Casual Dinner

Photobucket

Photobucket

Jacket: H&M
Dress: Random Shop
Boots: New Look


This is what I wore to a casual dinner with some friends last night.

I filmed and uploaded a video yesterday as well. Got a segment to my channel that I'm calling The Style Files. I wanted styling to be part of my channel and being able to give advise and answer your questions through my videos. So my first video was on The White Shirt.
You can see the video here.

If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see next and you have a Youtube account just comment on the video if you haven't comment on this post.

Simple Edge

Photobucket

Photobucket

Jacket: Clothes Show
Scarf: London
Vest: Primark
Boots: Head over Heels by Dune
On my lips I'm wearing Mac Spitfire from the Wonderwoman Limited Edition range.

Everyone has their go to outfit, and this is kind off what I stick to when I just have no idea what to wear. I'll just put on something simple and add an edgy element to it, to add some interest and stop it from looking too boring.

What are your go to outfits?

Alteration

Photobucket

Jacket: H&M
Dress: Nigeria
Belt: Mum
Wedges: Debenhams


Remember this dress from this post, I went ahead and made it shorter. I think it's more versatile now, because I'll be able to tuck it into shorts or skirts.
(Sorry about the repetitiveness, wearing the same wedges, but I think they go the best with this dress.)

Wedge Boots: Head over Heels by Dune


Got these wedges boots on Wednesday and I love them, I'll show them you more clearly in another post.

Also I uploaded onto my Youtube Channel today as you will know me and technology don't gel so obviously they were complications.

Here's the link to my channel. Bare with me it sounds a bit rehearsed I just need to get used to it and by time my personality will come out.

I've given in

I decided to open up a Youtube account, I thought if I set up an account I will actually be more likely to film something, I think what I'm worried about is that I will get all shy on video and won't know what to say but in a sense I'm talking to myself. For now sub if you want to and once I figure out how to edit and everything I will try and upload something. Also please leave suggestions as to what you might like to see, I'm not a make-up looks kind of person, I don't think I'm good at doing eye-looks, just thought I'd add that.

Anyways here's the link to the channel, so look out for upcoming videos, I'm nervous just typing this:

More DIY Maxi Skirts

Photobucket

Top: Primark
Skirt: DIY
Heels: Faith

Photobucket

Choker: H&M
Leather Jacket: Clothes Show
Skirt: DIY
Heels: Matalan

Photobucket

Necklace: Primark
Sleeveless Blouse: Primark
Skirt: DIY
Heels: Debenhams

I made some more Maxi Skirts and this is how I have been wearing them over the past three days. I really liked the print of the red striped Maxi when I saw it in the market, but horizontal stripes can look unflattering at times and I think it makes me look really wide.

Here's the previous DIY Maxi skirt I did for those that haven't seen them and if you wanted to see the instructions on how to make one yourself click here.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Also fellow blogger friends are trying to force me to join Youtube and start making videos, but I'm still unsure I don't know what I would film that would be different to anyone else, because sometimes it's just like "Oh yet another Youtuber" What do you think, shall I or shan't I?

Hair Inspiration

Photobucket

I was watching E! News today and this image of Beyonce came up and I was like, I want my hair LIKE THAT. Not the colour but the style, what do you think?

Choker Love

Photobucket
Photobucket

Choker: H&M
Dress: Warehouse
Shoes: Dune

The choker is one the purchases I made when I went to London. I was having a dilemma on whether to buy it or not, some of the girls said it wasn't worth the £13.99 others said that I would regret it if I didn't buy it.
Immediately I put it on I couldn't resist and I just love the minimalist look of it and I knew it would be likely they wouldn't have it in the H&M back home.
I will definitely going to get my money's worth out of this, I love it.

Yesterday I meet up with a couple of Bloggers in London, it was strange meeting people you've seen on the screen and spoken to, but have never seen them in the flesh, but we all got along so well, and we had so much fun, just walking around Oxford Circus and speaking to each other face to face.
To end the day we went to Vapiano to eat, nice modern Italian Restaurant, they had cards where your order goes on and then they give you this device that vibrates when you order is ready.

I must say I didn't want to go home, but we're definately going to see each other again. Wish Maphi, Nicola, Kiki, Anna and Jennifer could have made it, but all in all it was great.

Bloggers present: Jen, Lola, Dami, Jen, Anne, Tomi, Lolade, Onyeka, Lola.
