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 »
London at night is beautiful. I find myself on occasion, taking long strolls through the city as if I were visiting for the first time, getting lost in all the wonderful scenery and architecture. Lots to photograph for sure! I was born here, and I’ve known London all my life, but I feel like there are still places to be discovered, people to see, and great experiences to have… I got this yellow dress from Topshop last week, so flowy, so silky, so lovely! I adore it. Really loving the pops of colour at the moment. Getting quite tired of… Read More »
A beautiful summer’s afternoon, with a cloudless sky and the sun shining as bright as ever, spent with amazing people.. My sister Kezia, my friend Titi and I spent the afternoon at Hyde Park yesterday, just soaking up the sun and having a jolly good time. Titi brought along her awesome home made cocktail and we enjoyed it with snacks, while jamming to Kezia’s impressive music playlist. Each song brought with it memories and we talked for ages about them. It was lovely. Hope you had a good weekend too! xo What I’m Wearing Top : H&M Skirt : Topshop… Read More »
After events in New York, Milan, and Paris, Furla celebrated the success of the iconic Candy Bag in London, where I and a few others attended. Furla held the party at their flagship store on Regent’s Street, and it was hosted by Susie (of Stylebubble) and Kit (of StyleSlicker). The evening was filled with colour, cocktails and stylish outfits, and we moved to the banging beats of Super DJ Bip Ling’s decks. There were a lot of Candy Bags on show, orange ones, yellow ones, green ones, blue ones, a lot! I had my eye on one through out the… Read More »
Yesterday Hannah and I met up in town to grab some starbucks and do a little bit of shopping. She’s also a blogger, and she studies here in Notts too. We had been talking for ages about meeting up, and we finally did! She’s such a sweetheart! We visited Wilder, a lovely Vintage Store (where most of these photos were taken), and there were so many nice things! I really had to keep myself from spending! Lol! I tried. I really tried. Until I got to H&M. I just couldn’t let these amazing pieces go un-purchased (last three photos)… Pink Body… Read More »
The International Make-up Artists Trade Show (IMATS) is an event put on in six different cities around the world, London being one of them, where make-up brands (MAC, Sleek, Illmasqua and Make-up forever were among the few) come together to exhibit their products. I attended it on Saturday, along with a few other youtubers and bloggers. Here’s my video diary of the event, I show footage from the day, then chat a bit about my thoughts of the event, and ofcourse a Haul! 🙂 ..xo My Outfit… Fluffy Jumper : Primark Leggings : Topshop Brogues : New Look Bag &… Read More »
Last night I attended the launch of “Brush With Fashion” – a limited edition make-up collaboration with the London College of Fashion and The Body Shop. It is a collection of sustainable and cruelty-free make-up, with built-in brushes for the Spring 2011 season. It was lovely to see models of all ages and sizes take to the catwalk wearing sustainable designs for Spring Summer 2011, created by alumni of LCF and emerging names of the fashion world, William Tempest and Jena Theo. The models also showcased four looks created by LCF graduate Nikki Palmer, using the Brush With Fashion palettes. After the… Read More »
