Blooming!

October 5, 2016

Lately I have been juggling a few projects at a time and worrying so much about the execution, money and all these factors that you have no control over after some piont. Sometimes you may feel like that even as a blogger making sure the look your sharing is perfect, when in reality its not always like that and that really is the story about this style shoot too. But I’m so over it, (I should sound more articulate) but honestly sometimes we all need a reality check, when I first put this outfit together I was like errrr its all wrong but when I got to shooting, I felt comfortable in my skin. I felt great and it really showed when i saw the final pictures, being comfortable in your skin results for a overall amazing finish, and that goes for many different things in life! Even if it may just be jeans, a bra top and heels!

If you’re going to love, love free

If you’re going to grow, grow free

If your going to heal, heal free

Less restrictions on your bloomings!

The End Of Summer Season

September 29, 2016

Hey Guys, I’m still sharing with you guys my New York Fashion Week style shots I took while enjoying the end of summer in the states. Just like that another summer has gone by 🙁 I always enjoy summer fashion you can feel sexy letting your glow shineeeee! It’s the season where colour blocking looks bomb and showing more skin is more fashionable 9within reason) and you wear outfits that are more freeing!

I shot some pieces with my friend and talented artist and photographer Ike, on the rooftop of our apartment in Williamsburg, embracing the ambiance of New York. How beautiful is this city?

Manhattan Living

September 21, 2016

The yearly trip to New York was a world wind of networking, fashion, friends and having a good time. For those who follow me on Instagram and on Snap Chat for 2 weeks I was in the US for a number of fun festivities. First I headed to Philadelphia for two days for Made in America Festival, which consisted of seeing the likes of Rihanna, Chance the Rapper, Cold Play and many more of my favourite music artists. Then I headed back to New York for Fashion Week events, parties and of course to catch-up with old and new friends.

New York is such a fast pace city, with so much going for young creatives and most importantly the opportunity to collaborate. When I was out there I really saw young, smart women come together and work on projects and just bring one another in on opportunities which was so empowering to witness. It is something I want to embrace here in the UK, we have amazing black girls killing it within their creative area’s of expertise and it is important that we stand together and create amazing moments. Especially when the opportunities are not being handed to us, we have to stand and create them together!

I got to shoot some of my New York style looks starting with these with the dope visual creator Pierre!

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.

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!

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.
