Another week, another round of celebs getting papped wearing some eclectic bits of fashion. See what you think of my faves…

It’s All in the Jeans…

These gorgeous ladies remind us of how versatile our denim faves can be! Lily is one of my fave fashionistas but I think this may be the first time I’ve included her on the blog as she seems to have been out of the spotlight a bit. But she’s here now and looking fab as always in my eyes! This is such a good outfit to travel in (she was papped at the airport) the straight cut jean and loose fit tee are comfortable, the animal print on the tee also keeps the look interesting. The boyfriend fit blazer looks chic yet easy wearing for getting comfortable on a plane journey, and the patent loafers are ideal for walking those long distances through the terminals and slipping off mid air to give your tootsies a bit of a breather. The whole look screams ‘I just threw this on’ Effortless. Nice work Lil. Kylie is great at dressing for her petite slim figure and even in a simple jeans/blazer combo is still working it. The skinny fit shows off her legs (and famous booty when she gets a stride on!) and the ripped knees bring a bit of casualness and a rough edge. Everything white up top(except the hint of black bra I spy Kyles!) keeps the outfit simple and elegant, the large tote bag also helping to keep a laid back edge. Then, just when we think she’s having a loose one….BAM, shoes! Neon pink, pointed toe, stiletto heeled fierceness reminding us that really, she doesn’t do loose. You can find a similar pair here at House of CB http://www.houseofcb.com/paris-patent-hot-pink-pointed-toe-high-heel-pump-us-en.html . There’s not a great deal I can gush about with Kendal that hasn’t been said before is there?!?! She works the off duty model look perfectly. I have pretty much all the same pieces in my wardrobe and could only dream to look this fab on my down time. Won’t stop me trying though!

The Thighs Have it

These have to be the ultimate in full on sex appeal right? Thigh highs, black leather…meow! It’s a trend I enjoy to see but not one I think I would look great in so have avoided it so far. I like Sam’s dress and the boots, but not together. I kind of feel that, if you’re gonna wear a Versus Versace piece that’s loosely based on THAT Liz Hurley safety pin dress, you need to get a bit more skin out! The dress already has long arms so I think that putting a barely there sandal or black pointed court would’ve worked better and made the look all about the dress. Save the boots for a different frock. I wasn’t a massive fan of Rosie or her style until recently, but I am feeling this look…her flat matte black version of the boot has made them less S&M and more Chelsea autumn chic, the overall look has made them seem like a more attainable style for us girls. Pairing them with the leather mini and winged tote keeps the look tonal and flashes a teeny hint of skin in a way that looks cute and chic. The bottle green knit adds another texture so the outfit is interesting as well as tying together perfectly with the colour scheme. Totes perfection. Tamara’s take is my fave, that girl will wear just about any style and I am seriously pashing on this 60s style outfit! The colours are similar to Rosie’s look but have been changed up for evening with the more luxurious texture and stiletto heel on the boots. Im glad she didn’t fully commit to the 60s vibe with the hair and make up though, that may have looked too costumey. I seriously want this dress in my life now!

Daytime Fashionistas

It’s so strange seeing Lucy in a flat, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her without heels unless she’s training. But because she trains she has those gorgeously toned legs and can wear pretty much anything as a result…hard work pays! As you know I’m a long time fan of anything monochrome and checked, skater style and with a colour pop, so obviously I was drawn to this. The style and tiny checks I think would suit most body shapes so everyone could try the look and strut as proudly as Luce is. I’ve never noticed Jordan’s style before as one that makes me go ‘wow’ but being newly single and losing weight must have been her fashion triggers! The colour, the cut, the sexy split and the elongating (and fiercely sexy skin tone) shoes are quite a look to sport in the daytime hours! She proves you can be sexy by not getting everything out as is always being preached. Jason should be kicking himself when he sees this…Ciara is another newly single lady, as well as being one of Kim K’s BFFs, so obviously bring the chic ‘n sexy to her PFW look was a must. That red looks GORGEOUS against her skin, and the lace design manages to look both sexy and elegant. Underneath the casually draped oversized black coat it looks even more striking. I think the sweater style shape of the top and the cute hem of the skirt make the look a little more casual and chic and stop it looking too sexed up for the daytime. A J’adore from me.

After Dark

Who’d have thunk a fashion darling and a Spice Girl would be mentioned in the same segment for their style? Not me! Alexa’s fashion choices have not always been to my taste, but I really liked this look because it’s tonal and elegant, chic and shows off her shape really nicely. If definitely wear this- I’d look completely different but again I think making a few tweaks and these sort of pieces could work for a lot of shapes. Mel C is in the house! She looks sexy and feminine in this nude/lace jumpsuit, even her hair manages to fine in with it. Her make up is smouldering too…girl power!

Thanks for reading, look forward to sharing some more of my look,s with you next week.

I’m FINALLY on the precipice of starting my final year at uni – there’s been freshers week, there’s been the official first but ‘non teaching’ week (because the 17weeks of those they just gave us really aren’t enough you know) so all that’s left is for the merry go round to kick off again on Monday! And I’m just ready to hibernate and be comfy now it seems with this look. I do enjoy a jogger but these are a waaaaay more casual style than I’d ever usually consider to be any kind of fashion statement! THATS putting it extremely politely…However I passed by them on a mannequin and thought they looked cool, so figured I’d try and work them into relaxed student look. And I just happened to have the perfect sweatshirt to pair with them…

Taken at University of Hull campus

There’s a couple of reasons I think these joggers work in the outside world: The marl grey gives them a bit of texture and interest so makes them more of a casual trouser than the trampy trakkies we all think of, and up close the waist/ankle bands have a cool snakeskin print which is super stylish right now. They’re as ridiculously comfy too (the whole outfit is really!) so are brilliant for walking about and sitting in long lectures. By pairing with a cropped sweatshirt your figure isn’t drowned – you’re still showing shape and not adding bulk. I finished off with wedge trainers to keep some height so it wasn’t completely cas, yet it’s still really comfy. Ive also tried this look with my normal ankle boots and think they work too if you tuck the joggers in. I also reckon that you you could switch out the top/shoes for something a bit more dressy and work a laid back evening outfit…thoughts?

This could also work as part of the ‘mummyform’ looks I’ve done as well I think for the super cool and hip mamas amongst the bunch – throw your hair into a casual top knot, bit of a colour pop lip maybe? The bag DEFINITELY works for both mums and students – it can be carried or worn shoulder/cross body (you mummies all said you need both hands free!) and is a fairly good size to fit a lot of stuff in (I had my iPad, massive purse, make up bag, phone, keys, perfume, notebook and pen in when this was taken. Teeny bit tight but it shut without a fight which is all I ask for!). The texture and zip detail makes it feel really cool, in fact it kind of picks up the texture in the black bands of the joggers which ties the look together even more.

I’ve never been the type of girl who hates Mondays, they’ve never bothered me any more or less than other five days of the working week. But as I’m getting older I get more cynical about them, so when I saw this boyfriend tee I felt it needed to become part of my A/W wardrobe! The skirt is majorly pushing my comfort boundaries – it’s a pelmet style so very short and very straight which I wouldn’t EVER usually consider, but I’m a sucker for a cute print so thought I’d give it a go.

I put myself back into my comfort zone with my trusty black ankle boots to make the look feel a bit more like me. I think I’d probably change my hair though – I like the messy bun style but as my hair is quite fine I think it would’ve looked better if I’d have used my Hair Rehab London clip in piece and roughed it up a bit to make it look a bit more standout. The skirt is an odd fit around my pear shaped figure, my usual size was snug around the thighs but large around the waist. To make it the best fit/style for me I think I’d have been tempted to size up and then have it tailored at the waist a little, but letting it stay a bit bigger so it would hang closer to the hips and make the length longer. Making the fashion fit you and not fitting yourself around the fashion and all!
