Lana Del Rey outfit

Lana Del Rey outfit by niamhgoodwin featuring christian louboutin shoes
 

This outfit has been inspired by the one and only Lana Del Rey. I am going to see her on monday 27th May in Dublin's Vicar street and I cannot wait! I have never been so excited to see hear somebody in my entire life, I have a majassive girl crush on Lana, I like to call her 'my girl'. So I'm hoping that she comes out in a long vintage dress, perfect waves and red lips and just be the old Hollywood-esque siren that she is! I will not be amused if she just sticks on jeans and a top, no Lana let me see glamour! So this is my dream outfit to wear for the night, I actually am in a style rut as to what to wear, I want to make an impact yet I will have to keep in my mind I will be travelling by train and bus so comfort is needed. Ah well, this is my dream outfit complete with diamonds and Christian Louboutins (that I only own in my dreams!) The only part of this outift that can become my reality is this beautiful China Doll Boutique dress at only £45. I love the optic illusion element to it, and obviously its very detailed neckline, it is stunning! And very Lana :) and you can get it right here

what do you all think about my outfit?

Style gallery-Linda Evangelista

I absolutely adore Linda Evangelista! I am obsessed with the whole supermodel era of the last 80's and 90's that really kicked off the whole phenomenon that we have today with the interest with models and what they bring to Fashion. Along with the greats, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour they defined a whole era and generation for high octane glamour and style! Her famous uttering that she doesnt get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day is testament to how they changed the game for models, as before they were usually paid with clothes from the designers.

Linda is the original muse as before she chopped her hair off and dyed it red she was barely known, but that hair changed everything! So much so that im always tempted to cut all my hair off and do a Linda and go through every style and colour that she has. I adore the platinum blonde number, as a natural brunette I would never dream of going to the other side especially as I have quite dark colouring and wouldnt suit, but its suits her beautifully that im so envious! I have to keep telling myself that im not 6ft with sharp angular features that are needed for such a brave choppy style, alas!

Even today as she is in her 40's she is still adored within the fashion world and has some prestigious contracts, especially prada and Versace who she has long connections with. We all know Naomi, Helena and Cindy are no stranger to the catwalk still and Stephanie is the face of Jason Wu's latest campiagn, just showing that these women, and I cant stress that enough, are in hot demand and are not going anywhere! As the fashion industry are obsessed with youth this is a refreshing change as these women breath experience, confidence and style that I feel many models now dont have.

Do any of you have a favourite supermodel?

Look of the day

Ok, so this isnt me! But I was trailing through some street style photos for inspiration and I absolutely adored this, everything about it is just so fashionable yet simple! It just goes to show what a classic and good quality coat can do for your look. I love how its versatile  perfect  for day wear without looking to dressy, the ripped boyfriend jeans (I need to find a pair of these!!) and buttoned up shirt ensure its casual and the amazing structured coat, heels and bag and even some jewellery gives that added feminine edge to, in my opinion a quite androgynous look. It may not be showing off tits and legs to prove that theres a woman underneath all of the layers, but its cleverly structured to highlight the length and shape of the legs and the simple wavy hair and light make up completes the look.

I seriously need to find me a pair of these jeans. And maybe I should try buttoning up shirts but I always find that because I have quite a large-ish bust I feel suffocated buttoned around the neck and some buttons not being able to close. I also just think I look daft, but im deffo going to have to try something similar to this look.

Im also wondering, and I've heard other people say this too, do people actually walk about in the heels or just wait to get snapped then change into something more comfortable? I am a lover of heels as the next person, in fact I've more heels than I do flat everyday shoes and basically live in my converse, but I couldnt wear them everyday and even then I have to be drunk so I dont feel the pain of my feet - but to be fair it's usually just a pair of cheap heels that give me some bother but I never learn!
