meet me in santorini-the h&m dress

 

 Dress £14.99 H&M | Sandals £16 Primark | Necklace £6 Rare London | Gold Cuff £3 Primark | Sunglasses 5 euros Barcelona

I decided to wear this dress for the first time in Santorini as it is such a summery dress! The tribal inspired print is gorgeous, and I love the asymetric cut of the hem.
The sandals were a big hit with the locals as they are quite 'Grecian' lol  I'm hoping the weather will improve in the UK so I can wear this outfit again soon!
On that day, we went to see the sunset in Oia, which was remarkable! so many people make the trip to see it in person....and now I know why :-D

On rare occasions I do wear my hair out without my headscarf-but I am trying to grow out an afro, so I prefer to keep it in protective styles in my headscarf as the weather in the UK is notoriously unpredictable :-(   and for some reason, I feel like I look younger when I don't wear my headsarf-what do you think?? lol

I have a couple of pics left to share with you from Santorini but I just wanted to show you this dress for now as I love it so much!-and it is such great value!

I have also just got back from Sardinia (which was amazing!)....so look out for posts from my time there too ;-)

Floral Jumpsuit £17 Primark | Strappy flats £10 Primark | Cardigan £7 H&M | Sunglasses £6.99 H&M | Gold cuff £3 Primark

Hey guys!
I mentioned previously that I went to Santorini in Greece a month ago for my birthday, words really can't describe the beauty of this island! It literally looks like paradise on earth!

I will write more in detail in another post but for now I thought I showed you a couple of outfits I wore during my time there, starting with this jumpsuit from Primark-which is everything! It's  so vibrant, lightweight....and flattering!...plus it has pockets (something I can't live without!)
The Jumpsuit, along with the shoes were soooo comfy-and made a winning combination for me! I went easy on the jewellery with just a cuff and a simple necklace-as the jumpsuit on its own was so striking.
The flower print is gorgeous and bold, as soon as I saw it on the racks, I knew I couldn't leave without it ;-)

I can't wait for the weather to warm up and stabilize so I can wear it here in the UK! 

In other news, I have just made my first purchase on Sheinside and I can't wait for them to arrive!

Chanel-ising a blazer

Hey guys! so a couple of years ago I found a pair of vintage chanel earrings on eBay which I loved! they were the perfect size for me, not too big or small-so I snapped them up (naturally). I had them shipped over from Japan and Immediately started wearing them. They were clip-ons....and not that secure....and you guessed it

By the time I got home, one of my ears felt suspiciously light, my Chanel earring was gone forever! :-(

SO now I had this one earring, without its mate, and I just threw it somewhere in my room because it was useless on its own. I had toyed with the idea of selling it on ebay as a single earring (trust me someone would definitely buy it!)

And then I thought "maybe I could do something with it?!" and suddenly remembered the Stripe jacket I bought from Bershka for my birthday....and my creative juices started flowing!....well, maybe thats an overexaggeration....I just sewed the earring to the left lapel of my blazer ;-p 

Beforehand, I took off the back part of the clip on (showed in the top picture) and sewed inbetween two perfecty sized holes on the back to secure it to the lapel. I was going to use a safety pin to attach it, But after what happened with the other earring I wanted to make it more secure.

I think this is a great way to add a bit of class to a casual outfit, and makes a statement in a less obvious way.

Whats great about this is that you can update your jacket, or any other item-and still remove it and use it on another item of clothing if you get bored!

I also have some gold buttons I bought a few years ago but haven't used yet, so I would like to replace the buttons on this jacket with them :-)

Funilly enough I have another random Chanel earring lying around....and I think I know what I'm going to do with it ;-)

I just need to find the damn thing first!.......

P.S. Stay tuned for an outfit post featuring this blazer, coming soon.....x

Yellow blouse- From day to date...

 

Jacket £17 Topshop (found on eBay) | Blouse £17.99 Zara | Jeans £13 Primark | Tote £130 Michael Kors | Studded clutch £17.49 Forever 21 | Shoes £14.40 Dorothy Perkins | Necklace £5 Forever 21 | Sunglasses £5.99 New Look | Earrings £2.50 Forever 21 | Belt £285 Hermes

Hey guys! This is another look I shot with my photographer for the first time. Very nerve-wracking, and for some reason I find it hard to smile on request! Which is odd when you compare it to my holiday pictures lol.
I found the shoes in Dorothy Perkins near Bond Street station, and they were discounted because the store was closing down (yay for me!) These shoes really POP and what makes them even better....they are unbelievably comfortable! I also had to get this amazing clutch because of the amazing detail-the perfect combination of studs and coloured stones! Im not really a clutch carrier because im quite lazy when it comes to carrying bags. But what I like about this one is the flap, as I can use a chain from another bag to make it more....carrier-friendly. :-D

The blouse I LOVE because it's such a striking colour, and it is also a really versatile piece. As the title suggests, it is typically something I would wear throughout the day, for lunch, shopping etc. and it would also be great for a first-date night :-)

What do you typically wear on a first date? xx
