Totally Tropical Nike Sliders



Hello again,
It hasn't been very long since I last did a post but I felt the need to have a little ramble about my latest purchase which were *DRUM ROLL*...Nike sliders!!! 
I've never really been a huge fan of sporty flipfloppy types of footwear as I have always felt that although they may be comfortable they were always designed very ugly! 
Although this has been my general opinion for the majority of my life my perception of these lovely sliders were soon changed when I received my ASOS magazine in the post.
ASOS took sporty footgear to another level with their Totally Tropical fashion look book, they've definitely converted me! I've never purchased an item so quick before in my life,there was literally no hesitations whatsoever because as soon as my eyes hit that page it was literally love at first sight and I
 instantly ordered my own pair!
anyway there really isn't much more to say apart from everyone should get a pair as not only are they trendy they are super comfortable!

I would also recommend that you may have to size down as they do swallow your feet a little bit, I am normally a UK size 8 however I could get away with a 6 and half  OR  7 with this sliders.


Anyway cheerio for now

OOTD




Hello my chocolate buttons! I quite liked my outfit and thought it would be lovely to share it with you all!

The other day I was struggling to find an outfit as I've had a big clear out to make more room for new clothes, and literally EVERYTHING I tried on just didn't look right however after at least an hour and a half of rummaging through the pile of clothes on my bed, I picked out the most simplest of outfits.

This obviously ended up being a winner and my friend suggested we take a few photos for an OOTD.

 My best friend suggested that a little bit of lipstick would make this outfit pop! and I Definitely agree

Any MAC products, mainly because they makes me feel flawless but if I am on a budget Sleek lipsticks give me the same feeling.

3. Favourite place to shop at?
I am going to have to say it’s a Toss up Between Top shop and New look,
Other places cant compete if they don’t have a tall section!

4. Is there a make-up or clothing brand you can't stand?
I cannot stand  Converses as they are extremely uncomfortable and make your feet look clownish if your size 7 and above…of course this all depends on what colour you get. As for makeup it would probably have to be those all Natural foundations that you can purchase at Superdrug, they just make your face look ashy!

5. What's your favourite trend?

2. If I was to die and come back as an animal I would have to be either an Elephant or an owl.

 5. I'm a disgustingly unfit person and sometimes struggle to go up and down the stairs…I’m not quite sure if I should have shared that fact!

How I wear my New Look Jilly white caged sandals


  As mentioned in my previous blog post, I sometimes find it very difficult to find the perfect style and fit in shoes and when summer comes along and I am forced to ditch the trusty Dr Marten boots I sometimes find myself in a panic as its such a stressful event in finding new comfortable shoes!

Luckily I stumbled across New looks Sandal Collection and I must say I was more than impressed and I thought it would only be fair to do a follow up with a "How I wear my New Look sandals" post. So here goes...
Tropical Mesh Tshirt - Primark 
Leggings- New Look

Red Velvet Crop top -Primark
Tartan oversized shirt- Roman Road Market
Leggings- New Look



Palm Tree Crop Top - Primark (Roman Road Market)
Leggings- New Look

These Outfits are very Simple and cheap and just easy to throw on! I honestly feel like the sandals make all the difference as they really make a plain everyday outfit look on trend.

New Look Jilly White Caged Heeled Sandals

Believe it or not every summer I struggle to find sandals that are comfortable and trendy, for some this may be an easy task however being 6 ft 1 and having size 8 feet means that all the nice ones sell out fast or they just don't ever have my size!

With this usually being the case I wasn't really looking forward to replacing my Sandal collection after I did a massive clear out but I was pleasantly surprised one day when I browsed through ASOS to find that New Look had an amazing spring/summer sandal collection.

These lovely sandals were only £24.99!!! and they also come in Black and Nude, they are most definitely true to size and I say this because its really annoying when I buy shoes and they are not quite a comfortable fit and its almost impossible for me to size up because no where seems to stock a female size 9! They are extremely comfortable and look really cute when worn with socks.



I honestly recommend everyone to buy them while they are still in stock!

A week with the Rainbow Sibs

Over the last 6 days I was a part of a fantastic project catered for children with autistic siblings. I cant express how amazingly successful this project was and to see the transformation from the beginning of the week to the end when the children did their performance at The colour house theatre was just incredible! 
Here is a Link to some of the activities that we got up to during The Rainbow Sibs Project.

Test shooting with Makeupology






Dipped in blue!

Most of my weekends are spent either behind a camera or in front of one! and as you can see this weekend I was infront of one. I work with this awesome company called Makeupology and recently through them I was given a Free VIP ticket to the MAKE UP SHOW LIVE. This was obviously a fantastic opportunity for me to network and also get inspiration from all the wonderful people I met, one of these people being Phyllis Cohen!!! I was super excited as I am a huge fan of her work so as you could imagine I was in the front row taking notes during her seminar.

The pictures above are in fact four simple head shots that were taken for Makeupology however I manipulated them to make them appear as if I was dipped in blue paint. I experimented with this effect simply because I was so incredibly inspired by Phyllis Cohen's  Body art portfolio and I look forward to giving it a go on my sister...that's if she will let me! either way I was thinking maybe a Roy Lichtenstein inspired look or maybe even Jackson Pollock OR if I'm feeling super creative I might just combine the two ideas to create an awesome fantasy photoshoot!.

Lights, Camera Action!!!

Working as a freelance artist can sometimes be quite hard, work is not always guaranteed and you have to really rely on 
 those seasons where there are lots of opportunities!  

I must say that I wouldn't  have life any other way as unlike some, I actually get to live my dream. Recently the director of i2i Concepts reached out to me presenting an amazing opportunity to model for a few up and coming shoots they had planned. I obviously jumped at the opportunity and just out of general chit chat managed to bag myself another amazing opportunity to collaborate with i2i on a few fashion shoots.

I also was chosen to work for a fabulous head wrap company called Kiyana Wraps however due to another work commitment I was unable to accept their offer but my point is that its definitely a good season for me and I cant wait to share it with you all through my blog.
