My poor scalp has been suffering from the dastardly freezing temperature that has decided to bless us recently. So I wanted to wear my bowler hat to protect my head!!
I was tricked (even though I should've known better)! Before I left my house, the sun was blaring through my window curtains. So I decided based on the presence of the sun, to wear my chequed shirt underneath my heavy winter jacket. Thank God it wasn't THAT cold but let's just say I won't be doing that again in a hurry ;)
I sometimes really despise winter because for me I find it hard trying to balance my outfit out. I don't want to avoid wearing certain types of clothes because of the weather, but sometimes outfits look nice but they clash with my jacket. So it just makes things so much harder!! Know what I mean??!
My bowler hat didn't let me down ;) my head was snug and warm for most of the day :) going on the underground trains, when its mostly hot down there sometimes didn't help, but I'm not a moaner!!
Once I was in the snug and warm wall of my university campus, I switched my winter jacket for a thick cardi. This cardigan is sooo thick. it could sweat the flu out of someone!! Those cold winds won't even look in your direction!!
Here's a little look at what my chequed shirt looks like:
I now leave you with one of my all time fave songs by one of my fave artists Nero!!!

On Wednesday, I went to lunch with one of my favourite girls in the entire world for a major catch-up sesh at our favourite spot...TGI Friday's in Leicester sq!! The weather has turned evilly cold here in London city so I wanted to wrap up warm but I wanted to wear a skirt. So I teamed my big chunky knit jumper with my maxi dress & my leather jacket with THICK layering underneath to defeat the chills!! Sorry for the quality of the pic!! My phone was being a cow, so my lovely sister took the pic for me, then we had trouble trying to bluetooth the picture so then I had to download whatsapp blah blah blah blah blah... :
Have a great weekend!!

The sixties is making a comeback once again in the fashion
world but not through colour block dresses or mod-inspired make-up. No, the
sixties are returning through fashion gates in the form of sunglasses!!
Spring 2013 can see the accessory in its true sixties form; the
famous vintage cat-shaped ones, oversized white rounded frames, aviators, ray
bans, and the world's favourite 'Lennon'
sunglasses inspired by John Lennon. A bit of fashion history for you;
sunglasses became popular during the 60's because of the love of the staple
piece by the Modernists also known as 'The Mods'. The sunglasses were inspired
by the Blues and R'n'B singers of the sixties for e.g. Sonny Boy Williamson.
Designer Tom Ford, whose sunglasses are being worn by
celebrities all over the world, debuted his Spring 2013 collection in which the
sixties trend has been included. Different cat-inspired frames which would suit
anyone looking to re-create the Mod scene!! Other designers such as Marc Jacobs
Fashion deities such as Anna Dello has been seen in the 60's inspired
sunglasses as well as Rihanna, Solange
Knowles and Dita Von Teese and I'm sure this spring many more individuals will
be strutting the street bringing the 60's flare back!! Want to add a bit of
history and sass to your accessory drawer? Make sure you purchase a pair of
sixties inspired sunglasses this spring to add to your outfit and I promise
you'll be the one of the stylish females around!!!

It's been a long time coming hasn't it beauts?!! I've missed doing outfit of the day but due to the unpredictable weather here in the UK, it's made it a bit difficult but never mind!! It's here now :))
I've been poorly over the past week and haven't really been in the mood to dress up haha!! So explains my laid-back outfit to uni ;)
At the moment, we're going through something I like to call Winter Warm. It's not particularly hot but it's not freezing cold either and we're in the winter season. Genius name right?! ;P
I'm in love with my leather trousers with side panels and try to wear them whenever possible!!
My D.I.Y studded ankle boots I thought paired nicely with the outfit...
I love my flared white top but decided to tie part of it into a side knot for a touch of edge.
Threw in my must-wear-with-every-outfit-possible-until-I-can't-anymore cross earrings!
Added my navy blue winter jacket which I absolutely adore, my black snood and voila!! One outfit for uni coming up!! :))

The past couple weeks, I have seen an explosion in Monochrome. Like it is EVERYWHERE!!! Haha!! I was asked to do some research a couple of weeks ago on the S/S 13 trend and ever since I have not gone a single day without seeing it!! Celebrities have been working this trend alright!!
The Black-and-white combo has been a sensational hit around the world with stores such as Forever21 having racks FULL of monochrome pieces including monochrome jeans!!! I've put together a few monochrome inspired outfits for you :)) :
Although monochrome is mainly black and white e.g. black bottoms and white shirt, your entire outfit doesn't necessarily HAVE to be all black and white. You can still rock the trend with one monochrome piece e.g the Jordan jeans (above)!!
You could even switch it around and have a monochrome blouse!!
You can switch it up a little and add a fur coat(I'd preferably go for a fake one but that's me) or a coat which you can add a faux fur collar to! You could even go for a bowler's hat if you wanted.
If you wanted a laid back but still stylish look, maybe this is a look for you:
A white jumper tucked in on the side of leather trousers with metallic strappy heels *thumbs up* Classy and stylish rolled into one!

A couple of weeks back, I was doing my daily research and was literally gobsmacked (in the best way) when I saw Kate Moss as an Amazonian Goddess/Warrior for Versace's S/S 13 ad campaign. She looked absolutely sensational.
Joan Smalls and Daria Werbowy were also in the campaign and looked just as stunning! The tone, the texture, the atmosphere of an unknown world just makes the ad so much more amazing to me. Every time I look at it, I can't help but feel giddy inside! (call me sad)

We have become obsessed with all things funky, artistic and eye-popping.
Tipped to be one of the hottest trends of this year, with high profile
celebrities such as Pink, Alicia Keys, Zooey Deschanel and Rita Ora rocking the
nail art trend, beauty companies all over the world are stocking their lines
with nail patterned stickers to please the masses, and one of these companies
is one of the world's favourite nail polish brands; Essie.
Essie's Sleek Stick nail wrap stickers represent the 'better
late than never' phrase. They were one of the last companies to launch the
range but they have made up for it with their superb collection of 12 designs which
features simple pastel colours and chic embellishments !! The nail stickers range
from Zebra print nail 'A to Zebra' to 'Oh My Gold!' An optical illusion nail
with gold geometry, to 'Love To Love You,' a white nail with what looks like freshly
painted romantic calligraphic writing on which is one of my personal
favourites!!
The nail sticker art trend is great for anyone for several
reasons. One- it's great for those who want that perfect unique nail look
without having to spend hours upon hours sitting down trying to create it. Two-
It's also perfect for those wanting the hottest nails but don't want to spend
ridiculous amount of money getting it done at the salon. Three- it's quick and
easy to do and suitable for anyone who life is always a rush!!
