Deceiving forecast made me do it..

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!

Lately I've been having a little bit of fun with family and friends this summer before I go back to the hectic life of a student. So I've just gathered some images I've taken on my camera to show you the kind of things I've been getting up to. I've got much more pictures on my phone so I'll be posting more of the images soon and you can follow my Instagram: ThatChickYvetteB to have a look at some more pictures.

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.

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

Holiday Picture Diary + Update

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't blogged in a while but I've been away for a while in.... GHANA. It was a last minute trip but it was the best trip ever, I learned so much about myself and others around me and it brought me closer to God.
Whiles I was there, I received my GCSE results.. through email :/. It was the most terrifying day of my life but luckily I passed! I'm not going to brag about my results but lets just say I did quite well even though the % of people who failed was quite a lot this year.
Btw is anyone else excited about autumn since we get to mix things up and do a lot of layering? I know I am.
