Think about the place where you first MET me…

So I decided to do the Met Gala challenge! I’m pretty proud of myself for even trying to recreate something for the challenge and we all have to admit that this tinfoil mess does kind of resemble the original Louis Vuitton masterpiece (see below). I honestly just keep laughing to myself whenever I look at the side-by-side, but you get the point right? Regardless of how ‘accurate’ this dress is, I had fun making it and I’m happy I only used what I already had in the house to do it. If you’ve been on my blog before, you already know I really enjoy recreating famous photos and outfits. I got so excited when I saw Vogue and Billy Porter started a #metgalachallenge in place of the Gala that was supposed to happen this Monday. And course I had to participate with a Taylor Swift look.

This blog post has been in the works since January. I’ve always loved Taylor Swift’s street style, so I want to start a new series here on the blog of recreating some of my favorite looks. First up: The Lover Era. Now compared to other eras, there have not been a ton of candid options for me to pick from. But I still had a lot of fun finding pieces for these four looks. Everything I’m wearing is either rented, thrifted, from a small business, or something I already owned. Details and more pictures are below!

Words cannot describe how excited I am to FINALLY share this Taylor Swift AMAs recreation. I have been sitting on this idea for MONTHS! Taylor wore this gorgeous Julien Macdonald dress to the 2019 American Music Awards back in November. The moment I laid eyes on it, I was thinking “OMG…I could totally recreate that”. Definitely took a while to implement but here we are. After all, the color green is big in March, so I like to think that even though I’m late on delivery I’m still on brand. More pictures, how I made this dress and the story on where I shot these pictures are all below!

You’re the king baby I’m your queen.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I think I’m making it a tradition to post a Blank Space recreation every year on Valentine’s Day. Last year when I did this recreation, I think it was the first time I actually bought an entire costume and props just for a recreation. And in just a year we have come a long way! Thank God Blank Space has so many iconic outfits and thank God my attitude towards dating and men right now is still pretty in sync with the message of this music video (not actually, but kinda). Details on where I got everything for this outfit and scene are below!

So I’ve been sitting on these pictures for a few weeks now, but was waiting to share them. In honor of Taylor Swift’s 30th birthday today, I recreated a few scenes from her Lover music video. I have a feeling she’s going to drop a new single soon, so I’m glad I got these done before then. SHE’S 30 TODAY I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. I could honestly go on and on about Taylor’s birthday, but I really don’t have the time to convey that right now. She just won artist of the decade for Billboard and at the AMAs and I am so proud of her. SO WELL DESERVED. But back to these photos: I used Photoshop for the first time on a few of these! I’m not a pro at either Photoshop or Lightroom, but hey I got it done, right? I also didn’t have to spend a ton of money on these looks because I either borrowed, thrifted, rented or already had all of these pieces. So that’s a personal accomplishment as well. More pics below!

Whether you’ve been following my blog for a while or just stumbled upon it today, you should have figured out by now how much I love Taylor Swift. Total Stan Status. Most of my KimberKopy’s are actually recreations of Taylor Swift outfits and music videos! So in order to celebrate “13 years of Taylor Swift”, I knew I had to do something from her debut album. For those that don’t know, 13 years ago today, Taylor released her first album (and 13’s are a big deal). I have to admit that I didn’t really listen to Taylor or country music when her first album came out, but after discovering her during the Fearless era, she and her music have become such a huge part of my life. For so many years I’ve treated her album releases like Christmas morning, waited eagerly by the TV to see what she was wearing to an award show, saved up money to afford a ticket to her concerts, and spent countless hours listening to her music whether I was happy, heartbroken or just needed to feel understood.

I know that Taylor doesn’t own the masters to most of her work, including her debut album and this song, but I still wanted to share this recreation 1. I am so excited for her to rerecord her albums next year and 2. Despite what has happened and how much I support Taylor, I will always be thankful that on this day 13 years ago she released her first album and changed the music industry and my life forever.

You need to calm down… you’re being too loud… I have been waiting to do these recreations since the YNTCD music video came out (which was in JUNE)! It took forever for all of these pieces to come in and I have been so busy lately I haven’t had any time to shoot new photos. So BIG thanks to Allison for taking time out of her Saturday to take these photos of me and then force me to go to Orange Theory after. Something I’m doing slightly different with these posts is adding a part called “Story Behind The Outfit” where I talk about how I got the pieces and any fun facts. Let me know if you like that in the comments!

Lover is officially out! I feel like I’ve been waiting for this album for sooooo long but also this time has flown by. It’s midnight and I’m about to listen to the whole album from iTunes and then I’m getting up at 6:30am to go to Target to get the physical copy and bonus booklets (Taylor Swift’s diaries? Yes, I’ll take ALL OF THEM). I’ll make a post of my first thoughts and ratings for the songs and post them later, but for now I wanted to share some Lover recreation posts I did and some Lover era clothing I found that is all super reasonable. Although I would gladly accept anything from Lirika Matoshi because it is literally perfect for the Lover era, I already know I’m going to throw away all my money this week solely to Taylor Swift. Also, GO LISTEN TO LOVER AND BUY THE ALBUM ON ITUNES!

Words cannot describe how excited I am about this post!!! Ever since I stayed up until midnight to watch the ME! music video on April 26th, I have been obsessed with it, especially the @MoniqueLhuillier ‘Velvet Bodice Appliqué Tulle Cocktail Dress’. But you know I don’t have $5,000 just lying around so I did my best to recreate that gorgeous gown. And I asked my childhood best friend, Kayla to go on a little photo adventure with me to the Walter’s Museum in Baltimore to try to get a similar setting to the music video (check out Kayla’s photography here, she is so amazingly talented). I love recreating Taylor Swift looks (check out my Blank Space shoots here and here) and I literally cannot contain my excitement for the TS7 era (HMU if you want to talk theories because I’ve got TONS). So here is me trying to recreate some of the scenes in the music video. Hope you like them as much as I do!
