Keeping It Blush

May 26, 2016

Keeping things blush and trying to keep spring vibes around, I wore a light pink shirt a few weeks ago and styled it with a classic pair of white, wide leg trousers.  Tailored cuts are forever a staple piece in one’s wardrobe! I couldn’t tell you how many times I have worn these trousers and in so many ways! Outfits like this remind me why it is so key to collect timeless stylish pieces and store them away; and this right here, is one of them!

2 years ago I made it a rule to ONLY shop for classic pieces that I could have for a long time and when I look at this outfit it reminds why! Simple, classic and forever chic. Style is supposed to be easy for every day and fun for a great occasion but most importantly creating everlasting fashion moments. I will definitely be picking up my classic piece mantra and let you know what else I purchase!

The Leg Wrap

May 19, 2016

Shoes, shoes shoes! When I see a beautiful pair of heels its a match made in heaven! I was shopping with my family a few weeks ago and I came aross these Stuart Weitzman Leg Wrap heels, I was so drawn, the purchase experience took place within 5 minutes of looking at them.

Since I became aware of the brand in 2014 I have been a fan of thier classic style and quaility leather material used to piece a simple but detailed shoe designs. I think the Leg Wrap heels are fun, chic and sassy for the summer season. you can dress it up or down and I went for a dress down look, keeping it casual because thats how my life has been; casual day to day outfitd for work and to be honest life has been positivly busy!

So I styled my new Stuart Weitzman with Levi Vinatge jeans and a Wolford Filigra Lace Pullover taking advantage of Londons sun that was beaming.

Whats your summer shoe favourite this season?

Boy Meets Girl

May 6, 2016

 

Not so long ago I was getting really irritated when I would wear tops that were of a tight fit. I wanted to feel comfortable and anything tight was not the best option. Honestly all I wanted to wear were loose fit t-shirts or tops that I could just throw on roll out when I needed to head out. This post is an outfit I constantly repeated (I have no shame to admit I repeat) that is what clothes are for! 

I got hooked to wearing this cute, stripy Adidas T-shirt, with Zara leather culottes. It was easy, comfortable and very boy meets girl vibe. Most time I did honestly pair the look with Adidas trainers (all white superstars) to be exact. When I did wear this outfit with heels it was always a simple sandal heel that added a simple chic feminine affect. 

I really enjoy easy outfits that you can throw on and walk out the door, knowing that you look bomb with the least amount of effort. What’s your go to quick outfit? I may need to borrow your looks next!

Spring Season

April 22, 2016

When spring begins I always feel a sense of excitement and happiness. The sun tends to bring a feeling of relaxation, which is needed!

With more sunny days ahead I have been trying to keep to my style objective, experimenting with brighter and fun colours. I think I am doing ok so far (always room for improvement)! I paired a nude mini leather skirt, with a black silk cami and a white blazer. I actually miss wearing a blazer, it really completes for a simple, classy and chic look. To add some edge I wore black open toe cut-out knee high boots which I got for £35.00 from £120.00 in Topshop’s mid-season sale! I was super happy and surprised by the final price, what a steal! If you are looking for seasonal gems, I think now is a good time to get shopping.

My advice – Get summer glam ready but on a budget, dont spend more than you need to.

25 & Strong

April 6, 2016

25 Strong? Those two words mean more to me now, than I would ever know!

I am stepping into a new season in many ways this spring, starting with turning 25 on the 12th April! At the end of last year I was anxious to turn 25 thinking I’m old lol. But now I am fully embracing this new chapter, being confident in my body, mind and spirit. I love and value the people in my life, family, friends and my man. Living in the moment and enjoyed the journey. It is now time for me to put my life into 5th gear and propel in new opportunities, focusing on my career like never before.

On another note I have been working at an amazing global branding agency and my contract comes to an end In two weeks and I will be embarking on a new chpater career wise. It’s a scary, vulnerable time, I don’t know what the future holds but its time I take my destiny into my own hands and go for what I truly want, I know god has got me all the way!

Its time to get uncomfortable to be comfortable 🙂

Power In Simplicity

March 30, 2016

Simplicity can reference many things in your life, such as style, purpose, approach and beliefs. I’ve learnt over the last few years to keep my goals and mind-set simple, which helps you to flow through life sustaining your focus and reducing moments of anxiety. (Remember you can’t pray and worry at the same time!). I know sometimes it is easier said than done but this is a mantra that comes with practice, discipline and time. Do not let worry override in your mind and heart.

I also use this approach when it comes to fashion. Not thinking too hard and dressing for how I feel in that moment in time, so that I keep the process simple and fun! When I do that, I always end up putting together the finest outfits.  Fashion is best when its fun and just becomes a part of you instead of you trying to be apart of the hype. Do you as you do that best.

Casual Comforts

March 10, 2016

It’s still very cold in London, and I can’t go out without wrapping up! Being comfortable, cosy and warm is a necessity for me nowadays. I remember when I was in a teenager and I could just go out with cardigan and just deal with the sharp wind but now, no no no!

Jumper and jeans have been my go to as of recent, I like feeling warm, comfortable butdressing girlly and chic. This weekend I went to a new magazine launch called Signature’s magazine, a new art publication showcasing the best of Africa’s artist, check them out. I also when went on a late date night with bae and had the best fried fish ever! Yes I am a seafood girl. I was out all day and night on Saturday and this combo really worked for me. I felt, sexy and most importantly warm!

The best thing about a pair of nice jeans and classic heel is, whatever top you wear it will always look cute because you have the balance of casual and dressy all in one.
