Black x White x Colour.


As you know, I'm a lover of the prints. Similar prints, clashing prints- give it to me all baby! However, I'm also a lover of the monochrome effect. I think you guys know this too, I've said it once or twice before haha! Anyways, what better way of showing things you love than combining them together in one cute 'fit? And so, that's what I did. You may have noticed this dress in my Primark haul earlier this year *note to self: I should do more hauls, I'm always buying!*. I don't wear it often but when I do, it's an easy going shift dress. I love the black and white colour block. Right in your face. No intricacy about it. I thinking off cutting of the arms... we'll see..
However, speaking of intricacy, this coat couldn't get more complicated! Haha! I love this purchase of mine! I wear it too often if I say so myself. Obviously not so much now... when the sun is out that is. You may remember it from LFW, that's when I first rocked it, and it's been love ever since. I am love with these flatform jellies too! A happy purchase of mine!
Dress: Primark.
Flatform jellies: Lizzi's.
Coat: River Island.
Bag: Ted Baker.

Until next time,

BUDAPEST 2014! Part Two.

Warning: pictures galore (again)!!
So here is Part 2 of my trip with the girls. These days were very chilled- we did a lot R and R- highly recommended!. Anyways, check out the pictures. As I'm making this post, I'm imagining myself back there- especially at the thermal baths in the sun. Ahhhhh take me back already!

DAY THREE.
This was our apartment block. Loved the architecture. 
Szechenyi thermal baths!
Such a great store idea! Loved the signage!
An upcycled bath outside a hostel!
Vintage!

Day three started with a trip to the Szechenyi thermal baths. Let me tell you, Butter and I did not want to leave! It was just so lush and we left there feeling a million dollars! Like seriously, it made you feel goooood! We were glowing afterwards! Szechenyi is the largest and most popular thermal baths in Europe. They do everything! We had a lot of fun in the baths, sauna and the pool that was freezing! So proud of myself, stayed in there for a good few minutes! Haha! If you go Budapest, you MUST go to Szechenyi. 
We then spent the rest of our last full day vintage shopping! Yay! Haha! I LOVE vintage shopping. Butter and I found some good finds. I loved walking the streets of Budapest- peaceful, clean and accompanied with amazing architecture. We also spotted an African and Caribbean restaurant! Looked yummy!
We ended the night first with a ride on Budapest's version of the London Eye-Óriáskerék! It was cool, we played music and obviously took loads of pictures as we went round 3 times. Budapest castle looked amazing at night. Finally, we ended up at Froccsterasz, which was a cool outdoor bar. We didn't have a 'crazy' one, but somehow we ended up getting home real late/early (however you want to see it haha).

DAY FOUR.
Last day selfie!! (Any excuse for a selfie!)
Be fearless! 
At the entrance of Chain Bridge.
Bye Budapest :(

Our last day in the beautiful land of Hungary was short and sweet. Our flight was in the afternoon, so we spent the day seeing the sights, like St. Stephen's Basilica and souvenirs shopping in an area near the start of the Chain Bridge. It was getting cloudy too- a sign that Budapest was sad that we were leaving? I'm taking it as that haha! We also went to the famous Cafe Gerbeaud. It was stunning. We didn't have much time, so we got macaroons to go! Ummm. I want some now! Haha! We ended up rushing to the airport, cutting the security line (with permission, obviously), to only discover our plane wasn't even there! Haha! Typical.

I had a fab holiday with my girls and definately reccommed Budapest as a hoilday destination. I met great people and saw awesome sights and did fun things. I'm truly blessed.

Tony Awards :My 10 best dressed.

This weekend saw the Tony Awards, celebrating America's best, on and off Broadway. This is not much heard about over here. Nevertheless, it's always good to check out the red carpet fashion. So, here you go, here's my top 10!
TEN

This is a very rich deep colour. It looks great with dark hair. The dress is not that amazing but simplicity of it works. The hem line is a great length too- very summery. This would look great with a fedora and floral print wedges.
NINE

I know this dress is not very award show-y, nevertheless, Anika looks hot to trot in it! Leopard print is (usually) sexy and with the slit, this dress is gorgeous. I love the earrings and hairstyle too. Just what this dress needs. 
EIGHT

The hair, earrings and hair are just right! This is such a rich two tone colour. The cut of the dress looks like it needs more work to be honest, but the colour makes up for it (just a bit). All in all, it's a beautiful dress. 
SEVEN

Sophie looks stunning! The dress is so right for her. She is glowing. I love the sparkles it gives. It's nothing overly special, but she it has the elegant touch. The waist band could have been another colour too, but this one works. Cute clutch too.
SIX

This is such a cool colour. So bold and out there. It's awesome. It looks stunning here, and the earrings are a great match too. This look is so grand for the Tony's! Perfect hair too! 
FIVE

The detail of this dress is beautiful. The gold looks lovely. But...it looks a bit washed out on her. Nevertheless, it is a stunning and very elegant dress. I really like the neckline. Cute little clutch too. I would love to wear something like this to an evening event. 
FOUR

Ok, so this is not the most flattering picture, but the other ones were not great quality. Anyways, I love the colour and cut of this dress. Screams summer. It is simple but very cute. I think it would look lovely with a multi-coloured statement necklace and gold metallic heels. 
THREE

I love the structure of this dress! It looks so sturdy ... can you sit in it? Haha. I really like the beading too, but, I'm not so sure on the design. It's like she is wearing a waistcoat. Nevertheless, the detail is so intricate and impressive, I would love to rock this dress. Great hairstyle choice too, hair swept back so the beauty of the dress can be shown. 
TWO

This dress probably couldn't get any more simpler, but Leighton looks absolutely stunning. The hairstyle is adding to the glam too. It is such a clean look. The silhouette gives the dress an elegant look. Love. 
ONE
This dress screams Great Gatsby! Love the silver, feathers and sparkles! Maggie looks so wonderful in this, and her hair cut helps too! It doesn't need heavy accessorising as it can easily stand alone. But, Swarovski studs wouldn't go amiss. Nevertheless, love love love it. She is just missing a silver metallic clutch. That's all. It's not to everyone's taste, but for such an occasion, it works!

Do you agree with my order? What  do you think?

Until next time,
