Fashion File: Kim Kardashian

I absolutely adore Kim K's curvy style and I appreciate how it's evolved over the years. You can really see how her look has gone from wearing very mainstream cuts and patterns to a very modern, clean and sophisticated vibe. This is also mimicked in her hair and makeup from big voluminous curls and dark eyeliner to natural lose waves and flirty lashes. 

Very specifically, I think the figure hugging pencil skirt look that Kim tends to wear a lot really suits her image and body type. Kim has been able to make this look so versatile, matching with different colours, textures and accessories. I think she looks divine and is such a style icon to millions around the world. 

Hope this gives you some inspiration to try your very own figure hugging outfit and hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! 

Boating Attire

This week, my team at work were rewarded with a day cruising around beautiful Sydney harbour on a catamaran. Of course I had to make sure I had a cute and comfortable outfit for the day, so I popped into one of my favs, Country Road. They have some really lovely basics out for Summer and I could have easily picked out a whole new wardrobe, but stuck to one outfit (pats self on the back)! 

I wasn't really into skorts when they came out last Summer, but this one just spoke to me; the colour, pattern and the fabric. It's thick and stretches a bit, which makes for a more flattering skirt...I mean skort. I love the bright summery pattern too! My navy singlet is also from Country Road and is such soft material, it's more of a luxury singlet. I teamed the outfit with nude sandals, gold jewellery and my brown leather Michael Kors handbag. This bag just goes with everything and I like how big it is...fits all of my junk in it! My nailpolish of the day is from OPI, called 'can't find my czechbook'. 

The outing was a great success, relaxing on the water in the sun with a few ice cold drinks! 

I hope everyone's had a fab weekend and has a great week ahead! 

Denim on Denim

I love a good double denim ensemble! It's such an effortless (but still like you put a lot of thought into it) kinda look. These are my regular dark denim, skinny jeans from Jeans West. I really like that they sit a little higher on my hips - my pet peeve are jeans that show the world everything when I sit down.

Denim shirts are all the rage as of late, especially during mixed seasons when you never know what the weathers going to be like. They can be so versatile over a girly dress, worn as a shirt teamed with leggings or jeans, over the top of a singlet as a bit of warmth and so on. 

These flats from Witchery have definitely seen better days. I just love the silver, baroque pattern, plus they're really comfortable. My bag is the Louis Vuitton Neverfull - it's my go to day time bag. It fits all my essentials and is the perfect colour. I've topped it off with some simple jewellery, including my gold Michael Kors watch, rose gold Swarovski ring and some fresh water pearl studs. 

Enjoy! 

How to Wear a Kaftan

 

Gone are the days where it's only acceptable to wear a kaftan at the beach. The warmer months are here and there are some seriously stylish kaftans in stores that offer a multi purpose.

I'm sure you've all heard of the amazingly talented Camilla Franks and her gorgeous designer kaftans. They just ooze extravagance and have an exotic array of colourful patterns. Another great place to buy kaftans is Seafolly. They have so many fun, bright colours with both short and long options. 

Kaftans are great for any sort of day time event, whether it be a pool party, baby shower, lunch catch up or house party; they can really be dressed up with a nice pair of wedges. Or if heels arent your thing, they look great with flat sandals. But you're not just limited to day time, adding some chunky jewellery can really amp up your look for a fun night time outfit. 

We all know that famous scene from the second Sex and the City movie when the girls are having a fabulous lunch in the desert. Carrie has the most gorgeous pink kaftan style dress on, with chunky gold bangles and curled hair. She's such a style icon and the fashion from both the movies and the television series have influenced so many women's style over the years. 

I'm keeping an eye out for some fabulous kaftans to add to my closet this summer and I'm sure I will find one for every occasion! 

Monday Chic

Hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend! : ) 

Wearing all black doesn't have to be boring! I think wearing an all black outfit with your hair pulled back can be so chic, especially when mixing different patterns and textures together. Here I've teamed subtle floral, three quarter pants from David Lawrence with a panelled top from Zara. I love this top so much, I also have it in white and of course they go with every outfit. 

To finish off the look, I added simple silver jewellery, black pumps and a cobalt blue jacket in case it got a bit chilly. 

Adding pops of texture to a mono-colour outfit is a great way to look really put together and chic (even though sometimes we don't always feel this way on a Monday morning!) 

Hope you've all had a lovely Monday and enjoyed today's post!
