White on White (Jamaican Remix)

Jeans - Topshop

Vest - H&m

Shoes - Hi-Top Reebok Classics

Earrings - YAAM Jamaican Beach Bar, Berlin

Excuse the many selfies, we went a bit camera mad.. (we being Karmi and I, not 'the royal we')

[PHOTO CREDS TO KARMI FOR TAKING THESE PICTURES OF ME]

Now I know what you're thinking, white on white... bit daring for a child trapped in an 18 year old body, but I am extremely proud to say that I actually spilled NOTHING down myself, this cute outfit remained as wonderfully white as my natural skin colour, unlike the sassy tan I am supporting in these pictures.

I have forever been jealous of girls who can pull off white on white, and I wont lie it took a lot to get me to leave the house, but hey we all have to be a little crazy on holiday.. (This was in Hvar, Crotia just to clear up any confusion) But hey, seeing as we're throwbacking to my summer (and crying because it has ended) Here's a little about my earrings, let me take you to Berlin.. or even better the YAAM Bar next to part of the Berlin Wall......

Oh and thanks to Kiril for footbombing this picture, but your butt is better too *smirks*

You. Are. Welcome. Friends.

Anyway HOW CUTE are these earrings, handmade by a stall owner in the YAAM bar, I wrote about it in my blog post 'Part 1 of Interrailing' so if you haven't read it yet you can go check that out now... (that is your queue to stalk the rest of my blog)

So, if you are ever in Berlin go to Yaam, you will not be disappointed. I PROMISE YOU, IT IS AWESOME. Supposedly the sand that covers the entire space of the bar and surrounding stalls is imported from Jamaican beaches, now I'm not usually one to call b/s but whatever, its cool anyway irrelephant of where the sand came from.

So this was my first ever 'blog' event, and it was a biggun!! Very exciting, huge thank you to Bloggers Love for inviting me to their Fashion Week Pre-Party, there were loads of cute bits and I met some lovely bloggers. I did drag my friend Karmi with me, but she wouldn't let me put in any pictures of her so you may only feast your eyes on yours truly.

You'll have to excuse my 'grundgy' make up, after spending a full day at Notting Hill Carnival my face and hair were a little worse for wear due to our fantastic English "summer."

The clothes they were exhibited will be shown at their shows next week so I could only take a few snaps of them on the rail, but the nail bar and marshmallow (who knew you spelt it like that?!) cocktails were awesome. As some of you may know I start at Ravensbourne University tomorrow but hopefully if I am not too busy with uni stuff this next week I shall be able to attend the actual shows, and you know what that means......... It means that I will be back for more blogging!!!

 *cheers come from the crowds* 

Anyway.

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me so far

Looking forward to much more blogging!

Peace out ma lovelies

The beauty that I have discovered about working in fashion is that you can practically wear whatever you want, because at the end of the day if it your own personal style and its 'proper' then why shouldn't you wear it!? Black suits are for lawyers and funeral directors, I don't believe looking smart-ish means suits, and it definitely doesn't mean black only. Bring back colour mon amigos! Ye I know I wore 1 black out, but hey gimme a break, I was running out of clothes.
Anywho going off track, I had to shoot these all in one day hence why my hair doesn't change, and I also had had only a few hours sleep so I apologise for my face.

Anyway, it has been the best month and nothing has made me more determined to continue with my dreams to do fashion design. Hope you enjoyed this, let me know what you think in the comments; what your favourite outfit was and what kind of things you wear to work. (Mine was 3 but whatever you don't have to say that one)


Lots of love

Pattern Overdrive

Crotchet Crop Top - eBay

Bandeu - H&m

Trousers - TKMaxx

Earrings - Topshop

Scrunchie - Local Pharmacy ........................ no not DIY soz

Rings - Present from Kp and Camden Markets

Handmade Rucksack - Israeli Vintage Shop

So I hit 15,000 views today which is very exciting and all!!!!

Here's a little 'Ootd' to celebrate, bit of a summer outfit, or maybe a festival lookbook. These trousers are just beaut, although when I wore them out last week a guy came up to me and I quote "woah, really digging the whole pyjama vibe you've got going on, awesome".........................................they aren't pyjamas mate. Oh how I love a good backhanded compliment in the morning.

Anyway, not too much to say about this one, just love a bit of pattern clashing and it seems colour is the new black! yeah yeah 'Orange' too (orange skort ootd will follow) (see what I did there, now you have something to look forward to) (you're welcome lol) Crochet seems to be the look of this festival season, if anyone knows how to do it let me know because I would love to learn, yeah I tried teaching myself..... unsuccessful. This top is v versatile btw, can be worn both ways, as in back and front...not inside out. Obviously with a top/bikini/bandeu underneath or it would be a true 'free the nipple' ad. 

BUT HEY

Thank you so much if you've been reading and supporting this blog, means the world and please continuing reading!

*me rn*

HUGE LOVE AND HUGS TO ALL U BABES
