It's all gone grey

Outfit idea was inspired by the wonderful and stylish Miroslava Duma, I've always liked that look of her when she was wearing this over size grey jumper with a sleek pony tail. So here you go, a more dressed down version of that outfit.

I really like grey, it's subtle and cool. Perfect for fall. This dress that I got is the most comfortable dress I've got for sure. The boxy shape of it is just perfect for a day when you want to look relaxed but still dressed up, and this coat is definitely one of my winter favourite! I just love anything with a dropped shoulder line, it makes all look more effortless.

This outfit is actually really comfy and I was going to the Lady Gaga's concert that day, so it's concert and long hour standing proof. Lady Gaga was just so amazing, I couldn't stop listening to her songs after the concert!

Oh...SNAP!

I was out in Shoreditch with a few friends during the weekend, it's always interesting looking at the street art around the area, there's always something new in Shoreditch! Impossible to ever get bored of it! I know that most people don't admit that they are hipsters, so if you are one at heart and like underrated cool bar to chill, Life Bar in Old street would be perfect for you. The cocktails were a.ma.zing!

I guess if you know Shoreditch, you would already know that I was a bit too dressed up...! I'm the kind of person that gets more excited choosing the outfit then actually going to the party, so why waste a good day to be completely overdressed right?!

the first pic's a bit blurry but I just love the street art too much not to post it!

Jeetinder Sandhu's fashion event at the Mason House London

Last night at my good friend Jeetinder's fashion event.

He does menswear, a lot of indian inspired prints and colour. J is definitely one of the most ambitious and career driven person that I know of. His collections are always fun, offering London a bit of the Bollywood glamour!

Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops

After a busy day at LCS, me and some friends decided to chill and dine in Bluebird. Is it just me or everytime that I go there I think of Made in Chelsea?!

Ok so a little confession about my outfit, truth is I have an abuse problem with this jacket... I just couldn't stop stroking the furry collar! It is just too soft!

You are here - Coffin On Cake

We were lucky enough to be able to have a guided tour in the PR office of Coffin On Cake!

The interior of the office was so trendy and it blends perfectly with the location (Shoreditch).

And thank you LCS for organising it!

Take my lightning but don't steal my thunder

Walking down Covent Garden today to see the installation "Take my lightning but don't steal my thunder" by Alex Chinneck. It was such a perfect lazy sunday, just walking around enjoying the weather and the atmosphere around the area.

70s themed styling - backstage

Our first editorial photoshoot with the London College of Style! The theme was 70s inspired.

My inspiration for this 70s shoot was based on the stylish Jane Birkin and a mix of the quirkiness of Annie Hall.

It was such and amazing experience and it was so much fun to style the model Becky Dejong.

Can not wait to see the final editorials!

Brunch at Cocomaya

Cutest coffee shop around Sloane Square.

The teacups and plates are all beautiful with different prints. The food itself was just as good as this cute little place looked.

This place was right next to Cocomaya, they sell a lot of vintage looking jewellery, the interior of this place looked a bit over crowded but I think that's its charm, it reminded me of the book by Cecilia Ahern "A Place Called Here", it's almost like going into a place where forgotten things go.

Manish Arora ss'15

That's such a fun collection by Manish Arora, a little humour in fashion is always refreshing.

Though there's a lot going on with the colours and prints, it still looks in harmony with each look.

Loving all the prints from the collection, and the flower ornaments creates a different dimension for the print. It is such a wacky collection, it reminded me somehow of Miley Cyrus x street style in Shoreditch!

Balenciaga SS'15

In love with the Balenciaga spring summer 2015 ready-to-wear!

The details and embellishments of all the garments are just absolutely well made!

The sportswear references plus the feminine silhouette and embellishments just made this collection that much more interesting in my opinion.

SECOND FLOOR: THE PRIVATE APARTMENT OF MADEMOISELLE CHANEL

Exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery

Photography by Sam Taylor-Johnson

Through out the exhibition you could feel a sense of intimacy, a very personal touch in the way he photographed, is almost like walking around the apartment yourself through the eyes of Coco Chanel, you could feel the atmosphere and the inspiration running through the entire apartment.

just a quick pic with my classmates after the exhibition

Outfit of the day - little school boy

Just another street casual outfit, wearing this Cos pin stripe jumper from the men's section, to feminise it a bit more I paired it with a scalloped white collar and a little pastel mint bag.

Cosmopolitan Fashion Show and Cosmo Fashion Awards 2014

The event was set in the beautiful Battersea Park. I couldn't get over the fact that the sealing was full of fairy lights, the atmosphere of the party was just brilliant and of course cosmo (the cocktail) was served through out the Cosmo event.
