Knitted Co-Ord


ALL WHITE EVERYTHING!..

Well..almost all white everything. 

So, who loves co-ords? I absolutely adore co-ords and since it has gotten a little chillier as it is officially Autumn, I have especially been dreaming about a cosy knitted co-ord for a simple and sexy yet cosy look.

I happened to find that specific look on the Missguided website. Now, everyone that knows me and constantly ask me where I get my clothes from have resulted in just looking at me, having a look on the website and rocking up with  one of their adorable garms either similar to the one I had bought or different. How outrageous! Shows how much of a Missguided Girl I really am ;).

I have been a Missguided fan since before I could know it when I first bought my pair of aztec print jeans, oh how I loved them.. until I put on weight and they could no longer fit me! Since then I have a million and one of Missguided clothes everywhere, including ones I have had and haven't worn yet as I'm waiting for the most perfect occasion. If I am going to wear Missguided, I have to wear it to show out and it amazes everytime.

Let's get to the outfit deets, first of all this is not an official co-ord from Missguided as the skirt is a part of a different co-ord and the top is just a separate. I loved the original co-ord however, I saw this top and I thought *lightbulb* why don't I do my own spin of a knitted co-ord?

& HEY PRESTO

P.s. I love top knots and I am finally showing off my natural hair after a trim. I hope you guys also love the ear cuffs as much as I do as they add an image of elegance.

Pop SweethArt

Back again with an Andy Warhol inspired pop Art makeup look. I've just started practicing and haven't fully grasped the look just as yet but thought why not show you guys my progress so far?
I got my inspiration from the blog The Bambi Eyes and followed the outline with black eyeliner.
I also used a  kohl white and blue eyeliner.
Have a look and let me know what you think, I will be posting a more improved one very soon.

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:




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?



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!

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.

Queen of Fall

T is back once again with a new veil..With butterflies! Yea I said it butterflies!
Now before we get into the deets of my creative yet strange style, you're probably wondering why I've named this post 'Queen of Fall' and it isn't even fall/autumn yet...well it sure feels like it!
It may look like I'm just trying to rush summer, which I am but it's England people ...There's no such thing as summer here.
So who is a big fan of The Weeknd? Heard King of Fall yet? Without a thought about it I think this is the best song he's ever done. For me personally, the instrumental is enough to send shivers down my back. When I hear this song, it makes me exude confidence and I felt a sense of courage to wear whatever I choose to wear which is the feeling Clothes Over People is all about and encourage.  I had second thoughts when I bought this veil and thought 'hmm can I pull this off?'. Then I heard this song and that is all he wrote. Literally.
So why not be the equivalent of a King?
Queen of Fall.
In the words of  The Weeknd :"If you ain't complimenting you're offending" (my edit of a clean version :p)

Veil - Asos
Dress - Missguided
Lipstick - Lime Crime Chinchilla with Sleek Lip liner
