NUDE.PRINT.BLACK&WHITE

**Get the Look Kylie Jenner**

Hi Bloggers! 

So this is a new post called "NUDE.PRINT.BLACK&WHITE." where I will capture the style of a celebrity that falls in to that category. So I will be starting with the Kardashian Sisters and showing you how to get the look. Each post will capture one celebrity, and this post is following Kylie Jenner. 

For me I find that Kylie Jenner falls mainly into the Black and White category. Kylie Jenner only 16 and is a great fashion role model. Her looks are very highly sought-after creating edgy looks integrated with punk. To get the bold looks keep on reading. 

Black & White


A lot of Kylie Jenner's outfits are Black and White. So the first step towards getting Kylie's looks is too keep a selection of black and white pieces this will be the staple to your outfits. The Black and White is not as boring as you think, these items can come across in a variation of materials and this is the main part of Kylie's looks. 

Leather Look


The first staple item within this section is to contain something leather. If you have noticed Kylie wears a lot of leather looks. This could be a Leather Skirt, Leather Leggings, Leather Jacket, Leather Shorts or even a Leather Dress. For me I have a pair of Leather Look Leggings; however another item I would go for is the Leather Skirt and maybe even a jacket. 

The Leather look brings out the edge in all outfits, this is a stand out element. So this is great if you are looking to wear this kind of look out to a bar, club or even a concert.  Pairing this Leather look with T-shirt will tone the look down for a day look, this can easily be made sexy with a Shea blouse. 

There are a variation of looks that can be created with Leather so depending on if your going for a more casual look this can be put together with a pair of ankle boots or even some trainers. Wearing this look out into the night you might want to think about wearing the look with some heels. 

T-Shirts 


Keeping a variation of Black and White T-shits with a few words printed on them. Kylie Jenner is always wearing t-shirts and this could be paired up with something really classy to create a going-out outfit or to basic and casual look. 

Aside from T-Shirts you could have a few Jumpers/Sweatshirts with funky designs. You don't have to keep to the colours black and white you can step out into grey's as well. 

Jumper's/Sweatshirts don't have to be worn with jeans. To add to the Kylie Jenner look I would wear a Jumper with a pair of shorts or even over a dress. This will just make the outfit pop a little more and create that Kylie look. My advise with this look is to wear it with a pair of flat shoes. Heel's would make the outfit girly and takes it away from the hipster look Kylie has.

Prints

Don't forget that you can always find black and white prints and these work perfectly for the Kylie Jenner look. Also for spring time this is great especially trousers paired with a plain top will give you the perfect look.
Kylie's outfits when she wears printed garments are mainly when she is going to the more feminine look. So with this look you want to make sure your hair and make up is also done to a very good standard.

Loose Top vs. Fitted Tops


Kylie usually varies the way she wears her tops. If she is going for a more casual look you will notice that her tops are looser and comfy. These Loose tops may be big and baggy and can also be loose and cropped to show off her midriff. This instantly brings out the more edgy punk look that she has going on.  


Kylie is also known to wear blouses and tight fitted tops, this is more for when she is going for the sexy seductive look and this look will obviously be going along with a great pair of heels.


Shorts 


High waisted short shorts darling! For her more edgy casual looks paired with her over-sized baggy Tee's Kylie wears a lot of shorts. Usually consisting of Denim blue's/Denim with prints and or Black shorts. I also wear a lot of short's mainly in the summer however I don't own a denim pair I have mainly cotton ones with a variation of colours. 

A lot of Kylie's shorts will be like the ones in the picture below. Where they have been cut and/or ripped. This brings out a more stylish chilled-out look. 



Leggings


Kylie Jenner generally goes for tight fitted pants and leggings. A lot of the time you will see Kylie wearing a pair of funky leggings. This can be anything from leathers, Glitter or even the torn up type. Occasionally you will see her wearing a comfy pair of plain black leggings.

The ones I like most are the ones when she is wearing the torn up type, this is because it really adds to her hipster look.

A lot of her outfits that are with leggings are put together with a great pair of ankle boots or if she is hitting a club or red carpet you know it will be a pair of heels.

Dresses


When it comes to dresses Kylie keeps these mainly for red carpet events, Magazine Photo-shoots and Family events.

All Kylie’s dresses are amazing, they are all figure hugging and very sexy. Kylie in a dress is when she steps away from her casual edgy look and turns to a more feminine sexy icon. I love the way she does this because it shows the two different sides she has, where one side is very out there and daring and then you have this elegant sexy version of her. The way she brings both of these looks across is seamless which makes her a very good style icon.


Heels Heels Heels!


All of the Kardashians are into their Heels, so it’s only natural they Kylie has a wide range of heels.  Ok so not all of Kylie’s outfits are paired with heels, but a lot of outfits that she puts together for bigger occasions will be paired no doubt with a pair of heels. Kylie is really into her Louboutin’s and she knows how to rock them.

Aside from her heels Kylie does also have a range of ankle boots. So to rock her casual look add a variety of black ankle boots to your wardrobe.


Accessorize Make-Up and Hair!


Out of all the Kardashians Kylie is the one who wears the most rings. So to complete the Kylie Jenner look don’t forget to add a lot of accessorise. This can range from:

Rings & Midi Rings
Beanie Hats
Simple Necklaces
Watches
Bracelets
Headbands
Multiple Earrings

Putting a lot of Accessorize on and minimal make up, Kylie Jenner usually has a very natural look with the make-up therefore it’s best to keep to a little bit of eye-liner and mascara. Adding bold lip can occasionally be added to create differentiation. 





For Hair it looks as though Kylie prefers the wavy beach look. This can easily be created by using a curler and pulling the curls out to roughen up the hair. This look instantly creates volume and texture. Sometimes for a prettier look you may see tighter curls in Kylie’s hair and this is done in the same way without pulling the curls out.


Another look is straight hair and this is easily accomplished by running a straightener through the hair.

Hair Care Routine + Tips & Tricks

Hi Guys!

You may have recently seen me upload my new video on YouTube about my Hair Care Routine. If you haven't then please do check it out. This Blog Post will relate to a lot of the tips and tricks I have mentioned in my video.



History of my Hair:

So if you don't know already I have very long hair and when you have longer hair it is harder to keep the hair healthy. For me I find that the ends of my hair split quickly and tend to get worse if I don't do anything about them. Due to my hair having this split end damage on the ends I decided its now time to take action and care for the hair a lot more. 

I have dyed my hair about several times, where the last two times I dyed my hair was with Permanent Hair Dye. The last time I Dyed my hair with Permanent Hair Dye made my hair at the ends feel more bitter. Before the Permanent Hair Dye I had used Semi-Permanent Hair Dye which causes less damage. 

Hair Cuts are not something I do regularly and I don't follow the "Get your hair cut every 4-6 weeks" regime. I find that this is just very expensive and if you are planning on growing your hair its not going to happen if what you have grown gets cut off. Last week (22nd February 2014) was when I had my most recent hair trim as the split ends were pretty bad. A Few weeks before I had this cut/trim I decided to take action and caring for my hair and below is the Hair Care Routing I follow.

FYI: Most products I have used in this routine are from the Split end Range by TRESemme. You don't have to use these you can use products that suite you better and/or products by TRESemme from a different range that cater to accomplish different needs.


Hair Care Routine: 


Step 1:- The first thing I do is Shampoo my hair! 

When I wash my hair I Shampoo twice, the reason for this is that the first time is to loosen up the oils in your hair and the second time will give you a deeper clean and cleanse the hair and wash away all the dirt. This leaves your Hair cleaner and you will notice that your hair doesn't get as greasy.

Shampoo I use: Tresemme Keratin Smooth Infusing Shampoo  

Step 2 - Condition

Once the shampooing is complete then I apply conditioner, when applying the conditioner I concentrate on the mid-lengths of the hair and ends of the hair and applying very little on the hair close to my scalp. The less products applied to the scalp the better as it will stop your hair getting greasy.  I leave the conditioner in for 2-3 minutes allowing it to work and really moisturise the ends of your hair which tend to be the most dry. 

I then rinse my hair and give my hair a comb with a wide tooth comb to get it ready for the next step. 

Conditioner I use: Tresemme Keratin Smooth Restoring Conditioner 

Step 3: Hair Masque

To prepare my hair for the Hair Masque I wring out all the water, this will allow for better application and for the product to work better with the hair.

I then apply the Hair masque from my mid-lengths down to the ends of my hair concentrating on the ends. I again leave this masque in my hair for 2-3 minutes before rinsing. After applying the masque you will notice a difference straight away, hair is instantly smoother. 

Also not a lot of this product is needed and is a great investment as it lasts for a long period. 

Hair Masque I use: TRESemme Split Remedy Split Mend Intense Recovery Masque 


Step 4:- Protect

After washing my hair I wrap a towel around my head and leave that on for about 5-10 minutes. I then apply a leave in product for the split ends, this can be found here: "TRESemme Split Remedy Leave-In Treatment". 

An oil is also very good for the ends of the hair to keep them hydrated so I apply this leave in "Oil" I received from Birchbox.

Just before I dry my hair I apply a heat protecting spray to stop damage from the hair dryer and hair straighter's.  Heat Protector I use: Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray .

Hair Tips & Tricks 

So here are a few tips to keep your hair healthy and in good shape.

First and best tip for your hair is to brush your hair from the "bottom up" and not "top down". Reason for this is because if you are brushing your hair from the top of your scalp down to your roots you are gathering all the tangles at the bottom and this is where you may try and pull the brush/comb through the tangles and tear the hair. Tearing the hair at this point will cause breakage and split ends. Also if you do get tangles in your hair it is advised to use your hands and slowly unravel the knots.


Secondly using Hair Bands without the metal on it is the best for your hair as the metal coiled rubber bands can irritate your hair and in a tight space can easily snap the hair. Best course of action is to replace these types of rubber/hair bands with a scrunchy or rubber bands without the metal (check out my video to see which ones i am talking about). 


Lastly if you are not going out it best to keep your hair up and out of the way. If your hair is continuously out and your hair is lengthy it will brush against your clothes and cause your hair split ends.  So if you don;t need to wear your hair out, tie it up in a top-knot or plat it so that its out of the way of damage.
