Beat It And Go Wild!

It's no secret that I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan and a big part of my fanship to Michael is included in my wardrobe! Now that the sun has started to shine in London I am using the opportunity to bring out some of my MJ t-shirts and incorporate them into my summer style with a little flair. In a recent post of mine I decided to wear a tee in a more dressy way, this time I thought I would put a casual spin on things. 

I thought I would wear a modern tee with a vintage look and pair it with a bright and fun skater skirt. The "Beat It" style t-shirt which is currently available from our online store King Of Shop is one that I think works with many different looks. Available in UK sizes 6-20 and at the current sale price of just £14! The world famous image used on record sleeves and vintage t-shirts all over the world has made a comeback and it's one that all the ladies seem to enjoy wearing, especially me!

With the cute folded sleeves and red diamanté adornments this one that was most definitely going to be worn by me this season. I like to colour coordinate as many things as possible and so I thought I would wear my scarlet red lipstick and pair it with this red pleather skirt from Primark both items are in size 20. 

It seems that music t-shirts are available this summer and I can only assume that with all the fun festivals happening over the next few weeks that many people will be wearing their chosen act...

As I have mentioned in the past I used to just wear mine with a simple pair of jeans for comfort and ease but I really want to show that you can have fun when styling t-shirts. For this one I could have gone a totally different way and used the teal colours in the t-shirt to help me complete the look. Pastels are huge at the moment so maybe a turquoise clutch or nail polish would look cool. Teal or Turqouise leggings or jeans would have been a cool way to go also. I guess my love of vintage styles had me reaching for the red pinup colours with this one lol. 

At King Of Shop we have decided to showcase that the King Of Pop can and should be worn with serious style and flair in our Respect Your Monarch campaign. Fans and friends alike are all taking pics wearing MJ in fun and fashion forward ways and you'll be seeing more posts like this from me in the near future. 

If any of you are wearing music tees this season I'd love to see who your chosen picks are and how you've made them work with your style. Feel free to drop me an email or a message so I can see what you've come up with!

Jackson Action - My Take On Billie Jean Chic

When it comes to casual clothing items many people struggle with adding a little style and finesse into their look. It's no secret how much of a Michael Jackson fan I am and I thought that with all the t-shirts I have I need to switch things up a little. My aim was to see what I can do to make some of my tees more feminine and fashion forward.

I pulled out one of my favourites and decided to work with the colours there. Lucky for me black, white and grey were my choices. All MJ fans like to incorporate signature things from his look into their style especially when wearing something with his name or face on. I decided to play around with a style I like to call Billie Jean Chic. I would usually do the easy thing and wear an MJ t-shirt with a pair of jeans so I thought, let me go the other way and pick out a skirt. From Primark, this size 20 tube skirt was my choice. The horizontal stripes in black and white really compliment the t-shirt design and despite my belly being on show I still love the look and feel confident wearing it! I played around with the t-shirt tucking it into the skirt, tying a knot to make it more fitted in it's style and letting it hang over the skirt. In the end I decided I prefer the tee either tucked in or draped over the skirt and knotted. As this is a men's t-shirt in XL I wanted a more tailored fit for my more dressy style. We have recently got this t-shirt in stock over at King Of Shop so if you like it you can pick it up in sizes S-XL. 

Billie Jean as one of Michael's most famous songs sees the king of pop wearing the world famous black sequin jacket. Mine is the gorgeous Veronette Cardigan from Igigi, US Size 22/24. The Jacket comes complete with a sash belt which you can use to close the jacket and fasten it shut, I thought I would wear mine true to MJ's style and leave it loose. XL tights from Primark and a pair or suede high heeled shoes I was more than ready to hit the town in this number! 

I like to showcase the fact that I'm an MJ fan and if I can do that with a little style and fun then I most certainly will! I'm sure you'll see me playing around with some of my other t-shirts soon and you can give me your feedback lol. 

No MJ style look would be complete without mirrored aviators! When I saw this pair I had to do a double take as they are really similar to a pair he wore when I saw him in London for the 2006 World Music Awards. He wore the most amazing pair of diamond framed shades. Mine are of course an imitation but for £3 in Primark you simply can't go wrong! 

Many of us have the odd outfit influenced by a celebrity and for me Michael was the one person who's style I found to be a fun and playful challenge. His look was most definitely his own and as he was not afraid of sequins, glitz and glam I thought it might be fun to add a twist to his look and see if I could adapt it to suit my own. 

I know I'm 2 days late but this month's magnificent 7th challenge was to replicate the style of a celebrity and as Michael's Billie Jean style was created for the stage I thought it best to adapt the look. Check out some of the posts for the others bloggers in the challenge and see what celeb styles they tried out:

Kaye, Becky, Nicola, Gail, Mary, Kathryn, Steph, Charley, Rebecca, 

Leah, Lindsey, Vicky, Nikki, Christina, Leah, Nancy, Beverly,

Off The Wall Ladies T-Shirt Now In Plus Size

It's no secret that I am a HUGE Michael Jackson fan and many of you know that myself and the other members of the King Of Shop team are always trying to bring out new styles and a variety of items in apparel. I am so excited to let you all know that we are trialling a new line of plus size t-shirts!

Most of the official t-shirts to come from Triumph International and/or Bravado come in the standard S, M, L and XL with a standard round neck. Many of our customers have been emailing us and asking for different size styles and neck types and I personally am really happy to let you all know that many ladies fit t-shirts have come to the site for petite ladies and for some of the ladies shaped like myself... PLUS SIZE! I can't contain my excitement!  

In the plus size range the sizes are available in 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL. In these pics I wear a 2xl shirt. A standard XL fits me fine but I wanted that extra chest room for my bust. Depending on your proportions you may decide to size up or down. 

What I love about this design in particular is that it celebrates one of the best albums to ever be recorded. Off The Wall is a much loved album for all Michael fans and many music loves worldwide. The world famous image used makes this one a classic design that has been received by fans for the past few years. 

The t-shirt is available at just £17 and would be a nice casual piece for the spring and summer season. Get yours here while stocks last! 

Neon Thriller T-Shirt Review - A King Of Shop Exclusive!

One thing we all have in common is that we like to sometimes be a lot less dressy than usual and a little more casual in our style. When I take the glam down a bit I like to wear my Michael Jackson t-shirts. I usually pair these with a simple black pair of jeans or leggings.
Anyone who knows me is aware that I am HUGE Michael Jackson fan, so much so that some friends and I started a publication and online store a few years ago about the King Of Pop.

From the success of our magazine, 'Michael Jackson's Iconic Magazine' we were soon in a position to start www.king-of-shop.com an online emporium for all official Michael Jackson merchandise and apparel. We have collaborated with Bravado merchandising for quite some time now and endeavour to bring some of the latest official designs to the market for the fans and music lovers of MJ.

Our latest design to come out is 100% exclusive to us and celebrates the world's largest selling album of all time, Thriller. The Neon Thriller T-shirt comes available in the 4 sizes S, M, L and XL. I picked this one up in an XL.

Sorry about the lighting in this picture.

I was little under the weather when I took this picture sorry about the sad expression guys x

I love the fit as it's smooth, comfortable and feels great on! With such a bright and different colour-way this is a style that would suit both guys and girls. I personally will be pairing this one with some bright coloured jewellery most likely. There are many colours to pull from so the options are endless! 

The guys out there may want to play around with brightly coloured socks, wrist bands and fitted caps for example.

I look forward to seeing how people make this one work for best for them. 

If you are familiar with the short film for Thriller then you'll find the image design a familiar one:
