Bright Little Thing



I found this adorable yellow neon jacket a couple of weeks back and hadn't got the chance to wear it. However it was looking a bit sunnier yesterday and a bit like spring outside so I was happy to debut the little cutie lol. I paired it with this metallic crop top as if the outtfit couldnt get any brighter, but it seemed to work perfectly for me. I have missed blogging (sigh) Even if Im a newbie, I havent been on here for a while due to attending a family wedding, travelling and being super-busy. Feels good to be back and Im looking forward to an overload of posts very soon! :)

The Bow Tie


 

 

 


               Hey Guys, this is Jen! I havent done a post for a minute so i thought i'd better update. A few days ago, I was flicking through television and discovered my muse of the day :
Carlton Banks! (From The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air) I have loved bowties the minute i saw one on him. So I decided to pay my usual  visit to Topman as i love their accessories. I found some lovely gems but this clip-on straw bow-tie had the perfect balance of an overstated and understated accessory.

Palazzo Perfect!






I bought this pair of Palazzo trousers over the summer and never got a chance to wear them until today. I completely love the colour and I love how they lengthen me. I decided they would go perfectly with my stripped monochrome jacket which I paired it with. I took a few shots of it before I was off to go shopping for my trip to Nigeria for a family wedding. I must say it was freezing outside so I took some shots indoors where I had a glass of red wine (which I love :)) before I rushed into a cab yikes!

Skinny Red


I'm not one for trends but I must say I love the trend of coloured skinny jeans that has overtaken everyone. I cant say I just started sporting it, I've always worn coloured jeans because I always got bored of the regular blue denim or the black. I remember wearing a red pair of skinny jeans 4 years ago and as I walked out my mum asked me 'Are you wearing that?' and I answered 'It is already on me, so yes Im wearing it' lol. I guess it must have looked shocking then. I love how they add a pop of colour to just any outfit.

I felt the need to do a collage of a few shots of iconic individuals who to me, captured the essence of cool with their style. I am completely obsessed with black and white images and I love looking at old photographs to escape just for a moment so I hope you enjoy these few with me.
