Jumpsuit and heels.

This jumpsuit is super comfy and so easy to wear.  I have worn it numerous times but it has to be said, it looks best when it's paired with heels. It just elevates you and turn this sports style into something more sophisticated I reckon. The jumpsuit is not a colour I would normally wear, but none the less, it's great when you don't want to make a loud statement (then again, I can style it and make the outfit 'loud' haha). I've had these heels from ASOS for like forever and a day now, and though they are high, they are really comfortable to walk in. It the buckle detailing that got me. You may be able to tell from the pictures but the weather was just not on my side- it was rainy, dark and windy- not fun. Still got to pose through it eh!
Oh, and how dope is this backdrop! Love the colours!

School girl chic.

I feel like I'm giving off the school girl look here- just with a bit more edge. Basically, if I could have designed my school uniform, using the given: shirt; jumper; and skirt, it would look similar to this. I copped this skirt from a vintage fair I went to last year and if I remember correctly, it was only a fiver! I fell for the pleats and the colour (of course), and it is so comfy and floaty, great for warm/summer weather (shame we won't be getting any here any time soon). It's longer too, but I rolled it up a bit- wanted to give the shoes a show.
As I mentioned in my Primark haul, I am getting more and more impressed with what Primark is offering us. I got this sweater from there. It was a tenner and I didn't think twice. I love the print on it- like it has a story to tell.
Now onto my bag. My new baby! I got this side bag from the Ted Baker Sweet Shoppe that was up after Christmas in Westfield (I don't know if it is still there).There were so many colours to choose from, I am glad I eventually decide on this nude/bronze one. It's beautiful and I love how the metallic straps and detailing perk up an outfit!

Coca-Cola.


I am in LOVE with this skirt that I designed and got made whilst out in Rwanda. I got soooo many clothes made, my blog may just become all about those awesome things! Haha. I got the inspiration for the skirt from the ASOS magazine that I took out there with me (It’s always a great read for inspiration). Hailee Steinfeld, the beautiful cover star, was wearing a similar open, double layer skirt (well, I don’t really know what to call this design) and I knew that it would be so cute in this Coca-Cola Africa print (yup! This skirt is a genuine Rwandan print!). I was so happy with the results; summer needs to come so I can rock it like this-wearing tights won’t do it justice! I don’t know if you can tell, but I’m pretty freezing in these pictures- all in the name of fashion ey!

I did not want to steal the light away from the skirt so the only choice was to pair it with black. I love these latest heels I got from Primark. They are actually really comfortable (though it is advisable that when you are purchasing open toe shoes, you should get a size smaller) and upgrade the outfit. Wearing red lippy helps the colours of the skirt pop, especially as it is featured in the skirt. Once again, I added my cheap and cheerful car boot find clutch-man, £1.50 can go a long way! Haha!

Primrose Hill


As a continuation from my last post, part of the day was spent in Primrose Hill. Have you been there? It's pretty cool. Go to the top and you will get an epic view of London and all its beauty! We decided to have a picnic and take a break from trailing Camden. 
Outfit wise, I opted for something very light and breezy. We are having such lovely weather, I have to abuse it while it lasts!! The beanie was a semi-mistake to take out, as it was so hot, majority of the time I was just carrying it! Nonetheless, it brought a pop of colour to the outfit- and you know me! I love my colour!









Beanie-eBay
Gilet-F21
Dress-ASOS
Shoes-Office
Pairing the faux-leather gilet with the dress gave the outfit some edge, making it not so innocent and sweet!! Today was the first time I wore this lovely dress from ASOS, after having it for sooooo long. It's such a summer stunner, with its standout crochet detail!! Thinking beach bar! The shoes are from Office. They are really good and great if you love getting height from you footwear at any opportunity like me! They replicate the jelly sandals, which have made a major comeback! Do you remember owning a pair? I do!!

Camden Coffee House


Last week Thursday I met up with my mates Chrissie (Butter) and Amirah (Valu) for lunch and a good ol' catch up. It was actually a day to celebrate too- as my exams results came in on Wednesday- and I'm pleased to say I GOT A FIRST in my law undergraduate degree! Woo hoo! My hard work paid off and I couldn't be any happier. 
We started the day at Camden Coffee House. Located just opposite Sainsbury's is where you'll find this cute, chic and boutique coffee house. The sun was blazing so how could we not sit in their hidden garden. It felt very secluded- hence why it is a hidden one I guess. Butter ordered strawberry tea which tasted divine, I opted for a banana and strawberry smoothie, with a piece of banana bread. Now, I am a sucker for banana bread- I reckon I can live off that alone for a week! Though I doubt that's wise. I can say without hesitation that that banana bread was simply the best! Seriously, if you are a lover of banana bread like myself, you MUST try it at Camden Coffee House.





Everyone meet the beauitful Butter. Well, Chrissie. Check out her awesome blog on all things natural!

Have you noticed that baby picture?? Top left hand corner! So CUTE! Haha



 The service was very warm and friendly, the guy actually pulled a few jokes with us. Their menu is superb and I'm sure you'll find what you want for lunch there! I do not drink coffee, but I'm sure they do have the best coffee in Camden, like they claim. I say the prices are reasonable, but hey! They could always be cheaper! Haha! It's a great place to chill alone, or with mates, or with a book and abuse their free wifi!
