Take back the night!

I do not want this to become a habit- but, again, sorry for the serious lack of updates. I guess you can say I have been chilling a lot this summer. Plus, it's really hard to blog (and very annoying) when you have no one to take the pictures for you. No holiday aboard this summer for me. But! I am going away to do some voluntary work for a substantial amount of time reeeeeaaaaalll soon- so watch this space!

Just the other week I met up for dinner at Shake Shack and cocktails at Chiquitos in Central, with a cool awesome friend of mine who is here from America. We had drama classes together at university, whilst I was studying in California. And let me tell you- she is a character! So American it's crazy! Haha. I love hearing her stories about her 'crazy' sorority, while in turn I tell 'harmless' stories of the co-ed fraternity I joined.

T-shirt- Primark
Necklace- Primark
Faux leather Dress (worn as a skirt)- Republic
Lipstick- Keko
Heels- Office

I decided to wear a simple, playful outfit. A little dressy dressy. Just a little. The shoes- I love! Could have come with a thicker heel though, but it's all good because they are easy to walk in. I love the sexy simplicity of them. The T-shirt reminds me of some Kanye West/ Jay-Z album artwork or something. I decided to throw it on top of the dress, as a LBD can get a bit boring sometimes, especially, if the occasion is a very casual one.

With the beautiful Savannah.

Strawberry daiquiri? Don't mind if I do!

Until next time lovlies xx

I Heart London, Part III: Millennium Bridge ...

Further down the Southbank, towards the Globe Theatre (go and catch a show there if you are a lover of Shakespeare) is the Millennium Bridge. Nicknamed the wobbly bridge due to it swaying on its opening day in 2000, the bridge brings out the modern landscape of the city, whilst being next to historic landscapes such as St Paul's Cathedral. Also next to the bridge is the Tate Modern. I have been there many times and enjoyed myself. Go there and check out the many galleries of art from modern and contemporary artists, most are free.

As you can tell, it's pretty windy up there. Regardless, it was fun taking pictures on the bridge with people walking past going about their business. This sweater I got from a boutique in San Francisco, sorry I can't remember the name, but it was in Haight-Ashbury, a dope area for independent stores and unique exterior houses. Check it out if you're in SF! It's warm and I brought it solely for the panels of fur on it. I haven't seen anything like it and it was love at first sight haha. I paired it with my Primark disco pants- a bargain at £7!! Happy days! You may remember, I wore them on my birthday here. These heels I also brought in the States- from Urban Outfitters, for *drumroll* $20!! You should have seen me when I picked them up and saw the discounted price- once again, another time where I didn't think twice! I love the wood detail of the base and heels, gives them edge. 

Stay tuned for the final part of this series of I Heart London- it's going to be EPIC! :D

I Heart London, Part I: Trafalgar Square...

My mate (who is also an awesome photographer) and I decided to be tourist in the city we grew up in- London! London is full of life and energy, any time of day, and is a great backdrop for amazing pictures with its historic buildings, modern bridges and all. 

As I am a fashion blogger, to make a day of it- we turned it into a photography day! (Yay! I love them! Haha). Therefore, I have done this 'series' in four parts- showcasing four different areas of London. So tune in for all!! :D

As this blog is seen around the world, I hope I have achieved in my aim to show you awesome people, near and far, cool things about the city... and my outfits! 

Now, Trafalgar Square is a go-to place for all- locals and tourists- to catch a street show or climb a lion (and to be harassed by pigeons). It is full of history and amazing statues of great people, including Nelson's Column. Located right off Haymarket, its a nice spot to simply chill, as there are fountains to spray you cool, (of course you'll only want that to happen if its a hot day). The National Gallery can also be seen in my pictures. Check it out if you can. One of the many galleries in London presenting works of art dating back to the mid- 13th century. It's free and you'll love it!

Regarding my outfit, I went into uber-comfy mode with it. What, even the shoes?! Yes, even the shoes are uber-comfy. I wish I can wear heels all day. These types of heels are really comfy as they have a wide platform- I was trotting along that Square without a care haha. They are from Forever 21- online. I am yet to buy in store in the UK, I miss the American branch too much. The jeans I've had for a while, and as you can see, are super baggy. The way I like. You may remember the shirt from my birthday, I copped this beauty from Primark- I can't wait to wear it alone on a beach- with bikini bottoms of course! 

It was a nice day, little on the chilling side, but the sun kept rearing its little head now and then so that made me happy.

Have you been T Square? What you make if it?

Hope you like the pictures. Watch this space for the other parts in this series!
