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.

In Moda

This past week has been amazing-and hectic- as I've had a chance to see some of the amazing talent that London fashion designers have to offer. London is filled with a diverse, cultured group of people and it was great to see all that diversity and creativity represented in the best way possible, draped over a beautiful person with bright lights and music. If you haven't realized already I'm referring to London Fashion week.

Last Friday to kick off Clothes Over Peoples' LFW we went to the In Moda fashion show in Shoreditch. It was a great show with designers showcasing their astonishing collections which not only made me want to find somewhere to wear these amazing clothes but also made me think about some bigger issues like climate change.

Two of the collections that really stood out to me were the CrysChrisCouture collection and the Clime It Brothers collection.

The CrysChrisCouture collection was full of beautiful and elegant pieces that would make you stand out in any room. I was also lucky enough to meet the designer beforehand and for the first time in my life being early for something- I guess there was some truth in that early bird, worm saying. The designer, Margaret was so nice and still looked amazing even after working all day preparing for the show and barely having anything to eat but some dry bread! Her hard work paid off  as her collection definitely astonished everyone including myself and my sister.

The Clime It Brothers collection was another one of my favourites. Their collection was street wear and so was full of t-shirts and jumpers with stunning prints on them that envisioned polar bears and melting ice caps as a result of climate change. It reminded me that fashion isn't always just done for fun or to make a profit but it is also a great platform to use for bringing attention to important issues that we all need to look at.

Here are some pics of all the other collections including designs from My Address Book and Catomic.

 

          

          

And of course this post wouldn't be complete if we didn't show you some pictures of the outfits we wore to the event.

Tarina,

Whats going on everyone? I kept my promise of trying to post every other day. Well this is the first time I'm doing it so maybe I shouldn't get too happy but hopefully I can keep it up. 

This is the first post since we started the blog where you'll be able to see me and T going out together and the outfits we wore. Monochrome is, to me, a timeless style that you can never go wrong with so I like to stick to the basic colors of black and white generally. However on this event I decided to go with a sporty look, after all being comfortable is the most important thing when choosing an outfit and whats more comfortable than some shorts, a crop top and some trainers?

Here's the pictures we took at the train station before the heat and the rain ruined our outfits and more importantly...our hair.
