Peter Pilotto - Pre SS/14

Hi Guys!

Today I would like to share with you a very impressive collection from duo designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos who have done incredibly with one of my favourite labels; Peter Pilotto.

I was particularly amazed at the print-fest of their Pre SS/14 collection. It felt like a little teaser of what is to come and I just had to show you! :-)

It really is just so beautiful to view. As a Nigerian, one of the types of clothing that we wear is known as 'ankara' and is full of all types of print. This is the reason why I am so in love with this collection and their many others. It is full of colour and life. The vibrancy of each piece stands out and are all very unique.

MAC got Tangoed!

Hi Guys,

Just a bit of Beauty News here. My favourite make-up brand, MAC have brought to stores their new 'All About Orange' collection for summer.

MAC have ditched the Nicki pinks and Rhianna reds and given us something fruity this summer.

It's in stores as of yesterday, so go and check it out and tell me what you think!

Looking bright beats the weather!

Hi Guys!

How have you all been!?

How have I been? Well now you've asked, I have to say that I have been pretty annoyed at the weather here in London :-( for a moment it seemed like summer was well on it's way but after witnessing depressing rain and thunder today I'm starting to think otherwise! Anyway fashion goes on right? We have to do what we have to do! Believe me, the cold and rain will not stop me looking bright, and certainly will not stop me preparing for the summer.

So I have been looking at different fashion pieces for the summer, I just had to share it with you guys!

I was particularly impressed with the SS/14 collection from Moschino Cheap & Chic.. (Look below)

It's all about the bright colours! Let's be bold and stand out in preparation for warm weather regardless of what is pouring down at present.

Below are a few images from me demonstrating colours and summer!

Let's have an Afro-centric summer! This peplum top is one of my favourite "ankara" pieces. I matched it with bright blue Jeans from New Look and a royal blue bag which I used as a clutch from Zara. Colour mix - Love it!

Taken from my instagram page, I actually did these bright coloured nails when it was snowing! Trust me bright colours are always invited.

Put together by me :-) Something I would wear. All ASOS items by the way.

High is right up my Street!

Hi Guys!

Today I am going to take us in to the wonderful world of high street fashion!
When I tell people that I am a lover of fashion and nice things, they instantly suspect that I am the "slam dunk your paycheck on a pair of Louboutins on pay day" kind of girl. Errrm not quite! Enough about high end stuff! Let's indulge in high street. As a frequent high street consumer, I know first hand that it's not about where you got it from but rather, how you wear it!

My favourite high street store is Zara. I absolutely love Zara. I have always said that they are a "luxury brand with affordable prices". The quality of clothes and accessories never seize to impress me. I shop at other high street stores such as H&M who I think are doing fantastically well in the fashion world right now, Topshop, River Island, Primark and even online retailers like ASOS.

Well, I have been researching and have seen some pieces that have really caught my eye for the coming months.

Primark: Maxi Skirt

This maxi skirt is great for summer and on holiday. Love the flower prints, it's more interesting than your usual one colour maxi and would go well with a simplistic statement such as a white tank top/vest.

Primark: Monochrome heels

I must say, what Primark have in store for us this summer is quite impressive.

Zara: £69.99

Love this check print coat from Zara and the colour too! doesn't it just brighten up your day? It actually reminds me of the check theme from Louis Vuitton's SS/13 collection! Brill!

New Look

Loving the print on this summer dress. This would go nicely with a pair of white sandals.

New Look

H&M

These heels have a very sporty yet classy look.

Topshop silk wide pocket shirt by Boutique

Topshop: £80.00

This shirt-dress would match the shoes below! love!

H&M £19.99

Wallis: £45.00

I really adore this dress! It looks like prints from Mary Katrantzou!

Have a look at my favourite look from the Zara SS/13 collection.

Zara

That colour of that coat really does give me life! Zara are giving us colours of the rainbow this season. (thumbs up)

Mango: Ethnic print jacket £79.99

Celebrities do high street too!

Yes, believe it or not, celebrities wear high street too, and why shouldn't they? Have a look at some pictures below of celebrities wearing high street over the years .
