Kristen Stewart: Awkward Turtle

There is no denying the sometimes excruciatingly akward being that is Kristen Stewart to be just that. She twitches in uncomfortable timing, her stance is a bit "weird" and is borderline autistic. But this is not something to be chastised over. I love her. Someone and something that  is slightly wonky and different has always sat comfortably with me. And she is one of them. Can't say the same about the cheating scandal but her (what I think is carefully picked out to display her personality) outfits calls for unbiased adornment. She has an amazing style that is not supported and have been overlooked too comfortably for my taste. but hey! I love turtles and boy do I love her sense of style.

Wearing Zuhair Muhad

Bohemian Rhapsody

Apart from resembling my boyfriend's brother's wife, she is looking amazing. The detail on this dress is impeccable.  I tend to lean toward anything that is black, sheer and tight. Perfect. 

Wearing Zuhaid Murad (again)

Boudior Realness

Seems like this man can do no wrong. This beautifully crafted black lace number is so sexy.

Wearing Balmain

Rocker Chic

The studs dresses her down but still brings a great amount of elegance. The length is unexpected and surprisingly beautiful. Refreshing!

Wearing Peter Pilotto

Aztec Bright

This is a great trend that is in at the moment.The length and design is so playful and fun. The colours are cutely bright without being tacky and juvenile.

Wearing Erdem

A touch of whimsy

I LOVE this dress. I remember watching Fashion Police and they were just tearing her to pieces. But all I could think was how fucking awesome it is. So screw them. 3 out of 4 people on that show are not even in the fashion industry and we have to realise creativity as well as beauty is subjective. If you feel good nothing else matters.

Wearing Christian Dior

Casualties

I love the length and the colour. Easy. Comfortable. A+

Wearing Balenciaga

Executive Realness

White and Black is always classic and elegant. The criss cross bra brings the masculinity of the suit to a welcomed halt. Sexy!

Wearing Louis Vitton

Playsuit

It's not really apparent here, but she is wearing a little jumpsuit with assimulated pockets in front. Very cute and effortless. #BLACKANDWHITE

Here's some extras ;)

Risky Business

The labels on clothing inscribed with warnings and direction DO NOT suffice!

Argh, I know it is 7 o'clock and my cellphones rings with fury as I hit it's snooze button for the sixth time but I just cannot get up (and by can't I mean I don't want to). But if I don't get up now I will be late for class. Although that does sound tempting I just can't miss another day of Uni. So, I stubble out of bed and drag my slouchy body towards the bathroom. As I feverishly attempt to wash and get dress in record time, I am presented with the arduous task to get my ass in my jeans. And no, it isn't the "denial" this time. I learned the hard way that damp bodies are not receptive to fabrics, especially denim. It had an unnerving death grip on my thighs, stopping almost immediately at my bottom. This time I don't need my mother to tell me that "that thing can't go in there, Chernay. It just wont". Side-line Analysis:  "It"? "thing"?? Like "it's" an ugly step child that should be kept in the basement. Come on, Chernay. Keep it together, I can do this.I give it another enormous jerk and this final tug sends me sliding ass first onto the cold, hard ground, hitting my head on my beds edge. Best thing is, I just popped my button...and my pants...didnt move...an inch.

I am now writing to you in my beloved jeans as confirmation that it in fact was not just my ass. Happy dance.
 
New label inscription = WARNING: attempt to put me on a damp body may lead to injury or death 'cause I'm a fucking asshole and you're lazy.

Leggo!

Leggings are the new pants. I do not care what anyone says.

They are comfortable, versatile and gives your ass a hug from the love gods. They are perfect to give and accentuate curves for those who feel they want it as well as a great recommendation for all us bigger girls. A lot of people believe, because we are not as skinny, that we have this moral obligation to society to hide our "fat". Sometimes, it is us holding ourselves back because we are stricken with ghastly and unnecessary insecurities. Although, many would agree there are some things certain people with certain body types just simply should not wear, luckily in this instance this is not the case. I am a firm believer in embracing and loving your body for what it is as well as knowing that tight figure-hugging clothing, such as leggings, actually make you look slimmer and sexier. 

Anyone can pull this look off. And the best thing is, whatever your personality, there are leggings that cater to your sense of self (=

Cleopatra comin' atcha!/Box Braid Boom

 

This trend has been on my radar for a while. It is so effortless and quirky that it is just a total brave-heart must-have for me. This look is very reminiscent of Cleopatra. It gives me a sense of a strong warrior woman (which is essentially what all females are). What I love about it now is that, although I have initially only seen it on African girls, more and more girls are realizing it's arse-spanking hotness. Although it is a style to be much pondered on because I've heard stories that it is quite heavy and can lead to hair breakage if not done properly, I still adore it and the success stories are pretty damn sexy. But hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...and if it does, at least you'll look great.

#BoxBraids

I love the option of incorporating different colours.

Great interpretation of modern African wear accompanied by sexy box braids.

This look can be easily adapted for anyone and everyone (And those lollipops are the best touch. LOVE)

SALUTE!

Timeless

It seems we have come into an age where prior big fashion trends are making major comebacks. And I have to agree, "I ain't mad at it". When executed so well and worn with enviable confidence, I welcome it.

Whore Couture???

Hello there!
Welcome! This goes both ways.

Please, Call me CC.
This is my very first post on, what will be, my infamous blog. This will be an omage to what I believe is truly fashion. To me, a price tag has no real significance. In fact, if it is dirt cheap I would be elated. Thus the name, Whore Couture. Basically, besides the obvious idea that my blog's name is a play on Haute Couture, I'm obsessed with skimpy and provocatively styled clothing as well as a huge fan of the affordable and hell, as cheap as I can get it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not minimizing the efforts and creativity of very prestigious and hard-working designers that I so much look up to but the reality is that people like me who live a working class life in a third world country and have this love of fashion, have to make do with what they can afford. THIS DOES NOT MEAN you have to look bad though. This blog will be a mixture of all my ideas. I hope you'll like it.
 ENJOY (=
