Fatima Siad for Arise.

INSPIRATION
August 11 2011

I was doing my daily perusing of the web when I came across these stunning photos of Fatima Siad (ANTM Contestant some time back) for Arise Magazine. Her inspiring story and humble demeanor made me fall in love with her on the show, she is so beautiful. From the beauty story (By Itaysha Jordan) of flowers, to the high gloss styling… these photos are just breathtaking.  xo [Source : Fashion Gone Rouge.]

Summer Afternoon, Photo diary.

Life, PHOTO DIARY
August 1 2011

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 »

Nice, Mavala. ( + Half Moon Nails Tutorial)

BEAUTY
July 25 2011

I was doing my routine nail polish change and thought to do something a little different. I had seen a few photos of Rihanna and some others sporting this Half Moon Nail Look, and I wanted to try it. It’s my first time, so it’s not as perfect, but I still like it. I filmed a tutorial of how to do it, just in case you wanted to give it a go! 🙂 This polish is a lovely orangey/red from Mavala. I love the texture, and applying it was simple and fuss free! At only £2.99 a bottle, I’d say… Read More »

70’s Shift Dress + Leopard Print Wedges.

FASHION, OUTFITS
July 9 2011

I’ve got Strawberry legs, as Raven Symone calls it. Haha! I used to be so conscious about them, the scars, birth marks and the goddam knees! But I came to love them! They are a Perfect Imperfection. 🙂 Here’s a dress I purchased recently from Topshop! It reminds me of those shift dresses the girls used to wear in the 70s! I paired it with these killer leopard print wedges and one of my mum’s old clutches! You like?

From Me to You.

Ooo I’m one happy bunny this morning!! I woke up to some great news! I’m going to ride this happy feeling for as long as I can! 😀 Here’s what I wore yesterday! This top is so me – I love polka dots! I paired it with this midi skirt I got from Mango in their sale recently. I was off to town to run a few errands and the like, and I knew I would be paying a visit to the Cinema, so kept the outfit simple and practical, but styled it up a bit with a gold watch, red… Read More »

New Vintage Gems.

SHOPPING
June 29 2011

Why does it feel like yonks since I last blogged? I think it’s because I’ve been so incredibly busy, and have not had time to even check my tweets or e-mails, let alone hit the “New Post” button! How are we all?? Very well I hope, the weather’s been good, so no complaining there! It’s nice though, to finally have some time to relax, and talk to you all! 🙂 Here are two vintage gems I’ve picked up, the clutch (£10) from the local charity shop, and scarf (£5) from a market stall on my brief visit to Brick Lane… Read More »
