I remember the very first day I locked eyes on these orange beauties. I was casually window shopping after an exam when I came across them in the window display. I smiled to myself at the thought of them belonging to me, and I just had to go in and ask to try them on. They have everything I look for in a fun pair..bright and still very practical (I mean no-one can go wrong with a wedge!).

I thought it served as the right pop of colour to this white on white pairing with acid wash jeans!

Hello Nelly UK!

2012-04-07T21:16:00.000+01:00

Do you know what? I absolutely love to relax in my bed on a cool and calm evening like this, writing a post with the hazy sound of soul music in the background. I'm scratching my head wondering why I haven't been doing it a lot lately! Here's the deal, I think I've been caught up in other social mediums that I've forgotten how beautifully therapeutic it is to just write a blog post...sort it out Shirls!

Anyway here's what I got up to on Thursday evening! I was invited down to the marvellous W Hotel in Soho by nelly.com's team to unveil the launch of their new brand and celebrate their coming to the UK. It was an evening of champagne and pampering, I got to have my nails done by expert nail technicians, as well as chat and have a laugh with other bloggers (Laura, Kristabel & Inga who were such sweethearts)! It was so fun!

I met the lovely Sandra, one of my inspirations, and was so delighted to find that she read my blog. She talked about working on the collection with nelly.com and her experience with the company so far, which has been great!

I had heard of nelly.com before, and I remember endlessly scrolling through the shoe section wishing they could be delivered to the UK, so you can imagine my excitement when I realised they were finally launching here!

I've been so inspired lately and I can't wait to share with you some outfits I've planned in my head! And although exam season is fast approaching I'm going to try my best to keep on top of things, manage my time properly so I can have evenings like this to just blog! ^.^

Springspiration

2012-03-28T11:37:00.000+01:00

One of things that has kept me sane these past few weeks, is knowing that Spring is just round the corner. I know we are all tired of layering up and heading out in the cold and we just can't wait to ease up and relax with our wardrobe choices. I know I am! Haha!

I've compiled a few of the trends I'm excited about and will be incorporating into my personal style this spring. I do hope you find some springspiration through it! :)

~ The New Girlie ~

Think pretty pastels, lovely lace and girly glamour. If this is not usually your thing, perhaps welcoming the new season with a little experimenting may be fun! Gather notes from our friends at Louis Vuitton and 3.1 Philip Lim.

(L-R 3.1 Philip Lim, Louis Vuitton, Carolina Herrera, Chanel)

~ Print Clash ~

When I say anything goes, I mean anything goes. Mary Katrazantou's s/s 12 show is the perfect example of embracing this bold but fun trend. The secret is to wear with confidence!

(L-R Issa, Mary Katrazantou, Topshop Unique, Peter Pilotto)

~ Minimal Whites & Neutrals ~

For those who believe less is more, but still want to make a statement! Play around with different shades of white and neutrals, as well as the cut and texture, just like the designs of Philip Lim, the master of minimal charm.

(L-R Kanye West, Celine, 3.1 Philip Lim, Calvin Klein Collection)

I shopped my closet and created three looks inpsired by these trends! :)

Look 1

Dress : Zara (inc. Belt)
Heels : Primark
Clutch : H&M

Look 2

Blouse : Primark
Skirt : Topshop
Belt : H&M
Heels : River Island

Look 3

Riding Pants : American Apparel
Tee : H&M
Jacket : H&M
Shoes : New Look

Jaune

2012-03-26T14:30:00.000+01:00

It was a beautiful spring day in London. I woke up to the sun shining through my window and reflecting off the divine shade of yellow of my bedroom walls. Nowhere on earth can quite compare to this place, where I call home. I felt a smile across my face as I realised the day had finally come, were my dear friends Pat & Mike were to wed. Inspired by the sunshine, my walls and welcoming of spring, I put on my yellow dress, softly complemented it with nude heels and earrings, and I was ready for the big day. :)

Secret Sorrows..

2012-03-22T11:01:00.000Z

Battling the tears, trying to write this. I'm going through so much at the moment, and I'm stuck because I don't know who to trust. I want to just come out and bare it all, but I'm scared. I'm so scared.

It's a terrifying place to be, when you feel the people who are closest to you are oblivious or indifferent to the goings on of your life, and as a result you feel even more alone. They have faith that I am a strong person, and I'm able to deal with things as they arise, but I think they forget that I too am a human being. I too make mistakes. I too feel and hurt like everyone else.

I don't know what it is, but I've found myself more and more lately thinking about or doing things that are not of my nature. As an indirect cry for help? I don't know. Maybe I'm just fed up with the way things are and have been for a long time and I'm only just admitting to my sadness and anger about it all.

I've prayed, but anxiety and worry just seems to creep and find it's way back in. I just want it to go away. I want to be happy again and I want to live the life I'm supposed to.

I've recently been asking myself what it is I really want out of life. I'm not far off from finishing my degree, but in all honesty, I'm not sure if it's what I want to do anymore. (I've never said this out loud because right from day one I've been "expected" to do such a degree and go into a line of work that leads on from it.). There have been times were I've felt so sure about what I want to do. I'd revel in the thought of being an engineer or teacher or work in some big firm in some amazing place. I'd work very hard on the back of this thought, but somewhere down the line I'd not feel right. I'd feel it so deep inside, that this is not what I'm meant to be doing. But everytime, I'd brush it off and carry on. And the cycle just repeats itself.

I've always felt that the decisions i've made were to please other people and not myself, and that's a burden I've always carried. Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful thing to be both academic and creative, but what's also beautiful is being happy knowing that what you are doing is for you, and ultimately you will get joy out of it.

Maybe this is just anxiety talking, but all these thoughts have pushed me into a place I'd rather not be in. I've tried to seek help, but as I mentioned earlier, the pressures of being miss perfect make it very difficult to do so.

Please tell me I'm not alone! :'(

Shirley

*UPDATE* I was so overwhelmed by the response I got after I published this post! I had no idea a lot of people would be able to relate to my situation some way or another. I have read every single comment, email, text and tweet, and I am truly grateful for your encouraging and reassuring words! I've since taken a step back and thought deeply about it and I've decided that finishing off my degree no matter the ups and downs along the way, is the best thing to do because I'm just not a quitter. I now know that even if I don't continue in that career path, there are still valuable and transferrable skills that I've gained and will help me in an other path I take.
I drew comfort from the fact that there are lot of people out there who can relate to this, and I'm so happy that I expressed my feelings on it! I'm going to keep at it, and figure out what I want to do, and trust, you guys will be the first to know! Thank you so much again for all your love. God bless. xoxo

I can't feel the cold anymore

2012-03-11T12:25:00.000Z

This is what I wore to my Lunch Date with my sister Kezia. Any time spent with my sister is full of laughter, and she is the only person in the world I can fully let my hair down with. We hadn't seen each other in what felt like forever, because of numerous Uni deadlines we both had, and straight after we completed them we were able to chill and catch up! She took these shots of my outfit. I really wanted to wear this cool and laid back dress with a waterfall detail, something I love very much. I thought it went perfectly with this lipstick (Carthage by Nars). The weather was perfect enough to throw on just one layer, so I chose to wear my leather jacket.

Soft and feminine, but with and edge...You know that's my thing right? ;)

LFW Day 3 Photo Diary

2012-02-21T20:15:00.000Z

Day 3, the sun was up and played a big part in motivating me for the events of the day. As I mentioned in my last post, I had no important shows to attend, and the day was going to be all about street style.

Outside Mulberry. We troddled off to the Claridges Hotel where the Mulberry show was held and soon after we arrived, the streets were flooded with photographers, street style & press, and we knew some really important people would be walking in and out of the hotel doors. I spotted my style icon Olivia Palermo, and I remember thinking what a lucky girl I was...first Harry the day before, now Olivia...Only my two favourite people in the world! Ha! I went ahead and asked her for a picture, and she was so sweet! Her car had arrived and she needed to go, but she still stayed for a minute to chat and take pictures with Elodie and I! Possibly the highlight of my whole experience! (1-3)

Furry. These ladies were really rocking the fur at Somerset house! (3-5)

Outside Unique. The show was held at the Topshop Showspace in Billingsgate. Sandra (5inchAndUp) and her luscious locks. Olivia and an outfit change. So effortlessly chic. Rita Ora, who was sporting a red lip to match her Chanel bag, looked incredible. (7-10)

Another amazing day! A little sad I had to leave all the fun and return to Uni, but I enjoyed myself nonetheless. Now, time to face the books!

LFW Day 3's Outfit.

Day 3 for me was all about capturing Street Style. I had no important shows to attend, so I decided to just go with the flow and soak up the energy around. I went with a more laid back look as compared to the first, with these pair of riding pants and a shawl, but popped a bit of colour into the mix with this neon/floral shirt and a bold pinky/orange lip! Oh and can I just say, my love for American Apparel has gone through the roof, surely this is not good for one's pocket...

LFW Day 2's Outfit.

When the day came around, I was more than excited at what it would bring. I did plan a different outfit entirely, but because of a few issues with fitting I was unable to wear what I originally wanted to. This outfit was put together in 5 minutes, after a momentary minute of panic! I am soo glad I brought this skirt with me from Nottingham! It's such a beautiful piece, and I paired it with this woven shell jacket, and a simple black top. To play up the outfit even more, I accesorised it with these marvellous court shoes and brown bag. I kept my makeup simple and my hair was styled in milkmaid braids (a style I've been sporting a lot recently!).

I've always enjoyed the Street Style element of Fashion Week, so no surprise there that I took to the cobbles, camera in hand, in search for the stylish lot. I spotted quite a few trends, and here is one: Live in Colour. Vibrant yellows, bright pinks, cool blues and trusted greens. The mix of them all brought an exciting feel to the atmosphere.

"He who is brave, is free." ~ Seneca

2012-02-07T20:18:00.000Z

Believe it or not, I was one of those people who swore would never buy disco pants, as I was afraid they would never look good on me. It was only after I tried them on in the store and felt how comfortable they were (not to mention, they did look very nice with the jumper I was wearing on the day!), that I had to man up, and buy a pair. Haha! To some they may seem like glorified leggings, and even if this is the case, I still think they look and feel better!

There's a lesson to be learned here...can't knock'em, till you try'em!

I've worn them every other day since I purchased them and gosh, they go with everything. Today I wore them with this stripy number, sported a vampy plum lip and threw on my Yeti for warmth's sake! And that extra bit of fur peeking out is actually my feather bag, one of my favourite bags, ever! :)

Back in the comfort of my flat and enjoying the wonderful feeling of my knit sweater that I left behind, and missed so much. Doing the usual Sunday ritual: Planning for the week ahead (Lecture preparations, emails and meetings etc.). iCal has really been a great help in doing so, and I can have everything synced with my iPhone in just a couple of seconds. Brilliant.

Also listening to good music. Some Amel Larrieux, Van Hunt & Sade is good for the soul. Keeps one's mind at ease.

My Birthday was on Thursday the 19th, and here's what I wore!

This shift dress in a beautiful apricot shade, styled to look like a top, and paired with leggings. I really wanted to shoot the outfit outside, but the rain would have soaked me! Ha! But I'm happy with the way they came out!

It was my first birthday being spent with my Mum in Two Years. My last two, I was away at University (My siblings made it up to Notts for my last one), and can you believe I always had exams around both? I'm so glad to have finished them in time to come home! Mummy got a little emotional sharing my birth story with me that morning, and I thought it was so cute. My mum is just so cute. Bless her.

We went for dinner and a movie, very simple and lowkey, but very special. We saw the Iron Lady, which my mum and I really enjoyed.

Clean, Crisp Lines

2012-01-09T00:27:00.001Z

What I look for in the perfect white shirt : Clean, crisp lines. Every girl should have a basic white long-sleeve shirt as a staple in their wardrobe. It's clean, it's classic but still it remains modern. I can never get tired of buying them, along with black shoes. I guess I'm just a lover of the sheer nature of them.

They look good, and go with everything.

Mum : Where is your coat Shirley?

Me : It's in the house mum, I'm just taking pictures. I'll put it on when I'm actually going out later. Promise.

Mum : Hmph. Ok. Don't come to me when you get a cold.

Me : You can't get a cold from standing in the cold mum. You get it from an infection.

Mum : Silly girl.

My mum still doesn't understand what we do here. Bless her.

This is me in my New snakeskin print waterfall dress. I'm so in love with it. I don't mind wearing it over and over again.

I'm off back to Nottingham today to face the books! I am excited because I do miss my apartment, my little space, and just being in Notts!

However, I'm not so excited about the Calculus Exam that awaits me. Oh the Joy!
