The Colour Scheme - A/W 15

No Comments »


I've always wondered if there is a fixed colour scheme that one must adopt during a particular season. For instance, summer usually reveals a pastel blue, green, pink and yellow colour scheme in the streets. You might also find that there are various prints and bright colours that are found on every item possible. 

Winter for me usually entails a lot of black, white and grey. Monotone colours is simplistic and can be styled in various ways. This season was no different for me except front he fact that I'm now more of a stylish comfort dresser. This usually involves a fitted pair of jogging bottoms, polo neck top and a pair of trainers. Although, this is usually only for my 9am lectures. Being warm and comfy is incredibly essential for this season as the winter nights can be quite brutal. Nevertheless, it is nice to add a stylish piece of clothing to create the final look. For me, its usually a jacket.
Here are some of the examples that I'm loving for this season in line with my preferred colour scheme. 


LFW - Street Style 1

My lack of absent is quite sad. I kind of got out of the blogging mood once I realised my camera had broken. I could have gotten it repaired but I decided it was time to actually invest in a better camera. Saving up was not easy and at times I just said 'I cba' any more. But, I finally gave in a couple of days ago. I decided to head down to LFW just to take a couple of street style snaps and video some content for my media project. It was an unforgettable day that I will never forget. If you're wondering why that is exactly, all will be revealed in an update post coming very soon.

These are a few snapshots of the day which I hope you will find intriguing. 
Enjoy.

Jumper: Primark
Shirt: George 
Jeans: Warehouse
Boots (not really seen): New Look 

Adding colour to my outfits this season has been a complete myth for some reason. Black has clearly won me over. However, when I spotted this jumper in Primark, I just needed to have it. Paring it with a plain, white, crisp shirt gave it a smart yet casual look that I absolutely adored and received a lot of compliments from. 

The new time zone is really not on my side as it gets so dark easily and I come home late because I usually stay in the library after school to revise. Oh well, this will have to do.

Enjoy..

As I Recently stated in my previous post, I'm an avid lover of the colour black , so I thought I'd create a look with some of the items I'm loving and hoping to purchase in the next upcoming weeks. Who says you can't wear black and look stylish? 

 How you all style an all black outfit?

LFW Street Style Part 1

2 Comments »

 

Over the years the phenomenon of fashion week for most people has shifted to be about what kind of outfits are people putting together for the week. This year I went simply for the people. I could see a lot of trendy individuals all around Somerset House posing for the press as well as being able to see some of the people that I usually see on my computer. The best part of it all was probably being able to talk to Shope Delano from London's Closet. She is such a sweet girl and I loved taking selfie's with her, seeking advice about University, and interviewing her for my media project which I will start working on soon. I hope September id being good to you all and you're all enjoying the surprisingly good weather. 

Enjoy..

P.S, I'm thinking about doing a couple of photo-shoots for my portfolio because all my University options require a portfolio viewing for acceptance. So if any photographers, hairstylists, make-up artists and model want to do a test shoot for your portfolio, provided you live in London, Essex, or near Buckinghamshire (or if you would be willing to travel to one of those locations), send me an email to: yvetteisboateng3@gmail.com

Deceiving forecast made me do it..

 Guys, let me tell you. Weather forecasts can be incredibly deceiving. The one day I decide to give my leather jacket a brake because I was informed about the sun appearing, it ends up being one of the coldest days of the week. 
Anyway, who else is excited about LFW tomorrow? I am super hyped!!
I'll be going with my friend whereby I'll be shooting a lot of content on Saturday for my blog and media project solely based around bloggers and some other things so stay tuned for all of that. I'm still stuff on my outfit based on the fact the weather was very deceiving and frustrating, I don't know what to do?? We'll see how I'm feeling that day. 

 Enjoy this post!

Hey guys. How is your week going so far? 
Here is just a ootd post of me just before I was going to work. I love my new job and my uniform is so cute and simple and easily something I'd wear on a daily basis so that's a plus. I literally cannot believe I'm back at school *sigh*, last year so I got to do even better this year. 

 On another note, I can't believe I actually managed to do my own havana twist hairstyle, it turned out better than I expected and was much quicker to do than I though. DIY hair styles from now on, much cheaper right. That's until I want to get weave done... 
PS sorry for the picture overload, I just loved the pictures my brother took, he's getting so good at it. 

 Enjoy!
