Fashion Meets Music

Hey guys,
So I've pretty much been M.I.A for the first week of september thats because I've been helping a friend out with her Fashion boutique pop up shop in Stratford Westfield. This was with Fashion Meets Music, who I worked with before at the Afro hair and beauty show. The shop is a platform for up and coming designers, models or sellers who are either promoting or selling their stuff. And there is also going to be some little work shops and talks from established models and designers during the 6 weeks which is free to pop along too.

So heres a quick picture of the before and after of the shop I helped to put together. With the help of an amazing fashion director and the Fashion Meets Music C.E.O Dennica. And there is also a few pics of my favourite things in the store.

So on Friday the 6th we had an amazing Launch party, with great music, drinks and food, a fashion show and music performances. The turnout was amazing and it was a great chance to network with press and designers as well as a chance to shop and of course we made some great sales :)

The shop is going to be open for the next 6weeks, so feel free to pop in and say hi :)

End of August: OOTD

Hey guys, 

surprisingly its the end of August and in London the sun is still out :), I have defiantly been loving the weather the past couple of days, Its been hot but not 32°c Baking like the heatwave fought-night. 

Any who heres my O.O.T.D Im wearing today to meet up with some friends over lunch and drinks for a catch up. I didn't wanna be to over dressed so I've decide to go casual with a loose floral blouse, high waisted disco pants, and my curved wedges. 

Leather pants: EbaySeller / Blouse: Newlook / Wedges: Primark

I thought the pink shoes would help break up the monochrome look. Haven't decided on a bag yet but it will probably be either my pink or black clutch. 

Take care

Marley twist / Havana braids hair style ideas

Hey guys

I'm here to share some of my favourite go to hairstyles I've been wearing this summer. Although my hair is in chunky twist these hairstyles are definitely transferable to box braids or all hair types with some length. So I hope these are helpful to someone :)

I love having Marley twist as they are a great protective hair style, they keep your ends sealed and I am easily able to wash and moisturise my hair while they are in the style. I also love how versatile they are as they can pretty much be manipulated into any style. So Please feel free to check out my hairstyle tutorial below to see how I created my 5 goto hairstyles, and hopefully someone tries one out :)

OMG!!!!!!! Its August already: Elle Freebies

Hi Beauts,

Im on my way to Brighton with some friends to have a nice relaxing day on the beach in the sun. So earlier today my Elle magazine came through the post, so I decided to take it with me for some light reading at the beach. Im not to sure how this post is going to turn out as I'm doing It on my phone lol, but anyway's its just a quick post to show you this September Issues Freebies. 

So here in this issue, with a gorgeous picture of Katy Perry on the front. So with it I got a small bottle of hair spray by Bb - Bumble and bumble which is a thickening hairspray. I've never heard of this company before so Don't know much about there products. It says it can be used on wet or dry hair before blow drying, However I hardly ever blow dry my hair, but I love trying new things :) so instead I'll spray it on my hair after washing to see if it holds in my curls. So look out as I'll will be doing a review very soon. 

The second thing was some XY nail colours, which came with a Peugeot advertisement. They are press on nail colours and I must say I'm loving the colour. At first I thought it was a bit weird having nail colours advertising a car, but then it is in a Fashion mag so I Guess it goes lol. Will definatly be trying these out soon aswell.

D.I.Y Acid wash shorts

Hey guys

As its been quite hot in London for the past couple of weeks I couldn't help but notice a lot of people rocking these acid/bleach washed shorts. They looked so fun summery and gave me a great idea for this D.I.Y.  

So bellow is a picture of my old jeans that I transformed into acid washed shorts. 

I actually wore them out that day and had a few people asking me where I got them from, and they were surprised when I said i made them myself :) ((yay me lol)). What do you guys think of the shorts?

You can check out my full tutorial on how I created the shorts in the video below

N.O.T.D - Rihanna Reb'l Fleur

Hi guys,
This is just a quick post to show you my My Rihanna Reb'l Fluer inspired N.O.T.D

I decided to use a nude base with a a black pointed tip with a gold cross over the top on my right hand and then do the inverse on my left. And as usual my right hand is looking a hot mess, I still need to practice using my left hand lol, Its so much easier leaving that hand without any patterns, but practice makes perfect.

My Tasty Healthy Smoothie Recipe

Hey Dolls

As It seems to be getting a lot hotter this summer its always good to keep hydrated, and we all know the best way to do that is drink plenty of water :). Now I don't mind water but everyone else in my house find it boring and I often see them reaching for a can of coke to keep hydrated. So alternatively I've decided to make fresh smoothies for use to drink and everyone seems to love them :), So I though I'd share my favourite one with you guys.

So heres what you will need
(serves 2)

• 1 Banana
• 1 Apple
• 1 Plum
• Hand full of grapes
• Hand full of spinach 
• 6 - 7 Strawberries 
• Ice
• Blender
• Chopping Bored / Knife
• Half a glass of water 

This smoothie has so many benefits, as its packed with loads of vitamins and protein. This is just my preference, feel free to try and substitute any fruits you may not look for another. Let me know if you try it out.  

I hope everyone is enjoying the sun

New Shoes!!!!

Hey

Here's a quick look at the shoes I Got Today

There a baby pink, Curved heel wedge, and they were on sale in Primark from £18 to £6 :). So I had to get them, and I am absolutely loving them. 

Surprising they're very comfortable and easy to walk in, I assumed they would make me feel as though I was walking on my tip toes and wouldn't be able to lean back, But they're actually just like any other shoe

What do you guys think of them
