I've always been confident and daring when it comes to my outfits, I'm not afraid to take risks, I'm not afraid to stand out. I love wearing bold outfits, mixing textures and prints, but most of all I lovee mixing colours. So seizing the opportunity of the good weather in London, of recent, I decided to feature a daring and bold outfit once again.
Usually I'd colour block with two different colours, but this time round I decided to go for three. I teamed purple with pink and yellow, to create this head-turning outfit. A purple deep cut long-sleeve bodysuit, with pink tailored trousers and a yellow duster, were complemented with black perspex heeled mules and a simple black and gold cross-body bag. I finished off the look with purple cat-eyed sunglasses and a dash of rich purple lipstick from Mac Cosmetics. Sexy, bold and bright... just the way I like my outfits.

"Real style is never right or wrong. It's a matter of being yourself on purpose."
- G. Bruce Boyer
Some days I love to dress up all fancy, put on killer high heels and strut my stuff... yes, for no reason at all, other than I just feel like it. Other days I prefer to dress casual, well with a little edge. Wear something trendy but cool, nothing to fussy, but still a little cute. This outfit was put together on one of those casual yet cool days.
I decided to take a break from my ordinarily dressy looks and went for something a little more laid back. I kept the colour scheme as simple as the outfit, wearing only black and white. However, I knew I had to give my outfit a little but of an edge, jazz it up so to say, so I got out my favourite ankle boots (of the moment), courtesy of Hidden Fashion.
I teamed the boots up with a black faux leather biker jacket from Zara, a ripped denim mini skirt from Missguided, a studded bucket bag from Zara and a cool t-shirt from Misspap. I finished off the look with cool retro sunglasses from Pretty Little Thing and a dash of red lipstick from my usual place, Mac Cosmetics. The icing on the cake; a whole lot of attitude and a pinch of sass.

I'm not one for following trends, but I can understand why the Polka Dot trend is hot on the scene right now and why everyone wants in. The timeless classic is one of my favourites, always has been... especially in black and white. So I decided to finally get in on the action and feature a look of my own.
Inspiration - Carolina Herrera
I decided to go for triple polka dot, teaming a large print polka dot skirt from ASOS with a small polka blouse from Missguided and a matching bag from Zara. I finished off the look with cat-eyed sunglasses from Topshop and Gold platform heels from ASOS.

I've long been a fan of Whitney Houston, since my younger days when my mum would sing aloud to her body-moving hit 'Dance With Somebody'. I always wished I could sing just like her, but unfortunately I wasn't blessed with such a beautiful voice, though it sounds alright when I'm in the bathroom... but, I guess we all sound good in the shower, right? ha ha. Anyway, when I spotted this top on Missguided, I thought it would be nice to do a little tribute outfit post, to one of my favourite female vocalists of all time. What a legend she was... and forever will be, in the hearts of many.

I remember admiring her in the amazing movie 'The Bodyguard', in which she starred alongside Kevin Costner. She was so beautiful and there was something truly majestic about her; not only could she sing, but she could act. I can't put my finger on it, I'm not quite sure why, but she always seemed like a people pleaser... I guess it was the pressures of the industry. Everyone loved her... but deep down, I question whether she really truly loved herself as much as we all loved her. Perhaps if she did, she'd still be here today... who knows. One thing for sure, is her passing definitely got me thinking that life is for living and being truly happy within myself. It is not about pleasing others to the detriment of myself. It is about doing what I want, seizing opportunities and living my best life... because you never know when it will be snatched away. Funnily enough, that's the mindset I apply to my dress sense; for me by me.
When I get dressed the only person I'm trying to impress and please is myself. I don't get dressed up seeking validation or acceptance, nor am I out there hunting down compliments. I just put on whatever I think looks good, whether it is 5 inch killer heels and a mini skirt, or ripped jeans and some cool trainers. It's all about me, looking good and feeling even better.

That's what I done with this outfit. I wanted to keep things laid back and casual, so I teamed my oversized sweatshirt with jogging bottoms, from Forever 21. I decided to give the outfit a cool vibe, so added my trusted longline denim jacket from Misspap and a matching denim hurdle bag from Primark. I finished off the look with platform patent white trainers from Puma and some funky black sunglasses from Shein. Not something Whitney would have worn, I don't think, but definitely inspired by the icon.

For so long I had been wanting to wear these khaki green boots from Missguided, but hadn't found the perfect outfit to wear them with... that was until this belt came along. This belt from Pretty Little Thing literally is literally the best thing I've ever bought from the retailer. As soon as I got it I had so many outfit ideas in mind, this was just one of them. I went for a tough but sexy military look with a bit of glam, with the gold embellishments on the belt. I added hot trend sunglasses, also from Pretty Little Thing and mandatory black lipstick, to finish of the tough look.

It has been extremely cold in London, as expected. It well known that February is one of the coldest months over here, but occasionally we are blessed with mild weather. So a few days ago when the weather picked up, albeit it temporarily, I decided to wear this cool double denim and faux fur outfit. Of course I had to take a few shots, to post on the blog.
With this outfit I paired together both old and new pieces. I teamed up y long-line Misspap blue denim jacket with a matching mini skirt from Missguided. I decided to keep things neutral; opting for a white long sleeve t-shirt from Zara, sock boots from Public Desire 9which are currently on sale), a faux fur stole from Zara and a matching wide brim fedora hat from Forever 21. I finished off the look, with a Chloé inspired bag, from MissPap. I must admit, this outfit has got me longing for warmer days... roll on Spring.

Recently I've been featuring a lot of colourful outfits on my blog, wearing unusual colour combinations, like Purple and Orange, and Green and Pink. But I wanted a challenge, to be set a task and attempt to execute it well.
So I decided to make use of the Instagram stories poll tool. I selected six colours (Red, Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple) and my followers voted in favour of Red and Pink. I knew I owned quite a few pieces in those colours, so got to work immediately on putting together what I think is a rather stylish outfit, and very fitting, giving that Valentines Day is just around the corner.
Only worn once on my blog, I decided to bring out my super soft faux fur Pink coat, that I got from Missguided. I teamed the coat with a red long sleeve top from Pretty Little Thing, a tie waist skirt from Missguided and faux fur heel from Hidden Fashion. I finished off the look with a cute cross-body mini bag from Zara and cat-eyed sunglasses from Forever 21, which helped tie in the colours of the outfit.
