NAVY BLUE SUMMER DRESS

Good evening everyone, I hope you've all been having a wonderful week. I picked a navy blue mini dress and my black wedge sandals for a shopping trip and an eventful day out  at Westfield mall with some friends. I kept the look simple, minimalist and flirty by accessorizing with layered gold necklaces and bracelets. Enjoy the rest of your week.

LIFESTYLE: INTERIOR DESING for LOFTS

When looking at living spaces, space is probably the most important factor for me, second only to beauty. This obsession with space, pretty much sums up my love for loft apartments. The open plan desing unique to lofts, always creates an illusion of greater space, that allows one take liberties with decoration. Lofts are perfect because they allow for a range of design options, from ; minimalist studio style decor to more traditional apartment design. Lofts have this uber youthful and chic city vibe to them that I find, is best suited for young, single professionals, newlyweds or the eternal bachelor and spinster. I tend to think of lofts as interior design for the young and young at heart.

BLACK in SUMMER

Today was one of those ridiculously hot summer days and there was a certain ease to the day that made me far too lazy to worry about dressing up, especially seeing as I was just going to the movies. As has become a habit , I settled for an all black outfit which usually,  doesn't exactly scream summer but turns out; black shorts and a super sheer black top is exactly the kind of laid back black ensemble you need to brave a super sunny summer day. Would you wear an all black outfit on a sunny summer day?

CHRISTOPHER'S

Good evening everyone. As I mentioned earlier, I will be dedicating a post 2 to 3 times a month to sharing my dinning experiences with you and today's post is on Christopher's. Last night I went out to dinner with a group of friends and we dinned at  Christopher's , an American restaurnat located in Covent Garden London. What I loved most about the restaurant was the ambiance, if you are looking for a calming, sophisticated evening with friends and Frank Sinatra's greatest tunes, then Christopher's is the place for you.  Christopher's has this modern take on the old hollywood vibe and just the right amount of glam to not be too stuffy and snotty. Some of the staff is friendly and all of them are at the very least polite and all round it was a nice dinning experience and different from any other experience I've had.

IN VIRGOS LOUNGE FOR GRADUATION BALL

 Good evening everyone. Last night was my graduation ball, which was more a theme park party featuring a lot of glamourous dresses and suits. It was one epic and truly amazing evening. I started the evening off with a pre-grad ball dinner with my friends and it set the tempo for what turned out to be a beautiful evening. It was a bitter sweet experience, bitter because it  brought me face to face with the reality that this phase of my life is quickly and surely coming to a close. Here is wishing you all a wonderful weekend and thank you for reading.

LEOPARD PRINT AND LEATHER SHORTS

I did a test shoot a couple days ago, with a new photographer and I decided to do something different with today's post and share just one picture from the shoot . I styled a leopard print kimono, handpicked from a stockists private collection and my River Island leather shorts. Leopard print and leather pieces are two of my biggest obsessions, so it was fun for me pairing these two pieces together, especially because kimono's are huge this fashion season and this time of year. Leather shorts on the other hand are one of the few leather styles that allow me chanel my leather obsession,  in  a 20 + degree celsius weather. I also decided to put together a look on polyvore directly inspired by my look from the shoot.
