So recently, my friends and I have been doing this thing whereby we just wear all black just because we can really. So this is a look I just put together which is just quite a casual outfit I could wear to 6th form/school. Is black too dark or is it super sexy? Let me know... :-)

Fashion 911 on Radio

No Comments »

            
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I have some exciting news to announce that I've been holding onto for a while because things weren't official.
Well, am now apart of radio show and I'm a 'Fashion 911' radio host for that particular segment on a Ghanaian radio show called AmansanFM

I recently just started it so I'm still not quite perfect but I'm trying my best to improve my skills every week. Although, it's a Ghanaian radio show, I speak English on it but I will soon be mixing in a little bit of Twi (native Ghanaian language). Don't worry though, I will always translate what I will be saying.

I will be talking about the latest fashion trends in the industry for both men and women, styling tips for different seasons, issues and concerns about the fashion industry, and any affects of the fashion industry on human nature.

Just visit the website Amansan and press the play button in top right hand corner or i you have the TuneIn app you can just types 'AmansanFM' in the search tool. I hope you can all tune in and listen to me at around 12:30. The show starts at 11 and finishes at 1 so make sure you tune in for some interesting gossip, entertainment, music and fashion.

I will update you about the progress of the show very soon

Style revolutions: My style journey

No Comments »


                             

As many of you previously saw in my last post, I traveled to Ghana for the summer and I must say that in did change a lot of things about me. Being there reminded of the fact that I don't need to dress for anyone but myself and ultimately my happiness. This has made me really want to show off my style based on who I am and a lot of inspiration from the world around me and by doing that I will need to stop hiding in my room and reminiscing over the clothes I know is really hard to get and start to focus on the more realistic things in life. Fashion is not only about trends, its also about your identity and how you are able to reflect your emotion, personality and feeling through you sense of style 

I will be showcasing more OOTD and my monthly favorite from high street stores and outlets. Hopefully i can stick to my word and actually have the courage to showcase it. I will try my best though because i am now in in sixth form so I am trying to create a schedule around my work and blogging because, to be honest blogging, writing, reading and creating/styling looks is my stress reliever so it is nice to just sit on my laptop, reply to emails and messages whiles stumbling across inspirational style images on Tumblr. 

Be happy in your own skin, smile about your style and as Shameless Maya says, DO YOU BOO!

Celebrity Style Inspiration: Kourtney Kardashian.

No Comments »

The beautiful new mother (well sort of) Kourtney Kardashian  has probably one of my favourite styles ever. From her cute Peter Pan collar blouses to her cute floral print playsuits, her style is just so cute! 
 She has definitely not let motherhood alter her style as she is continuing to shine every time I see a picture of her. She is one cool Kardashian!

Take a look..

Celebrtiy Style Inspiration: Eva Mandes

Most of you may know Eva as the lady who could one day be in a dramatic bad girl action movie from a loving, and sweet movie but I personally adore her for her simplistic style. Although some may argue that its not very different and it seems like she just follows everyone else, but I have to disagree to some extent. She has worn some gorgeous gowns in her lifetime and she keeps on shining. Sometimes more is less!

Trends and Styling: The Military Jacket

1 Comment »

So recently in the world of fashion, fashions finest no1 trend setters, bloggers and youtube guru's have been drooling over the newest A/W trend 'Military'. But which seems to be the most adored item within the trend is the military jacket. Now for others, this has been a cool thing to have such a cool trend but for me, its not -.-. don't get me wrong though, its not that I don't love it, I do.
However, back in December, I was drooling over this cool heavy military jacket in Punky Fish just before Christmas and boxing day sales (YAYY!) and I was instantly star struck after about 5 seconds of staring. I instantly wanted to get it before anyone else did, but seeing as I am a person who doesn't regularly shop, I just pick little things as I go along so I left it and didn't buy it. 2months later, I spotted it again, and I was ready to buy it by the end of that week, but me being me, I ended up spending it on food (I may not look like it but, I LOVE FOOD XD), so time went buy and I didn't end up getting it. Now, its like a massive trend, and yeah I do love trends but sometimes I just like to be unique, that's why I love vintage, but now it will be even harder finding a unique one that will stand out. Anyway , I shall elaborate on that a bit more on a post I'm planning to about whether trends are always a good thing (that's not the title, don't worry).
Moving on the purpose of the post...
I thought I would do a post on how to style this jacket as it is diverse and versatile but it can also be difficult to tell whether something looks good with it or not, so here's my attempt to give you some inspiration in how to style it.


If you did read my recent post on 'My Leibster blog award nomination'  then you may have noticed that I mentioned that fact that I want to become a fashion stylist in the future (or now, if possible, lol), so I thought I would practice more and get the hang of styling and putting together outfits. So, you will definitely be seeing more styling posts

A cros breed between high tops and wedges

No Comments »

Have you wondered what it would be like to wear trainers that can look just as classy as heels? Well, no need to wonder because, recently I have spotted these shoes all over the shops, but finding the right pair can be very difficult. I first spotted these  in the June issue of Instyle Magazine when I was flicking through the pages to see what the latests trends were. Although I must be honest, I did think they were super ugly oriniginally, but when I saw it on other people such as Cheryl Cole, I thought it looked really good. Maybe its the way she styled the outfit with the shoes that made it look nice, but whatever it was, it looked damn good. My favourite pair was this multicoloured Marc Jacobs one that I thought was really unique and interesting, but most high street stores that are ahead of the game and already have them in store (e.g. H&M, Forever 21) seem to mainly have them  in beige and black for some reason. I'm sure there will be more of them popping up in the popular highstreet stores, so if you're thinking "well I want a more exciting colour than beige and black" I'm sure there are other colours around, they are just waiting to be discovered. 
If you are still very puzzled as to what I'm ranting on about, then take a look at some images below.
