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.

Deceiving forecast made me do it..

No Comments »

Top: H&M

Jeans: Primark

Kimono: Primark

Boots: New Look

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!

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.

Wardrobe Staples by theupgradeables

Band of Outsiders red long sleeve shirt / H M short sleeve t shirt, $12 / Mango stripe shirt / H M jersey tank, $4.98 / Topshop petite black jeans, $60

As you get older, I guess your style may change. This has clearly been apparent for me as I've noticed that I've become more drawn to the more simple staple wardrobe pieces that look much neater and cleaner. These pieces can be worn in both summer and autumn, with a little bit of a tweak in each season. For me right now, I'm L O V I N G H&M and their simple and cheap items that I don't even know why I didn't like H&M before? Beats me. They have really nice staple pieces with lovely shapes and such cheap prices that I can happily afford.

The White tee can easily be paired with a lot of items that you can easily throw on when you're in a rush or on your way to school, which I will be doing quite often and it can look really nice with a pair of jeans. Whether its black denim, light wash denim or a dark navy denim pair of jeans, you simply can't go wrong.

I also really love the light blue blouse which I've been seeing on Hannah from COCOBEAUTEA on her Instagram page which I love!

Anyways, enough of the rambling, hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.

Casual class by theupgradeables featuring short sleeve shirts

What a casual look this is, isn't it? Sometimes it good just to stick with comfort which is exactly what I thinking about when creating this look on polyvore for my media project I'm working on. Who knew editing a picture on Photoshop could be so hard, thank God I had peers who were willing to help. Sorry I
haven't posted in a while, exams are in literally 5 weeks and I just cannot believe how fast the year has gone. Soon, I'll be off to University, yay. Well that all requires hard work and effort so sorry if I run off for while. Check out all my social media in the mean time as I'm quite active there. I've also got some great news to share... I had my first ever photo-shoot as assistant stylist a couple of weeks ago!! I still can't believe it, don't worry I will be be able release some pictures once I get a heads up from the designer for, who by the way I'm interning for.
Hope you are all having a great week so far. More to come in my next post, see you then!
