iSSA ViBE

ISSA VIBE, ISSA VIBE, ISSA VIBE. Oh it's a Vibe, yeah yeah!

Your favourite Bald Head Scallywag is back and ready to give you the slayage of the summer..with no hair! ISSA Look!

We have as a collective neglected the blog for a little while and we apologise as we have had a lot of things to sort however, we are back and better with a lot more diverse content. We would love to have you guys feedback on whether you like the blog and reading the content or would your prefer just pictures and videos? Should we stick to just Instagram and maybe bump up our content on Twitter also? Leave us a comment below as this is for you guys, our lovely readers.

Now...ISSA DEETS (can't stop saying ISSA).

I found two cute Shirred Bardot Tops from Pull&Bear on Asos. One in white and another in yellow and I just had to get them! I specifically love them because of the frilly sleeves and they just gave me Rihanna vibes from the Wild Thoughts video. Fun fact: the material is stretch yet compact so you can wear it with no bra and not have to worry about gravity tryna ruin your life. Amen.

I paired the top with some Chiffon type material culottes with frills at the end that I got from Missguided. Let me tell you...these trousers are comfy and free. Perfect for summer. I then paired the look with something a lil different/ unpredictable/ unorthodox...yes, I paired it with nude croc print heels to give the look an edgier side.

For the shoot, we threw in some plants (they are real and they ARE my babies) and did the Damn Thanggg on the balcony and....

ISSA VIBE!

Hope you guys like this outfit/vibe! More to come! Don't forget to follow us specifically on the Gram, link in sidebar.

Until next time xx

Nightride

Hey everyone,

I'm really excited to share this post today. A lot of the shoots we try to do and share, although mainly focusing on style, does try to highlight a lot of different aspects e.g. beauty, hair, lighting, photography and editing to name a few. I want every picture we take and every outfit we show you to be different, not just me walking down the same street with different clothes. Every outfit I put together for the blog shows a different aspect of my personality and tells a different story, therefore I want the pictures we show you to represent those differences.

So without any further ado, lets get into this outfit post. The Dungaree dress I'm wearing in this shoot is from a brand called 'Daisy Street' -which I'm slowly falling in love with. I love this this dress mostly because of the little slogan near the bottom that says 'Sorry I'm Late, I didn't want to come'. I think its so funny and absolutely 100% true when it comes to me. I paired this look with a black cap and one of my new favourite lip creams from Nyx in the shade 'Moscow' which is a really dark blue.

Dark Florals

Hey everyone!

This is our first post of the year so yayyy! We've made it through another year and we will definitely continue to bring you guys great outfit and beauty posts this year.

Hopefully this year we'll be bringing you guys more high quality photos on a regular basis and maybe even a new website...? Recently I've gotten back into using photoshop so I'm hoping that some editing will help our photos to look better on screen, however we're not really about that over editing life so although we will touch up and add filters and effects we're still gonna be keeping our real bodies and faces so don't expect to see any Nicki Minaj butts or Kylie Jenner lips anytime soon! 

Anyway I hope you've all had a great start to the year and are planning some exciting things for the year to come!

Onto the actual outfit post now...

Many of you will recall a few posts back we talked about some winter trends we saw at London Fashion Weekend that we loved. One of those trends was dark florals which my jacket really embodied so I decided to make it my statement piece for this look. The rest of my outfit was pretty minimal with a black and white colour scheme so not to draw too much attention away from the jacket. I also love a white shirt as it can easily be dressed up or down and they're so many styles to play with. This shirt particularly stood out for me because of the embroidered collar which I thought was really cute!

So now that we're finally in October I think we can finally begrudgingly admit that summer is over!! I always have a mixture of emotions when the end of summer comes  because, on the one hand, I get to layer up and where massive sweaters and fur coats and be cozy. But on the other hand it's always dark, cold and wet and wearing nice clothes and looking presentable is the last thing that I want to think about. 

But anyway for now it's not too cold so I'm mostly excited for Autumn/Winter season. So this post is all about the trends of the AW16 season. We recently attended London Fashion Weekend for the first time-we're not quite prestige enough for London Fashion Week. I think it was a good experience and I think if you like shopping for designer items it's the perfect place for you. But as you guys know I'm more into charity shops than designer boutiques so for me the most enjoyable bit was the trend catwalk. 

The show itself was quite short but I did love the pieces featured and fashion shows are always exciting for me. There were 3 trends that the catwalk showcased and they were 'velvet affair', 'winter florals' and 'New Look Lace'. In the next couple posts we're gonna go into these trends in depth. But for now we're just gonna tell you about the trends that we really liked. 

Tarina- My favorite trend was the winter florals. I generally hate floral fabrics because they're too feminine and bright for me but this A/W trend pairs florals with a much darker undertone than usual and I love it! 

Thanai- My favorite trend was 'A Velvet Affair'. I'm in love with the textures and versatility of the fabric. It goes with almost anything and gives quite a grungy but sleek look that you can dress up or down.

Suit UP - Part 2

Hi guys, this post is all about Tailoring and Pinstripes! We got this amazing jumpsuit from Boohoo which looked so smart and stylish. We thought it would be the perfect staple piece for a day to night look if you had to work during the day and had to go out after in the evening. The wide leg trousers and the pinstripes give the jumpsuit it's business look but the bralet attached at the top gives the jumpsuit it's edgy and casual feel.

On a side note and a little #BTS (behind the scenes) for you guys- I wasn't actually meant to be wearing this look, Thanai got the jumpsuit for one of her looks but on the day of the shoot was too ill to wear it so I had to quickly do a look for it, however luckily for me this jumpsuit looks great when just worn on its own so thanks Thanai!

I hope you guys find this outfit as aesthetically pleasing as I do!

In Our Fila

Hey everyone we're back at it again with the sportswear brands for this post! We dedicated this post to Fila because we love there casual comfortable clothes that can be used for exercising-or if you're like me and rarely, if ever step into a gym can be used just to look stylish and fool people into thinking you exercise. 

This post is all about that sports luxe. So for those of you that don't know it's pretty much a reoccurring trend every year in the spring/summer collections. So instead of wearing sportswear just for exercise you can dress it up with heels and wear it out. 

We tried to go for a more urban edgy aesthetic for this shoot, hence the graffiti and the old brick in the background. My outfit incorporated the Fila bralet which I loved but I didn't just want to wear it on its own because my boobs are quite big and were literally spilling out so I wore it instead with a white turtleneck underneath and I really liked how different and interesting it looked paired with the high waisted joggers and my trainers. 

Thanai decided to keep her style casual and simple. With a standard Fila drop arm vest and ripped jeans with a pair of trainers which are very very similar to the Yeezy Boost shoes that she got from Ego Official.

Asos stocks a lot of Sports Brands and it's always our place to visit online for the latest so definitely go cop you somethin' cute boo!

Until next time! Go check out or Instagram page!
