RIVER ISLAND DAISY ANKLET
NEW LOOK WHITE GLADIATOR SANDALS
ASOS QUILTED SHOULDER BAG

I finally have completed my first ever blog shoot! Me and my cousin Amy met up yesterday and drove to this derelict military base with a suitcase full of clothes and just went for it. At the beginning my facial expressions were less than model-like, but it's definitely a 'practice makes perfect' kinda deal as I got more and more confident throughout the day. I have a slight obsession with all things daisy print, so this A-line skirt from Missguided was a no brainer, plus it was only £9.99! I paired it with my trusty ribbed crop top from Topshop which I own in a million other colours and my new Topshop biker jacket. This style of gladiator sandals have done their rounds around pretty much every high street brand, but I bought mine from New Look. They are so comfortable and a much better option to their plastic sister 'the jelly shoe'. And how cute is this little daisy anklet from River Island? I think my first proper blog fashion shoot went pretty swell thanks to my amazingly talented cousin Amy and I cannot wait to do more in the future!

Lotsa Love.

DIY // Collage Room Decoration

Hi lovelies! I am finally back for good. Uni is over and I now have a whole lotta free time to deal with. My bedroom walls were looking a bit bare, and I wanted a cheap way to add some decoration to them (plus I'm a magazine hoarder and it was a good way of putting them to use). I thought I'd share how I did this because I loved the outcome and it cost me no more than £4!

Polyvore // Outfit Inspiration #1

I am addicted to polyvore. I think that since I've had the app on my phone it's made me really consider pursuing styling as a career because I love putting outfits together and can always envisage what could go with what. So I thought I'd start posting some of the outfits that I put together as little in-between posts. I actually put together this outfit a while ago, and had bought all the pieces minus the Topshop felt tip crop top. But last night after a bidding war on eBay I managed to get my hands on it for a mere £5.50 rather than the £36 retail price - so I'll probably be doing an outfit of the day showing these pieces at some point soon. Let me know if these posts are good fashion inspiration, or just a bit naff because it would be good to know.

Lotsa Love.

Makeup // L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection Privée

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection Privée in Julianne - £8.19 - Boots

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection Privée in Eva - £8.19 - Boots

The one area of the beauty world I am still hesitant to dip my toes into is nude lipsticks. I am half Jamaican so every experience I have had as of yet with nude lipsticks have made me look 50 shades of dead. On a recent browse round my beloved Boots, I came across the new L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection Privée, whereby 6 of the iconic L’Oreal spokeswomen have created a tailor made nude lipstick (Doutzen Kroes, Eva Longoria, Cheryl Cole, Julianne Moore, Freida Pinto and Liya Kebede). I decided to pick the shades Eva and Julianne:

OOTN // Back 2 You

Missguided Textured Midi Dress - Size 8 - £19.99

Topshop Leather Court Heels - £60

This was an outfit I wore last weekend for my boyfriend's cousin's engagement party. This dress is amazing but so figure hugging. I made the mistake of not eating before hand so that I didn't bloat, and then drunk alcohol and lets just say the night ended very very badly lol. I paired it with my white Zara blazer, another lesson learnt to never wear white when there's a chance I might have one too many drinks. I can't wait to be able to wear this dress again because I loved it so much. I called this OOTN 'Back 2 You' purely because it's my favourite song at the moment. I've left it below so you can give it a listen..

Lotsa Love.
