 Happy Sunday folks. A few weeks back I did a quick shoot with a talented mate of mine Chantal Nash who is a great photographer, she means business behind the lens. Make sure you head over to her tumblr page ( http://nxsh.tumblr.com/ ) to see more of her great work . It was a quick OOTD shoot with an outfit I wore to dinner. I love this outfit, was simple and quick. I have become so lazy with outfits recently. I am going through a phase where I just want to throw something on and still look good. That's what I love most about this shirt dress, threw this on and paired it with my nude pumps and I was ready to head out of the door. This dress was perfect for a dinner setting because I do like my food and with not having to worry about my food pouch showing through my outfit after dinner is a plus sign. Another thing I love about this dress, is that I can wear it in different ways and I am all for getting the most out of your money. I love that I can wear with a heels, flats, sandals or even with a pair of light wash jeans and bobs your uncle. 

Originally was not going to blog this outfit because it was a really quick simple get up and go outfit but after posting a picture on my Instagram and the feedback I got, I decided to go ahead and blog. I don't usually blog all my outfits because I don't have enough time and getting pictures taken is far from convenient. For those asking the dress is from Asos ( no surprise there right? lol)

 Enjoy X

Howdy *waves*.... Just a quick outfit post on an outfit I wore a couple weeks back but I didn't get a chance to take pictures. As promised in my last post I did mention I would take pictures of the outfit and do a post. This outfit was inspired by my new coat, which I am totally OBSESSED with at the moment. This is how most of my outfits are put together really. If I want to wear an item ( shoe, coat, dress etc..) I just put an outfit together based on one item. I ordered my coat and when it came I was in love... as in, in loveeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!. I needed an excuse, any excuse to wear it ( we have all been there right ladies??) it can't be just me lol. There have been times I have been gagging to wear something and i'll call my girls and arrange a dinner date just so I can wear whatever it is. Well I didn't buy it to sit pretty in my wardrobe right?. So I needed ( yes needed) to wear my coat and my friend invited me out with her to a ladies event, so no better chance than now. A little back story on my coat. I have had this image of this coat in my head but couldn't find it anywhere, originally I wanted it in a caramel/beige colour but couldn't find it anywhere. Always came across something similar but wasn't what I wanted then I found it on.....wait for it..... ASOS!!!!. Really don't know why I didn't go to my beloved site to begin with. Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now should know I am obsessed with asos. urgh!! its everything. Getting my hands on this coat was no walk in the park believe me. I wasn't the only one who wanted this bad boy but I was so determined ( in a sort of weird, stalkerish way). When I want something I want it. simple. Originally sold out when I was searching for it but I've been in situations with Asos where something is sold out and it comes back in stock within 10 minutes ( when you shop on the site as much as I do, you tend to know these things ya see). I literally sat on the Asos website for about half hour and yep, you guessed it, it came back in stock and in the size I wanted. I got a size 10 just so I can wear it with different looks and wear it with layers. Wearing this coat is like being wrapped in candy floss. literally. I love it.I can literally wear something so bland and throw it on and it comes alive. No such thing as dress down day with this one. The attention I get wearing this coat is actually comedic, I get stop left right and centre while I'm out, everyone loves it. I stick out like a sore thumb in a crowd but my aim is never to blend in. I matched my coat with a pink skirt from river island and a nude top from Asos. Not the biggest fan of river island, I hardly wear anything from there, I find the way their cloths fit terrible, personally. I really wanted a skirt that exact shade of pink so I gave RI a chance and I still wasn't please with the fitting of the skirt.

                                                          

LONDON FASHION WEEKEND (VODAPHONE) !!!!!

*waves and swirls*...... Helluuuurrrrrrr!!! While we are all not lucky enough to get an invite to London fashion week, I really was not going to let that stop me from attending. I am always so envious of everyone that attends LONDON FASHION WEEK, This year I HAD to, I mean I just had to go (where there is a will, there is a way right?). So purchased tickets for the weekend show online ( we all have to start somewhere right?). Can I just say I had such blast, absolute whale of a time. Saying that, Course I knew it would be fabulous but really didn't know what to expect, this was my first real fashion show experience. I wanted the full experience, might as well make the most of the day. I got the tickets for the shop, bag and catwalk package and with the 20% discount code I found online, it was surprisingly affordable ( you should all know by now, I love me a bargain). Bought my tickets a while back and it felt like I was waiting forever and a day before the day actually came ( I'm tad bit VERY inpatient). I attended the Saturday evening show. The whole event flew by, not to sure if it was actually short or I enjoyed myself far too much or the fact that we did get there late *giggles* ( I blame the girls, always making me late, 4 ladies getting ready together was never going to be a smooth ride) The actual catwalk itself lasted only about 15 minutes, I am sure I shed a little tear when it was finished, I just did not want it to stop, literally could have watched the catwalk foreverrrrrr. Before the catwalk we got a chance to shop and walk around and got a feel of the whole scene (which I loved). While shopping I was keeping a look out for all the outfits folks had on. I can never help myself, I have a passion for personal style and love seeing what people wear. I managed to get a few snaps of some of the outfits I loved that day, so look out for my next post. The fact that I got there late did not give me enough time to look through all the boutiques and rummage through and find myself some bargains :(. The items that did catch my eye were still jaw dropping expensive, even with the discounts, like this amazing sequined number I feel in love with, which was £1,900 after discount ( yes a moment of silence please)............................ sigh. Girl has expensive taste right? but I don't have madam Beckham bank balance just yet so that expensive taste shall remain nothing but a fantasy for a while but a girl can still dream right? and dream I did. In my head I purchased that sexy sequined number and looked nothing less than fabulous in it. Yes. *swirls and does the queen's wave* Well that is all from me for now, hope you enjoy the pics of my experience and my outfit. Speaking of my outfit, I wore this fabulous drape style jacket that was made by a friend of mine ( talented girl) paired with a black body-con dress from Topshop and a strap heel from Tk Max. The outfit I originally wanted to wear just did not go to plan and the dress I wanted was sold out, so had to make do with the Topshop dress I already had lurking in my wardrobe.

I have thee cheesiest grin!! urgh!! lol
