Law Ball 2013!

Friends looking lovely. 

Being very serious at the chocolate fountain. It's a serious thing.

All up in my face! Haha.

Lovely ladies, we are picture perfect!

Dinner is served.

I didn't get my desert! 

Entertainment of the night, a belly dancer.

With these fine handsome men! 

This was epic! Much more than an ice sculpture haha!

With my family law lecturer (!!!) Such a lovely woman!

Winning big! Actually I won much bigger later on! 

Classmate looking dapper! (He was my bitch in the casino-he said it himself haha!

Getting down with the trumpets!

With my home girl from college days Ula!

Fun in the photo booth.

At the end of it all! We needed to sit!!

All change!

Don't know what is going on here! But the picture shows off the dress well! Haha!

Last Thursday I attended my university’s law society’s ball. The theme was Bond, James Bond. The event was actually called Skyball. Get it? Skyfall- Skyball! Haha. Anyways. It was such a lovely night. I had a great time with fellow students, and lecturers, all dressed up to the nines. 

As you can tell from the pictures, fun was had! I decided to finally attend this year’s law ball, after being invited the previous years, as I am now a final year student, it seemed logical to go.

My dress is from ASOS!! Which I love- I’m shopping there ALL THE TIME! I have to admit- it’s a sickness! (A good one, if there is such a thing) I was looking at a few, but this beaut just stood out to me. It was the lace-at the bottom. So different, I loved it. Went for black, classic I guess. But, the placing of the lace gave this dress a unique edge- and I’m so glad no one else was wearing it! Haha.

Those rocks you see in my ears, aren’t they lovely?! Yes, they are heavy, but I’ve gotten used to that, I’ve had them for years. I purchased these earrings when I was in Dubai at an Indian gold jewellery store. It was love at first sight and the perfect gift to myself to return home with.

Followed by the shindig was the after party at a nearby club. Many did not change, but as we were passing my house to get there, I could not miss that opportunity! I opted for this awesome dress I brought online from Forever 21 (I tell you, I miss the U.S. F21!). The ombre-ness of it is awesome! This is my first time wearing it since purchase, and it is very comfortable, easy to dance it. Especially as I paired it with my ASOS flatforms!

Do you have any special events coming up? If so, enjoy!

I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag!

I have had such a busy week, and it’s still not over! It’s been university and events galore! Wednesday was awesome! I became American again haha! I spent my day having lunch with a group of Americans here in the U.K. for spring break, and the evening with them line dancing!! That was an experience. Haha. I’ve posted photos of my ‘peppers’ inspired outfit and photos from the dance. It took place in a warehouse with was cool. It felt like we found an abandoned space and just went wild. We did a ‘harlem shake’ video! You should have seen my excitement! Since I've been seeing them- I’ve wanted to do one. We’re young, wild and free!! Seriously, I just met these wonderful, God-fearing people this week and feel like I have known them for a while. Thank God we met- and thank God for facebook haha!! Safe journey home dudes and much love!!

Regarding my outfit, I think I literally just threw it together. Have you got pants in your wardrobe that you couldn’t wear because you gained weight (because you spent a year in the States eating at every restaurant that caught your eye!!!!!!) and then lost weight and they fitted again??! Well these red pants are it for me! I was so happy when they went up- it proved that my hard work and determination in the gym is showing results! If you are not happy about something-change it!

Below are the pictures of the ‘hoe down’!! It was so much fun learning traditional South Carolina line dancing and just simply spending my night with Americans who are here to experience the British culture.  In turn, I got to experience the American culture all over again.

F.Y.I. This guy knows how to TWERK!! He taught me!! Haha.

My awesome American friends! I miss you guys!! Y'all are awesome! 

Flashback Friday!!

I was given the fantastic opportunity to study in China at East China Normal University for  summer school last year. I had the most amazing, remember able time out there, exploring Beijing, Shanghai and other incredible towns. Experiencing such a vivid culture first hand was just awesome- from the food to the people, I loved every minute of it! (even if I fell asleep in Chinese Politics occasionally, I still appreciated every moment haha). And as you can tell from this picture, I loved the rain too!! The rain in China is different to what I am used to with British rain- I can wear flip flops in it! It’s a rain where it is still warm and not too unpleasant. But don’t get me wrong, when it rains, it pours!

This photo was taken after a really long day of visiting Confucius temple and spending the afternoon with our assigned Chinese families. My mate and I wanted to walk through the buzzing streets despite the rain, and we were a little peckish- so we got ice creams! It was delicious, even with the added flavor!

Have you been to China? How was it for you?

When your clothes tell a Story...

Another cold day in the U.K. Though actually, the sun reared its little head now and then-just stay please! I don’t know about you but I am looking forward to summer! Today I went for my go to coat, think, warm and loveable! Haha. I decided to pair it with my t-shirt dress I brought from London Fashion Weekend three years ago (! Time, where did you go?!) It is from ‘Buddhist Punk’ and it came with matching pants too!! I love the design and when I first got it, I wore it all the time! Still love it! I get thrills of the multiple ways I can wear it, here’s just one- stay tuned! :D Today, I teamed it with my limited edition H&M leggings. I love the story they tell. Such a detailed pattern on leggings- they are comfy and different from your average black run-of- the- mill leggings! As for the lion round my neck, I picked him up in China. After bargaining a lot (they thinking I'm made of money) I managed to cop it for roughly £6 (60 yuan), which I reckon was a great deal, comparing prices of Topshop and such! I love head accessories! who doesn't?! Haven't worn my hat in a while, and thought it would be practical today to keep my head warm and hair in check- well it did it's job, somewhat! Haha

Here is the information on what I got, where:

• Coat-River Island
• Bowlers hat- Portobello Rd 
• T-shirt dress- Buddist Punk @ London Fashion Weekend
• Leggings-H&M
• Sneaker wedges- Mr.shoes.com

Hope you all had a good day! Two days until the Law Ball! Ooooooo excited!!

Me Against The Elements

Today was horrid! Weather wise . I ask, why is snowing when we are meant to be in ‘spring’?? Mother Nature sort yourself out love! Haha. As you can tell from the pictures I was literally having a fight with the elements, and bless my friend for taking the pictures, we were freezing our butts off. Trust me, hundreds of layers could not help you in this weather!

As always stated, I like to rock comfy outfits to university as I am just going from one place to the next. Today I kept it real casual (with slight edge-the jacket) with high waist jeans and trainers. Uber-comfy and warm (I layered my jeans!). I love this tee of mine!! I have actually lost weight recently (hence the jeans looking a little baggy – I don’t care, love this pair!) and now this tee is a t-shirt dress! Yes! Two in one! The whole shirt says ‘eight grade was awesome’. Saw it for $10 in a thrift store in Sacramento, California and wanted to cop it right away. That wasn't to be L There was a waiting list for it. The person had to collect it before a certain day, if not, it would be mine. And obviously you know how the story ends, they didn’t come back for it, so hey ho, it became my go-to piece whilst in the States. I actually haven’t worn it in a good few months, and wearing it made me reminisce about all the good times. Plus! I met a bunch of Awesome Americans today here for their spring break so that got me talking too! Haha.

Here is the information on what I got, where:

• Jeans-Primark
• Trainers-Foot Locker
• T-shirt-thrift store in Sacramento
• Faux Fur Jacket- River Island (has been in my wardrobe for over 4 years!)

Hope you had a good day! And if you’re in this weather- doesn’t it suck?! I say think ‘beach’.
