Aussie Curves – Celebrity Copy Cat

October 26, 2013November 8, 2013 / Lisa / 8 Comments

At the start of this week I had no idea which celebrity style I wanted to copy. My mind was blank.

Finally Friday rolled around and I thought, I need to pick *someone*. So I turned to Pinterest for some inspiration. I started looking through celebrities and women’s fashion, but wasn’t really finding anything. Then I stumbled upon a photo of Demi Lovato and everything just fell in to place. Within five minutes I had an entire outfit planned.

This seems to be her current go-to outfit, and I have to say, I love it. Perfect mix of rock, grunge and glam. I also LOVE her neon blue hair right now. (No, I haven’t gone that far in celebrity copy cat, but one day I would love to dye my hair blue. One day…)

Anyway, here is what I have come up with. It’s kind of a mix of the two photos of her.

I actually went all out for this and I had so much fun. I planned the hair, make-up and jewelry. All fitting in with Demi’s style.

My t-shirt is actually one I have had for ages and I still love wearing it. Yes it does say “Make cupcakes not war”, cause I love cupcakes and don’t like war. It is from Johnny Cupcakes, an American clothing brand that does all sorts of cool tees and clothing, as well as accessory type things. I chose this tee for the outfit because I don’t have any of my band t-shirts with me here in AU, but I think it still fit with the style.

In the photos Demi has several chains, so I layered a couple of my normal necklaces I wear, just because I don’t own any chunky chains. I also wore a few cuffs/spiky bracelets, which she tends to wear quite often.

I even painted my nails black for the occasion. Dedicated. It is Midnight in NY by Sally Hansen. It’s a great nail polish as it has a bit of glitter in it. It also has a nice flat brush which allows for easy application, and it is fast drying.

And of course the outfit wouldn’t be complete without a bit of make-up. Demi was wearing a bright red lipstick, so I decided to pull out mine. This is Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede in Trendsetter. I love it because it really does stay on once set and doesn’t come off on glasses etc. Also note my bling earrings. Demi had a pair on as well.

So what do you think? Did I nail it? Also, new photo wall – AMAZING.

Dressember: day 9.

December 9, 2011 / Lisa / 2 Comments

I cheated a bit today.

I wore jeans.

I couldn’t help myself! The call was far too strong and the urge to just not wear a dress and leggings overcame me!

However, there was another reason for sinking low and finding my way back to the delicious denim feel and that is because the tunic/top I was going to wear is not at all appropriate with pantyhose or leggings. Jeans or some other form of pant must be worn with it.

If I had not worn jeans, I would have ended up most likely showing my ass to the majority of Takapuna. Yes, the tunic covers the area, but any movement could have me done for indecent exposure. And, in all honesty, it would make you go blind.

So I took one for the team! I still wore a “dress”, but in order to be a lady, I HAD to pair it with jeans. And it felt SO GOOD.

This tunic is from Ezibuy and I originally bought it for my sister’s engagement party. I usually do wear it with jeans, but have once worn it with pantyhose and it was not a pretty experience.

I’ve also put on a bit of weight since originally buying it, so the small amount of movement I was able to get away with when not wearing pants has decreased to non-existent. It is still a great “long top” though. Probably one of my most favourite pieces of clothing – the whole reason I won’t give it up because I’ve put on a little weight.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I had a job interview on Monday. I didn’t really know what to wear so decided to have a play around with what I had, instead of going to my old fall-back black dress.

This is what I ended up with:

It’s not a very good picture, but you get the idea.

I started off with my high-waisted black stretch skirt from Farmers and added one of my long-sleeved t-shirts from Glassons. Whenever I wear a skirt or dress, I have to put either pantihose or leggings with it. I just can’t stand wearing a skirt by itself. So I pulled out one of my new pairs of We Love Colours tights in Royal Blue.

Finally a pair of tights that fit me that I don’t have to pull up every hour. They just fit and they’re bright!

I then added my new grey and navy stripped cardi from Ezibuy, but it looked a little wrong just sitting open, so I added a belt around my waist to pull it in and tie everything together.

I am very happy with this look and I can change it up a little bit with the different colours of tights and long-sleeved t-shirts that I have. I also have several other cardis this look could work with.

I may even use it for other interviews that come up.

My fashion mind has finally kicked in. It only took 24 years.

In other fabulous fashion news, I went into City Chic today – my favourite clothing store – and put a couple of items on lay-by, because they are ridiculously expensive.

First there was this dress that I had previously seen on the website and really wanted straight away. Today I walked in to the store, saw it, they had it in my size, I tried it on, it fitted and I bought it. Done. It was like it was meant to be.

The same went for this jacket. Originally saw it online, but wanted to see if it fitted before I bought it. I did contemplate not buying it because I can’t do it up, just because of the way it sits and the small zip is on an angle. It would look awesome done up, yes, but Lisa O’Neill says with jackets that as long as it fits across your back and you can essentially pick up a toddler, the jacket is fine. And it looked fiiiine.

Yay for fashion!
