Just sharing a few cheeky street style shots I received of me from my cute lil 'me' day in Bricklane market. So weird, I haven't been to the Sunday Bricklane market in years, and now living just up the road I thought I'd have a stroll through and well damn, it's so good! Was intending on just window shopping but c'mon, it's me, so I ended up purchasing the best metallic/silver vintage bomber for just a fiver.. yes, £5! And whilst having a rummage through I was stopped for a street style picture for the amazing fashion trendcasting website WGSN (photos by Jose-Luis) Y'all know I made a vow to wear more colour, so I'm starting off my injecting little pops here and there, hence the hat, bag and lining of my jacket tehe, I will get there! 

As always stay tuned!

Colour FTW

*WARNING*

The following images may leave you with the conclusion that it's not actually everyday black, wearing colour is a thing and does actually bang..

(I do not own any of these images)

Now I'm not talking any old colour. I'm talking royal blue, postbox red, canary yellow - scary concept huh?! Don't get me wrong, I love wearing all black, but I've noticed my love is a little too much.. Fashion is not supposed to be easy, and I've come to the conclusion I mostly only wear all black because I can't be bothered to create something that bangs as much as all black does but with colour. But I've made a vow, that 2015 is all about colour! So since LFW, I have been scouring instagram for bloggers that often wear colour, or looking to friends of mine who wear colour so well for inspiration. But tbh, through my blogger stalking and inspiration seeking I've found that colour actually almost excites me just that little bit more than all black does, I feel like anyone can do all black and make it work but if you can wear colour and wear it well then damn, you got an eye for style and outfit composition. So I'm pushing myself, and I feel like I can do it, watch this space! I'm gonna have to start out with a wardrobe clear out, as most of what I have is too tempting to just wear all black errday. Plus I really want to reclaim my Thrift Queen status, what with the season for carboots coming back around, and it's the cheapest way to revamp the wardrobe without spending big bucks.

So there, I said it! I vowed to wear more colour and every single one of y'all reading are part of an accountability group to help me succeed, don't let me down! And holla if you know any bloggers or general inspiring colour wearers I can spend the next week/month/year stalking :)

Let me know if you wanna join my newly colourful world too, and as always stay tuned!

Health Goth

..and if you don't know, now you know! 

So most of y'all are probs like me when I first heard the term Health Goth, just what exactly is it?! But it's basically what it says on the tin - gothic sportswear. Think black mesh, lycra, Nasir Mazhar crops, Adidas logos.. you catch my drift. So when I was approached by the amazing upcoming Pullout Magazine, started by one of my incredibly talented girlfriends, I jumped at the opportunity of getting me and my team (#GMxGB check out the hashtag on insta and see what we're all about, I dare ya!) involved for a sassy photoshoot to be featured in the first issue of the mag to be released in May 2015. I can confirm it was the most fun I've had with my girls in a long time! We travelled down with my friend and photographer Sam Travis to Epsom where we shot in my friends studio, and it was just non stop sass, my girls bang so hard ahhh! I vlogged the day to upload onto my Youtube channel when I finally get chance to edit all the footage, and just wanted to share a few cheeky sneak peak shots because they're just too fire not to! 

Follow @pulloutmagazine for first updates on the mag and stay tuned for the website official launch, pending..

As always stay tuned!

LFW | Day 5: Colour pop

Fur - Primark Limited Edition

Orange jumper - Zara

Turtle neck - Thrifted

Culottes - Monki

Trainers - Adidas Superstar Originals

Clutch - Monki

Sunglasses - Topshop

So I made a vow with myself to do colour this Fashion Week, and well here it is! Tbh, the way I was rushing to just leave the house in time to make it to my first show today this is genuinely a thrown together look.. I started out just wanting to be warm and comfy, hence this suuuper cosy turtle neck I snatched for just £1 at a charity shop a while back, and these Monki culottes are the silkiest, cosiest bottoms ever, but the material of them makes them look so much more expensive than they actually were! And then I had the idea to spice up my outfit a lil with this orange jumper, which I've never known what to pair it with but enjoyed the idea of just clashing everything and making it work, hence the final touch; my cheeky lil skunk/fur stole. We managed to get FR for all of our shows this last day, and even got a cheeky snap, the concentration on my face though..

Also, my flatmate was actually showcasing her Rachel Boston Jewellery range in the Designer Showrooms at Somerset house, and she loaded me up with some of her goodies for the snap below. I wore a necklace from her previous collection on Day 2 at LFW, check out that post here. But seriously you guys have to check her out, her collections are to diiiie for, and have even been worn by Rihanna herself for the cover of W magazine (check out the cheeky septum featured here)

But all in all, the highlight of today and LFW in general was most definitely the C.J Yao show at Fashion Scout. Oh. My. Life. This collection ahhhh, the execution of every single garment was to perfection, and I would literally wear everything straight off the catwalk it was incredible. The collection consisted largely of geometric structure and layering, my heart genuinely skips a beat when I look at this collection wah! (warning: a good few photos of the collection to follow, sorry not sorry)

So there you have it, LFW a/w 15 is a wraaaap. And now I can get all excited for LCM in June, yayayay. Also newsflash! For y'all who know me or have me on social media will probs know that I worked at Monki, but I have officially now left! Tbh, the main reason was that the cost of London living just wouldn't allow me to continue working there part time, but I maaay be working on some cheeky things with them in the future, but sssshhhh ;) Anywho, I'm now a sassy Receptionist at the amazing Blue Tit hair salon in Dalston *fab hand pose emoji* which is great in sooo many ways, one being that I can finally experiment a lil with my hair! I know some of y'all are chuckling to yourself like ummm what hair.. but hello, colour! So yas, keep your beautiful eyes peeled for a cheeky lil makeover and new job post coming soon!

As always stay tuned!
