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

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.

The outfits we wore...

Worst Behaviour

Friday was payday right?

Only means one thing....

Shopping!

Any chance I get to go shopping, I take it but this month I am learning how to budget *says a silent prayer* as I spend a lot on things I think I need but can actually live without.

So without further a due here's what I can't live without apparently.....

I decided to get some A/W winter bits from Primark as I refuse to pay ridiculous prices for a jumper/cardigan that isn't even warm and I know primark is good value for money. This jacket makes me feel very prestige and simple and allows you to dress without putting much thought or effort in and if you haven't read about me on my 'About Me' page, you wouldn't know zero effort is my thing. I'm lazy, Sue me!

Jeans, jeans, jeans! Since I've put on weight, I have found it extremely hard to find jeans that not only fit me but also flatter me. Now this is where I think Primark falls short for me and I end up getting so frustrated not finding my size and struggling in the changing room that I end up leaving with nothing at all most times. Asos is also the same unfortunately except for mom jeans however the high waisted are usually always tight at the legs and loose at the waist to which I have had to roll up...It isn't a good look. I enjoyed the sizing event very much but I think my measurements only really worked for shoes and tops/jackets.

Topshop joni jeans are the love of my life! I love the range of colours, the fit and stretchiness! These will forever be my go to jeans and I'm not stressed with the price just because they last long and are worth the money.

I featured two shoes in this post. The first are from Primark and they are a cheaper version of the black Timbalands, that being said, please hold on for my next post called 'More Money than Sense'.

The other pair are Cluelessly hot! From Missguided of course and I love them. They look cute and fluffy but they are far from! You know the saying "no pain, no gain"? These are the epitome of that saying. I will never ever wear them on a night out because there is still some delicacy about them but if I wore them it would have to be somewhere where a lot of people can see me in them for a short while or where I can take breaks and throw on my flats! Mission set?

Last but not least, the clutch bag gave me the inspiration for this post. I mean, who doesn't love a Drake song/lyric?!

Comment below and let me know what you think.

T's Winter Wishlist

*SCREAMS*

I am very excited for the winter ahead! Everyone knows I hate the cold, miserable weather but just thinking about all the clothes I could rock makes me feel warm and cosy already!

Without any more hesitation, see below my Top 5 Winter Must Haves:

1. Jeffrey Campbell Nirvana Boot

I absolutely love timbalands and flat forms..These shoes definitely cater to both of my style preferences.

2. Jeffrey Campbell Dulce Shearling Pump

So these shoes might seem very impractical as they can easily be ruined however, I imagine only wearing them on very special occasions like tea parties and meetings. Definitely not clubbing material..step on my Jeffrey Campbells and I'll step on your Jordans! Catch my drift?

3. Kimberley Wool Waterfall Coat Camel

Missguided is definitely stepping up with knitwear and outer coats. So its simple, who doesn't love Camel? 

4. Klear Klutch Flamingo

Does this clutch even need words? Let's move on please.

5. Asos Black Check Cape

One thing I hate most about winter is layering up and feeling restricted which distracts from the outfit. This cape actually allows you to layer effortlessly without looking like you are trying too hard.

So there's my wishlist guys, make sure to send any sugar daddies my way! :p

Till next post!

Chapter 20

Hey guys, it's T and I'm back! So it was my 20th the other day and although I don't particularly see the significance of celebrating it, Chapter 20 is all about the celebration of my accomplishments and being proud of the person I have become. As last year was a little bit of a mess for me, I have embraced everything about me and I am very much content and confident.

Just to add guys and girls, life is way too short to not believe in yourself or what you can achieve. Never doubt your worth or abilities regardless of any obstacles you may go through in life.

Okay!  So there's me sending in an application for a motivational speaker! Onto the outfit details:

I really felt very oriental in this piece, hope you guys like it!
