Everyone should have a guilty pleasure. It might be sneaking in the occasional chocolate. Or going without exercise (and eating the chocolate).

My guilty pleasure is definitely something I've only started to accept.

I've kept it a secret for so long.

You see, when hubby and bub are both asleep, I get on Instagram and DailyMail (I did say 'guilty' didn't I?) and search daily pictures of Kim Kardashian.

I know. I'm sorry. Please feel free to stop reading.

I often wonder how someone so hated managed to rack up 27 million (and growing by the day!) Instagram followers. No matter where you stand, there is no denying how influential she (and the rest of her 'they do nothing' family) have become.

I wouldn't call myself a Kardashian fan (I've only seen one episode of KUWTK- by accident I might add). And my visit to their DASH store in Soho (2012) was probably as exciting as watching paint dry. I am more intrigued by the transformation Kim has undergone since meeting Kayne. Who can forget that time he raided her wardrobe and made her throw out her clothes?

I died a little inside.

More than anything, I am a big fan of her new look. While it took some convincing (high fashion while you're pregnant is awkward and uncomfortable), I am definitely a believer now. Sure, she's not a natural fashionista (think Kate Moss, Alexa Chung), but she takes risks (who can forget that flowery Givenchy dress she wore to the Met?) and for that, I admire her.

Ok,so "admire" might be too strong a word to use. But you get my point.

I love some of her new looks so much I even recreated an outfit she wore recently (just without the hefty price tag- and booty). Here it is:
