Kim Kardashian Styles and Trends

Kim Kardashian is a very stylish reality star and many young women around the world look up to her as a fashionista. 

Over the years of her career, Kim has stayed on trend and dressed to impress on many occasions. 

She is known to wear fitted dresses, denims, high-waisted pants & skirts. In fact many of her outfits truly compliments her beautiful curvy body.  

She has been fabulously photographed in many different styles and trends, but like many other celebs, the curvy 31 years old reality star does not always get it right.

The Hollywood socialite was spotted in a chic black and white ensemble. 

Kim wore a flowing white blouse with fringe detailed sleeves,teamed with a high-waisted black structured skirt by "Leila Shams", accessorized with a black and beige belt, which emphasises her small waist.  

She completes this stunning look were a pair of nude Louboutin.and a 'Skull diamanté' box clutch. 

I love this outfit! Especially the black jacket with silver chain detailed and a statement shoulder.
 Her opened toes black ankle shoes also gives the perfect finish to the look.

Kim looks fabulous in this 'Peplum' black dress, with a fiery orange floral print.  

Kim is rocking a fitted nude dress with the white 'statement shoulder' jacket and a nude 'pointy-toe' high-heeled pumps. 
This outfit looks amazing on Kim. 
Her dress really enhances her curvy body and the statement shoulder jacket gives the outfit that bit of edge, defining her broad shoulders. One of my favorite styles from Kim.

Kim Kardashian's latest fashion fail features unflattering Kanye West-inspired outfit...

She was spotted in Miami last Sunday, with her younger sister Khloe. Kim was dressed in a very odd ensemble inspired by her "rapper-turned-designer" boyfriend Kanye West. 

Her 'figure-hugging' white top was so unflattering! The exposure of her lower back was not a good look for her body shape and 'ill-fitting' black pants was probably the worse pair of pants to team with the top.

Although the outfit looked "OK" from the front, this was still a very unflattering, odd style from the reality star.

Khloe on the other hand looks very well put-together in her simple ensemble.

There were many events on this year's Fashion Festival in Dublin, Unfortunately I was unable to attend all of these events. However I had the opportunity to witness some of the events across town and I must say, I had a Blast!!!

Here are some of my highlights on this year's "DFF" events...

Thursday 6th: Beauty Workshops with Debbie O’Donnell (Xpose TV Producer)

I attended the 40 minutes presentation by Xpose's TV Producer "Debbie O’Donnell" in Clerys O'connell Street Dublin 1. 

The presentation covered five of this year's autumn & winter trending styles on today's high-street Market, some lingerie tips and celebrity inspired looks.

• The Military Trend; The quick essential  black Military Jacket from "Mango" and the long sleeve Military Women's Dress from "Oasis" (copy of last season's Victoria Beckham Dress)

• The "Peplum" style; We all know Peplum is a big trend this season, Debbie O'Donnell highlights a beautiful Black Peplum Dress and gives tips on how to wear the trend.   

While shopping around in Clerys, I also came across this similar stylish Peplum black dress from Karen Millen, I tried it on and I must say it looked and felt amazing on me! I defiantly recommend to go up a size if necessary for a perfect fit.

• The "Peter Pan" trend; Inspired by Victoria Beckham and great value from the high-street market "Oasis" Debbie shows how this Peter Pan choker necklace  can transform a plain dress without making too much fuss.

I came across this black blazer jacket with silver statement shoulder spikes from Boohoo.com

• "Optical Illusion" Trend; This trend has been on the market for a while now and it is not going away... I think it is great for all women that wants to accentuate their body shapes, and for that idea of a few inches off the waist.

This "Geometric Tribal Embroidery" Dress from Karen Millen is another great example of a optical illusion that would look amazing on without any extra accessories.

• Celebrity Inspired looks; Debbie found the perfect "Kate Beckinsale" inspired dress from Karen Millen!

After sharing her tips on today's trends, Debbie O’Donnell concludes the presentation with tips and tricks on "problem areas" and some under-garments that can help women feel more comfortable and confident.  

I really enjoyed this "DFF" workshop by Debbie and I hope you all benefit from my highlight of this event.
