Almost all black everything…
Last night I went out with my girl Mel to the Bipo party in Central London, as always had a great time and met some cool new people (“,) Shouts out to the girls at 10pr! I was kind of kicking myself secretly argh! I didn’t have any business cards on me and I was surrounded by a gazillion PR and Magazine bigshots… next time I will be prepared and get myself an internship!!
I actually took these outfit shots outside but I like an airhead I stood right in the direction of the sun and ALL my images came out overexposed… My blonde moments sometimes surprise me. By the time I got in, it was past midnight and the sun and gone to sleep, so HELLO to indoor pics with crappy lighting…
Boots from random indoor market, skirt is from H&M, Blazer is thrifted, top is thrifted, bag is from Primark, Ring was given to me at the Nelly.co.uk Launch Party, Bangles and Necklace are from Forever 21

Cry Me A River
The weekend was a time of reflection for me, there were so many things for my mind to ponder over. One thing I can’t stand is the boo hoo poor me attitude, its really annoying (some how I was portraying this)…
You know the saying if life gives you lemons, make lemonade? I’ve decided to adopt this and let it flow through my blood. Aint nothing or no one gonna bring me down! My only downfall can be myself… If I fall, its because I pushed myself – or I tripped over an invisible rock – or something…
I’ve moved to such a beautiful and peaceful neighbourhood *woo hoo* so the waste man who used to live downstairs from me, YES YOU, if you happen to come across this blog and read this post one day in your sorry excuse for a life – THANK YOU! Thank you for giving me the motivation to get up and push harder, thank you for giving me a reason to move, hehe I now have a cute lil semi detached house with a garden and I am much happier POW! HA! In your angry looking face…
Speaking of angry faces! Next on my shopping list is this New Era Cap from my friends shop in Peckham, omg, I am in love with the angry mouse, HA! Micky mouse has gone crazy, there should be a little speech bubble above his head that reads ‘YOU IDIOT GET ME OFF THIS HAT NOOOOOOOW!’.
How do you like my fiercely angry face? No? Too scary for you? Ok, I’ll smile next time (“,).
Sunglasses are from Bricklane, leggings from Primark, Boots were gifted from Clarks. Bag I think was Primark many years ago, Shirt was gifted from Gap, Earrings are from Forever 21. I can not remember who the Scarf is by, sorry no tag on it =/

The funeral of summer
The British weather is actually starting to annoy me, like really… it is getting highly ridiculous now, rain, rain, rain and more bloody rain! I know we need rain in order for the crops to grow, but come on man, the crops must be drowning by now.
All I wanna do is wear dark winter colours, in fact I should go on strike and wear all black everything, until the sun decides to stop allowing the clouds to bully it.
Yesterday I attended the press day for Karen Millen‘s Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, the pr team had the right choice of decor for the shitty mood of the city…
Let’s call it the funeral of summer!
Ironically my favourite piece from the collection was a sheer blouse with, yep you guessed it, black detailing. The blouse is gorgeous though! You could wear it out to dinner with a fitted pair of jeans and sexy heels, or you could wear it to the funeral of someonething – as in the sun – famous.
Considering we have not had a decent summer in way too long, I think it is about time the big man in the sky gave this poor ole country a break and gifted us a decent summer! Then I’ll be able to show you all the cool nail polish colours I am going to paint my toes with.
Until then, finger nails it is! My nails were done by Nails by Ama
Lets have a moment of silence for summer.
Sunglasses are from Forever 21 Men‘s and I used MAC‘s ‘Carbon – Matte’ eyeshadow on my lips with Philosophy‘s ‘Sparkling Cranberry’ lip gloss, as always my eyebrows are filled in with my HD Brow’s palette in Vamp

Cowgirls no Indians
There is not a lot working for me in my wardrobe at the moment *sigh* I feel so fat its insane! I know I’m not an elephant and some of y’all are probably looking at my photo with confused looks on your faces…
Can you change your facial expression please?! Thank… YOU…
The thing is, I’m big for me, I know this because most of my clothes don’t fit me anymore or they don’t fit well! I’m having a mid life crisis here, I don’t wanna shop for anything new because I want to loose the excess fat! My tits are like the size of King Kong’s fists -yes the hench ape-, like seriously how am I supposed to button up a shirt with these big ole knockers stressing my life out?
That look on my face is ‘Girl… hurry up and take the shot before the love of my life passes by and see’s my thunder thighs’!

Simple top bun, nothing special but I want to show you anyway…

Playing Dress up with Ebay Fashion – The S/S ’12 Style Challenge
Hey dolls & gents,I was at the Ebay Fashion S/S’12 Bloggers event!
YAAAAY MEEE
I’ve noticed the change on Ebay for a long while now and I’ve been intrigued, wondering how they could possibly have a Spring/Summer collection? Like really, EBAY? An online auction site has an actual collection? My mind was like ‘does that even make sense’? I couldn’t work out if it was going to be a collection of pieces developed by in-house designers, or what was going on?
I soon slapped myself and penned a note screaming ‘Ebay is an auction site J’ara… they DON’T have in-house designers…!’ …not to MY knowledge anyway; before some idiot decides to accuse me of propaganda…
My mind was finally put to rest when I was unleashed into the showroom set up in a bar in Central London.
The ‘Collection’ is a selection of pieces from online Ebay Fashion boutiques, vintage sellers and a range of high street brands, who all sell items directly on Ebay.
There are 73 items in the collection; including shoes, clothes and accessories.
All the bloggers were given the challenge of rummaging through the collection and creating a look. The prize was a trip to Paris! F*ck My Life! I didn’t win. I swear I’m not a loser, but eeeerm… something clearly went wrong in this competition!!
Kudos to the winner I guess, I’m not hating… much…! It was her 25th birthday so she deserved it and her outfit was pretty cool! – You can check out all the looks here: Style Collective – Below is my outfit… head to toe Ebay Fashion!
OK MAYBE NOT HEAD… EARS TO TOE
**ALL images curtsey of Ebay Fashion**
Although I didn’t win, the Ebay Fashion team were kind enough to offer each of us a free item from the collection! I think I had an out of body experience when this was revealed…
You know that leather jacket had hearts dancing around my eyes. I have been looking for a black leather jacket for a looooooong time! I really had not found one; maybe I’m cheap – the most likely cause – or maybe… I dunno but I just aint found one… until NOW!!!
Thank you Ebay for a fun filled evening playing dress up, drinking champagne, – which was on tap, let me add – eating great food and allowing the opportunity to mingle with other cool and friendly bloggers too!
I love Ebay, I’m sure you all love Ebay – dont lie now! Our bank managers are probably not the biggest fans of Ebay…
Peep the collection!
