Dior and I Documentary (Via: The Orchard Facebook Page)-Credit: CIM Productions

The structure of a designer piece is always an intricate process that has somehow intimidated me because it seemed like such a difficult task that needed to be handled with care. Some designers describe their collections as their 'babies' or 'child' due to the hard work that was put into making the final product as great as it can be.

This particular fashion film enabled us all to see the emotional impact that the process of making this collection had on Raf Simons from beginning to end. It was intriguing to see the ways in he collated his ideas from various aspects of fashion, history and art as it shows that ideas can stem from all aspects of life.

There's so much to say about this film that it will require you all to watch it and experience it for yourselves. Some way, some how. Find it. 

Designer Snapshot: House of Holland

No Comments »

For a very long time, I've loved Henry Holland's designs because they are so unique and he is really not afraid to push the boundaries. Ever since he became a mentor on Styled To Rock, I became an even bigger fan of his work AND his lovely personality. Working with him would be amazing, yes, that's the dream. 
The silhouettes on some of his pieces are just great, with vibrant and original prints, his clothes are definitely stuff you need to stand out from the crowd. Might I add that his shows during London Fashion Week are always so distinctive and vibrant that you simply love it. 
Have a look at his designs to understand where I'm coming from.

A/W Wishlist 2

A/W Wishlist 2 by theupgradeables featuring h&m coats

I must admit, having a job is not always a good thing because... 
1. You get paid - good thing right? Something wrong, well for me anyway
2. You start to look at things and think hmmm... " I can actually but this"
3. Pay Check comes in - finished on the day. 
Recently I've been feeling like this will be me very soon, so I'm hoping I can find an appropriate way to save my money whiles also being able to afford certain things. If anyone has any tips on how to save money, please let me know because I'm in desperate need of financial help even though I'm usually excellent with my money but now that I'm actually getting and making my own money... That's a whole different story. Help!
Well, I'm going to keep on dreaming for a while before the money comes in so, Enjoy.

New look Wishlist

New look Wishlist by theupgradeables featuring work boots

So this is my wishlist for New Look. New Look is a store that I've always loved because, it has trendy and comfortable clothing at affordable prices for young people. This month I'm hoping to purchase one of the two boots in my wishlist because it is the PERFECT dupe for the Jeffrey Campbell version which looks almost identical and at such as reasonable price.

Tag: Confessions of a Blogger

No Comments »



So the Wonderful Tatianna
created this tag for us bloggers and I was so happy because, there were so many tags that were mainly for Youtubers, although there were some that both Youtubers and Bloggers could do, but the vast majority was mainly for them. So thank you Tatianna for creating this tag.

Questions:
1) How long does it take you to edit/write a post?

It depends on the type of post I'm doing. If it is an ootd post, for some reason I find it takes me less time to do it and it roughly takes me about 35 minutes (including taking the pictures, editing and uploading) because, I have the help of my brothers. And if it's a post that requires me to create a collage, it can take up to 2 hours maximum
 

2)Are you a spender or saver?
I guess I'm a bit of both. When I have money, I will spend it on silly things like drinks and food. lol. But I normally choose the cheaper alternative, ( whiles still considering the quality and quantity) and this usually gets me my money's worth.

3) What type of post do you enjoy writing or recording?

Most recently I enjoy doing ootd posts because, I feel as though my readers are able to really see how I am as a person through my style and it is a better way to express myself

4)Do your friends and family know about your blog/channel?

Yes. and my mum keeps telling all our family members at events which can be embarrassing because sometimes they're say "ohh show me" and I would just run away or laugh. But its really nice too because my mum also helps me with the editing and design of my blog when I really need help because she is so good at all the technical stuff.  

5)What Clothing Item do you wear way too much?

My brown American Vintage jacket, mainly because I wear to school every day *cringe* 
I need a new one.  Any suggestions?

6)Are you more likely to buy a bag or a pair of shoes?

Definitely a pair of shoes

7)Are the outfits that you post really what you wear in out?

Since I haven't done much outfit posts, I would say most of them are and the rest are ones  I wear when going out. 

8)Who or What inspired you to start a blog or channel?

It's actually a funny story. I was watching the American TV show Awkward with one of my best friends and we saw her blogging and thought it was a good idea to display our likes dislike, thoughts and feelings about anything. Although, till this day my friend still hasn't made one. 
Bloggers such as Shirley and Susie also inspired me as they were the first blogs I discovered.

9)What's your style mantra? (in other words, what does style mean to you. I think....)

 Style is not always about trends, it is about freedom of expression. It may involve adapting trends in your own way and creating your own identity. It doesn't have to expensive or be filled with major brands, it just needs effort and confidence in what you are wearing. Never being afriad to break the rules is what counts. 
Be Bold, be confident, and be you - Definition of style

I tag anyone and everyone. Spread the word...

I quite enjoy doing tags so I will probably be doing more soon

Love Yvette xo

Happy New Year 2013 + NYE Pics

No Comments »

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a good NYE whatever you did. It is tradition in my family to go to church for NYE and ~I must say it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! My church is very multicultural and diverse but last night we partied as though we were back home in Africa and it was just so much fun seeing out Pastors party like African's at heart. Here are some pictures from last night...
I hope 2013 is a good year for you all and full of happiness and joy. I'm sure there will be obstacles that you will have to over come during the year as always but, how you over come them will show you and everyone the strength you have.

There will be some big changes on the blog, such as the name, layout and I will probably buy a domain name, but trust me it will be for the best. 
Oh and I've found the perfect photographers for my blog; my 6 year old twin brothers.  It sounds stupid I know but as long as I position them in the right way and change the camera settings, they're quite good. But they're always arguing over who should take the pictures... oops!  
What I'm wearing:
Dress (worn as a top): New Look
Sheer Maxi Skirt: Primark
Jacket: Internacionale
Ring, Necklace and Bangle: New Look 
Clutch: Primark
Earrings: Primark
