I haven't posted anything in a while. Nothing I'm proud of but I have had zero inspiration haven't been reading any blogs either. In short i've been in the dark.

I went back today after not sure how many months and a part of me got awoken and I asked myself why did I neglect myself like this? I don't really have an answer.

Sometimes lifes confusions throw you off, even when you know what's good for you, you allow yourself to tread in the wrong direction. One thing I know is that my life belongs in fashion...It makes me happy. For now I will live vicariously through my blog until I get to where I want.

So you get to give back. Check out their watches on We-Wood . Purchased online, don't worry about returns its all taken care of.

THE DIRTY 30'ies

Recently- ish I celebrated my 30^th birthday. Yes the dirty thirties is what I call it. For my sanity.

 I was told to prepare a fitting outfit for a fitting occasion. My two favorite people were planning a surprise dinner for me and close friends. So initially I thought a dress, a beautiful dinner dress made from romantic fabrics.

The hunt began and I literally went from one big mall to the next. I didn’t know what I wanted but I had an idea…it had to be a dress and a dinner dress at that. I just was not winning nothing spoke to me, yes none of the dresses I saw never called out my name and said PICK ME! PICK ME!

So I soldiered on and never lost hope. I had to find the one lol! I spent an hour and a half at Zara went through every dress they had I even started toying around with dull colors. Then did Country Road. Forever New just made me feel I was looking for an outfit to a tea party, No. Yes I did department stores too, nothing. 

Then it hit me. Since Top Shop launched i'd never been to buy myself anything.

The first impression I got was that it was a more pricier Mr Price. I liked it, it had variety casual street and dress up. And there it was, not quiet what I had in mind but it was a dress and it spoke to me.

The dress was denim, initially I thought for a dinner a little inappropriate. Then I thought heck I’m going to try it on and it fit like a glove. I was in love. It made sense to me, I’m celebrating a milestone what better way to do it than in my favorite classic, fun fabric, denim. Denim is timeless, it’s cool and effortless and that’s how I wanted to be remembered. Timeless, cool and effortless. So  I bought the dress dolled it up with an awesome pair of shoes from Dumond and the birthday outfit was complete with accessories and a super cute curly do.

The birthday was perfect.  Perfect company, perfect three course meal and perfect champers.

I could not have asked for more I had the perfect outfit for a perfect occasion.

Funk-ed up Colored Leather

Been thinking of doing this post for forever now...I just could not let it rest. I'm loving colored leather. Leather is a tricky material and can look tacky , then when you add color to it all kinds of wrongs can happen. So decided to get a few pics of how HOT it looks when done well..

This orange fitting dress is too sexy doesn't  need anything else to complete it 

Red bomber jacket with white coller

Ladies suede biker jacket, super cute with the different shades of  pink
