#nyfw #streetstyle


In the run up to London Fashion Week/Plus Size Fashion Weekend/London Fashion Weekend-which I am well EXCITED about, I've decided to do a quick post about the street styles I'm loving at #nyfw/#mbfw Spring 2014.
These looks are dope right?!
Enjoy!

I'm loving bits and bots from all of these photos and there is no doubt that these beauties styled their outfits superbly! 
As you can probably tell from the majority of the pictures-I'm a lover of the over-sized coat. It's is perfect for this brutal weather we are having, and whether you go minimal or extravagant under it, it works either way. I mean, at the end of the day, it's all about confidence! I recentently copped a red (and very heavy) one from a vintage fair for 3 quid! Happy days!
Additionally, you probably can't tell what my general style is from these pictures- that's because I don't have a general style. As I've said loads of times-if I like it, I'll wear it! Simples!

*Disclaimer* I took these pictures from all over the glorious world wide web! They are none of my own.

Until next time,

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!!


Blazer and pants- made in Rwanda.
Sheer top-Topshop.
Watch-Michael Kors.
Clutch- Car boot sale.
Shoes-Office.

If you go to Africa, make sure you do not leave without getting at least one outfit made!

Until next time,

Mosaic top.


I recently went out for lunch with a friend to Wagamama. I know the whole world and her son has been there, but nevertheless, it's always a great (when you're stuck for other options) place to go. We went to the Holborn branch, which I have never been too. It had the air of a high school cafeteria- just a lot less busier (people must have been at work).
The post is really just for this AWESOME top (so ignore the rest of the outfit) I copped whilst in Rwanda from a street vendor- those Rwandans love vintage shopping too!! As soon as I saw it, I knew I couldn't leave without it in my bag. I love the colours and the mosaic print- it is very me. (Was so glad that it fitted too-you never know with street vendors!) The lady was selling it for 3000Rwf (£3), but after just purchasing a Kaftan that is worthy of going for at least £30 in Monsoon, for £1.50, I knew I had to haggle on it- what! I can't help it! Haha! This woman was determined- she knew it was an eye-catcher and of good quality- so I only got 50p knocked off and brought this masterpiece for 2,500Rwf (£2.50)-which is ah-maze-ing!! I'm in love with a top. That is all. 






Top (vintage)- Rwandan street vendor- £2.50!!
Jeans-High waist skinny, Gap.
Boots-Primark.
Earrings- H&M.

Hope you all had a blessed Sunday. I sure did, I went to Hillsong Church and it was wonderful!
Until next time,

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.

Until next time,
