We Love...Kendall!

Style Crush♥

Kendall Nicole Jenner, aged 17, is a runway & editorial model and tv personality from California, USA. 

The daughter of gold-medal Olympian Bruce Jenner and so-called 'momager' Kris Jenner, the teen originally found fame on hit E! reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. 

Kendall signed with Wilhelmina Modelling Agency and began modelling at the tender age of 14, and has been snapped up by the likes of Miss Vogue, Sherri Hill and  Forever 21, to name a few! 

I adore her simple fashion sense, which always has an edge of urban, L.A cool. She is never a stranger to try out daring prints and bright colours, and you can always catch her in a pair of leather-spiked Louboutins. 

Jealous much!? 

The paradise-like climate of L.A gives her the opportunity to dress like we only wish we could in the UK, with Bambi & Manson shorts and Rayban aviators. Sigh.

Her long, poker straight, dark brown locks fit in well with her fashion sense, as does her clean, minimal make-up. Her favourites are Lip Lights lip gloss and Smashbox Foundation Primer. She usually sports a nude lip, which draws more attention to her eyes, which she tends to intensify with MAC Kohl Eyeliner.

I also admire Kendall for her down to earth personality. She admits that she is a shy and quiet person, and once said in an interview that she' doesn't want to say anything around new people in case they think she is a weirdo', which reminds me a lot of myself!

I think Kendall is utterly FABULOUS, and is soon to be one of the most sought-after fashion icons of our generation.

Here are some of my Kendall-inspired outfits!:

Happy 12.12.12, bloggers! How did you spend your day? Our year all had to get these horrible injections, we learned some salsa dancing and I went to see my twin cousins! Enjoy the rest of the day!

Have a Corny Christmas!

Have A Corny Christmas!

Many of you out there, yes, including the high-flying fashionistas, have a secret. 

Right in the very back of their designer-clad wardrobe, beneath the Blahniks and Balenciagas, lie the monstrosity that can only be known as

 THE CHRISTMAS JUMPER. 

  It can strike fear into the hearts of the fashion Scrooges, 
    who determine that they should only be worn in ultimate darkness, or on one of those 90's family Christmas cards. 

           Little do they know that retailers all across the world have constructed a plot...to destroy the hoo-ha about these bold sweaters, and create something that will put these 'Scrooges' to shame. Behold the 2012 gang of Christmas jumpers. 

Go get your HO HO on, girl.

LOT78 Jumper, £220, as seen on the fabulous Lauren Conrad!

 This one is my favourite, and is 3.1 Phillip Lim, for £416. Now, I'm not expecting you to go all out and pay the hefty price tag on this beauty, but you could always get inspiration from it and have a wack at DIY'ing one yourself!

                                                                                        Preen, £595

Chinti & Parker, £350

H&M, £24.99

Meadem Kirchoff, £945 (wowza!)

H&M, £19.99, & Topshop, £50 ( the one Olivia tried on last Saturday!)

And the corniest of the lot:

River Island, £38

This is a mens jumper, but it's just so deliciously cheesy, I HAD to put it in!

So take your pick, and wear your fabulous festive sweater with 

PRIDE!

Merry Christmas!

Love, R x.

The Pointe Is

Ballet

"You don't have to know about ballet to enjoy it, all you have to do is look at it" 

- Edwin Denby

Yesterday, I attended a ballet class with two friends at the COOLEST place on Earth, Dance City. There were break dancing competitions in the reception, jazz dancers kicking down the banisters, it was like a scene from Fame!

 I hadn't attended a proper ballet class since I was around 6 ( take a look, there's me, second row and third from the right!) and I was pretty nervous that I'd have forgotten EVERYTHING.

My worries soon vanished after the OAP guy in full-on lycra walked in ( that happened! ), and it was generally just good to get back into something I used to love so much. Whilst I was there, I noticed all of the luxurious costumes the dancers were wearing, including ruffled tulle tutus, beaded bodices, delicate silk slippers and flowing ribbons.

It made me think that a lot of high-fashion designers creations are rather similar to those worn by these ballet dancers. Just look at recent catwalks from the likes of Chloe', Sherri Hill, Alexander McQueen and especially Marchesa, the reigning brand of elegant gowns and dresses. Back in September this year, Valentino hosted an amazing event for New York City's Ballet Gala, where he designed a mass of beautiful dresses for the performing ballerinas, which gained a lot of media attention for the polished dance style.

Vogue Russia have previously devoted an entire editorial shoot to the refined art of ballet, and they even feature in Kanye West's music video, Runaway. And who could forget big-time controversial movie, Black Swan, which thrust ballerinas into a completely new light.

    So, do you think designers are inspired by the graceful entity of ballet, the silhouettes, costumes and chic yet sophisticated manner? 

Here's a picture of my little brother and I at the NYC Ballet in January 2011!

P.S. My ballet inspired outfit!

We Love....Ginnifer!

Style Crush♥

 Ginnifer Goodwin, or Jennifer, if you're fussy, is a 34 year old TV and film actress from America.


 She was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and vastly gained an interest in media and the arts, due to her father, who owned & operated a recording studio.

She has featured in popular movies such as Ramona & Beezus and He's Just Not That Into You, but received her big break in HBO's Big Love.

 Although I can't remember when I originally heard of her, Ginnifer has always garnered my attention for her striking features and crazyily good dress sense.

 She has featured in a GAP Fall Campaign in 2008, been awarded MaxMara's One to Watch, and even adopted a flock of turkeys in 2009. Our kind of girl.

 You could say that Ginnifer's style was minimalistic, with a cutting edge twist that portrays her unique personality. If she was wearing the simplest black dress, she would add something completely unexpected ( have you SEEN that Gucci dress below!?).

Ginnifer always reminds me of a pixie or a fairy, with her sweet facial features, hairstyle and name ( I don't really know why, I think it's something to do with the Wizard of Oz... Glinda/Ginnifer hahaha ) and she brings this out with her natural and basic make-up. Lusted after for her clear, dewy skin, Ginnifer makes the most of this by not adding as much contouring make-up onto her skin, and focusing on making her eyes the more prominent feature.



 I think that Ginnifer brings something fresh to the celebrity scene, and isn't one to follow trends straight from the catwalk. She is a true fashion risk taker, and ALWAYS impresses on the red carpet!



                 We ♥ Ginnifer!

Here are some of my Ginnifer inspired outfits!
