Update your look with Kim's leather blazer

Sunday, March 23, 2014

This is pretty standard fayre when it comes to a Kim Kardashian outfit.
Pencil skirt? Check. Tom Ford heels? Check. Cleavage baring top? Check. Bottega Venetta clutch? Check. The only new addition we can see to this familiar line up is the fabulous and very covetable leather blazer.

It's by super high end label Balmain, something you can tell from the giveaway signature gold buttons. When you think of a leather jacket you normally imagine a biker or even a bomber but this is a cool take on the more traditional blazer cut.
And the bonus is, you can buy it. If you have £2677 to spare then click the link (right) to get it now from the Balmain online store. It's a massive investment but if you've got a Kardashian sized budget then why not?
For the rest of us let's reduce costs and see what the high street has for us. G-Star does a mid range look or try Vila's blazer with faux leather sleeves. Then style it over jeans or as an edgy cover up for your little black dress

Crop right now with Mel B's colourblock top

Melanie B’s toned yet curvey body has to be one of the best in showbiz. Even though she’s 38, the former Spice Girl looks as good as the young whipper snappers topping the charts today - as evidenced by her toned abs in these pics. Goes to show you what loads of exercise can do for you…

Speaking of exercise, it’s time to start doing those crunches ladies - the warm weather is coming and crop tops are on trend again this season. And, as Mel B proves, they’re not only for teenagers; if you do them right they can look mature and chic. Just make sure you only show the tiniest bit of skin and keep the rest of your look demure.
Mel’s top is by American label A.L.C, and you can get it by clicking right. It’s not too pricey at £167, but if you think it’s a bit much for such a small amount material, check out our edit of cheaper colourblock crop tops below. Wear with a high waisted skirt or pants like Mel and you won’t even have too bare that much of your belly!

Try a Hawaiian print shirt for Summer like Lucy

When she was on the live shows during the X Factor, Lucy Spraggan certainly made a mark not only with her music, but with her style too. Staying true to herself was always paramount, and since leaving, she's stuck to her mantra. And here we think she might be showing us what to expect of her wardrobe come Summer.

Hawaiian print shirts have, up until recently, been associated with sunburnt Brits abroad (think TV programme Benidorm), but since Prada made the print fashionable, they've been everywhere. Lucy's bright turquoise option is a corker!
We're pretty sure this is a vintage buy, and possibly even a men's shirt, but we do love firstly Lucy's confidence to pull this off, and secondly how she's teamed it with black denim shorts.
They are one of those wardrobe pieces that are so wrong they're right, and now is the time to try out the trend too. We love the palm trees in Lucy's and we also love them in the below Les Prairies de Paris option. And that Topman shirt is a good buy too!
Enjoy experimenting!

Make like Kate Middleton in a chic navy dress

She's known for promoting her own designs so much she gives Victoria Beckham a run for her money.
And Amy Child's didn't let the side down with her latest outfit, as she stepped out looking groomed and glossy in a gathered navy dress from, you guessed it, her own collection.
Sales of navy dresses have soared since Kate Middleton and Prince William's
engagement photos. We're putting it down to navy's ability to flatter all skin tones, and nothing to do with the prospect of bagging a Prince for a husband.
Amy's dress is perfect for curvy girls, as the V neck will flatter your bust, the gathering will disguise a round tummy and the tailored cut will hug you in all the right places.

Look schermazing in Sam's Nicole for Missguided jumpsuit

Sam Faiers snapped up one of the high street's most talked about collaborations for her night on the tiles!
The TOWIE star was spotted out wearing not one, but two outfits from Nicole Scherzinger's collection for Missguided.

Earlier in the evening Sam nailed the sportswear trend in the range's white cut out dress, but we're loving her second outfit - the super cool jumpsuit in cobalt blue, which she teamed with a Chanel handbag and metallic platforms. Did someone say D-I-S-C-O?
Cobalt blue hues were all over the catwalks at Michael Kors, Chloe and Celine, and a jumpsuit like Sam's is perfect to wear for parties and daytime events alike. Team with metallic accessories a la Sam, go tailored by draping a white blazer over your shoulders, or even dress it down by layering a sporty grey sweatshirt over the top and adding cool sneakers.
Shop Sam's jumpsuit by clicking to the right, and see below for the high street's best blue jumpsuits with prices starting from just £40.
