Fashion Illustrator | Jerron Couture

Can't believe I haven't blogged for 4 months! Shocking! I've been so busy but have decided to return to it as I do miss it... a lot. So... i'm back!

I found this very talented New York fashion illustrator on instagram. Jerron Couture's style is fab. It reminds me a little of Hayden Williams style; cute, edgy and colourful! I love the amount of details that goes into his work.

Gwen Stefani in Harpers Bazaar

I LOVE Gwen Stefani. I love her style to be more precise. She always looks gorgeous and effortlessly stylish. She graced the cover of Harpers Bazaar back in September 2012 and looked stunning in various high end garments in shades of pink and black.

Fashion Illustrator | Dudu Gonzaga

Dudu Gonzaga's fashion illustrations are simply beauitful. His attention to detail and use of colour in his sketches are just fabulous. I can't believe he is self taught and started at the tender age of four! I don't even think I could draw a stickman at four!

Star Style | Will.I.Am

This guy is just too cool! I love Will.i.am's sense of style. From back in the day when he was part of the Black Eyed Peas, his style has always been quite out there, pushing the boundaries. I love the fact that he isn't afraid to wear whatever he wants and doesn't give a damn what people think!

Kendall Jenner in Miss Vogue

Kendall Jenner looks gorgeous on Miss Vogue Australia's cover. She looks all grown up! So classy and chic but yet sexy! She looks every part the model. I love that black backless dress too... it's beautiful.

Socks with Open Toe Shoes

I know wearing socks with open toe shoes is on trend right now and has been for a good few years. A lot of celebrities- including Rihanna, Kate Moss, Beyonce and Fearne Cotton- are dong it, but i'm really not feeling this look. I personally don't think it looks right. In fact it looks quite odd and should be avoided by all means!

I would NOT be seen in this look... BUT I can appreciate that it looks nice on this girl. Who would have thought that leopard print ankle socks with patent heels and rolled up jeans would go together? But somehow it works!


Now, if you must wear socks with heels, then this is definitely the BEST look. Team up white patterned ankle socks with black (closed toe) heels. This look is just too cute! I love it. It's very girly and chic. I could see myself rocking this look but i'd obviously have to make sure the rest of my outfit was on point too!!

My Week on Instagram #1

Lana Del Ray in Vogue Italia

Lana Del Ray looked STUNNING in this Vogue Italia editorial (August 2012). The magazine highlighted vintage glamour and mixed it up with retro hotel settings. Lana modelled gorgeous garments including cute cocktail dresses, dresses with lace and sheer fabrics and also mini dresses. The stylists teamed them up with jewel encrusted statement accessories- necklaces, bangles and rings. It was bang on trend too, displaying statement lace pieces, soft- almost pastel yellow and pink colours and dot mesh panelling. I love her statement nude platform heels by Mary Jane, although I could never wear them as they're unfortunately way too high for me and i'd probably end up breaking my ankle!

 

MOBO Awards | The Dresses

All girls love a gorgeous dress when getting dolled up for an awards ceremony. Some get it right and some are just a complete no no! The MOBO awards were no different this year as the celebs came out to pose in their frocks... 

I love this dress that Rita Ora has on but I could be being bias as I LOVE Alexander Mcqueen... he's one of my favourite designers. The floral print and tutu style is just too cute!

Tulisa wore a nude and black optical illusion bodycon dress. I like this dress but i'm not too keen on the top of it (neckline). I do really like the back of it though. Chelsea Healey's dress is a straight no no for me... it looks like something my nan would have worn!

This dress just looks so very designer!... the structured power shoulders and peplum are definitely a winner for me. Love the choice of gold accessories too!
