I have always found it difficult to find modest outfits for the summer as I am an extremely hot person. I cant stand layers of clothes and material very close to my skin. So when maxis and now midis came back in fashion, my prayers were answered. My collection of midi-skirts is growing steadily and I literally wear them everywhere, to church, going out, to work...name the place. The length makes it versatile and here I have styled this gorgeous H&M skirt in a 3 simple ways. Enjoy!
Heading to the office :)
Turqouise blouse- Papaya
Grey blazer- H & M
Bag- Spitafields Market
Shoes- New Look
Springtime date
Top- is actually a strapless body con dress worn as a top :)

1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
My favourite place in the world is Malaysia....ahhhh I dream of that place. I have so many memories in that country, I'm going for the 13th time this year <3. The climate is gorgeous, my family are all out there. It's just life. It's the place to live :)
2. Who inspires you the most?
When I'm asked this question, I struggle to think of the answer. I'm inspired by things and people around me but my main inspiration comes from God. If anyone can motivate me to get up n do something, its Him. All my ideas technically come from God anyway so I must give credit where its due lol.
3. Favourite historical figure?
Jesus Christ. Top 1.
4. What is the biggest life lesson you have learnt to date?
Its kinda hard to think of an answer to this question. Life has taught me too much. A big lesson that I have learnt is that sometimes you just cant change a situation or a person, you have to change yourself. Think of what you can change, be it your perception, your outlook, your response and it turn that will change things. For the better.
5. What is your current favourite youtube video?
Omg I recently discovered Brian Mcknight's sons, BJ and Niko. They make their own songs and they are also part of the group BRKN RBTZ. But my FAVE song right now, mainly cos Niko rippps in the middle is this. I can find my favourite live performance but this still kills.
6. What is the most expensive thing you have bought for yourself?
I dont really buy myself expensive things tbh! Probably driving lessons. Who knows how much I've spent on them over the years! *smh*
7. What makes you happy (superficial happy like a new pair of shoes – don’t write an essay!)?
Summertiiimmme <3
8. What is the best beauty tip someone has ever given you?
No matter how much you're wearing, alwaystake off your makeup before you go to bed.
9. What is your cant-live-without lip balm?
It used to be a toss between Vaseline and strawberry flavoured body shop balm. Now I don't really use either. I just grab whatevers in my bag to be totally honest. In the bag right now are a Barry M gloss, a clear H & M lip gloss and Nivea SOS balm (that one was for winter lol).
10. If you could name a beauty product, what would you call it, what product would it be and why did you choose that product?
A beauty product....hmmm... I love products that smell sweet or creamy and feel soft so it would probably be a small pot of sweet smelling powder that you could carry around with you to use when feeling clammy etc. And I would name it, Sweet puff <3 lol. Put me on Apprentice ;)
11. What do you aim to acheive with your blog?
I've just started the blog really and its full of randomness right now but eventually I hope that anyone reading it will be encouraged or maybe inspired by what they see. Yeah, the aim is definitely for a positive impact. :)
My 11 questions for those I tag are....
1. What would be your ideal job?
2. Whose style do you admire and why?
3. If you had to live on a desert island and you could only take 3 things, what would they be?
4. What is your favourite blog and why?
5. If you could spend an hour with one person, dead or alive, who would it be?
6. Whats the most embarassing thing you've done?
7. Name your 3 top clothing stores.

9. What is your favourite year or age and why?

I have been through months of wedding planning, I thought its only right that I share some of my findings. Some of the most creative and beautiful centrepieces, decorations, themes, flower arrangements, dresses, hairstyles....the list really does go on. But here a few of my favourite images from various sites.

The weekend was great! Jasons Aunty kindly gave us some tickets for the Mahogany Bridal Fair in Russell Square.

best! Here's a few snaps:
