LOUIS VUITTON - AFTER DARK

Hope everyone has had a good weekend!

Last night my friends and I went out for a horror themed night out in honour of my best friend Claire's 19th birthday... I am still suffering today.

I dressed up as a dead maid.

(Only for those interested...)

Maid outfit - Local costume shop - had to be shortened and shredded

Blazer - H&M

Garter - Ann Summers

Pea green tights - Topshop

Red fringed leather shoes - Kurt Geiger

I can't speak for anyone else, but naturally I always link what I'm wearing or what I'm photographing or the makeup I decide to apply that day to Fashion.... This could be my inner Fashion Communicator talking...

For example, I might be reading ELLE magazine and see a makeup look I really admire, yet not dwell on the idea of trying that look on myself, and before I know it I look back at photographs from a night out and realise I naturally mimicked the look on myself.

Essentially, the point I am trying to make is when I was getting ready, I kept thinking of the Louis Vuitton Spring 2008 Ready To Wear show. My favourite Louis Vuitton show.

Sexy nurses emerged wearing pastel coloured lingerie covered only by a see through white doctors coat. AMAZING.

I'm all over any theatrical runway show. Dressing up last night reminded me of this show and I knew I had to blog about it. I love everything about the show. Its over the top and the styling is gorgeous. Love the fire engine red lips, sultry cat eyes and 50's hair styles.

Breathtaking!

P.S.... Love Mr Marc Jacob's Spongebob case...

My favourite celebrity wardrobe

I love Kimora Lee Simmon's wardrobe.

I remember being much younger and watching an episode of MTV Cribs and Kimora's first house was shown. I was in complete awe of how extensive her wardrobe was. I loved her Louis Vuitton suitcases and original Versace furniture.

From a young age I have always thought that Kimora is so beautiful. There is something about the proportions of her face that is magical. I also appreciate how she is not stick-thin. She reinforces this into her catwalk shows as she refuses to hire size 0 models for her runway. I think this communicates a wonderful message to young girls.

I've been watching lots of 'Kimora - Life In The Fab Lane' recently. Through watching his my love of her has grown and grown. She is so down to earth and hilarious, her daughters Ming and Aoki are little divas too!

Her brand 'Baby Phat' is not my style, although I love the 'Baby Phat' logo earrings as I love cats! I can see why 'Baby Phat' is so successful as it appeals to women who want to look and feel fabulous.

I think Kimora has come a long way since her days of walking the runway...

As a child she was made fun of for her appearance and height. Soon after she was spotted by Karl Lagerfield and became the face of Chanel. That's what I like to call "karma's bitch".

She is a dear friend of Tyra Banks as they modelled together as teenagers. I think Kimora and Tyra are perfect examples of models who set such good examples for young girls, don't you think?

Well... Most of the time.
