Burger King Royalty!!!

i love fast food just as much as the next unhealthy lifestyle living person soo when my friend suggested we go and have a little catch up lunch thing at burger king, i was like yaaaaaaaas!!! BUT the only mistake i did was ordering their bottomless drinks.... biggest mistake ever..... they taste vile, no wonder they are bottomless, they are probably trying to get rid of that stuff... anyway it was fun chilling with my gurrrl but i still prefer McD.... McDonald's fries are the answer and the truth!!!

My outfit for the day was all about comfort and simplicity so i just wore my pink turtleneck crop trop with this high waist "Manswear" shorts that we had to do at university as a project lol but i of course i had to wear them i'm not sexist against clothes lol!!!

Hair Update : Red Braids!!!

State of Hair Enlightenment!!!

50 Shades of Grey : Design Project

As most of you know im studying fashion design soo when we were given a brief to design and make a simple t shirt i was over the moon with excitement because finally i could design something that i could personally wear on like an everyday basis unlike the past garments that i have made and now i just stuck at the back of my closet somewhere... 

When i went fabric shopping i absolutely fell in love with this grey and white print fabric and even though it was not knit fabric i just wanted to buy it for my own personal DIY's but then i found this beautiful grey knit fabric and they just went so well together and that's how my creation came to life!!!

FKA Twigs - Two Weeks

As a person, in life you are bound to hear a song that will completely mess you up in the head and blow all expectations of what a "good song" is and being the music junkie that i am, i have had a couple of these moments fro, totally zoning out the Cavalier by James Vincent McMorrow for weeks on end, to using Retrograde by James Blake like some therapeutic remedy and now i have resorted to deleting every single song in my playlist just to make space for this one song which is FKA Twigs' latest single "Two Weeks".

Soo i was doing my usual FKA Twigs stalking when i found out on her instagram account that she had just released the video for her latest single titled "Two Weeks" and the video was directed by Nabil, who just so happens to have directed some of my all time favourite music videos including Overgrown by James Blake and all of this meant i basically already loved this song without even hearing or watching it yet.

Now i am watching the video and the beat drops with its hypnotizing melody and while im losing myself in it, the mystical vocal abilities that i have grown to know very well slowly absorb my ears and i am completely lost in the song and at the same time i am looking at this majestic Egyptian goddess who commands my attention and has my eyes glued to the screen, now all of my senses are trapped in this song, needless to say i was hooked.

After deleting every song in my f playlist and listening to "Two Weeks" on repeat, i am starting to listen to lyrics which portray the always  intriguing tale of forbidden love with lyrics like "i know it hurts, you know i'd quench that thirst" and  "pull out the insides and give me two weeks, you won't recognize her". I  have never rooted for the "other woman" this much ever and i doubt i ever will. Only FKA Twigs can pull out such foreign emotions from me.

FKA Twigs' vocal Olympics and high music production on this single make the wait for the full album "LP1" that is set to be released in august an unbearable one but until then i'll continue getting high off this track!!!

Date Night with the X-Men

Three words: BEST SATURDAY EVER!!! this rarely happens but this Saturday I did not lock myself inside my house and watch cartoon or read books which would have been awesome because I finally got the final book of the hush-hush which I have been waiting for, for more than a year now .

I placed "Finale" aside to go out and to watch a movie with my bro and sis, some well deserved family bonding time was needed. With the very busy and very separate live that we live, its nice to just hangout without any girlfriends/boyfriends (both do not apply to me...... which would probably explain the excessive book reading lol book characters are hotter anyway).

We headed off to the mall and when we got to the cinema and saw the movies they were playing. The choice was unanimous, actually there was noo choice, we HAD to watch X-Men: Days of Future Past. Like duh we have watched all the movies and I have personally read the comics soo it was just a no brainer and I kind of have a huge crush on Michael Fassbender who plays young Magneto a.k.a. the original bad boy.

Before the movie started we had some time on our hands soo my sister and I decided to grab a coffee and Mugg and Bean which brings me to the first awesome thing about this night. I would like to introduce to the new love of my life, this awesome hot chocolate with pretzel, chocolate and cream topping is definitely whats been missing in my life. My sister and I had a great long over due chat and I was able to give her my priceless advice… sometimes I really think I should have majored in psychology because i'm really good at giving advice even if I do say so so my self.

I wore my thrifted black lace shirt and an H&M printed skirt which I adore. I paired that up with my black stockings and boots and for once I tied my hair up because I wanted to show of my “GUN” hoop earrings lol yeah I have earrings with little dangling guns isn't that just bad ass. I love this outfit for a date or just hanging out with friends or family. it is comfy, fun and flirty.

Of course when it got a bit chilly I covered up with my brother’s big jacket. What are brother’s therefor if not to share their wardrobe with they’re sister who is obsessed with everything over-sized!!!

                                                Just me randomly stroking bae’s chin lol

The Chronicles of The Thrift Queen: Love at First Sight!!!

So I recently went thrift shopping for the first time with some of my friends… yes I popped my thrift shop cherry, I feel like a real thrift woman now lol hahaha okay enough of the weierdness. We decided to go to this second hand shop in this cute little old age home and it was like walking into a whole new planet... for me anyway, as my friends were regulars at this place. There was waaay more than just clothes, there was furniture, toys and books lol I felt I had just walked through some closet doors and had appeared on The Chronicles of Thristore royalty. I was quite shocked that I didn't bump into Macklemore some where in there with his huge fur coat which I would've loved to find but unfortunately did not BUT I did find some lovely picks which ill be rocking in my upcoming posts. J

1.      1.  Blake lace shirt with silk collar. OMG I absolutely like this shirt, its soo flirty and bad ass… and I will absolutely where it on my next post soo stay tuned.

2.       2. Blank and white printed tank top. I have no idea why I love this tank top so much it just spoke to me in some way lol at first I didn’t even know what the white silhouette was and honestly I didn’t really care, it just looks cool but my friend pointed out that it’s a crow…. How creepy and absolutely awesome!

3.       3. White shirt. How cute is this little shirt, it makes me feel like a little angel for real. Love it!!!

4.       4. Wide kneck white jumper. Yall know im obsessed with jumpers soo when I saw this I just knew I had to buy it. it it super toasty warm and I love the fact that it has little tiny gold strands weaved on it that shimmer in the light.

I would've bought more stuff if I had been more prepared for the world of thrift shopping but now that I am hooked, there will definitely be a lot more thrifties to come. The Chronicles of The Thrift Queen…. To be continued

Chic Ranger

First of all I totally take back what I said about winter in my previous posts well kind of, I still love winter but not seeing the sun for like a full week is kind of depressing me L. One thing that has not changed though is the fact that I love dressing up for this season. Who ever said winter was all about wearing pants and jeans was definitely not talking about me lol I don’t know why but I see myself pushing my pants to the back of the closet and gravitating towards skirts and dresses lately.

Today my outfit compiles of my all-time favourite mustard jumper paired up with my flowing camouflage maxi skirt which is just perfection. First of all it has this high low thing going on and it has pockets AND it is flipping camouflage like seriously I feel like Jane waiting for Tarzan in this thing lol and trust me that is a good thing or at least I think so, anyway I finished this look off with my new boots. I absolutely love these tan babies, they are amazing at keeping my feet super toasty and most importantly dry from the rain that has been pouring none stop down here. This is one of my all-time favourite looks because it is so unexpected like when I was wearing it this morning I was just like WHOA where did that come from lol hahaha yah I tend to surprise myself from time to time, I think it keeps things interesting.

Now I am starting to rely more on myself when it comes to style and not what I see around me and honestly I think that is what style is about. expressing your individuality through clothes and personally the more I trust the choices that I make when it comes to clothes, the more confident I’m becoming and that is flipping amazing don’t you think. Don’t be afraid to express yourself because life is too short to be expressing someone else’s style on your body lol I kind of put my own spin on the famous saying there… Even though I think my version sounds grosser, I also think it is more effective HAHA…
