... And it was all Yellow

So I have realised I have been a little quiet on the blog front * slaps wrists* but boy have I been busy trying to make it happen!! As my sister always says "no one said chasing your dream would be easy" and she is right. For those that do not follow me on twitter etc I am currently on the job hunt as well as working on HOS, freelancing and socialising (work hard, play hard?!), I have been a busy bee!! BUT I am back and be warned, I have LOTS to write about :).

The 'tough' thing about job hunting is that it REALLY does take a lot long time, it’s actually like job BUT it has to be done and I am positive that I will find the right permanent job soon!! :)

How was your weekend most importantly, how lovely was it that the sun decided to come out to play. Good timing too as on Saturday it was (one of) my BF's engagement party. The venue was AHH-MAZING!! It was in a castle in SW London, yes really!

The Castle

The evening was just soo much fun, since I have known my friend since we were 3 years old, some of the guests in attendance were from back in the day. I also was asked to say a few words, so I did and boy was I nervous lol! But I think I pulled it off.

I had been dying to wear my neon beauty from China doll since I got it last month at the event I blogged about here and as the sun was shining I thought why not.  Funnily enough my friend wore a yellow (well more of mustard) lace dress and at one point her husband-to-be was rocking a yellow jumper. Ha- yellow was definitely the colour of the day. I teamed my dress with a pair of cobalt blue studded heels that I 'found' in my shoe cupboard and a pink popping pout. As it was still a little chilly, my fave faux fur coat aka the 'bumble bee' added a chic approach to my look.

What do you think of my outfit?

Outfit: Shoes: Miss Selfridge, Dress: China doll boutique, Coat: Roksanda Ilincic,  Glasses:Primark. Bag:Topshop.

Vogue Fashion's night out

Tomorrow is Vogue fashion's night out with various stores all around the UK holding exciting events in store and offering various discounts. As there is soooooooo much choice and I am not sure where to start lol! I would love to go to all the events but as this is not at all possible I have limited my choice down to Topshop, as I really want to see Delilah perform live in the Topshop window ( yes really). Miss Selfridge: as they are holding are ‘Love to Customise sequins, studs ’ shopping night and boy do I love to customise. I  also do love a bit of sparkle and studs so this is definitely right up my street. I do also want to make a dash to Aqua as their current collection is beautiful, especially the ‘City of Gold’ range. They are offering 30% off tomorrow which is ummm amaze.

Where will you be heading? x

Love at first sight

A few weeks ago I purchased this gorgeous yellow blazer from H&M  (below) and I will admit it was definitely a case of love at first sight. 

Yellow is one of my top 3 fave colours to wear, with the other colours being pink and purple.  I have worn my new yellow beauty a few times and I love how it just adds that bright factor to any outfit. 

These pics below were taken last week Thursday when the sun was shining  and it was  ummm summer unlike today, grr did you see all that rain earlier and why is it so humid? I am hoping the sun reappears pronto!!!!!! Anyway weather rant over and now back to more important matters- my yellow blazer. So in the pictures below I teamed my blazer with a strapless leopard print body, leather with suede panel shorts, my necklace (which was last week's bargain of the week), pink suede heels and a lovely garnet, croc skin clutch. 

Those that know me and I guess regular readers of my blog will know I am a person that loves to clash colours, prints textures etc   I wore this outfit to a late lunch with my business partner (yes, I have a business partner, ahhhhh! she is a fab friend that is helping me with a new project that I will be revealing on here in a few weeks).

I am in crazy love with my blazer, what do you think?

Bargain of last week

So here we go.. bargain of last week is this fab ring from Miss Selfridge

Animal print love!!

 Ooh don't you love rediscovering a fab item in your wardrobe? Last week I 'found' this dress in my wardrobe, squashed right at the back! It was just at the right time when I was faffing, trying to decide what to wear for a lunch date with the girls. As you can see I was VERY happy that I 'found'  this Animal print beautie.

I teamed my animal print maxi with my fave studded leather Jacket. (Excuse my rail at the back ground)

I love how glam this dress makes me feel! its light and floaty and really long so I wore my John Rocha  high boots. The picture of  me wearing the boots came out really blurry so I have not included it.

I defo need a new camera!!!!

Skipping out of the house to meet the girls, I must admit I was feeling pleased with my wardrobe find but  then 2  things occurred to me:

1-I think its time I do a spring clear out... infact it's way over due!!!!!!

2-I hope it doesn't rain.

Please can you 'Gok Wan' me?

I have been meaning to post this blog for ummm 1 month. Opps! Well as the saying goes... better late than never.

Last month one of my besties asked me to ‘Gok wan’ her aka give her a style makeover/update. Of course I jumped at the chance, those that know me will know how much I LOVE styling and offering my style advice whenever I can!!

We didn’t have much time as I had a meeting at 4pm BUT we did get manage to pick up lots of lovely items. I chose to shop at Topshop (Oxford circus) as not only is it our fave shop BUT it’s easy place to shop as there is soooooo much under one roof. Plus we could also pop into Miss Selfridge next door and try on all the clothes at the same time.

My friend has a fab figure but always tends to just throw on jeans and ugg boots, grrr. Although when she does get dressed up she looks fab!! I am always telling her that she needs to have fun with her day time look more often instead of just opting for jeans and a top AND I am always begging her to get her legs out more. Haaa I am not bossy friend!!

 

We had such a fun time, spending way too much of her hard earned money on lots of great items and the best part?? She wants to do it all again, yay!! So next week we are going on another ‘gok wan’ shopping trip, or should that be another ‘ Shoe-na style ‘ shopping  trip?!

Look out for the post on here!


Below are some of the items we bought.

My friend work-ing it in two of the items we bought :)

How HOT does she look in the dress?!!
