Supa Dupa Flyyy!


 






OOTN was a 90s themed grunge/hip hop look which I received many compliments on, with the jeans, shoes and earrings all coming from my trusty ASOS.

So I went to Supa Dupa Fly Pop Up Kitchen Friday just gone (11/4) and it was (as usual) banging!
Supa Dupa Fly is basically an event group which host 90s R&B and Hip-Hop parties around London, monthly. They have a number of events, which range from the Pop-Up Kitchen to their Hip Hop & Bowl at Bloomsbury Lanes. Dj Emily Rawson always kills her sets alongside DJ Big Ted and DJ Swerve. Food was amazing! I had a Rump Steak with bourbon BBQ sauce and Sweet Potato Fries with Bread and Butter pudding & coconut custard for afters (best I've ever had!)

I always enjoy myself and if you're a fan of the music genre, go and check them out on http://www.supadupaflylove.com/ and www.rockthebelles.com!

Until next time,
Eve xx

Ray of Sunshine

















Hey Guys,

So today's OOTD is based around this canary yellow jumper from Missguided. It is the cropped knitted jumper, which comes in a variety of pastel colours, such as Mint, Lilac, Pink...I love anything cropped so when I saw this I immediately wanted all the colours. It's perfect for spring weather as it's long sleeve but also shows off a bit of midriff. I teamed it with these leather look white skorts also from Missguided and these Gladiator Ankle Boots from ASOS. Now, these boots...I love them! They are real leather and have a chunky heel and are SO comfortable! I got them in the sale at 50% off AFTER having had them in my saved bag for agessss! Needless to say I was very happy and they are still in stock, so if they are your thing...go and treat yourself! Hope you like the outfit, please comment, share and follow.

Until next time,
Eve xx

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,
Eve xx

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!

ABOUT A BOY Ankle Boots £35
These boots will look great with pretty much anything, let's be honest!

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.

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!

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.

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!
