Celebrity Status!

Hey Guys,

So my OOTD has incorporated celeb collections for UK retailers, Missguided and River Island. 

I'm wearing a Rihanna for River Island t-shirt with Nicole for Missguided biker trousers. I have gone for a clean monochrome sports luxe look today. The black t-shirt complements the trousers so well and I love how the two materials are simple yet defined. The opening of the tee travels all the way up to my bra, so although chich is still quite sexy! I added my 'All Things Good' black ankle boots, my fluffy black coat and my ASOS creole hoops. With all these celeb designs, I feel one bit closer to stardom! Hope you like the look, please comment and follow!

Until next time,

Eve xx

Checkmate!

Hey guys, 

So as you know the co-ord trend is HUGE right now and Primark have been all over it! I bought this gorgeous set from there a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy with it!
It is a check bomber jacket and shorts which means it goes with pretty much any top.
I paired the co-ord with a yellow floral lace cami (bralet underneath); a floppy hat and barely there heeled sandals from New Look. I finished it off with my Barry M 'Pillar Box Red' lipstick.

Hope you like the look, leave any comments below! 

Until next time,

The Liebster Award

                      

 

Hey guys, I've been nominated to do the Liebster award so here it goes! 

11 facts about me:

I love pineapples. The fruit, the juice, the upside down cake, pina coladas, even pineapple ankle socks (found on ASOS.com ). Pineapple fiend! 

I love Dancehall music. I'm Caribbean and my family are Jamaican, so dancehall and reggae are in my blood. From Gregory Isaacs down to Konshens (big current artist.) 

Even though I love clothes, shoes and accessories, I HATE shopping! It's so annoying. I hate having to manoeuvre around people in a shop or on the street and carrying bags is so long. That's one of e reasons I love ASOS so much ha!

I have a Chemistry degree and spent a lot of time studying areas such as Pharmacology, Medicinal Chem and Analytical Chem as part of my degree and I love it! I hope to go on and study for a pHD in the next few years...fingers crossed! 

I love animals, especially cats, both domestic and wild. I absolutely love them and if I hadn't studied chemistry or chosen to study medicine, veterinarian science would have been next. 

I love cars! Loveeee them. My ideal cars would be a Range Rover Sport, Bugatti Veyron and BMW X6. Beasts on the road! 

I love making cheesecakes, key lime pie, strawberry, banoffee, orange and passion fruit...yum. 

I used to work at Marks and Spencer for 5 years, in the Lingerie department. I am a trained bra fitting assistant and used to measure and fit bras on ladies 3 days a week! 

I was Deputy Head Girl at Secondary School, as well as a prefect! 

I'm just under 5.8 inches which is above average height for a woman, but that doesn't stop me wearing 6 inch heels! I'm a shoe addict and I LOVE my heels! 

I love anything which combines mint and chocolate. Yum... This includes peppermint mocha down at Starbucks, After eights, mint choc chip ice cream, you get the picture! 

So as nominated by the gorgeous Jade-Jenna here are the 11 questions for me to answer. 

1. What is your favourite clothing brand?

Would without a doubt have to be ASOS' own brand. I have been a die hard fan since I bought my first dress back in 2007 for a special occasion. ..I love them!

2. What is your most embarrassing memory?

Would have to be when I was out shopping and I was standing out in the high street...
All of sudden something wet touched my nose and I looked up (and down to my nose) a bird had pooped on my face! Disgusting!

3. What would you rather be? A Cat or a Dog? Why?

I'd rather be a cat! I love cats and have one of my own and I see what he does all day... Pretty much nothing!  A life of riley, Eat, sleep and play; plus they are devastatingly cute!

4. What product could you not live without?

Can I choose two?! No.1 would have to be my hair perm/relaxer...I chemically straighten my hair as I have very THICK hair and I don't know what I'd do without it! (If I could choose another, it would be Palmers Cocoa Butter!)

5. What is your favourite Spring / Summer Trend?

For SS14, it has to be the Pastel trend. Absolutely stunning! I honestly can't get enough! Pastel skirts, tops, dresses, accessories..the list is endless!

6. Who is your Idol?

Don't have any idols but I'm definitely part of the Rihanna Navy! Love her! Fierce, fearless and iconic when it comes to breaking fashion boundaries. Plus she's an Island girl...enough said. 

7. Marmite? Love or Hate?

Yum, I love it. The Walkers crisps are delicious too!

8. What super hero  would you like to be?

Catwoman...who else? Sexy and sleek and powerful AND played by Halle Berry. Yes please!

9. What was the first song you ever brought / downloaded?

Embarrassingly, Whigfield 'Saturday Night'! 90s baby, no explanation needed! 

10. What do you look for in another blog?

I'm a very visual person so lots of pictures! You'll office include quite a lot of pictures in mine. To me, it makes the blog very personable. Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! 

11. What is your party trick?

I don't actually have one, but I do like to dance. I guarantee you, invite me to a party and there's good music...I'll be dancing. Even if I'm the only one!

April Lust Haves

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share with you all the gorgeous items, I currently have stored in my saved bags and wishlists across a no. of websites.

ASOS: 

So one of FAVOURITE retailers as you might know by now, ASOS.com, have SO many beautiful items that I'm hoping to purchase (although they may never see the inside of my wardrobe!)

ABOUT A BOY Ankle Boots £35

These boots will look great with pretty much anything, let's be honest!

Hype Basketball T-Shirt Dress £30

This t-shirt dress will look perfect with my River Island knee high stilettos for a night out (see my Instagram page).

This co-ord piece is a beaut! Denim premium with that marble effect print.

Crepe Blazer £45 and Cigarette Trousers £25

Lastly, this suit for work...A-MA-ZING!!! 

In fact, this will be ordered by midnight tonight! Pastel, tailored, cigarette pants, what more could you want from a women's suit?? This will definitely bring colour into the workplace! Check out the suits on ASOS as they have had some gorgeous ones come in lately!

Missguided:

Camira Spaghetti Strap Lace Bodysuit £19.99

This bodysuit is gorgeous and will look good paired with skirts, shorts and trousers.

This co-ord is perfect for a warm sunny spring day and ticks both boxes for the SS14 floral and co-ord trend. 

Lumpia Tailored Jumpsuit £34.99

I love this tailored jumpsuit, mesh detail on the sleeves and full length; it will look great with a biker jacket and pointed courts.

Barbie Perspex Block Heels £34.99

Lastly these perspex colour block heels are just lush. Been wanting to purchase these for a while but haven't quite got round to it...again these will look great paired with most things.

Topshop:

Pineapple Print Backpack £34

This cute quirky backpack totally embodies the SS14 tropical trend! Loving it!

Pink Flower Link Bracelet £14.50

Again, totally feeling the tropical vibe of this pretty bracelet.

Topshop x Adidas Originals Tracksuit Top £70

Lastly, the Topshop x Adidas range is 100% killing it and I LOVE this tracksuit top! Would look great with a crop top and bodycon midi, with heels!

ZARA:

Coat with Pockets £99.99

The infamous yellow coat...I've seen this coat popping up just about everywhere, but I'm still not sure if its 100% for me.

ALDO:

Atma Quilted Perfume Bottle Bag £35

Their take on the Chanel perfume bottle bag...very very cute! Comes in 2 colours, black and nude, quilted all over. Appears to be sold out on the website but ASOS are stocking the nude at the moment, so be fast!

Hope you like the picks, comment and leave your own April Lust haves below!!!

Until next time,

Vogue Festival 2014

Hey guys,

So last weekend was the annual Vogue Festival, down at Southbank.
I went down there alone but met up with some fashion lovers from a group on meetup.com.

I had an amazing time, I chose to watch the legendary Naomi Campbell and Franca Sozzani speak, interviewed by Alexandra Shulman.

Naomi spoke at length about her career as well as the charity work she is currently leading in Africa. She also spoke of her relationships with fellow models and photographers in the fashion industry;  and briefly touched on her special relationship with 'Grandpa' Nelson Mandela.
Franca spoke on her career as editor of Italian Vogue and her day to day life including her blog, amongst other things. They both spoke on their love of Africa and the future of Africa as a fashion force to be reckoned with.

There were of course, plenty of other things going on, including all the activities down in the Harrods Live lounge. Including the Harrods Live Catwalk!

Backstage the Harrods Live catwalk.

Me in the limelight!

They had a no. of shows throughout the day, both days, which festivalgoers could take part in! I jumped at the chance and enjoyed every minute of it! The 2 with the most votes from Instagram, won a £1000 Harrods voucher! 

There was the opportunity to shoot your own Vogue cover page with Chanel accessories for £10 which unfortunately, I didn't get the time to do!

In the main foyer, you could get your nails done, get a blow dry, write a message and post it up on a special wall or just browse through the merchandise pop up shop.

I had a great time all in all and recommend it to any fashion lover. I will definitely be going again next year! 

Hope you like the pics and...

Until next time,

On My Worst Behaviour!

Hi Guys,

So I went to the Drake concert on Wednesday night (a school night I must add) and it was AMAZING! The final show in his 'Would You Like a Tour' world tour.

I'm a big hip-hop fan and so knew I would be in a for a good time.  From start, with The Weeknd as supporting act, to finish (Started from the Bottom closing song), the whole arena was rocking! Jhené Aiko came out wearing a stunning embellished black halterneck maxi dress and heels to perform 'From Time' with the man himself.

I decided to take my ASOS Mono Fur Coat out for a spin and go for a (almost) All White Everything look.

I wore my #NicolexMissguided biker trousers which fit like a second skin and are SO COMFY, paired with the Missguided Emmelie Crepe Bralet in Cream. As I've said in 'My Candy Crush' post, the bralet is adjustable, supportive (for those of us with a bigger bust) and is not at all see through. I finished the look with my white Mid Air Force 1s.

The coat was one of my AW13 buys and I couldn't be more happy with it. I am always receiving compliments on it, coupled with the disbelief that it's from ASOS! Nailed it guys, once again! 

Anyway, hope you like the outfit, I did and I definitely enjoyed the cheeky school night out! Drake, you never disappoint!

Until next time,
Eve xx
