIP’s closet is to invest in tailor-made clothes.

Curl the ends a little and add some texture – 2021 is all about the body!  Have you been waiting for a sign to cut your hair short? Here it is – get inspired by the recent look by Gucci. You can make that hairstyle at home; just ensure that you have scissors that make precise cuts – look for them on the websites of professional hair styling shops – like, for example, Scissor Tec. If you prefer classics and want to avoid mistakes at any cost, try a chin-length bob (also known as French bob). And don’t forget about the bangs if you want to try something different!  Choppy Pixies One of the most stylish 2021 hairstyles is a pixie. Always wanted to try it but never actually had the guts to do it? Now it’s high time! Try to make it a little longer than classic Audrey pixie, […]

How Fashion Nova is at the Forefront of Ultra-Fast Fashion

Compared to today, the fashion world used to move at a snail’s pace. Designers would spend ages planning out their collections for each of the four seasons, trying to predict what might be fashionable in the next several months. After their collections debuted on the world’s biggest runways, their styles would trickle down from high end retailers to the department stores before they finally ended up on the bargain sale rack. The lifespan of a trend could sometimes be six months up to a year.  In the digital age, life moves much faster, and so do trends. These days, ultra-fast fashion is the name of the game, and Fashion Nova is clearly winning. The retailer, which launched with one Los Angeles-based store in 2006 and now has a massive online presence, pushes the boundaries when it comes to speed, consumer engagement, and customer satisfaction.  What makes Fashion Nova the leader in ultra-fast fashion is their unique ability to mobilize their partners and provide trendy clothing faster than you can say “Millennial Pink”. Their design and buying team works with more than 1000 manufacturers globally to produce quality, affordable clothing at unmatched speeds. Fashion Nova’s Los Angeles based manufacturers can create desired samples within 24 hours. Usually within 48 hours, the looks are completed, fitted on in-house models, and shot for Fashion Nova’s massively trafficked website.  These styles have easy to search names like “Classy and Sassy” and “Bad Girls Club,” so if a customer sees something they like featured on Instagram, they don’t have to type in a long complicated serial number to find it on the website. Additionally, if the look is not yet available, customers can ask to be notified when a piece is in stock. When a highly anticipated look does hit the site, it can sell […]

The Most Extravagant Engagement Rings Ever

Sometimes, when presenting a ring that will propel you and your partner into a new life together, you don’t just want to give them a symbol. You want to give then a monument. You want to give them the kind of ring that can be seen from space. Now, you could take a look at Tacori, who knows how to do extravagant very well. But first, take a look at these majestic designs and the hands they have graced. Victoria Beckham “Posh” Beckham has certainly lived up to her nickname. When David proposed, he did so with over ten rings, the most prominent being a 3-carat marquise cut diamond on a yellow gold band with a cost of $85,000 (£60,000).  Beyonce Beyonce’s marriage proposal was a musical powerhouse with Jay-Z proposing with an 18-carat, emerald cut diamond solitaire ring, with a value estimate of $5 million. Mariah Carey Though the wedding may have been called off, that didn’t stop the proposal from being a sparkling one, with James Packer presenting Mariah Carey a 35-carat, emerald cut diamond ring that cost $10 million, standing tall as the most expensive engagement ring in recorded history. Kim Kardashian West Kanye West wanted it to be a celebration to remember for his future bride. And what is more memorable than pulling out a 15-carat cushion cut diamond ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz. It is estimated to have cost between $7 and $8 million. Grace Kelly When the movie star received a marriage proposal from Prince Rainer III of Monaco, she received a 10.47-carat, emerald cut diamond ring made by Cartier, with a price estimate of $4.3 million. The ring can be glimpsed in Kelly’s final theatrical film High Society. Jackie Kennedy The former First Lady received a mighty gem from her second husband, Aristotle […]

How To Wear A Jumpsuit To A Wedding?

Fuss-free and easy to dance in. The jumpsuit is as functional as it is stylish. Perhaps that’s why we adore this all-in-one hero piece so damn much. Granted we do love a statement dress, but it has to be said, there are those pesky days when we’re unapologetically lazy and just can’t be bothered to shave our legs. It’s on those days that the mere thought of removing unwanted hair makes us want to take a nap…a long nap. Requiring minimal effort and offering head-turning results in return, the jumpsuit is the perfect wedding guest outfit when you’re feeling more Solange as opposed to Kim Kardashian West. While the silky voice songstress takes a relaxed and chic approach to fashion, the reality t.v star and entrepreneur is the epitome of glam all day, everyday. Which let’s face it can be exhausting. Take a leaf out of Solange’s style book and adopt a stylish yet comfy style this wedding season with a jumpsuit. See below for our top picks. A beautifully fitted jumpsuit will serve you well for years to come. Avoid a cropped-leg style if you’re on the tall side. Instead opt for a wide or a straight-leg such as this floral, sleeveless beauty available at wearall.com. …..or this pretty crepe strappy shouldered jumpsuit. Cinch at the waist with a skinny belt and style with gold hooped earrings. Nail your look with killer heels and a chic box clutch. If you’re on the shorter side, culottes are ideal. Instantly flattering this gingham palazzo jumpsuit with it’s eye-catching print is both on-trend and super cute. Keep accessories to a minimum and your make-up striking. Are you more of a summer floral kinda gal? If so look no further than this tropical print strapless jumpsuit. Team with gold strappy heels and a […]

Nope. You Don’t Have To Be A Stick Thin Supermodel To Pull Off The Slip Dress

….Curvy gals can get in on the action too. Mrs Kim Kardashian-West proved this beautifully during her recent stay in London. Kim showed off her assets in a simple yet stunning black slip dress which complemented her figure perfectly. And, while we don’t approve of her choice of footwear, there’s no denying that she looks amazing. Not sure how to wear the slip dress? When it comes to styling the popular 90’s trend of wearing nightwear as daywear, take a leaf out of supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s book. While attending the Marks & Spencer Summer Ball last week, Rosie teamed her floral lingerie inspired gown (from her AW16 range with the retailer) with glam strappy heeled sandals. Prefer a more casual look?Then wear with trainers and a denim or bomber jacket for effortless chic.

Our 10 Best Dressed at the Met Gala 2015

Anyone else disappointed with the red carpet at this year’s Met Gala? We’re not sure if we just had really high expectations but we can’t say we were floored by any of the outfits. Celebrating the start of the exhibition which runs from 7th May to 16th August, and showcases the work of 40 designers inspired by Chinese culture and art, the theme was China: Through the Looking Glass. In theory, with the prospect of East meeting West, this should have been a great opportunity for the celebs to go all out with the fun and drama. But, sadly no. The majority played it safe or nude. As we’ve seen in previous years, there’s a fine line between fashion forward and tacky, and this year while their bodies were to die for, Beyoncé and JLo pretty much pushed the sheer envelope way beyond the line. Kim K on the other hand managed to get it just right in Peter Dundas’ first creation for Roberto Cavalli while Rihanna was effortlessly on theme in a stunning handmade gown (which took 2 years to make) by Guo Pei. At this point, we’d like to draw your attention to someone who in our opinion is a major style icon in the making – Zendaya. The young starlet was absolutely flawless in Fausto Puglisi and we predict big things to come from the gorgeous actress and singer. On that note, here’s our 10 best dressed Xin Lei in Alexander McQueenRosie Huntington-Whiteley in VersaceRihanna in Guo Pei Poppy Delevingne in Marchesa Kim Kardashian in Roberto Cavalli Kendall Jenner in Calvin Klein Kate Hudson in Michael Kors Karolina Kurkova in custom Tommy Hilfiger Jessica Hart in Valentino Zendaya in Fausto Puglisi

10 Amazing Celebrity Cars

Something all good celebrities keep in mind is that if you’re earning mega-bucks, it’s important to spend it well. That doesn’t mean on fine wine or strategic offshore investments. People, fans, want to see their heroes blowing their money in spectacular fashion. And one of the most popular ways to do that is on cars. Even if, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, they have a large brood of kids, you can be sure that whatever people carrier they drive is going to be thoroughly pimped. Here are 10 of the very best celebrity motors… Chris Evans The carrot-topped radio presenter famously scored a fortune when he sold his production company, and went on to blow a lot of it in the best way possible – in the pub with his mates, and on wooing the lovely Billie Piper. But Evans is also a renowned car lover and he has several enviable vehicles in his collection, including a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO he reportedly bought at auction for an amount in the region of… hold your breath, £12 million. David Beckham Another Brit doing us all proud is Golden Balls himself. While us mere mortals head to Tyre-Shopper to pimp out of cars, before he sold it, his Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead was customised with a completely black exterior, including the Spirit of Ecstasy. The interior was tricked out with white leather, supposedly embroidered with his former Real Madrid shirt number, 23, and gorgeous teak decking. A top-of-the-range multimedia system was installed to keep the kids entertained, and beneath the hood, a 453HP V12 engine with 6 speed automatic transmission. So, not exactly a Focus! Jerry Seinfeld Estimates vary on how many Porsches Seinfeld has in his huge car collection, but the general consensus seems to be at least 40, possibly […]

5 tips for updating your wardrobe without breaking the bank

It’s true that not all of us have access to the world’s top designers or Kim Kardashian’s bank balance for that matter, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a wardrobe to rival the rich and famous….even if we are on a budget.  In fact, with a little research and a bit of planning, you too can have an enviable clothing collection. Here are our 5 essential tips for updating your look without breaking the bank. 1. What style do you want? Now more than ever branding has never been more important and our image communicates our message. So, first things first. Write a couple of sentences to describe your personality and the image you’d like to portray. Reflect on which style icons best embody the look you’re going for and source as many relevant images as possible for inspiration.  Pinterest and style.com are great places to source pictures. 2. Which trends do you want to play around with?  The great thing about fashion being so fast-paced today is not only the wealth of information we have access to but we’re updated on the trends right after the shows. This makes planning ahead so much easier. Decide which trends you’d like to play around with as well as the trends that are in line with your new image.  3. Make a list OK, so you know the look you want and the trends you’d like to channel. Now it’s time to make a list. Start with the essentials you’ll need, e.g:- a classic t-shirt, a cardigan, and a great pair of skinny jeans, followed by the more trendy pieces required to complete your wardrobe. 4. Have a major edit. There’s no sentimentality allowed when it comes to the edit. It doesn’t matter if you purchased that dress at 50% off or if those shoes were […]

Kylie Jenner finally addresses those lip surgery rumours!

Kim Kardashian’s booty has had its time in the spotlight, as the world’s obsession seems to have shifted to her younger sister Kylie Jenner’s lips. The internet has gone well and truly mad over the youngest Jenner girl’s lips these past few months, with many people suggesting that her voluptuous pout can’t just be down to good make-up skills and Photoshop, and is actually down to “surgical help”… Well Kylie seems to be a bit fed up of all the rumours, so has decided to address them head on by taking to Twitter: “How long are we gonna talk about this lip thing lmao “Let’s get a our lives together guys and talk about some important sh-t. Just talk about something new at least. I’m bored. “These plastic surgery rumors hurt my feelings to be honest and are kinda insulting.” OK, so she hasn’t exactly given us a definitive answer, but we don’t think she’s going to at this rate. Maybe she will spill the beans at a later date; in her autobiography perhaps? Where do you stand on the matter? Do you think Kylie Jenner has had surgery or lip fillers? [Glamour]

Paris Fashion Week SS15 highlights from Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, and Celine

George Clooney’s wedding wasn’t the only exciting thing that happened at the weekend. Paris Fashion Week continued to give us brand spanking new spring/summer 2015 collections from some of the biggest fashion designers in the world, and as usual, we saw some ground-breaking and memorable stuff. The Jean Paul Gaultier spring/summer 2015 show was an emotional one, as the designer showcased his last ever ready-to-wear collection. (He’ll be focusing all his attention on Couture from now on- click here for more deets.) So, it was only right that he went out with a bang, and that’s exactly what he did. JPG paid homage to all the industry figures who have shaped his impressive career; Grace Coddington, Franca Sozzani, Suzy Menkes, Carine Roitfeld, Emmanuelle Alt all ‘featured’ on the runway, making the show a truly unforgettable one just the way JPG intended. Elsewhere in Paris, Riccardo Tisci presented a great, mostly monochromatic collection for Givenchy (with the Kim Kardashian and little North West obviously sitting pretty on the front row to support an eyebrow-less Kendall Jenner), while Phoebe Philo was clearly inspired by the one and only Kate Bush (who is currently touring right here in Britain) for her latest Celine collection. Check out all of our highlights below: Jean Paul Gaultier Givenchy Celine

Paris Fashion Week SS15 highlights from Balmain, Lanvin, Roland Mouret and more!

It’s all been hotting up in Paris these past 24 hours, with brand spanking new spring/summer 2015 collections from the likes of Lanvin, Roland Mouret, Nina Ricci and Balmain being the reasons why. Alber Elbaz celebrated Lanvin’s 125th anniversary with an outstanding collection that paid homage to the French fashion House’s history but stayed in tune with the modern woman at the same time too. If anyone can do it, Alber Elbaz can! The Balmain show might just be one of the most star-studded ones we’ve seen so far thanks to its mixture of A-list FROWers and catwalk models. Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Joan Smalls and Kendall Jenner were just a few of the famous model faces strutting their stuff in Olivier Rousteing’s designs, while the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kanye West all sat pretty on the front row to take in the new season pieces with an unrestricted view. And speaking of those new season pieces – it was all about the laser cut, check print, summer brights, and skin. Lots of skin was on show thanks to the bralets, sexy short-hemmed dresses, cut-out detailing and low necklines. Roland Mouret’s latest outing was just as sharp and en-vogue as ever; the perfect wardrobe for the professional woman on a tropical getaway. Asymmetric silhouettes, bright colourways, sharp collars – everything we love about Roland Mouret with a chic but relaxed twist. The young celebs will be all over this collection for their red carpet premiere outings, you mark our words. Here are the rest of our Paris Fashion Week highlights: Balmain Roland Mouret Lanvin Nina Ricci

Paris Fashion Week SS15 highlights from Balenciaga, Dries van Noten, Rochas and more!

Last stop: Paris! Inspired by John Everett Millais’ Ophelia, the Dries van Noten spring/summer 2015 collection was as magically dreamy as they come. With the light, woodland setting – in particular the mossy carpet which was used for the models to walk on – we also got hints of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. All in all, it was a collection of pure, natural beauty, and we have a feeling we’ll be remembering it for seasons to come. The Balenciaga spring/summer 2015 collection was very highly anticipated, and not just because Kim Kardashian and her adorable little girl North West (who wore a miniature leather leggings-and-skirt combo and a Yeezus tour T-shirt – bless!) were sitting pretty in the front row. Alexander Wang presented a minimal and modern collection comprised of black, white and subtle pastel colours, and geometric shapes, embellished, beaded details and subtle yet spectacular embroidering. We love the Matrix-esque long coats that grace the catwalk – practical yet powerful! Take a look at our Paris Fashion Week highlights below to see everything that’s been capturing our attention so far: Balenciaga The Kardashian-Wests arriving for Balenciaga Dries van Noten Rochas Alexis Mabille

Kendall Jenner for Victoria’s Secret?

Victoria’s Secret loves to surprise us – why else would it be bringing the annual Victoria’s Secret Show to London for the first time ever this year? So, with that in mind, we’re not at all shocked to learn that we might be surprised with a new model on the VS catwalk later this year… and that model could be none other than Kendall Jenner. As always, Victoria’s Secret doesn’t confirm which models will walk in the most highly anticipated show of the year until the show itself, so we will have to sit back and wait patiently until December to see if Kim Kardashian’s little sis is present. Although, with legs that go on for days and a string of magazine covers and ad campaigns under her belt – plus the fact that she shared the catwalk with VS regulars Candice Swanepoel and Karlie Kloss – we think the odds are pretty good. Would you like to see Kendall walk in the Victoria’s Secret Show later this year? [MTV]

Rita Ora sparkles in Zuhair Murad Couture at GQ Men of the Year awards

Kim Kardashian may have been crowned GQ Woman of the Year, but the reality TV star turned businesswoman wasn’t the only woman turning heads at the GQ Awards. We think Rita Ora looked sensational as she arrived on the red carpet at the Royal Opera House on Tuesday night, sparkling from head to toe in a Zuhair Murad Couture dress that will have us mesmerised for weeks, maybe even months, to come. As more sparkles than you can shake a stick at, Rita’s Zuhair Murad Couture asymmetric dress also came with a dangerously high slit to the hip and a singular embellished long sleeve. It takes someone special to wear and pull off a gown of this intricacy – and we think Rita Ora absolutely nailed it! Do we think she might be a contender for the GQ Woman of the Year prize in 2015? We wouldn’t be surprised if the answer is “yes” so watch this space!

Kendall Jenner drops her last name

We told you just a few weeks ago that Kendall Jenner – daughter of Kris and Bruce Jenner and half-sister to Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian – thought her famous family hindered her modelling career. Well, instead of just banning sister Kim and the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan from her catwalk shows, she has now gone one step further to disassociate herself from them… and that’s by dropping her last name altogether. Yep, Kendall will now join the likes of the one-named-wonders like Beyonce, Cher and Rihanna, and be known as just “Kendall”. Interesting, no? Do you think this new name will catch on? We wonder what Kardashian/Jenner matriarch Kris Jenner had to say about this… no doubt we’ll see or hear some sort of reference to it on a new episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians soon.

Our Top 5 Fashion Photographers

In this social media world where everyone over the age of eight has a smartphone with a camera and in which street style fans are obsessed with finding the perfect lens to capture those great shots, it seems like everyone is a ‘photographer’. But they have a long way to go to reach the heights of the true fashion photography greats. Here’s a list of our five fave photographers in the biz, and the things we love about them: Mario Testino Probably one of the most famous, successful, respected and wealthy photographers in the world – and that isn’t just a coincidence! Why else would the Peruvian economics graduate be trusted with photographing the Royal family time and time again? He shot the late Princess Diana for Vanity Fair back in 1997, and more recently he caught Prince William and Kate Middleton’s engagement on camera for the world to see too. He’s also Anna Wintour and Christopher Bailey’s go-to man when it comes to those respective Vogue cover shoots and Burberry ad campaigns, although those aren’t the only things he spend his time on. Over the years, it’s no exaggeration to say that he just might have shot the majority of the celebrity world, with some of the people posing for his camera including Lady Gaga, Naomi Campbell, Cara Delevingne, Gisele, and so many more. What a pro!   Annie Leibovitz Another American Vogue/Anna Wintour favourite – although Annie Leibovitz hasn’t always just been photographing the stars for the biggest fashion glossy in the world. We love the photographer for her infamously controversial pictures including the John Lennon and Yoko Ono nude embrace shot, Angelina Jolie naked in the bath tub (pictured above), and a pregnant (and of course, nude) Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity Fair. And somewhat […]
