How I'd Style: The Faux Fur Jacket.
I've been wanting a faux fur jacket for THE longest time!!! I love the Parisian chic it instantly brings to an outfit, meaning you could wear the most casual outfit and still feel like a million dollars :)!! Also it seems pretty darn warm too and I'm going to need it!! I feel like we're heading for a nasty winter :S
As I said a while back, I'll be doing some 'how I'd style' posts and this is the first of many. This is how I would personally style a faux fur jacket or rather what I'm going to wear with it once I purchase one ;P

Girls Date.
Thirty Seconds To Mars.
This as far as I'm concerned is one of the best songs in the world.
I am a maHUsive fan of Thirty Seconds to Mars, have been since I was like 14 but this is my ultimate favourite song by them.
The amount of emotion evoked from the lyrics, the tone, the melody...no matter how many times I listen to it, I always finish the song with goosebumps. Singing at the top of my lungs like I'm a teenager all over again :)

#WinterWishlist
I tell you I think England missed the memo that after Summer comes Autumn.
Sunrise is later, days are already darker early and it is damn right freezing.
So forget an Autumn wishlist, I'm making a Winter one :)
Although I hate the cold, Winter is the best season because 1) It's my birthday season (December baby!) 2) It's Christmas! and 3)....well Winter is just great okay! LOL!
These are just a few of the things I want at the moment :) some of them I'll get myself, some I'll ask for for my birthday and other ones I'll ask for as my Christmas present...see why Winter is such a great season ;D
1) New Look Black Woven Tapestry Backpack
2) H&M Boucle Jacket
3) MAC Cyber lipstick
4) Olympus Trip 35 Vintage Camera
5)River Island Gold Tone Triple Chevron Finger Top Ring
6) H&M Platform Ankle Boots
7) H&M Biker Style Coat
8) ASOS Satchel Bag
I am on a mission to find a black wooly oversized coat this Winter but everywhere I look online, no-one seems to have it!! Boo!!! Maybe that'll have to be an in-store shopping spree...

STYLIGHT
Imagine my reaction when I saw on Google+ that STYLIGHT liked my post, then getting a notification that they were then following me and then a couple days later, getting an email from STYLIGHT with the email message saying 'STYLIGHT hearts your blog ❤.' I did a little giddy walk/jump through the streets of London although I had to be careful as I didn't want people thinking I was crazy!
I have been in love with STYLIGHT for quite some time to be honest and I got to know even more about them through one of my favourite bloggers, Kenza. So to then have the opportunity to collaborate with them??? Can I get a hell yessss?!?!?
I thought a great way to start would be to introduce them for those who maybe haven't heard of them.
STYLIGHT is probably if not THE biggest online fashion community website that brings millions of people inspiration everyday through great looks and to also shop some of your favourite looks from some of their fashionable brand partners such as ASOS!
STYLIGHT was founded in Munich, Germany (can I get a woot, woot)! and operate in several other countries including Australia, Spain, Italy and the UK. They are also looking to add more countries as well which is fantastic meaning that millions more people will be able to share this experience!!!
I love how everything is accessible on STYLIGHT. One thing I hate when online shopping say for example, is having to go to multiple shopping sites just to find ONE thing.
It is such a pain.
On STYLIGHT however, I could just type the name of the one product that I want and it will come up with hundreds of results of that one product from different brands! How awesome is that?! It saves a lot of time and is so much less hassle! The following is the link so you can see just how many brands STYLIGHT are working with!!: http://www.stylight.co.uk/Brands/
I also love the trending looks page: http://www.stylight.co.uk/Looks/ and how you can connect with an international community and be in a place where you all are connected because of your love for fashion :D

I promise you, you won't regret it!

Sweet Sweet Fantasy.
Yesterday, one of my girls Siobhan turned 21 and she threw a fancy dress party!! It was such an amazing night, one of the best birthday parties I've gone to!! She looked flippin incredible as cat, I actually think I started drooling when I saw her!!!
Alton Towers Part 1.
Hey beauts!! Hope you're okay and having a fabo week so far :D
I'm sooo sorry it's late, but I have finally finished editing my holiday vlog to Alton Towers! You can see what we got up to, outfits of the days and more :D

James Blake.
Hi my loves!! I've finally sorted out the blogger problems and I am backkkkkkkk *dougies really badly*
I hope you haven't missed me too much ;P I was going to do another post but I thought instead to kick things back into action, why not start with what I did yesterday?
Here's a warning; since this is a sort of catch-up post/what-I-got-up-to-post, it's pretty long so you may wanna get a cuppa (tea) or biscuits ;)
My sissy Stephanie, our girl Tamara, and I went to a James Blake gig at Shepherd's Bush o2 Empire on Thursday in West London. Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm like madly in love with James Blake, so I was incredibly excited to go see him perform!
Before we went to watch him, we went for dinner at Wahaca in White City which is literally like next door to the o2 empire. It's a Mexican restaurant and the food was soooooOOOOooo delish!!!
One thing about me, there are times when I plan-plan-PLAN an outfit and there are times when I just put outfit ideas together before/during sleep. The latter works better in my favour and was how yesterday's outfit was put together. I don't feel like I'm trying so hard, I literally just put on whatever I think will go and leave. Tamara helped me take some pictures of the outfit :D
Technical Difficulties.
Hi Beauts!!!! Hope you're all well and have had an amazing few weeks!!
I'm so sorry, it must seem like I've disappeared off the face of the planet; in some ways true but not to the extent in which you may think!
I've missed blogging so much! I've been having problem after problem with my blog like it's unreal! I can't upload any pictures, some of the posts I've tried to publish aren't working it's incredibly frustrating as you can imagine!
I will hopefully be able to work this out very quickly and get back to blogging ASAP; got so many exciting things and blog posts to share with you.
I hope you can be patient with me!

This picture was taken when I was 18 :O :O Throwback much?!!
Hey beauts!! How've you been??! I've missed blogging so much this week! :( and I apologise a million times for not being able to blog, but this week has been crazy busy! I literally haven't had a chance to sit and blog which is unfortunate but hey! That's life!
I'm still suffering from Friday night; Jodie, her cousin Shana and myself went out to a club at St.Paul's which was interesting! Ha! We got in quite late, and then Jodie and I went back to her house and feasted on leftover enchiladas that Shana made...and can I just add, they were flipping amazing!!!
We konked out in the early hours of the morning like to four in the morning, and then woke up at to 11, so you can imagine we were still reeling! I don't know what happened but I woke up with a horrible pain in both my thighs which is kind of a nuisance seeing as I partly need them to walk -.- ha! Oh, well!
Went out yesterday night, and alas today was resting day. Although it's wasn't really because I've been packing for a mini holiday :) My family and I are going to Alton Towers this week which we are all buzzing for! Like literally! It's going to be such an amazing week. :) I must admit I am a bit nervous as the last theme park I went to was in Busch Gardens in Florida. My sister and I rode the Sheikra...*gulps* so I'm bracing myself this time, trying to be more prepared ;). I won't be blogging this week, but I'll be vlogging the trip, and taking outfit of the day pictures, so hopefully on the weekend I'll be able to post something, if I'm not still reeling from rollercoaster symptoms!

Welcome to the Party Life!
Cityblis.
I was so excited to get an email from Cityblis inviting me to join their network of bloggers that they collaborate with :)
They feature bloggers from all over the world, designers from all over the world all under one community. It then makes it easier for all of us to connect, keep up with fashion news, shop and just connect :) Cityblis also host fashion shows and events which would be pretty cool too!!

Wedding Bells.
Two weeks ago, my sister, some of my closest friends and I went to a wedding reception of one of our friends.
Seeing the bride in her bridal gown was a massive wake-up call for me. Marriage became more real in a sense. She looked absolutely stunning and the groom also looked very dapper :') Wishing them a blissful journey as they take this next step together <3 <3
I spent the night catching up with people I hadn't seen in a while and chatting with some of my closest and drinking so I didn't get a chance to take pictures, but one of my friends whatsapped me the pictures she took! Just so you guys have an idea of the outfit I wore and the night itself!
I bought my dress from www.boohoo.com and I love ittt sooooo much! I love how different the dress is. Even though it's 'feminine' and some may classify it as a modern dress as it's floral, to me it has this vintage essence which is one of the reasons I bought it :)

Graduation day.
So guys, like I said in my last post, last week Friday I graduated!!! It was such an amazing day, I can't even put into words. I'm so grateful to all of the people who have been supporting me during that three year journey. It definitely was a rollercoaster of emotions and I genuinely do not believe I would be the person I am today if weren't for them.
The day was a mad rush and sadly, I didn't get to take pics with some of my other friends who graduated :( But knowing that we have a friendship that will last a long time makes up for it :')
Celebrating the success of a journey, and readying ourselves for the next step infront of all my family and friends, it was truly an amazing moment, one I will never forget. To see all your hard work finally mean something...what a feeling. I took some pics of the outfits that Jodie and I wore to graduation :)

Review + Giveaway!!
Hey beauts!! Hope you're all well! I hope all my American friends had a fab 4th July!
Like I said in my last post, a lovely accessories company called cllrs accessories allowed me to choose some of their products to review and to host a giveaway so someone could pick one of these fabulous items! I straight away chose the geek glasses because I am obsessed with them! I have a few black pairs but loved this blue one and so decided to go for it.
I can't even tell you how much I love these glasses!! Now that it's officially summer in London (WOOOO!!), I have already planned so many outfits in which I can sport these awesome specs. Geek chic is one of my favourite styles. I love how you could wear it with a sophisticated outfit to add that bit of edge or with a casual outfit to add that bit of...well...geek! And who doesn't love a bit of geek?!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ring! I've worn it with every outfit I've sported in the last week and have had SO many compliments on it. I love the unique, weird and wonderful and this ring was just perfect for me. The cracked marble look with the funky gold pattern which sort of reminds me of a mirror frame just adds that edge which I have to have. This ring has definitely got a place in my statement ring collection.
I've always wanted a midi ring. I think they're fab!! I love that...once again...edge! Ha! That it brings, I think it's so cool and an accessory in which I'm trying to stock up so of course I jumped at the chance! This ring is so cute, I love the way it just tucks itself in the middle of my wedding finger just enjoying life! It's so comfortable and I will definitely be stocking up on more of these!
Now...for the giveaway ;)
So if you want the chance to win either the geek glasses, the stone and gold ring or the midi ring all you have to do is follow cllrs accessories on twitter at : @shopcllrs or follow the following link and follow them : https://twitter.com/shopcllrs and follow their instagram at shopcllrs. Unfortunately the giveaway is just in the UK!
Make sure you check out their website too, they have some great stuff: http://cllrs.co.uk/
Let me know when you've done it and I'll pick a winner! The giveaway closes on the 19th July!

Chequered Throwback (and a surprise)!!
Oh don't mind me, just a normally weird thing for me to do ;P I loved this outfit!
Corporate Life.
Work, Work, Work, Work.
Good day loves!!! Hope you're all well and having a great week :)
For a while now, I've been planning on doing a work section to my blog. I know a lot of people love inspiration and ideas for what to wear to work/interviews. I know because I was one of them and still am sometimes!! So this part of my blog will be for those who just want some ideas on possible outfits to wear. I'll be doing some for interviews, my sissy has kindly agreed to do some as these are outfits she actually wears to work and even my mum has agreed!
So stay tuned and I hope this helps you!

Fashion X Art Gallery Fair
Last night, I was invited to attend a fashion and Art event by Fashion Compassion. They're an ethical fashion boutique who intertwine fashion and the environment together! So the twinny and I met up straight after work and made our way to Notting Hill.
