Everyday Getup

August 24, 2016

This is basically my everyday get up and go attire when I have 5 minutes to figure out what I am going to wear. To be honest that is exactly what happened when I was getting ready to shoot this and I just grabbed what I wore a few days before to basically show you LOL!

Evolving personal style is such a close personal experience and I hate that sometimes as a blogger you may feel a little pressured to look like you’re on a runway living fabulous. When in reality life is not like that, sometimes it’s all about a pair of jeans, a cute T and heels and then you run out the door to conquer the day.

Be Free!

August 16, 2016

Another style post but more importantly a post with a message and its simple be free! Do not allow yourself to be defined by your job or your title, how many hustles you have going on and a big one for this millennial generation, ‘what do you do?’

You is just enough before any of these additional applications come into play. I, myself recently experienced this. I would hold onto my job title, who and what I was affiliated with to feel like I’m on the level of where I am supposed to be as the next 25 year old girl. When things changed I then questioned everything! Who am I, people asked me questions and I couldn’t answer as they were questions linked to being defined by my title or job and I didn’t have that so I was like well….nothing. But it is not true, you will always have an answer, right in front of them, and it is yourself!

Be free and own being yourself, it is the most freeing discovery ever, and as a result things have fully changed and changed for the better and opened up a bigger sense of purpose, just from a result of owning being me. So be free, except who you are and never let another person, job, or anything define you. You define yourself and that is the most freeing thing ever!

So my style post is me, Olivia Gold, being free in a green mini dress, YSL heels and Levi denim jacket.

God is good and he will always show you the light!

Some Old, Some New But Its Cute!

August 10, 2016

I have been trying to be more creative with what’s new and old in my wardrobe. It feels like up to four times a year I really look at all my clothes and think what the hell is all of this rubbish?! I just start to not appreciate all my bargains, classic staple pieces and even fun seasonal random purchases that I have accumulated over the years. It is so funny how we switch up our minds on everything. But now I am not going to cry that I don’t have clothes and really appreciate all my fashion buys as it all a part of my style evolution.

Saying all of the above I took it back a little and wore this crop top that I got last year from Misguided and paired it with this ASOS skirt that I had never worn before! When I purchased it, it was too big but as I have gained a little weight (yes I am now a bottom size 10 and proud) it now fits perfectly. It is such a simple two piece outfit but as the blue is quite a strong shade of indigo blue, it really adds a chic vibe to it, along with the lace choker too!

So I have mixed some old and some new and love this outfit, try it and see what looks you pull together!

All Things Beauty With Farfetch!

August 9, 2016

So I have been strictly fashion and lifestyle when it comes to blogging but my eyes and ears have finally opened up into the world beauty, which is all things makeup and skin care. Beauty plays a huge part in completing your personal style, adding to your personal aesthetic to the amazing facial features and maintaining young, glowing skin.

To immerse myself in the world of beauty, I attended Farfetch’s first beauty blogger event at the London Make-up School for an evening of beauty demonstrations of the current SS16 beauty looks that graced the runway! It was really great to have a professional make-up artist take us through the different looks and show us the best application when applying these looks.

It was such a fun evening as I went with my friends and made new friends too! In my goodie bag was a Oskia Renaissance Mask, It’s been a week and I have used it twice. I think after another week or 2 and I will definitely share an update on how good I think it is. Which will be on my Snapchat so make sure you are following me!!!
