Mustard Blazer.

FASHION, OUTFITS
June 2 2012

This lovely blazer has been sitting in my wardrobe for a while, and it was only after the sun came out last week that it became my best friend. I’ve worn it a lot in the past week! In love with the cut and colour and I love how versatile it is! Today I paired it with a semi casual look for dinner and movie with friends!

A Few New Things!

SHOPPING
June 1 2012

Hello! It’s so nice to finally be blogging again! It feels like ages since my last post, and although I’m not officially done with my exams (Last one is next Friday!) I just couldn’t stay away! Here are a few new purchases of mine! Eau de Toilette | Miss Dior, 50ml (£51.00) I was on the hunt for a new scent for summer and was suggested by a few of you on Twitter to try Miss Dior, and my oh my, it is such a lovely scent. Very sweet with some floral tones, a lovely pick for this summer! Peplum… Read More »

I remember the very first day I locked eyes on these orange beauties. I was casually window shopping after an exam when I came across them in the window display. I smiled to myself at the thought of them belonging to me, and I just had to go in and ask to try them on. They have everything I look for in a fun pair..bright and still very practical (I mean no-one can go wrong with a wedge!). I thought it served as the right pop of colour to this white on white pairing with acid wash jeans! Shoes :… Read More »

Oh this tee just screams “Cool”! I love the American Flag and I’ve become a little obsessed with it, especially on clothing items so when I spotted this tee in Republic, and for £14, it had to be mine! A chilled outfit for a day spent with friends! Helen my lovely friend took these photos, and she is so modest when I tell her that her photography composition skills are amazing! Haha! Bless her!

Hello Nelly UK!

PHOTO DIARY
April 7 2012

Do you know what? I absolutely love to relax in my bed on a cool and calm evening like this, writing a post with the hazy sound of soul music in the background. I’m scratching my head wondering why I haven’t been doing it a lot lately! Here’s the deal, I think I’ve been caught up in other social mediums that I’ve forgotten how beautifully therapeutic it is to just write a blog post…sort it out Shirls! Anyway here’s what I got up to on Thursday evening! I was invited down to the marvellous W Hotel in Soho by nelly.com’s… Read More »

Springspiration

INSPIRATION
March 28 2012

One of things that has kept me sane these past few weeks, is knowing that Spring is just round the corner. I know we are all tired of layering up and heading out in the cold and we just can’t wait to ease up and relax with our wardrobe choices. I know I am! Haha! I’ve compiled a few of the trends I’m excited about and will be incorporating into my personal style this spring. I do hope you find some springspiration through it! 🙂 ~ The New Girlie ~ Think pretty pastels, lovely lace and girly glamour. If this… Read More »

Jaune

FASHION, OUTFITS
March 26 2012

It was a beautiful spring day in London. I woke up to the sun shining through my window and reflecting off the divine shade of yellow of my bedroom walls. Nowhere on earth can quite compare to this place, where I call home. I felt a smile across my face as I realised the day had finally come, were my dear friends Pat & Mike were to wed. Inspired by the sunshine, my walls and welcoming of spring, I put on my yellow dress, softly complemented it with nude heels and earrings, and I was ready for the big day.… Read More »
