“All Noir Everything” Let’s talk Spring Style! I recently shared some affordable and trendy spring style inspiration on the blog. Adding to that, maxi dresses are another spring must have! Easy and convenient to wear and super cute, be sure to go for a style that flatters you and your body shape. I have been loving deep V tops lately and the loose flowy style of the bottom of this dress is perfect for people like me who want to be comfy and able to eat as much as they want to without fear of looking bloated afterwards. Maxi’s are also a great compromise if you’re not into wearing colour but still want to feel “Springy”. As far as outfits go, I love wearing neutrals above everything no matter the season. This day was no exception and I opted for a full black outfit with a pop of colour for added zest. In my opinion, the leather jacket toughens up the whole outfit, adding an element of edge which I love. Share with me your thoughts on wearing all black as a Spring day time outfit. Until next time :). Stay Chic, S. DRESS – MISSGUIDED (SIMILAR HERE) / JACKET– MISS SELFRIDGE SUNGLASSES – SUNGLASS SPOT /SANDALS – MISSGUIDED (SIMILAR HERE)
“Wake each day excited to bloom in a new way.” Over the weekend, I submitted my final class assignment for my Masters programme. With just a dissertation to go, I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown! I took some much needed time over the past few days to enjoy the rare lovely weather and relax and celebrate with friends. Spring is certainly in full bloom and I am loving the vibrancy of the beautiful flowers. Even more exciting, I was able to get the legs out yesterday, in this cute striped bodycon dress, for the first time in eight months! I paired the dress with this trendy light spring bomber I picked up from Primark recently. I added some pops of bright color with my lippie and boots. Like the flowers of spring, I have been thinking a lot lately about what it means to bloom/flourish/thrive as a person. I have been engaged in some serious reflection about my dreams, goals, relationships and what I want and hope for my future. From my reflections, I have three key takeaways I would like to share with you guys: 1.) Comparison truly is the thief of joy. As human beings, we often find ourselves judging our progress, in terms of where we think we should be in life, compared to others around us. I am turning 27 in a few weeks and many people my age are married or have…
We’re half way through April which means winter is officially over! That also means that it’s time to update our wardrobes with all our spring and summer essentials like denim shorts, cute dresses and sunglasses. The dilemma however is always how to look trendy and flawless without breaking the bank. I’ve included for you here a list of ten spring/summer essentials I was lucky enough to snag for under £10 and many of them are still available for you to snag too! Let me know which is your favourite 🙂
Time really does fly when you’re having fun. The final day of my holiday was spent appreciating the stunning views of Barcelona from a Sky Tram, Monjuic mountain and Park Guell. I actually hate heights, but I try to never let my fears stop me from having great experiences. It was great to leave the city side behind for a bit and just explore the natural side of Barcelona. There was lots of walking involved, hiking up and down mountain terrains but it was definitely a lot of fun and the amazing views were worth it! All in all, it was an awesome trip and I look forward to more adventures to come. Until next time :). Stay Chic, S.

You cannot visit Barcelona without viewing firsthand the amazing historical site that is La Sagrada Familia. This massive Roman Catholic Church designed by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí is certainly….unique. The inside of the church is quite beautiful but it is the stunning architecture of this monument that is really worth seeing in my opinion. Hence, unless you’re quite religious or a history buff, I would save money on the 15/18 Euro general admission and just appreciate the wonder that is La Sagrada Familia from the outside. Be sure to subscribe to the blog so you won’t miss out on my upcoming travel blog where I highlight my favourite things about Barcelona. Until next time :). Stay Chic, S.
