I am not my hair!

HAIR IS AN ACCESSORY!

I love the fact that a new hair do, brings about change. It sparks a motive, it stirs up a feeling of transformation. When you look great, you feel great... as much as it can sometimes be a temporary feeling of greatness, it usually subconsciously encourages our inner self to want to do great things.

I change my hair style religiously at least every 2 weeks. Part of the reason is because I get bored and also the fact that I love to feel 'brand new' haha. I have had many hair styles over the years and with each of them I have paid attention to the looks, stares, reactions and compliments. I personally enjoy the creativity style brings... my hair is another style accessory I thoroughly love experimenting with it. It can determine how casual I look, it can enhance how fancy I am dressed and it can also expose how long I have neglected my appearance.

What I find interesting is how hair can highlight our best features and sometimes draw attention to a feature(s) that usually go noticed. Not only does it create the illusion of a rearranged face, it also can age us immensely.  

• BEAUTY

With every hair style I have rocked, I have come to the conclusion that the shorter the hair, the more beautiful I feel. I love the feeling of not hiding behind the length or texture. I am beautiful without this accessory. 

We sometimes equate beauty to a particular aesthetic, no honey... we're beautiful full stop! Individually, uniquely, perfectly beautiful AS IS!

EVERYDAY CASJ!

Recently I have been feeling super casual, with no desire to dress up. These have been the extra basic outfits I've been rocking over the last couple days... be inspired!

• DENIM 

A little black dress paired with an oversized denim jacket is the summer essential! Whether it be skater dress or a figure hugging number as pictured, it will effortlessly work every time!

• COLOUR

It's always refreshing to see vibrant colours when the sun is shining. I love to colour block (as said in previous blog-posts). It is the safest way to gently add colour to your wardrobe, especially if you love to wear black.

• LAYERS

Of course the last thing you want, is to be overdosed in layers when the sun is shining, but for the sake of style do it lol. A light weight sleeveless jacket, waistcoat or gillet is harmless and can create a cuter outfit!

• STRING

String vests come out every summer. Whether they are worn right or wrong, they're out to play! Opt for a nude under garment and throw on a loose fit pair of bottoms and you're good to go!

STYLE TIP- Casual only works for casual settings! Don't be fooled... if in doubt, overdress!

OOTD | Outfit Of The Day

VIVIENNE & VINTAGE

Body suits are a cute alternative to wear with jeans, trousers and skirts. They seamlessly tuck into anything you choose to pair them with.

This bottle green body suit is the body suit I reach for most frequently when wanting to achieve another effortless look. It is comfortable, slimming and not black... I tend to buy everything in black but opted for a neutral-ish colour that would be great to wear throughout all seasons.

The cut and fit of this particular body suit is very feminine. It has a soft scoop neck in the front, a deep plunge in the back and a little more length on the sleeve. I chose to pair it with these wide legged, high-waisted (of course) denim jeans.


When I purchased these jeans I loved that they were obnoxiously oversized, but I have gained weight since. They unfortunately don't fit how I would like them to, however teamed with feminine little tops like this body suit, compliments this day to day look ready for summer.
With a dainty detailed belt or even a thick statement piece, you could take this simple look from minimal to major!

To add a little flair and my signature style, I popped on a grey hat.

JUMPSUIT ANYONE?

I live by wearing comfortable simple statement pieces and the jumpsuit is exactly that. Now that we are finally basking in some heat go grab yourself a jumpsuit! 

It is the easiest 'throw on' piece you could invest in. Worn with a heel, trainers or flat shoes you will not go wrong.

These are a few of my favourites that get worn often. I prefer to go a few sizes up when purchasing a jumpsuit so that I have the option to alter its style.

This boiler suit is one of my favs, I love that it is khaki green and good quality. I bought this from a boutique on EBay that specialises in vintage clothing. The awesome thing about this suit is that it also has a belt and removable sleeves, which takes this look from day to night and summer to winter. I chose to wear a simple pair of sneakers and accessorised with these oversized specs.

• The Denim Suit

JUMPSUIT- Primark

GLASSES- Rokit
LIPSTICK- Coluredraine- Spiked Punch

This jumpsuit appears every summer without fail, along with every other denim item I have. It is my all time favourite jumpsuit, particularly because of the sizing. It is super baggy, light-weight and effortless. I prefer to wear it as pictured where it has no shape and kind of hangs on my body. Paired with extra feminine shoes it could definitely be dressed up. I added these old-school glasses to carry out the 'brandy bunch' vibe I was going for.
