All hail Queen Blake!

In honour of the starlet's 28th birthday, we're proving that (in the words of Ryan Reynolds) Blake is the Beyoncé of red carpets. 

Even though Ryan is probably a little bit biased as her hubby, we still need to give the girl points for fabulous style. 

The former Gossip Girl star has always amazed us with her chic and glamorous style at big events and there has been many, many unbeatable fashion moments over the years.

Here, SHEmazing! counts down her very best looks:

In this day and age, you'd probably assume that any sketch or drawing that appears online is the product of some computer program or cool new app.

But even with today's current technology, there are some bad-ass fashion illustrators taking the web by storm using only pencils, brushes and other tools. 

Many of these AMAZING illustrators take to Instagram to show off their work on a regular basis, so we compiled a list of our favourites:

@dallasshaw

It-girl illustrator Dallas Shaw has a flair for runway sketches. She even created illustrations for Harper's Bazaar using only Chanel eye shadows. Fancy.

 

@jennymwalton

From funky monochrome sketches to a blast of colourful clothes, Jenny Walton certainly has some raw talent. 

 

@cedricrivrain

Hot-shot artist Cedric Rivrain has sketched every model from Jourdan Dunn to Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner. 

 

@paperfashion

Kate Rodgers is behind the looks from Paper Fashion. She uses a variety of materials in her illustrations including watercolour, sequins, lipstick and even leaves.

 

@meganhess_official

Megan Hess is the illustrator for Chanel, Dior and Cartier – lucky girl! She brings fashion to life with her mega-glam and feminine sketches. 

 

@hollywoulddublin

Coming from our own Emerald Isle, Holly Shorthall sketches all the major celebs and you will find everyone from Coco Chanel to Madonna in her feed. 

 

@conor_merriman

Another Irish illustrator, Conor sketches at all the major fashion events in Dublin. His laid-back looks and colourful drawings flood his fab IG feed.

Are you stuck in a style rut? We all have times when we go to our wardrobes each morning and have absolutely NO inspiration whatsoever.

The result? You end up throwing on something you either hate… or feel totally uncomfortable in.

This lowers your self-esteem and can actually have a pretty big impact on your day.

Still, there are a few easy ways to change up your look completely. In fact, you'll be feeling back to yourself in no time!

 

Change up one piece

If you're not used to change, then this is the option for you. It might seem like it won't alter much but believe us, one different piece can overhaul a whole outfit. If you always wear a black blazer to work, opt for a different style of jacket or different colour. It will have you looking more radiant in no time. 

 

Update each piece

We all have that go-to outfit that we throw on at the weekends. It's comfortable and easy, and all you want for when you have time off. But when you wear something constantly, there's no doubt that you will get bored of it.

To tackle this problem, stick to the same pieces but update it: if you used to wear black skinny jeans, maybe go for tailored leggings or bootcut jeans. If you always wear the same white t-shirt, opt for a vibrant colour instead. You will feel more lively and confident by just changing the versions. 

 

Inspiration

If you haven't a clue where to start, head to the internet for inspiration. From street style to fashion bloggers, you'll find all the info you need to look your best online. If you're on instagram, search #streetstyle and an abundance of pictures will pop up. Problem solved!

 

Colour change

Yes, we all seek comfort in black clothing. In fact, women all around the world are known for hiding away under their dark garments. But if you really want to change up your style, go for colour.

It is the boldest move to make, but the most successful one. Not only will you appear more confident, you will stand out from the crowd and people will notice the difference. #result

Yes, a new day, a new weird fashion trend. This one is a little bit more subtle than the rest of them but we think it is still going to be a fairly awkward piece of clothing to wear. 

The new trend is extra-long sleeves and we're a bit perplexed by them. How are you meant to carry things? Where do your hands go? Am I going to spill my coffee down them? We just don't know. 

These street style ladies are giving the trend their all and even though practicality has gone out the window, we do admit that they pull the look off effortlessly. 

What do you think? Would you wear the new trend?

When it's time to get up early on a dark morning, the last thing most of us want to do is spring an outfit together from the top of our heads.

Most of us are still so dazed that we just throw on anything and hope for the best.

But with the help of fashion bloggers and street style photographers it is actually easy-peasy to get inspiration for a new look at the click of a button. 

The blogs and street style photos can be great but recently we have come across some AWESOME Instagram users that create fashion mood boards on their page. The images are just to-die-for. You need look no further for inspiration, we've got it all here.

White jeans are great. They go with nearly everything and you can really pull off a cool and classic vibe while wearing them.

In fact, the perfect white skinny jean can take you anywhere you want to go and make you look effortlessly chic while doing so. 

But we all know they have one major problem, they can tell you everywhere you've been in the day just by looking at all the stains on them. Yes, it's heartbreaking that something so beautiful can get so ruined… but we have some top tips on how to keep them clean and unstained. Yay!

If it just so happens that some grumpy guy in the bus queue bumps into you and spills Club Orange all over your pristine white jeans, do not panic!

It can be easily removed by first blotting the stain with some warm water. Make sure to use a white cloth though as you don't want any colour to run onto your jeans from the cloth fabric.

The next go-to move is within the hour, take the jeans off and turn them inside out and run them under water. This allows the stain to go out the same way it came in.

If you do this step with your jeans turned the right way, the stain will sink in further and it will be harder to get out.

Then use some mild spot cleaner and gently work it into the stained area, rinsing with warm water.

If you then want to freshen up your jeans then without having to wash them all over again (repeated cleaning isn't great for them) then hang them in your shower and let the hot water run. The steam from the shower will tighten the jeans right up.

In fact, try to only wash your jeans when they get really dirty.

Also never use fabric softener or bleach on white jeans as they will create a yellow tinge.

When model of the moment Karlie Kloss announced earlier this month that she was starting a YouTube channel called Klossy, it sparked much debate about whether or not YouTube was a viable source for models to gain exposure. 

While social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram are great for getting your name out there, it seems YouTube offers them a more unique outlet of expression. 

So we did our own digging around – finding a few amazing models just like Karlie who have their own YouTube channels.

Read on to meet the models of YouTube…

 

Ruth Crilly

Between all the makeup for fashion shows and photo shoots over the years, models practically become beauty experts. Ruth Crilly's experience in front of the camera led her to start her own YouTube channel dedicated to product recommendations. You will see her sampling countless products from perfumes, to lipsticks and moisturisers. This girl knows her stuff!

 

Taylor, Logan and Mackinley Hill

The Hill sisters started their YouTube channel to document their journey from high school students to top models. With Taylor tapped to be the next Victoria's Secret Angel and sister Mackinley following shortly behind her, the sisters have charted every moment via their online channel. They also take time to answer questions from aspiring models. 

 

Alexandra Elizabeth and Harleth Kuusik

Alexandra Elizabeth was on YouTube well before she became a model but initially she focused more on dance than fashion. Now that she's on the runway she captures all the moments with fellow model Harleth Kuusik. From all the backstage chaos and international travel that comes hand-in-hand with their job, this channel gives you some great insight to the world of a top model.

 

Dauphine McKee

This blonde beauty gives a little bit of everything on her YouTube channel from modelling advice to make up reviews and even the occasional song cover. A medical degree is also on the horizon for Dauphine so expect to see a lot of health and fitness reviews coming along soon.

We all love a good trend and there are some pieces in our wardrobes that we just can't live without.

But while most of these pieces are super-duper easy and handy, there are the few that are just so impractical you wonder why you ever bought them in the first place.

But then again, you look in the mirror and remember that you are rocking that trend (no matter how hard it is to walk).

 

Strapless Tops

Has anyone ever managed to wear a strapless top or dress without having to pull it up constantly throughout the day? We've all been there and while they might look oh-so-chic, it is a pain to have to keep adjusting.

 

Platform boots

While you might think you look like a member of the Spice Girls with platform boots, good luck running for a bus in them. They totally slow you down and make you feel like you have a heavy bag of sugar dragging from your feet.

 

Pencil skirt

A good pencil skirt is perfect office attire. They are probably one of the most flattering skirt shapes on the market and ooze sexiness too. But it's better to keep still while wearing one as you will resemble a penguin hobbling along the office floor if you try to walk. Not such a good look.

 

Leather trousers

Admit it, you own a pair. And if you don't you have definitely thought about it. It's alright, we all think we look like a rock princess if we wear a pair. But be warned, what happened to Ross is Friends is a legit concern. They will either stick to you as you try to get them on or off; and we won't even mention the squeaking that comes on when you walk. 

 

 

Jumpsuit/playsuit

These pieces are a God send when you're stuck for something to wear as they are so easy to pop on in the morning and you instantly look great. But have you tried to go to the toilet in one? Hello freezing upper body as you have to strip all the way down to pee. The struggle is real. 

 

White jeans

This is another item that mostly everyone has in their wardrobe. They look great on and how perfect are they for summer days? They're fabulous really – until you spill your glass of red wine down them, oh and that piece of chocolate, and every other piece of food you eat that day. They are a magnet for any type of stain and within an hour the pristine whiteness is now blotted and smeared and you have to pop them in the wash again. #drag

Newly single Vogue Williams stunned at the Goodwood races in West Sussex with not one, but TWO amazing outfits being showcased. 

The model and reality TV star was there in the capacity of fashion correspondent for Channel 4 Racing late last week, when the high-profile event took place. 

Afterwards, and despite being a regular at some of Ireland's best courses, she admitted that the Goodwood Races was one of her favourites because of its laid-back style.

"I’ve been to a lot of racing events but Goodwood has a totally different feel to it, it’s a very relaxed atmosphere and it felt like more of a huge garden party," she explained in her blog for Hello Online. Sounds like our type of races!

The 29-year-old Dubliner furthermore let us in on her jam-packed schedule saying: "I started my days with a production meeting and then I went around the race track looking for amazing outfits to feature on the show."

Vogue believes style makes a big impact on race days saying: "I think fashion is a huge part of racing and everyone puts an massive amount of effort into their looks. The style at Goodwood is really relaxed."

On the first day of the event, the Bear Grylls: Mission Survive winner donned a gorgeous white lace dress from Spotted On Celeb, teaming it with a vibrant pink hat by milliner Laura Apsit Livens.

And on the second day, Ms Williams went for a more casual approach, wearing a pastel yellow floaty dress from Beulah with a Vivien Sheriff head piece. The model admitted that she wanted to go for a "1930's type look".

We think Vogue looked great in both outfits and is definitely giving us major style envy!

Yesterday, naked pictures of the DJ were released by Utan; a newly-released tanning product for which Vogue is fronting a major campaign. 

Indeed, such was the interest in the incredible snaps that the site crashed.

The news broke late yesterday evening that Donna Karen is stepping down from her role as Chief Designer of the fashion brand she founded more than three decades ago.

In 1984, Donna launched her label DKI (Donna Karan International) with husband Stephen Weiss and later, in 1988, she launched DKNY, a label we all know and love today.

In 2001, LVMH, the world leader of luxury brands, bought up DKI, although Karan herself remained hugely influential in the capacity of Chief Designer

The New Yorker became famous for her alternative thinking when she first launched her label, creating designs no one had previously explored. At the time women were only beginning to climb the corporate ladder and – they wanted to have the attire to match. Karan made a big impact when she launched practical, layer-able and most of all, feminine pieces. 

For the time being, there is no immediate successor and, in fact, the label's fashion shows will be put on a temporary hiatus. 

We just hope the label doesn't suffer and is still able to stay in competition with the likes of Calvin Klien and Ralph Lauren.

If you use social media at all these days you have more than likely come across a few common trends. It’s very easy to jump on the bandwagon, we’re probably all a little guilty of one or more (or all) of these little quirks.

You have to admit that are a couple of these trends, mostly found crowding our Instagram feeds that might just bit a touch overdone.

These were just some of the trends that we think could everyone could take a break from every now and then.

The less-than stellar foodie snap.
We would actually prefer to see your sock collection again instead of another box of detox teas, thanks.

The 'candid' moment
Do you have a triple jointed wrist or does your iced latte actually levitate? Amazing.

The selfies
We love when people are confident and not afraid to show it, but we wouldn't mind seeing your actual outfit instead of 60 different versions of your contouring. 

The legs POV photos
So you went to the Bahamas? It's hard to know when your sunkissed knees are taking up most of the frame…

Collages
We want to see all your excellent style we really do, but when you make a collage with 7 or more images that means we have to zoom. Instagram does not have a zoom feature!
