New Things

SHOPPING
January 3 2013

I’m slowly building my fragrance collection and it seems like I’ve formed a pattern when it comes to buying them. I buy one at the beginning of the year and wear it all year round, love it then move on to a new one the following year. Last year was Miss Cherie (Dior), the year before was Coco Mademoiselle (Chanel), and this year it’s Chance (Chanel), a sensual scent with subtle flowery notes. I’m in love with it. I thought I’d also share my most recent purchases. I haven’t really gone all crazy in the sales this time around, but… Read More »

Bye 2012.

FASHION, OUTFITS
December 31 2012

Looking back at outfit photos from the past year with a giddy feeling in my stomach! I can say that I really discovered my style this year, what I like and what I feel good in! That’s just one of the amazing perks of blogging, another is meeting new friends along the way. I just want to thank you all for following, commenting and keeping up with my posts! Here’s to a great year of blogging! I’m looking forward to what 2013 has in store! Happy New Year Everyone!  Lots of Love, Shirley 

Outfit Ideas for the Holiday Season!

FASHION, OUTFITS
December 22 2012

I put together a LookBook for the holidays, and this dress featured in it! I thought it would be perfect for a Christmas Party or New Year’s Eve Party! It’s probably one of my favourite purchases of the season, and what I love most about it is that it can be styled numerous ways, formally or casually! Kudos Topshop!  Thought I’d pop it up on the blog with the other outfits I put together!  Be sure to check out the LookBook (below)! 🙂 Dress: Topshop Shoes: Forever 21 Bag: H&M Bracelets: H&M ~~~ Love this jacket I got from Forever 21 a few weeks… Read More »

Capturing moments.

December 18 2012

We’re half way through December and the time is fast approaching, if not already here, to reflect on the past year. A lot has changed since the beginning of the year, but I’m so grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and learnt from. I’m looking forward to what the next year will bring.  My Instagram Challenge has been going well, although I must admit, it has been a real challenge: remembering to snap away in between meetings and my busy schedule, and also making sure I’ve got the right shot! Haha! But that’s what it’s all about isn’t it?… Read More »

Faux Fur Shrug : H&M | Purse (Wallet) : Zara | My iPhone | EDT : Miss Dior Mum has made our home so lovely and festive. She has also been babying me a little because I’ve had a bout with the cold for a few days and have had difficulty sleeping thanks to my annoying cough. I did try the honey and lemon home remedy and that’s made me feel much better!I’m hoping to post and film a few videos this weekend, most probably my current favourites and a winter haul!  I also wanted to let you know that… Read More »

The Jersey Tee

FASHION, OUTFITS
November 27 2012

It’s been a chill day of work doing and music listening, but I’m off in a little bit to dinner (probably Nando’s) with my friends! I wanted to wear something comfy but still chic, so I opted for this easy jersey tee I got from Topshop (a couple of sizes bigger!) and paired it with some leggings and my go-to accessories! The necklace is a new buy, love the whole mixed metal vibe of it! The days are disappearing, and it’s getting darker earlier. We’ll soon be in the middle of winter.  I’m in need of a new winter coat and a… Read More »

November 23 2012

I’m a free spirit when it comes to blogging and youtubing. I post when I can and have the time to, and enjoy it more this way. I’d hate for it to become a chore, because I guarantee you that you wouldn’t enjoy my posts as much! Lol! I guess I’m just trying to remind the select few that always put a bit of pressure on me to post all the time, to take it easy.  I’m thankful however for the rest of you who are understanding and stay supportive.  You mean a lot to me! 🙂 My GEEK jumper… Read More »

Angelica Blick for Nelly Trend Knight Heels :: Zara Ankle Boots :: H&M Boots Just have a look at these beauties! All ready and set for me to don as Autumn comes around. I’m very excited to be pairing them with pieces in my new Autumn wardrobe! I love Autumn because I feel I can be even more experimental with my style, by adding layers, new textures and the like, so very different from the stripped back summer style of dressing! Are you excited for Autumn? I know I am! 🙂 Oh and London Fashion Week is just a couple of days… Read More »
