Back in September when I was on my way to Colorado, I finished reading “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid on the plane. And I cried my eyes out! I swear- I have never been so thankful for mandatory mask mandate. I am such an ugly crier and could not control myself. I loved this book so much- I knew I wanted to dress up as Evelyn for Halloween. She is iconic for her green dress and platinum hair. While I’m definitely not platinum and this dress is a little darker than the book described, I was able to put this costume and photoshoot together by only purchasing one thing- the gloves! Here are more pictures and how you can pull off an Evelyn Hugo costume.

I’ve always wanted to dress up as Vivian from Pretty Woman. I know the two-part dress is super iconic, but I think this is an easy Halloween costume you can pull off with stuff from your closet or by thrifting! I already had all of this in my closet, except the skirt which I got off thredUP. I am a thredUP ambassador so you already know how convenient I think thredUP is and how many great items you can find! I had most of these items already in my closet, but if you don’t I highly recommend you head to thredUP.

I have wanted to throw a Taylor Swift party for YEARS! It only makes sense that I finally have it the first year of living on my own. I asked all of my friends to dress up in iconic Taylor Swift outfits and they all did! I’m so thrilled everyone was a good sport and dressed up. And their costumes look great! I actually supplied quite a few of the outfits you’ll see in this post, but what else are #Kimberkopys for?
Here is a TikTok I made of everyone’s outfits!
This is mainly a photo dump from my party, so I hope you enjoy! (And if you decide to throw a Taylor Swift party, I hope this blog post provides you with some inspiration).
Read More >>Taylor Swift Cape Cod Outfit Recreations
The summer of 2012 when Taylor Swift paraded around with the Kennedys continues to live rent free in my mind. I was obsessed with the outfits she wore then and I’m still obsessed with them now. Last year during lockdown, I started making these series of Taylor Swift Street Style recreations. It is always like a scavenger hunt to try to find pieces close to what Taylor wore during these specific eras. Taylor does such an excellent job of distinguishing eras with her style (although lately I have literally no idea what era we’re currently in). And while I’m trying to create a street style series for each album era, I wanted to do this series of Taylor’s outfits during the summer of 2012 when she was in Cape Cod. This was right before the release of RED. These outfits also reflect my personal style pretty well, (probably because Taylor has influenced my style since I was a teenager) so I had a lot of fun recreating them. I took all of these pictures last summer at my parents’ house, even though I wish I was in Cape Cod.
Full transparency: I really wish I could have posted this sooner in the summer because it looks like everyone is already ready for fall. But I’m getting this out before September even if I have to stay up all night! Even if your brain is jumping right into fall, I hope you find some last minute summer outfit inspo from this post.
Read More >>KimberKopy: Meredith Blake From The Parent Trap
Being young and beautiful is not a crime, you know?
I’ll be the first to say I am a HUGE Meredith Blake fan. I have wanted to do this KimberKopy for so long! The Parent Trap has always been one of my favorite movies. And recently, I feel like there is a cultural revelation for women my age who are starting to think “hmm… maybe Meredith a some point”. After all, she was only 26! Maybe she wasn’t the villain? Because if I had the option, to live with a handsome millionaire in Napa, I would!- twins be damned. She is an inspirational queen to this generation of women! Plus-the outfit she wears during this scene is iconic in itself and so easy to recreate. Elaine Hendrix DID THAT. Click below to check out more pictures and how to get this effortlessly chic summer look.
Read More >>Channeling Samantha Jones: Pink Power Blazer Set
Sending you a very tired and burned-out ‘hello’ from a girl who cannot catch a break when it comes to her 9-5 job. In the last 6 weeks, things have been so crazy busy with work and I’ve also been trying to adjust to some new organization changes within my company. When my work life gets hectic, I tend to drop off the face of the earth, especially on social media. Thankfully things have calmed down, but if there was one thing that gets me by during a time of corporate chaos… it’s looking like I have my shit together even if I do. I rented this bright pink blazer suit from Rent the Runway (my discount code is below!) and it was the most subtle and important move I made for myself during the last few weeks.
Since I’ve been working from home for over a year, I have gotten so lazy in my WFH outfits. I will literally roll out of bed at 8:30am, sit in front of my computer and start answering emails in my ratty pajamas. Then I won’t actually put on deodorant or change into real clothes until my lunch break at 1pm. Since I really had to up my game for my job in the last few weeks, I needed something that made me feel like boss bitch… but with not at lot of effort that would take me away from the work I needed to do. So the power blazer was a hit and I highly recommend. It’s giving major “Samantha Jones from Sex and the City” vibes and for that we are thankful. Give me strength Samantha! Similar blazers and the rest of my outfit details are linked below.
Read More >>Recreating Taylor Swift’s Fearless Era Candids
In honor of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) being released, I wanted to share a Kimberkopy project I did last summer, but never got around to posting. Honestly, the timing for this couldn’t be more perfect since I am just a big ball of nostalgia these days.
I love how for each era, Taylor has a very distinct style that reflects the vibe of the album. I was 13 when the original Fearless dropped in 2008. Back then, Taylor was such a style icon to not just me but every other teenage girl. (We really thought we were something huh?) Last year during quarantine, it became a fun game for me to thrift articles of clothing that Taylor has worn in the past, but in my size. I’m especially proud of this post because of all of the “Taylor Swift Style Exact” items I found online.
Here’s my Fearless Era Candid series. I hope these outfits give you as many flashbacks as the re-recorded songs do.

boys only want love if it’s torture, don’t say I didn’t, say I didn’t warn ya…
Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m keeping up with my usual traditions of not having a Valentine and recreating a scene from my favorite music video: Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’. At least I’m consistent. Doing this recreation definitely inspired me to come up with other Kimberkopy ideas, especially with the re-release of Fearless in April (can’t wait!). I think it is so fun doing these recreations. Black Space is my favorite music video Taylor has done and I’m really hoping one day I’ll be able to recreate every single outfit in the video. I mentioned in my post last year how much I want to visit the actual Blank Space mansion and that is still such a dream of mine! Not sure how possible it is because of COVID these days….but I hope you enjoy this recreation and have a lovely Valentine’s Day.
Martha May Whovier Recreation: Take 2
“Did I have a crush on the Grinch? Well of course not.”
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve done a Kimberkopy and last year’s Martha May Whovier costume was one of my favorites I’ve done! The Jim Carey version of The Grinch is my absolute favorite Christmas movie. I have probably watched it 25 times since Halloween and can quote the entire thing. I love the the detail of the sets, the sneaky adult humor and the costumes. THE COSTUMES! Christine Baranski serves so many looks in this movie and I love recreating them. Hope you like this one!
Read More >>3 Best Friends Costumes
Halloween is less than a week away! I don’t want to come on here and encourage anyone to go to a party or bar because in case you forgot, we’re still in a pandemic. But I know there are safe ways to celebrate the holiday this weekend. I wanted to show off some fun and easy best friends costumes with my actual best friend, Kayla. We took these at her house a few weeks ago after a homemade brunch. And as it turns out, for every single one of these costumes, I needed orange hair. Unfortunately I didn’t order the orange Overtone like I originally planned so I just edited these in Lightroom. I felt like it was a crime to edit over Kayla’s hair color, so that stayed. Hope you find some Halloween inspiration from these pics!
