Review of the Kardashian Kollection

I promised a review of the Kardashian Kollection and here it is...

After browsing the website on Sears.com I selected 3 dresses.

The first reminded me of dresses Kim often wears on the show. I chose this slate grey color because it works for winter and summer. I'm quite pleased with the material quality of the dress and the shape which broadens my generally slim shoulders...  unfortunately the zipper was completely jammed making it impossible to close the dress. (thus no pics from the back) Hopefully this is an isolated incident. :(  

My second dress has an all over pink, purple and black pattern and fits perfectly... only problem is this is not the dress I ordered. : / (and yes I checked the order confirmation...)

After trying it on a few times I do like the dress but it's a little annoying not to have the one I wanted in the first place.

My favorite purchase is the tattoo dress! The striking black and white pattern is bold and the scooped out back is just a little daring.  ;)

  

Warning: Only wear if you like being the center of attention!

Overall the quality is similar to stores like Bebe.com and the prices comparable. FYI, if you're small framed like me I only fit into XS petite at Bebe.com whereas I fit in the regular XS for the Kardashian Kollection.

Oh and I just checked the website and the Kardashian Kollection is on sale again! Later Dolls! 

Selena Gomez hosting MTV Europe Movie Awards

Recently one celebrity has continuously caught my eye. This year Selena Gomez has slated herself as a strong contender in the fashion arena and a style icon in the near future. With the help of Basia Richards, Selena's Hollywood stylist, the transition from Disney princess to Sophisticated actress/Edgy rock-star has been effortless! As host of  MTV Europe Movie Awards, Selena donned 9 stunning outfits and here are my favorites.

This long sleeved purple sequin body suit screams DIVA! (I actually have a purple sequin backless dress that I love.)  

I love Selena's BOLD attitude towards color! This outfit is a great example of color-blocking at its best! 

Being a girly-girl at heart, it's hard for me to resist a bubble skirt and sweet heart neckline! 

The gold skin tight leggings and platform heels just scream rock-star to me!

This Marchesa white mini is so gorgeous! The all over applique makes a bold statement and the sheer back, button detail keeps it sexy were it could have been stuffy. The tulle ballerina skirt shows off Selena's slim waist and legs. Love, Love, Love this dress!

Presenting the Kardashian Kollection at SEARS

The Kardashian clan was first thrust into the spotlight in 2007 with the popular reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The show featured mother-daughter dynamics, sibling rivalries, matrimonial mayhem and Dash, the store the girls worked in together. Recently Kourtney, Kim & Khloe annouced their next joint venture - Kardsahian Kollection at Sears. The collection showcases characteristics of each girl's personal style; Kourtney's wide leg pants and Kim's skin tight dresses. Khloe even has pictures up on her website of her wearing an outfit from the collection. The collection includes clothing, handbags, lingerie, jewelry, shoes, belts & sunglasses.

The collection has lots of basics that you can build on as well as show stoppers like Khloe's leopard print dress. 

I can't wait to order the black and white number Kim is sporting! 

The girls even modeled the naughty but nice lingerie pieces!

Check out the collection for yourself while everything is 30%!

The Museum of ME!

You see the most interesting things pop up on facebook and this site is certainly one of them. It does exactly what the name implies, gathers information from your facebook account and compiles it in a way that is truly innovative. The Museum is divided in sections labeled "friends", "photos", "words" & "likes". The whole design of presenting "you" to "you" is brilliant!

Splurge vs. Steal: Zip Leggings

Recently I've really missed blogging... so I'm getting back to it! Yay! 

Browsing through Cosmopolitan Magazine online I came across their Splurge vs. Steal section, featuring zip leggings. They've compared a $98 pair from Nordstrom and a $29.40 pair from Bloomingdale's. 

Here I am wearing mine and they cost under $5.

When it comes to shopping I think you should pay for longevity and originality. No matter what the name brand, leggings will all stretch out and require replacing from time to time. Plus there are a million stores that make leggings just like these. Why pay almost $100 for them. O_O

I've had this pair for about a year now and they're still going strong! =)

Next - The Black Bow Clutch

To Splurge or to Steal? Hmmmm...

For me this is a splurge for sure! In this case, the name brand Guess, actually does mean something - longevity! The simple feminine design, suitable for day and night, means I would get a lot of wear out of it.

But that's just me.
