The Perfect Pineapple


Hey!

I can't quite believe how mad life has been the last month, which explains my lack of blogging! But fear not, i'm back to blogging and I have a few ideas wrapped up  my fashion sleeve, so keep your eyes peeled.


So what's been happening, right? well last week Monday was my birthday, and those who know me will know that I am a BIG birthday person!!  I always celebrate my birthday, and I have done so since I was 14.  Last Saturday ( June 14th), for the 4th year running, I joined forces with my brother and his friends for our annual birthday party.  I am still waiting on the main pictures so I will write a separate blog post for that when I get them.


On another note, it seems that summer is here and I am SO loving it!! Everyone in London seems happier, Monday's do not seem as  'blah', the endless amounts of summer events are pouring in, and it is just so nice to wake up to SUN!!! I have finally whipped off my 40 denier tights and I treated myself to pedi last weekend. The beautician commented on how lovely my feet were. I know, I was shocked too as um... all feet are ugly, but I just went with it, it would be rude not too. Summer is the perfect excuse (not that I need one) to go shopping. I have bought lots of nice stuff so look out for outfit posts on here to see how I have styled them up.

Lately I have been crushing over all things oversized and maxi, which leads on to my first new outfit post. This pineapple print maxi is from Topshop, it actually is from their beachwear collection but I think it makes the perfect option for summer days and nights out in London. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it immediately! I fell in love with the dropped back hem and the sexy cut out back (which I didn't get a picture of) and for a reasonable price of £28, I quickly grabbed it and made my way to the cash desk.

I love how it sort of has a tribal feel to it ( a key trend for SS14, don't cha know). Yesterday, when I was on my way to a rooftop bar, a lovely Ghanaian  woman told me I looked like an African queen, I thanked her for the sweet comment and told her that was just a London chick in a Topshop maxi dress.


Are you a fan of the maxi dress?

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?
