Grandma's vintage.

This blazer has not been featured on the blog since my first post! Funny, as I wear it, like, all the time. Anyways, I've had this blazer for years and will never tire of it. It was my grans. She had style alright! (this is one of many things I have of hers). It literally goes with anything, and if not, I just wear it anyways. Here, I decided to make it the show and pair it with an all black ensemble. I'm rocking my new skort from Primark- it's really cool. A smart pair of shorts basically. And my red beanie that I hardly wear- it makes the red from the rest of the outfit (and me lips) pop!

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!

Five Guys.


Have you heard of Five Guys? Of course you have!
I recently went to the Five Guys in Leicester Square, with a friend and I have to say, I think it's the best burger and fries I've had at a London eatery! Seriously, everything was fresh and deliciously tasty. It was pleasantly surprising to see that they did not use any freezers on the premises, and the fact that 'little' fries and a 'little' cheeseburger, were really large portions that filled me right up!! I loved how the kicthen area was so open too, they have nothing to hid. Oh, and the food came foiled wrapped and in these brown American style grocery bags- soooo unique! Nice change from those diner red containers eh!
You can also picked up some free peanuts if you fancy!
It's a great hangout spot, hours can past before you realise haha. Just get there before it gets busy, you'll be waiting outside in the cold. But... it'll be worth it!
I'm looking forward to my next visit!

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!

African print.


If you have been following my blog (if not, please do and let me know about your blog!), you'll know that late last year I went to Rwanda to do to some volunteer missionary work with the people that need US the most. I had the best time ever, meeting beautifully blessed people and strengthening my faith. I also got the chance to get loads of garments made personally for me. The dress maker, Josephine, was so lovely and patient. Bless her, we all were so  eager with getting as much things as possible. Haha. Check out my blog documenting  my time there-the link is on the right. :D
And this suit is something I got made. With all the items I got made, I chose the material. I LOVE the African prints I saw out there. I knew that I wanted to get a matching blazer and pant suit and as soon as I saw this material, I knew it had to be for it. The colours and print are popping!I found so many beautiful prints out there, too many to choose from haha. I doubt anyone else in the world has this suit, if you find that said person, bring them to my attention haha!
I so happy with how it turned out, she did a great job!!

Midnight black.


Saturday gone was my first time out in a really (really, really) long time. I'm talking first time out in months. It's not a big deal really- to be honest, I'll take going to the pictures instead. Haha! Anyways, it was for a mate's birthday do. It was a lot of fun as it was also a reunion with some girls I studied in China with. Now, I actually wasn't able to take outfit photos for ze blog on the actual night (having too much fun I guess), so I decided to recreate the outfit I wore to share with you all. You're welcome. Haha! I'm playing. I went for all black everything. I've been wearing a lot of black recently. Don't take it wrong, I do love my colour, but wearing black I feel can be just as fun, plus it's sexy and automatically stylish.








I LOVE this crop top and jogger pants. Both from the River Island boxing day sales. (Hallelujah- I found them in the trenches haha) The top is so sexy (and VERY me, if I say so myself and the pants are soooo comfy- not gym comfy though haha! I've had these ASOS heeled boots for years- unfortunately, hardly wear them. It was the heel that got me. It's gradient and finishes clear-LOVE them! Okay, I'll admit, I didn't wear my wide brimmed fedora and clutch to the party. But hey, they tops of the outfit, don't you think? I'm really happy with how these shots turned out, the backdrop looks amazing, really compliments my #allblackeverything 'fit. FYI, its the London eye!

Wide brim fedora hat- H&M.
Crop top-River Island.
Jogger pants- River Island.
Heel boots- ASOS.
Clutch- Car boot sale-£1.50.
Watch- Micheal Kors.
