A date with the books...




I'm still here!! Haha. I know, I know it's been a while. It's just that time of the year and exams take over everything! I actually just had my first exam yesterday! Family law- so happy to have one out the way- 3 more to go!!

These pictures were taken while having a break from revision in my new home- the library. I went for comfort of course. And black. Simple. Oh, with a bit of white too, to break it up I guess. Oh and I wear glasses. I say I rock the geek chic look. Don't know what I'll do without them, very dependent on them! I got this sexy number when I was in the States from a site recommended by a friend that do awesome deals- I'm talking first pair free kind of deals! Unnoticeable perhaps are the variations of textures I'm wearing. Usually, I would prefer to do that with color and prints, but hey, I just had a date with my books that day so I just threw on what was in my eyesight and prayed it worked!
Anyways, hope revision is still going strong peeps. I know so many people who are actually done for the year already! Lucky buggers! Good luck!
Until next time!

Another day, another stint in the library. Just took a moment between lecture and library to take these few snaps. The top and leggings are new! :D From F21. Love them-so comfy. I have not seen these leggings anywhere, so knew I had to get them. I LOVE FOREVER 21! Once again, rocking my sneaker wedges with the ‘fit, comfy as heck! Opted for my massive purple heavy duty 'Sac State bag- great for all the book I have to chug around, and my fav colour! 

Anyways, back to revision now- these exams are creeping up. Good luck out there to everyone in the same boat.

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

Keep Calm and Just Revise.


I am just in my commercial law lecture waiting for it to start. Got an email from my university stating this. So, if it relates to you too- do it too! Haha. Its a good message. Its a tough time, but YOU CAN DO IT! YOU WILL DO IT!
Good luck to everyone out there taking exams in whatever they may be. They may be a bitch- but, make them your bitch! Basically, OWN THEM!!

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!
