THE LAST EMPEROR





Hello everyone! so i was in London this weekend to see a number of exhibitions and i begun with the screening of the Valentino documentary on Saturday that  lasted for about an hour thirty minutes. It was a behind the scenes insight into the creation of the art that is couture. The documentary titled Valentino: the last emperor was created in 2008 and premiered at the Venice film festival, however it was being screened  for the third time since September in London at the Somerset house. It was a truly inspiring, witty and emotional documentary. It showed the highs, the lows, the hard work and sheer creative genius that goes into the creation of a fashion empire such as Valentino's. Passion, love and dedication to one's dreams were also beautiful themes in the documentary. The most entertaining and emotional parts of the documentary was the dynamics of the relationship between Valentino and his business partner since 1960  Giancarlo Giammetti.  There was so much to reflect on when it was over and It reminded of some very important things such as; the importance of staying true to your aesthetic as an individual, be it creatively or just in your everyday life and the idea that there is no such thing as too much ambition when it comes to your dreams . Fashion is not just about beautiful dresses, its a way of life, an expression of  our passions, how it is we see ourselves and how we want to be seen.  A wonderful end to the day was dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Leicester square in honor of a friends Birthday.



For dinner I swapped my flats for court shoes and my hand bad for a clutch for a more dinner appropriate look.

PREPPY, 5 FT 3 AND ECSTATIC






Hello everyone... i was supposed to put these pictures up on Friday but I was unable to lay my hands on them until today so here goes. It was freezing on Friday but for some very odd reason, i was feeling super perky, i'm guessing it had something to do with not having to go into uni for 2 days.  However as we all know the joys of the weekend are usually short-lived (Depressing stuff, i know!).  Somehow my perkiness translated into a preppy look. Off late I've been experimenting with hues of green and this was kind of the safe bit of the experiment..... Hopefully i get to share a  more extreme version with all of you soon enough.













Here's wishing you all a very exciting and super fast week... unless you happen to be having the time of your life....... in which case i loathe you. xxx

Out and About

Out and About
I put this outfit together, with a warm evening out and about town in mind. Manhattan to be quite specific However this outfit is obviously not geographically limited or exclusive if you will. Its just one of those outfits that makes me picture going shopping, getting a froYo and macarons then going out to dinner. Seeing as i have a back Log of assignments and i'm all the way across the pond, sooo not going to happen anytime soon.

                                                   Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day! x

WINTER NEUTRALS

 Hi there everyone!  I took these pictures  last week Friday . It was a very casual and laid back day and it was all about winter neutrals, so i threw on  a snug fitting pair of faded grey jeans, a black  jumper and paired  this jeans and jumper with these black wedged ankle Zara boots that i hadn't yet put to use. It was pretty chilly outside, plus my jumper was v-necked, so i wrapped this lovely till blue and gold floral patterned scarf, i took  off my friend, which she purchased on the streets of London . The scarf blended nicely with my outfit and was a nice variation from all the winter neutrals and a reminder of sorts that spring is just around the corner (hopefully). Oh and its also a new addition to my closet. [yes, meaning i have no intention of giving it back]. :p






 
                                         Thank you all for reading and have a lovely weekend! :)

En Route..........

En Route..........
This is an outfit i put together and the theme was a weekend getaway. Ideally when travelling, the goal for me is to look stylish but still casual enough to jet off to any location without looking overdressed. I love leather pants because of its multipurpose nature.Whether you are dressing up or dressing down for a dinner date, just a regular day out with some friends or travelling, leather pants are reliable (unless you're in a hot climate of course) and  they always glam up  outfits.  The Celine top is a beautiful blend of dark colors and fabrics, it is very chic yet subtle.  It's no wonder high tops are very on trend, they have the dual function of being super comfy and very fashion forward.  These Isabel Marant high tops bring the right balance of street style and comfort to this 'weekend getaway' getup which is a necessity when travelling. As far as utility and style go, it doesn't get much better than this channel black caviar drawstring bucket shoulder bag.

                                   Thank you very much  for reading and have a wonderful evening.
