Instagram Mania! Just a few snaps here and there of the little goings on in my life, my love for beauty & style and ofcourse food! Hehe! I was also featured on Huffington Post as a Favourite Fashion & Beauty Insider on Instagram! I was so excited when I found out from a lovely reader! If you haven’t already, follow me @ShirleyBEniang! 🙂
“Shirley loves her whites and neutrals!” I can’t exactly pin-point where my obsession with this colour palette stemmed from, but for as long as I can remember I’ve always loved it. The sheer clean and fresh nature of it is what keeps me coming back to it. I love how chic a garment in the white or neutral colour family looks on. These are my favourite pieces, and they will be making regular appearances on the blog!
Oh yes. I’ve caught it. And before I knew it, I had accumulated quite a few neon pieces, this pair of heels being one of them. It’s vibrant, it’s extrovert but I believe one of the ways to rock Neon without looking over the top, is to have it as an accent. I wished for dry weather as I donned these, and I was given it… for a couple of hours! Ha! Neon Heels : H&M Leggings : Zara Top : Primark Jacket : H&M Clutch : New Look (Mum’s!)

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!

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!
