My cute protection cases from KG

I know this is an overdue post, so I will make it quick and snappy. Here is what I bought from the KG Garden party:

Absolutely loving the print and texture, sleek yet simple. Plus with every purchase made, a free gift was also given to the customer ! I received a choker diamonte necklace. Cant wait to feature it in a look/ OOTD post !

New Purchase: Zara



Jacquard Blazer and Leopard Heels : Zara

Something about these two individual items struck me during a stroll in the Covent Garden Zara that sunny afternoon during fashion week, (does anyone remember that burst of sunshine and mild warmth the Friday of London Fashion Week?) and I was tempted to buy the blazer and another light jacquard blazer there and then, but thought I should have a little think about them. Soon ended up changing my mind about the other one as my eyes found these babies, recently I grown a slight fetish with leopard print, recently bought a scarf form M&S, courts from Wallis, reconstructed my skater skirt (from river island which I bought from last yea)r, and when I found these on the app, I was like BOOM! They're cute for a daily outing in summer or during the night with a LBD.  

Hopefully, an OOTD post will come up soon ...

Fashion Shower



Hey everyone, I know on my facebook page I had mentioned putting up this post by the afternoon, but time had really got the best of me and it is now going up during the evening ^_^.

This post is just  on my experience at the AdR for H&M launch. I went to the flagship store in London (Regent Street) and was the fourth person there (whippiee),even though I was by myself, it wasn't so bad because I had met two ultra-cool people (one happened to be from LCF in her 3rd year) and we all got talking with each other, then chatting, laughing etc etc.

When it came to deciding what I really wanted, it was a hard choice because this year, shoppers had the option to buy multiple items plus I had made a budget of spending £200 MAX. I knew my claws had to get onto that beauty case, and I was so .... strong-headed about getting the trolley which matches, but when I actually saw it, I was like HELL NO! The size was equivalent to when I carried my mothers' hand-luggage trolleys along to my nanny's for the weekend around the age of about 6! And I would have bought it as a Christmas present for maybe my mother (or SOMEBODY in the family) but again, the price did not match the size - although it was pretty, I had to let go.





Then came onto the accessories. I was torn in-between the alligator and snake bracelets simply because I love both animals; and they all looked absolutely divine lol ^_^ ... yet Stylist and Editor of Rebel Magazine, Namal had kindly helped me narrow my selection down to choosing the alligator simply because there are MANY arm cuffs and bangles/bracelets etc evolving around snakes- try out something else (had a point).


So in total, I had bought just the beauty case and the alligator bracelet - Also, as I was one of the first 70/80 customers, I was issued with a charm which I could put on my bag, or attach to my keys etc etc ...

Now the fly girl (3rd year student at LCF) Dahlia went HAM ! Bought the trolley, accessories and was queuing up since 12 midnight ! [Dedication I tell you]




Here's what my stuff look like :

 


To say the least, I feel really clean - fresh in fact lol, boy did that shower do something GOOD to me ... and We also got a mask of AdR ^_^

Mini Haul -H&M & Topshop

Hey guys, just thought I'd share another purchased post of stuff I've bought recently from two of my favorite high street stores H&M and Topshop
All from H&M
Day dress-7.99
Black maxi dress-12.99
Jeggings -£10 (sale)
Top- 4.99
 These were just a few things I'd had on one of my 'must-have' lists ... another pair of jeggings and a maxi dress. Can't go wrong with the fit of the both of them, and definitely can't go wrong with their prices.
Also, the striped dress is a lovely basic dress for the summer which I still believe will one day come during the Olympics. They come in various colors and are just perfect for your summer holiday wardrobe ... pair with a nice pair of flats or converses and a fine pair of sunshades ... Speaking of the Olympics, I bought this london 2012 top for only £4.99 !!! I'd thought it's a cute top and I am feeling the London 2012 Olympic vibes now lool, except for the London traffic around town -_-

Both from Topshop
Shadow Palm Pencil skirt-£38.00
Denim Skater Skirt-£20
I had my eye on this pencil skirt for some time but felt that my shape and this wouldn't go together .... but after the past few months and a lil toning around the waist and thighs ... I found a size 12 and 14 to try on and the 12 fit! just needs taking in a little. Would wear this with either a plain bralet (that's just me daring lool) or a tucked in top with a sleek pair of stilettos (I was thinking red?! Hmm, I dunno) ... But I really thought that it was a navy print (quiet sad, but still satisfied with the black and white print). Also, here we have this denim skater skirt which I just thought was SOOO cute !!! this just goes with anything for the summer ... you could brighten it up with a colored cropped bandeau and flats, to a picnic with a straw sunhat and sandals and an oversized bag with some super cool shades

Recent Purchases: Update part 2

Carrying on from earlier this morning ... this post is just about another batch of items which I've have recently purchased from Topshop and New Look (the top was a gift from family in US)

Dipped Hem White Top -Topshop and
White belted day dress-New Look (Sale)
 This top from Topshop also comes in black, grey, khaki and navy blue (well, those were what I saw in Oxford Circus). It's included in the offer 'buy 2 for £10' so 10-10%? = Bargain ! You could wear this with so many things, like tucked in a skater skirt (or not, put a belt round it and accessorize), pair shorts a tuck parts of the top in it etc etc
Here is how the dress looks out ... there is also a cut out at the back (a little cut out .. nothing major). I purchased the dress from the Marble Arch store for £8 .. was really surprised to find a lot of them in there. I fell in love with this because 
A) The color (i just love white)
B) The style of the dress- this could be worn during the day with a pair of ballet flats, sandals (if the British weather allows us to enjoy a least 2 weeks of solid sunshine), or if you can; a pair of wedges. Pair this with a lovely oversized straw bag/ a bright (or bold) colored bag (such as a jade green/royal blue/ burnt orange/red) or a shoulder bag .

If (just like me) you can't wear this at the present moment due to the weather in your area but are going on holiday during the Olympics then WOOHOO! The material and style of this dress is just right for a sunny and hot vacation to wherever ! And you could wear it during the day and also at night

Recent Purchases : Update

Time-00:16

I know I should be catching up on the lost hours of sleep and maybe come back to blogging in the mid-morning ... but I actually love to blog at this time of the night/ morning (I find that working around midnight is the best time gather energy and collect new ideas waiting to pop out).


So this post is just about a few purchases that I have bought from a couple of my favorite high street stores (both from the sale and normal price)



Over dyed Khaki Shirt :Topshop, Bleached Dipped Leggings- Topshop, Emerald Green Jeans with gold zip-Zara, red ballet pumps - Zara, Ballet flats-Topshop, ring-River Island (sale)

These are just a few of what I could find, I finished tidying my room today forgetting that I planned to do a post with all recent purchases and deals I came across this joyful summer sale season (will update later on today)

However, my current favorite pieces are the green jeans, the ring and the leggings. I have been SEARCHING for a lovely pair of green jeans as they could go with a number of colors such as reds, royal/navy blues,brown, black or even a soft nude ... So with that, I could always just place an over sized white tee and a kimono / blazer or coat to accomplish a casual or going out look (If I end up creating one, will do a style post )

These are how the leggings look like out
At first, they looked a little weird, but after trying them on, I became excited (like literally-jumping around in the changing room because I came up with what I would pair these with) But you all will have to wait until the near future !!

I will later post more stuff (no much) and ...yeah ... that's all folks !!! Until later today? ^_^
