My quick fix !

Lately, I haven't been feeling myself, hence the lack of blogging. I'm just going through some stuff which requires a lot of attention as well as focusing on my last term of university (I know they say 1st doesn't really count , but I still value every bit of it - and so you should) , I tend to not always approach my social media sites and blog as I may end up having a little rant or become negative; and I don't want that  !

I've kept myself really busy though ! Doing things that distract me from the thought of certain mishaps and even learning a few more things about the aspect of roles within this industry as well as life lessons.

But in between running from uni to work, to a meeting, to picking up something from a showroom, I stumbled into River Island (am I the only one that ' accidentally' ends up in a retail store when they need a 'pick me up'? ) , and saw these babies just calling out my name ! (Ok so they weren't calling my name, but you know that feeling right? lol)

I had seen them in the black ages ago, but during that time; I was challenging my mother how long I can go without using my debit card. But as I proved her wrong, (and I've also been on the hunt for a cool pair of ankle boot/sandals) these seemed like the best reward as well as enough to 'fix' me out of my mood lol.

They are truly a beauty aren't they ? And they went down from £55 to £35 !

I'm the 'quick-fix-on-one-item' type of person than to go on a haul, what are you ? 

Happy Friday !

Hermes Exhibition

An exhibition dedicated to the luxury brand will be open to the public at the Saatchi Gallery from the 21st-27th May. Expect to see a selection of different crafts demonstrated live, how they make the luxury products in their workshops and much more !

The Festival de Métiers exhibition will only run for a week, providing to the public a fascinating experience and insight in the crafting of fine and luxury products which Hermès have prided themselves with for many years. We will be able to see how the iconic silk scarves are printed as well as the 'birth' and creation of handbags, fine-jewellery and (hopefully) much more.

So far, the exhibition has been held in Beijing & Shenyang in China and its now coming to London for a week before it sets off to Dusseldorf.

I definitely want to attend this exhibition, I find that brands who are holding theses sort of 'invites' into their world, letting you gain insight to how they have come from the past to the present excites me. Visiting the Valentino, Chanel  and Dior exhibition felt like taking a History class outside my university library and being able to get up close and really see the fabrics, and documents / stamps / symbols that makes the brand what it really is ! So I urge you to go, it will be a fun day out for you and friends and a great history lesson about one of the most well-known and well respected brands in luxury fashion.

OOTD || Bank Holiday Weekend

Happy Bank Holiday all ! 

Last night along with Jourdan, I attended FashionEvents.co.uk launch party. Fashion Events is a newly launched website that provides a unique experience for both consumer and fashion designers to London, taking a 'fashion forward' approach to seeking new emerging talent in all aspects of the industry to give exposure to their work (so any designers reading this, I suggest you drop them an email ;) ) . Not only so, but they also report on many live events, and keep up-to-date throughout the fashion calendar. It has been around for not long, but officially launched yesterday due to such a massive response to the company.

It was a lovely evening, Jourdan and I met a lot of interesting people from various aspects of life, and the bank holiday weather around South Kensington ( the launch was at Boujis ) was just right ! Here is what Jourdan and I wore

 

Jourdan - Blazer - House of Oshae, Top/ heels and jeans - Topshop

Me - Blouse - Zara , Skirt - H&M, Shoes - Wallis

What's New In - Beauty and Skincare

From left-right

Exfoliation in cocoa | tea tree blemish face lotion | seaweed toner 

(the facial wash/cream and mask look similar)

I like to spend as much time searching for the best skincare products as well as make-up. I have combination skin therefore I have to be really careful on how I look after my face in order to control it's 'weirdness'. I have been using Body Shop products for a long time now; its affordable, the ranges are for many types of skin and the staff seem to know their stuff which makes me comfortable in buying the product. If it doesn't work for me then, most of the time I take them back, or they offer samples for you to try before purchasing. So this year, I changed from the vitamin e range to the seaweed range; choosing mattifying day cream, facial wash and toner for daily usage and on odd occasions, I will use the clay mask (2-3 times a week). I absolutely LOVE them ! Nowadays i don't have to reapply make-up or worry about my face looking shiny as an oiled up frying pan ! I recently also purchased tea tree blemish fade night lotion because you do need a night lotion as much as a day one. In addition to these, I re-stocked on my exfoliation kit. The large one is for the body, I tend to use this 1-3 times a week (once if I am going to the sauna during that week) and the small one is what i use daily for my hands, i love keeping my hands feeling so soft and smooth lol

Nails inc from left-right
Hobarrt Place | Marble Arch | Cumberland Street 

These babies are the latest to my collection, I had bought them in February but wanted to wait until spring had arrived to paint them on my nails. I found them in TK Maxx ( the one in Tottenham Court Road/ Leyton / Monument, London are the best to find these) for (I think) £16 for all of the three. Yes thats right; for all three ! I think when you go to the shop or at John Lewis; they're about £11 each, so when I saw these gorgeous colours, I just heard the voice of the man in the Tk Maxx Advert and bought them ! I am currently wearing the one on the left (Hobart Place) and a lot of people have stopped and complimented how cute they look ! I think the next one with be the Cumberland Street one ... What do you think?
