Casual Sunday

Sundays are almost always meant to be spent with family or friends just relaxing in preparation for yet another week of hard work. To be completely honest, I usually spend my sundays either with friends or catching up on the latest book and television series which I am currently watching/reading. This week I managed to do a bit of everything all in one day, which meant I was rushing about everywhere. So of course, a comfortable outfit is in order. Once I woke up I felt I needed to wear something neutral with an edge, so I went for an all black look with a pinch of colour hence the kimono.

High-waisted jeans, a simple crop top, floral kimono and my favourite biker boots of the season (Topshop ones of course!). The crop top and biker boots definitely added an edge to the outfit. Plus have you noticed my new hair? Yes, that's right I cut it all off! I wanted to change my look and I've never really had short hair before so I gathered my strength and did what most people would never do and I love it! What do you think? Comments are welcome :)

This bag is the latest bargain which i found, I found it in the Warehouse sale for a mere £25 which I think is a pretty awesome price for a handbag and its definitely in trend this season! I think that my favourite colour this season is most definitely blood red, it always reminds me of autumn.

Those Little Details

I'm a true believer that any outfit is made stylish with the right accessories. I think that most of the time I base what I am going to wear on a daily basis around which accessories I want to wear especially shoes! As you guys have probably noticed by now and by the name of my blog, I am unconditionally addicted to shoes, from flats to mega heels, wedges being my favourite kind. I am slowly building my collection of shoes and definitely look at them as being works of art instead of an item of clothing.


Here I have managed to make a very simple and casual outfit look that little bit more stylish with the inclusion of accessories. I recently bought this new orange mini shopper from Zara which I love so I thought that I would base my outfit around the bag, so of course I matched it with the same colour shoes and gold accessories. Orange is in-trend this season and continues to be in-trend in autumn/winter so definitely keep your eyes out for orange statement accessories because I guarantee you will make the most use out of them!

Retro Feeling

Yet another post dedicated to my current favourite fashion garment on trend right now - the mom jeans. I don't know about you but I just cant get enough of these, they go with anything literally and are so comfortable. I'm also a big lover of the "retro" style and these do all the work especially being paired with a crop top and some retro sunglasses, who knew it could be that simple?

Spring is here

In London, it is finally safe to say that Spring has arrived!! Better late than never! So while the sunshine is shining lets make the most of it! Which means ladies, its time to whip out the summer sandals and some retro sunglasses and enjoy the weather!

Girl Gone Wild

One of my all time favourite prints is animal prints aka leopard print. I just love it, always have, always will! Any outfit with a leopard print garment always looks that extra bit more exciting! Plus it brings out the wild side in a person - fact! No matter what season it is, I always manage to find something with an animal print, especially during autumn/ winter.

Geek Friday

Geek meets chic at last! This season, I've been completely inspired by the 'geek fashion' (formal, smart wear with a casual twist). I love it and I definitely identify well with the trend. I recently bought a sweater off ASOS with geek written across the front (shown above) and have fallen in love with it so I decided to wear it today to show you guys. I matched it with some comfortable heels, a studded-blouse underneath, skinny jeans (my favourite type of jeans) and a leather jacket. It's a pretty simple combination but the outfit as a whole worked out really well. I considered it to be quite minimalistic however definitely in-trend and fashion forward. Let me know what you guys think, don't you dare hesitate to comment!

Mango A/W 2012/2013 Trends Catwalk

Recently, Mango in Regents Street hosted its very own trends catwalk for its employees. To which I had the pleasure to attend. Luckily I managed to grab myself the opportunity of being the photographer for the night which was a truly amazing experience even though I don't consider myself an excellent photographer. 

The overall aim of the catwalk was to train its employees about the autumn/winter 2012/2013 trends within the store this season. It was a successful event which was both beneficial and enjoyable at the same time. 

All of the clothes shown in the photos are all Mango so if you like something make sure to head to your nearest Mango near you or simply shop online, how easy is that?!

So finally here are some of my favourite photos of the event. I hope you enjoy them and let me know what you think!

English Rose

The last day of 2011 was spent in good company and in a great location; Windsor. A city full of English heritage and of course beautiful. Yesterday I decided to go for a stroll and maybe a little bit of shopping also with a special friend, well my best friend; Becca. I just love Windsor!! Its so relaxing to go for a stroll alongside the river and then later do some shopping in the high street and might as well while Im there visit Windsor Castel. So much to do in such a small town. I must admit it was a good ending to 2011. 

Today's outfit was a mix of casual plus chic; a comfortable yet trendy combination with some essential accessories. 

Chelsea boots: a must have for winter! If you dont have a pair, go shopping immediately. Mine were only £36 from Topshop and for those of you that hold a valid student card then you get a further 10% discount, so worth it!

Accessories always manage to make any outfit stand out that little bit further. I love rings, I consider them to be my favourite type of accessory. 

My beautiful best friend Becca to whom I thank the amazing company to.

Why not stop for a hot chocolate and cupcake in style? 

And finally but not least the historical Windsor Castle. In fact a lovely day, let's hope 2012 brings me and all you beautiful people of the world even more amazing days. But remember to make sure you spend them in style!

Yours truly,

Winter Days

Some winter days can be ever so boring especially those in which you dont have any plans. Yesterday was dedicated to a day of watching movies and baking cakes, yes sounds boring but sometimes you just need a lazy day at home. However I did leave the house to go for a coffee in the town nearby.

I decided to wear something comfortable above all, plain but warm. This beautiful fur gilet which I received as a Christmas present was chosen. Faux fur has been a trend through-out the past year and a must have for some. I love it!

Work on Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is a day dedicated to family time however for me I am working which sucks big time. At times I really hate my job (Cashier at Mango). Today I am working 9 in the morning until 6 in the evening which isn't all that bad but I would rather be with family but life is tough and we have to put up with it. 

Currently I am living away from London at my parents for the holiday period, therefore this means travelling up to London for work takes a little longer than usual. 

I spend my time on the train reading, currently I am reading Coco Chanel's biography which is really interesting, every time I go to London I actually get excited to catch up on my reading which may sound geekish but I recommend this book to everyone! Seriously, a must read especially for all you fashionistas of the world. 

Along with reading comes warm clothes since winter in England in December is extremely cold so it is essential to stock up on warm clothes and accessories. Or trust me you will get sick! No joke, please don't leave the house in a t-shirt and leather jacket because you WILL get sick, trust me I know from personal experience. 

Well I guess I'm off to work. Keep on reading.

Yours truly,

Electric Blue

Decided to add a little colour to my all-black outfit especially since it was looking a little dull. The blazer added an electric feel that made the outfit come to life. I bought this beautiful blazer from Mango the other day for £79.90. I just couldn't help myself, it was a must buy, had already been thinking about it for days! Yes, I do daydream about clothes, which probably is ridiculous but I can't control it!! But I'm sure 75% of women do it also but just can't admit it to themselves.

Once again I wore my knee high boots with this outfit, I just cant get enough of them. They always seem to make my outfits that little bit more fashionable. I recommend all ladies to have a pair, I have two! A flat pair and a pair of high-heeled knee high boots. They are a MUST for winter!

Added some jewellery also, both necklace and ring are crosses, I have an obsession with them lately, no I'm not religious like some of my work friends claim, I mean I am of course but the use of these items are purely for fashion reasons.

I always feel like I never have enough jewellery, I shouldn't really admit this but every time I go out and get drunk, I always lose a piece of jewellery or break it! Really need to stop doing that since buying new jewellery every week can become a little expensive especially if its the same piece as before.

Comfy but cute

Today's outfit was so comfortable might I add with a little twisted touch. Spent the entire day studying at university, I have a presentation tomorrow morning (which I am dreading) therefore it was necessary.

After the long day at uni I did manage to go out for a meal and then drinks in Angel (trendy north London) with my lovely friend Anna, which is also pursuing the fashion dream, I must admit she is much more fashionable than me so you guys should definitely check out her tumblr: http://annafergz.tumblr.com/.

Well I guess I shall be off to bed now, its been a long day, maybe a little bit of gossip girl first.
