khloe-kardashian-get-the-look-fashion

Khloe Kardashian’s tucked jeans into the over the knee boot, is a great way to wear that style of boot. The Furry vest ( faux fur)has been popularized by Rachel Zoe and gives instant cool factor to even the plainest outfit. Accessorize with a studded hobo bag and an interesting ring and voila, you are sporting rocker chic! Here is how to get Khloe Kardashian’s look for less:

1. Channel Rachel Zoe with this Faux Fur Vest ($29.99). It is fully lined and will keep you warm through the spring.

2. Stock up on the basics with this Crew-Neck Raglan Tee ($14.50). This three-quarter-length sleeve shirt is slightly sheer and very comfortable. Basic black tees are a staple in any wardrobe.

3. Not all of us are as lucky as Khloe Kardashian to have a basketball player husband giving us big diamond engagement rings. That doesn’t mean you can’t have diamonds of your own. Buy yourself a White Enamel & Diamond Floral Ring ($95.00).

4. Copy Khloe Kardashian with a pair of Legend Zoe Skinny Jeans ($119.00). The dark wash, straight leg and slim fit of these jeans will make you look taller and feel beautiful.

5. Get a Steve Madden Bstarlet Hobo Handbag ($98.00) for toting your things around town in style. The pink studded design adds to the rocker chic style Khloe Kardashian has.

6. Our Report Signature Harper Boot ($134.99) is a fashion must-have. They are not only stylish fashion, but they also have a low heel so they are comfortable to wear on a day around town.

FASHION NEWS: Charlize Theron Defends Her Oscar Dior Gown

Monday, March 8th, 2010

59837795Wow, the Oscars have become as much about the fashion as they are about the movies.  After ending up on many of the ‘worst dressed’ for the Oscars fashion lists ,actress Charlize Theron felt that she had to defend her choice of the much criticized Christian Dior Oscar gown .

When asked about the dress by US Magazine Charlize Theron had only one thing to say: “I just loved this dress!”

Despite her love for the strapless purple Dior gown fashion critics and bloggers didn’t offer her any sympathy. E Online said: Yep, those are her lady lumps wrapped in lilac rosettes, courtesy of Dior Haute Couture. This one’s going down in the history books… The Vancouver Sun said: There will lots of giggling in the week to come at Charlize Theron, whose Dior gown had rosettes on the breasts bordering on the burlesque.

While Charlize Theron’s red carpet Dior gown wasn’t on our best dressed list, it is not the worst gown we have seen. The critics should lighten up.

Do you like Charlize Theron’s Oscars gown?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Model Wearing Christian LacroixAfter suffering through bankruptcy last year, fashion house Christian Lacroix is getting back to business for 2010. Christian Lacroix is starting up four new lines this year, but not in women’s clothing.

Christian LaCroix’s CEO Nicolas Topiol told WWD the new lines are: women’s glasses and sunglasses, stationary, home textiles and decorative wood panels. They will be partnering up with a number of companies from around the world to ensure these new products are a success. He also said they are in talks to work on innerwear, children’s wear, and accessories.

As part of the restructuring, Christian Lacroix will be cut to just 12 employees to save further costs. They will also be shutting down the Lacroix boutiques and auctioning off the store furnishings. They will continue working on their current fragrance, menswear and bridal lines during this transition period.

The four new lines should be in stores within the next 12 months.

khloe-kardashian-get-the-look-fashion-2

The Kardashian sisters are certainly busy ladies. In addition to skin care lines and fragrances, they have now jumped on the ‘celebrity fashion line’ wagon. Kim Kardashian oversaw the debut their new fashion line, ‘Kardashians by Bebe,’ at New York Fashion Week. The line is a success with many items already sold out. Check out the video and interview here. Kim said she designed her part of the fashion line as if she was designing for herself, because people are always asking her where she got her clothes.

Kim Kardashian is wearing the classic black and white look which is sexy, but still passes off as classy with the addition of a tailored jacket and elegant accessories. This style always stays fresh and is versatile. The necklace she is wearing is by Nicole Richie’s House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line and we have the exact one. Here is how to get Kim Kardashian’s look for less:

1.    Our L’Autre Chose Short Dress ($195.00) is perfect for the warmer Spring weather. Its draped chiffon is light and airy after months of winter jackets.

2.    Cover up with this Classic Fit Blazer ($193.00). The blazer is slightly oversized for a comfortable fit. It has satin lapels and a silk striped lining to make it original. The Zoa fashion line is hot in Hollywood and New York right now. This blazer is perfect for a cool spring evening over any outfit.

3.      We love Kim Kardashian’s House Of Harlow 1960 Black Resin Necklace ($130.00). We had to find one of our own. From Nicole Richie’s jewelry line, this necklace is popular with lots of celebrities including Lindsay Lohan.

4.    Our BCBGeneration Handbag ($35.99) will help you carry your things in style. It is made of a faux leather and is a stylish day bag that will match everything.

5. Get this Attention Color Black Stretch Belt ($8.99). For under $10 you can add some interest to this white dress, like Kim Kardashian has done. You can use this belt with any outfit all year round to create a new look.

6.    Kim Kardashian is at a Report Signature event in her outfit so we had to go with the Report Signature Gala Heel ($95.00). With a hidden platform and a 4 and ¾ inch heel, these shoes will have you at new heights.

RED CARPET FASHION: Valentine’s Day Premiere

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

valentines-day-red-carpet

Last night at the premiere of Valentine’s Day, the stars shone on the red carpet. The all-star ensemble cast of the movie showed up in their finest gowns to celebrate the film.

This morning fashion critics are in love with Anne Hathaway’s red carpet style. She wowed the crowd in her blue Marchesa strapless mini that was adorned with feathers. Jessica Alba followed the feathered trend with a cute green mini dress by Proenza Schouler.

Some celebrities played it safe in their red carpet fashion. Jewel looked sweet in her peach one-shoulder floor length gown. Demi Moore wore a white Chanel strapless mini while supporting her husband Ashton Kutcher. Julia Roberts wore a simple black Christian Dior Resort Dress.

Not everyone got rave reviews. Jessica Biel took a risk by wearing a pink and white Oscar De La Renta dress. She has the critics split, as some did not think that the risk paid off.

Many people are naming Jennifer Garner the best dressed of the night. We at Real Style agree. Jennifer Garner’s  black and nude, leather and lace, Valentino pre-Fall strapless mini was stunning and showed off her curves.
