I don’t have a
huge number of mini's but this floral mini skirt is a keeper. I bought it in
the ASOS sale with little expectations and I love it. The ruffle design and high- rise waist gives me a flattering fit and I don’t feel as self-conscious wearing it. The bright
floral print is perfect for summer and versatile to wear with denim, leather or
other bold prints. Guaranteed I'll be living in this over the next few weeks, especially in this heat! What's not to love about the ultimate floral mini skirt in Summer.
I know. I’m
pulling out the stops for yet again for another premium photoshoot which I of course
had to share with you guys! Jokes aside, this is a quick post to promote being confident in your own skin. As you know, I shaved off my
hair last year because I was tired of letting it control me. Years of misuse
and bad treatment totally ruined it. Though it has grown
back over the last few months, it's not how my hair used to be. It's weak, uneven, patchy and
frankly, in a terrible state. Because of this, I've decided keep it shaved off, mixing it up my selection of wigs (mood, outfit or weather depending). I wear my
hair both ways but it has taken me a while to be comfortable with this look. Finally,
I am.I’ve accepted my natural hair in
its natural state and even though I love to wear wigs, I’ve equally embraced my true self which I believe, is what you can see in these photos. It’s been a process but
I am finally at a place where all versions of me is just fine. Additionally, having
a shaved head comes in very handy in the summer when you feel light, sweat free
and the sun hits you right in the back of your neck. ....Lush
When I sketched a bunch of African inspired designs a while back, I never dreamed I would get them made, let alone reap
the rewards of wearing them all! I love that they are one off creations
made to measure, and a perfect representation of my personal style. My favourite pieces (that seem to be getting worn over and over again) are my skater skirt, peplum top and maxi dress. Every time I wear them, I get an abundance of comments, compliments and queries asking where I bought them. I must admit...it’s pretty awesome knowing that no one can buy them anywhere and that they my very own limited edition, but I would love to create a clothing line inspired by West
African prints and modern-day fashion. Would you buy it?
Summer clothes tend
to last me years (thanks to our short Summers) but I do like to
top up my wardrobe when I come across something I like. This gorgeous pleated
maxi dress from ASOS (now sold out) is a great beach dress as it can transition from the beach to the bar.
Featuring a lace trim and V-neckline, the marble printed fabric also has a flattering elasticated waistband and cut-out detail. I love the pleated
skirt and the way the adjustable cami
straps fall, making it super comfortable. I wore this on my recent trip to Mallorca and it was the ideal dress for the day trip to Palma. This will be coming out for many summers to come....
Hello. Thanks for visiting my blog. I started it in 2011 because I love all aspects of fashion which I like to interpret it in my own way to suit my style and body shape. Might be a bit of shopaholic though I've got better over the years, always picking up one thing or another to throw a cute outfit together. As people kept commenting on my clothes and kept asking , 'where did you buy that?', it seemed like the perfect blog title. I'm a cross between an investment buyer and a bargain hunter, mixing the two, with a passion for tailor made African print designs .In the last decade, the blog has expanded out into other interests including travel, beauty and general lifestyle. Welcome! Please do comment or get in touch if you have any questions
