Kourtney K's Blog: Khloe + Kourtney = Love

Khloe and I have both been super busy these days so haven’t spent as much time together as we usually do. We have been missing each other madly. She is literally my soul mate, obsession of life! We spent the day together…she came with me to Bel Bambini to do some baby shopping, we went to Robertson to do some shopping for ourselves, and had lunch at Newsroom on Robertson, and we also went to the doctor’s office together. We had a fun filled much needed Khloe and Kourtney day.

I am wearing an H+M dress, Zara blazer, brown Michael Kors boots, brown Balenciaga bag. I stole the dress and blazer from Kim’s closet and she ran into Bel Bambini to surprise us and discovered me in her clothes! It was pretty funny. Khloe is wearing a Myne dress and a Chanel belt.

Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: Michael Kors Neon Patent Leather Clutch

Available in acid yellow and neon pink, Michael Kors knows how to inject the perfect amount of color punch to your wardrobe. While your outfit may consist of more subdued hues, add a bright pop of vivid patent leather to your clutch. I adore the shape of this clutch, structured with silver hardware and a top hinge closure. The size is more spacious than I would have thought, 8″W x 5.5″H x 1.5″D. Yes, this is a trend for fall but it will transition great into spring as well. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $595.

Who Wore Michael Kors Better? Blake Lively or Angelina Jolie

The Michael Kors Fall 2009 strapless dress with pockets on the hips, and a seaming detail across the bodice has been worn by Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie recently.

Back in June Blake opted for the hot pink wool version when she arrived at the CFDA Awards, pairing her dress with nude Christian Louboutin peep-toes.

I loved the colour on Blake. This is actually one of my favourite looks for her. She seems to be back to her best after being very disappointing on the red carpet in 2008.

If Angelina had worn the hot pink version I think I would have fainted from the shock, but she opted for the sexy leather version, pairing her dress with Dior heels.

Interestingly both women opted to use the pocket detail whilst posing on the red carpet, and both sported that ‘just got out of bed’ hair look.

Ange does look fabulous in this dress - despite the feeling of de ja vu - but Blake made the bigger impact by totally blowing me away, so she wins for me.

Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: Michael Kors Big Bow Clutch

Bows on bags are quite the trend right now. I have never been a huge bow girl. Actually, I was never much of a girly girl. Grade school was not filled with pink skirts and ruffles, rather tee-shirts and sports. I have transitioned over the years, and now find myself quite drawn toward all things feminine; bows, pinks, heels, lipstick. So there was a transformation. But you won’t catch me leaving the house in a dress everyday and you won’t catch me in heels most of the time either. I am a jeans and sandals kind of girl. But there is a way to infuse feminine touches without going overboard, and one of these ways is through your accessories.

So that brings me back to the bows on bags trend. Some designers perform this feat immaculately, while others make a hot bow mess. Purse Blog Savvy covered a Kooba Bow Clutch this week, which seems to be perfect for the bar scene or the younger crowd. But if you want a more sophisticated look, with a still reasonable price, the Michael Kors Big Bow Clutch in iris satin with a large fringe edge bow on the front is a perfect option. There are a few reasons I adore this clutch. First, it is the perfect color on the material. Another main reason I love this clutch is that it is lined with leather, which will bring in a sturdy body and shape. The bow is done perfectly as well. Not too ostentatious, rather the perfect bow, that grabs your attention but does not distract. Overall, this is a bow DO for me! Buy through Net A Porter for $395.

Who Wore Michael Kors Better?

Project Runway host Heidi Klum was the first to wear this Michael Kors Fall 2007 black strapless jumpsuit. She wore the jumpsuit with wide belt, when she attended the Lorraine Schwartz Diamond Monkey Collection launch party at the Monkey Bar back in June 2007 in New York.

Actress/singer Jennifer Hudson wore the same jumpsuit to Movies Rock in December 2007 in LA, with a thinner black belt.

Actress Sanaa Lathan revived this jumpsuit this year, at the Verizon Wireless launch party for the Blackberry 8330 Pink Curve in LA, without a belt.

Ugly Betty actress Ana Ortiz attended the Ugly Betty Premiere Party at the High Bar in New York, with a skinny belt, and on the same day, Kim Kardashian was seen wearing it to go shopping.

It is very strange that despite this jumpsuit being 3 season old, we have seen more celebrities wear this season than the Fall 2007 season, in which it was intended.



UPDATE: Thanks to some very eagle eyes, it turns out that the reason for the new spate of people wearing this black strapless jumpsuit, is because the last 3 all purchased the almost identical Black Halo strapless belted jumpsuit.
