Here is Kim last night arriving at the grand opening of Eve nightclub in Las Vegas.
This was my inspiration for the look behind Kim outfit. There is so much going on with this amazing Balenciaga dress so I wanted to keep everything else really simple. The first thing that I wanted was for Kim to wear her hair slick back off of her face to show her beauty. The shoulders on this dress are so strong I thought it would be too much with her hair down.
I kept it simple with a Christian Louboutin suede pump. Kim liked how the suede on the shoes matched the suede on the shoulders. The detail on this dress when seen in person was pretty amazing!!!
Since it was Vegas I wanted to have fun with accessories so I paired the the dress with a fun mirrior clutch by Kotur and a pair of vintage earrings I purchased at Curve Boutique.
Here are some behind the scenes photos of me with the Glam Squad, Makeup Artist Joyce Bonelli and Hair Stylist Frankie Payne. Lyna, the winner of the contest looked amazing and felt so confident. She was so grateful that Kim would do this for one of her fans! It was so much fun!
Spring wardrobe is around the corner so make sure you invest in a trench coat whether it's short, cropped or long!! It's a classic! I picked out a few of my favs over at NET-A-PORTER and Top Shop.
They were $1,150 and now they are $690 over at NET-A-PORTER. They are having an amazing shoe sale!! Perfect time to shop or buy those last minute gifts like me! Go now!
I am so excited to see the final version of the Carl's Jr commercial I just did with Kim and director Chris Applebaum. He is the mastermind behind a lot of great music videos like Rhianna's "Umbrella". I was so excited to have the privilege of working with him as he is a talented director and I really admire his work. Kim did an amazing job as usual and I think the commercial looks HOT!!! What do you guys think?
I wanted to give you all an update on Kim's BEBE jacket. I have been getting so many comments, tweets and emails on this one. I just got word that they never actually produced this jacket so it's the only one which is a sample and that is the one I pulled for Kim. I am so sorry!! I had no idea about this and I thought it was available at stores since I pulled it a few months ago. Things like this happen sometimes because designers cut certain styles out of the collection when it goes into production.
However, I did find a very similar one that has the same look. It has the tweed and leather mixed together just like Kim's jacket. It doesn't look as cool in the picture because she is wearing the jacket as a suit.
You just have to be creative and make this jacket look stylish which is so easy. All you need to do is pair it with some ripped cool jeans and a black tank. Also make sure you keep the jacket open and roll the sleeves up just like Kim did. You always have to tweak around with wardrobe to make it look cool! This jacket is a perfect example of that.
Check out this video of us giving Lyna, the winner of Kim's "Get Your Glam On" contest her amazing makeover! Thanks to Bebe for providing all the wardrobe. It was a blast working with Kim, Frankie and Joyce on this project.
