Steal Her Style : Taylor Swift Black Dress Brit Awards 2013



Taylor Swift hit the red carpet at the 2013 Brit Awards in style. Her black Elie Saab evening gown with mesh insert detail was modern and bold. Styled with a gold metal belt and cuff the overall look is strong and sexy without being a flesh fest.

Pulling it all together was Taylors signature smokey eye, a pinky nude lip and black nails.

Taylors style in this instance is very easy to recreate on any budget and it's oh so weable even for us mere mortals. So here are a few ways to get your hands on this look!

At around $215 this Aqua belted maxi from Asos takes the thinking out of it.

 

 

Coming in at just under $50 this black column maxi from Asos has a few of the key details such as a high neckline and figure hugging form that we see in Taylors Elie Saab gown. Paired with the right accessories this look will certainly grab attention!

To complement your black maxi dress don't forget your metal belt. One of my favorites at the moment is the basic instincts full metal belt coming in at just under $50!

 

 

To finish off your look don't forget your gold cuff! Coming in at under $60 it doesn't cost the earth to look a million bucks! ;) Throw on some strappy black or gold heels and you too can look like a star hitting the red carpet!

 

Enjoy!

Grammy Awards 2013 - Get Rihannas Red Dress Look

Thank heavens the 2013 Grammys came with a requirement to wear actual clothes this year. I actually chuckled when I heard organisers had to send out a note explaining to guests that they should cover their privates & basically arrive looking respectable. I for one certainly am grateful because it's given us one of the best looks I have seen on Rihanna to date!

What a divine shade of red her Azzedine Alaia silk chiffon gown was with it's sheer panels. Sure she could have added some nipple pasties but I won't push my luck - I love this look and I'm sure in the next few months we'll see red gowns doing the rounds... haha yes I'm rhyming ;) Rihanna kept that red theme going strong with matching nails, lips and heels creating this perfectly pretty look.

 

If you simply can't wait for the mass reproductions of this gown and you need it now! Alex Perry has one he prepared earlier and it's currently on sale.  His beautiful Romana gown can be found at David Jones. It has the same full skirt detail as Rihannas gown, comes in a "to die for" red and has an intricate bust detail. Alternatively you can hire the dress at Glamcorner.com.au

We'll be sure to bring you a more detailed "red dress" blog shortly ;)

Enjoy,

Steal Her Style - Emmy Rossum Black & White Lace Dress

Continuing the lace theme Emmy Rossum stepped out recently in a knee length black and white contrast lace dress by Zuhair Murad. Emmy is effortlessy chic. Not only is the dress stunning with it's two tone detail and waist cinching, we love Emmys styling. Her side swept waves and bold lip give her an air of old school sophistication. She's kept her accessories simple with a black clutch and patent leather peep toes and minimal jewelry.

Steal Her Style under $100 - Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton Pink dress

We adore Kate Middletons Emilia Wickstead ladylike pink dress so much we simply had to do a steal her style. And we did it for under $100 for all of those out there like us who have to crunch the numbers when shopping.

Copying a style can be hard to match exactly sometimes so we recommend searching for the details of the piece you love. For instance with a dress pick a piece in the same color, length, cut or with the same detailing. Don't be afraid to look for second hand items either as many details and styles have been around before.

In keeping with the theme of recycling looks we've started our "steal her style"  inspiration with some truly "recycled" items. First up we have a 1970's vintage pink dress from etsy at just $59.00

Here's another little gem - Etsy Pink pleat dress at a mere $25.00

Here we have a the same pink color with pleats in a different cut from Asos for $64.60.

Finally we have pink dress with cap sleeves and pleat detailing from House of Fraser at $70

Enjoy!
