I love visiting London whether it's during Summer or our so-called Spring! This was my first trip I planned by myself and learnt how to use the tube stations despite my little mishap in attempting to locate Oxford Street, it's safe to say we got there in the end! Cake for breakfast is always a good option and if you like pink then Peggy Porschen is the place to visit. Museums are always a classic, whether you're there for a few Instagram photo opportunities or there to actually obtain new knowledge about all kind of things from dinosaurs to crystals. Window shopping another must in London especially with department stores, if anything it's an opportunity to adore the interiors of major designers like Gucci and YSL with their marble walls and vivid display cabinets ... oh and their bags too of course! I'm always up for a good burger and so Burgeri seemed like a sensible choice a) it was halal, b) it was on Oxford Street making it convenient and c) burgers. Oh I also bought a box of Ben's cookies and boy they were good!
March is a little bit of an awkward month for me, it always has been. It's no longer the start of the new year but it's also not quite Spring yet and it's part of the few transitional months before exam stress kicks in. The first week of March was spent questioning the weather and to be specific, questioning the copious amount of snow we were hit with. In terms of productivity my biggest accomplishment of this month was finally finishing off Gossip Girl, oh an my sponsored post with Quiz clothing! I'm sharing a few of my favourites for this month and the latter half of February.
+ Gold Hoops - Claire's
These have been in my ears ever since I picked them up, they're so elegant. When it comes to jewellery it is all-gold for me, it looks so much more classier but can also be incredibly hard to find especially when majority of the hoops sold in high street stores are silver. These are nice and small, they're incredibly lightweight and look great paired with more hoops.
Ever since trying this more than a year ago and noticing a difference in my skin, I finally caved and picked it up from Boots when buying my lunch. How convenient? I have used this consistently since, however I will only apply it in areas that are blemish prone and require a little extra help as it can dry out your skin.
+ White fluffy Jumper - Zara
While this might have been an impulse buy, you can never own too many white jumpers! Jumpers & trousers are my go-to when it comes to dressing myself, it's a cosy option but also one I feel good in. This has a neck I would otherwise despise but the white swirly fur swayed me, I love experimenting with new textures.
Honestly speaking, I did not think I would wear these boots as much as I have simply because they can be a little dressy for everyday. I love styling them with an all-black outfit because of the contrast of the different textures. Considering I have worn them in the rain multiple times they have help up surprisingly well, not that I am complaining.
+ Black crossbody bag
I go through phases with makeup, fashion and accessories and it's safe to say that I am obsessing over this bag again. I bought this strap from H&M and it's completely revamped the entire bag. I adore the chain detailing which is braided into the leather strap.
This upcoming SS18 is going to be all about the colour, the bright, the bold and the brilliant! Whether it be a pop of colour with a statement bag or a monochrome outfit featuring 1 colour, I can't wait to show you some of my picks from Gamiss for this Summer.
I adore the size of this bag, it may be small but is still rather practical. The colour is what sold it to me, it's a bright red with orange undertones. I'd pair this with a classic pair of blue 'mom' jeans & a white jumper or shirt.
Stripes are a classic when it comes to Spring, the thick stripes really contrast against the white. This is not your average chunky knit sweater, it's a lot thinner making it perfect for warmer days.
How cool are these? Aside from shading you from the sun, they're great to cover up those no-makeup days and for running errands. I love how big these are and I love anything leopard print when its done right!
Jumpers are a staple when it comes to dressing in the UK, even when it seems to get a little warmer, I mean it's still snowing and we're almost in March. The sleeves add that little something to your standard cream jumper.
Black boots are my go-to when I'm not wearing trainers, I love the little gold rivets around the rim of the shoe, they make them that little bit more special.
Quiz clothing, a company that is relatively new to me but intrigues me with their sense of styling & fashion. I've popped into my local Quiz store and I have to say their clothes are gorgeous, especially their dresses. While they are known for their occasion wear like their going out dresses, their casual pieces are a must for the everyday girl. I'm going to share some of my favourite picks from their website.
Embroidery has not lost its shine and is here to stay for another season. I love a classic striped shirt but this one has a little more detail with the flowers and can look great dressed up or down and is perfect for the warmer months.
These heels are a staple when it comes to shoes especially for going out, the block heel makes it more comfortable but also more stable. I love the fact that they're white, you can wear an all-black outfit and switch it up by wearing contrasting heels.
Tassel earrings have been all the rage! I love them they're so trendy with high street stores selling them in every possible style & shade. I adore the pink colour of these, they're a little more subtle as the tassel is a little slimmer than your usual one, nonetheless they are great for adding a little something to a casual outfit.
This is the epitome of millennial pink and I am living for this bag. It's the perfect combination of pink, velvet & crystals, 3 things I absolutely adore. This clutch is great for any outfit, it's small but is sure to make a statement.
You guys know how obsessed I am with trousers, whether it's a classic black pair or a more fun pair they're just so comfy but so put-together. I really like colour of these, they're a little different as they are warmer shade of nude. Palazzo trousers are everywhere and are a great alternative to a dress when it comes to going out.
A quick little outfit post! I have worn this outfit multiple times, each time a little different to the last. Here's the breakdown:
+ Cream Borg Coat - Rosegal
+ Dreams of dreams jumper - H&M
+ Black jeans - H&M
+ Suede Thigh High boots - Asos
+ Green quilted Crossbody - Zaful
This marks 3 years of me creating my blog, marking a huge milestone for me and I am immensely proud of myself for keeping my blog alive and breathing. 24,000 views and here I am writing my perennial reflection of 2017. Admittedly this year has been a challenge but one that I would happily take again because of the endless opportunities for growth.
+ January
This month I posted my first ever AD with AisleStyle and surprisingly it was my only monetized post of the year. I also started the year off with a review which you guys know I have done countless posts dedicated to my opinion on brands, products and clothing. I have the funniest memories from a trip to our local museum with my friends and bought a beautiful gold falcon ring as a little commemoration.
+ February
I posted my 'beauty obsessions' which went down a storm with over 300+ views on that post alone. This year I really found a photography style that suits me and my blog perfectly and I could not be happier with the quality and the content of my photos. Another outfit post in my distressed boyfriend jeans, I think so, there was a time where the majority of my outfits revolved around these jeans and now that I think about it I barely wear them now.
+ March
After much deliberation I ventured out of my strictly 'fashion & beauty' blog and posted something different, a recipe on vanilla icing. I have been able to share some of my best moments on this blog whether it's beauty related or not. I had 'pinch me' moment when W7 re-posted my photo from my monthly favourites.
+ April
This was a huge month for me, I had the chance to work with Nip & Fab on their new makeup launch and it was a dream come true. The photos showcased the hard work I had put into writing the post and reviewing the products. There was a collaboration with Rosegal too which was new to me and I could not be happier with the connections I have made with them.
+ May
Another collaboration with a huge brand as if this year could not get any better! Reviews have become second nature to me, I love doing them and sharing my honest opinions with you. Transparency is key when it comes to blogging, working with brands is amazing but honesty is paramount especially when it comes to promoting products. There was Rosegal too and I was lucky enough to pick a few things from their website.
+ June
The month of exams, A level exams to be precise. Probably the most stressful month of last year but I am so glad college is over and done with. It was also Ramadhan which means Eid which means dressing up and eating copious amounts of food.
+ July
We went on holiday to Malaga which was breathtakingly beautiful and I can't wait to go back someday. The weather was incredible and our views were unbelievable, I did a whole post on Malaga with over 30+ photos. I did a whole series of travel related posts and I loved each and every one. I worked with Zaful on a post and that was great.
+ August
My 18th birthday, this was such a memorable day, a day I will never forget surrounded by my closest family and my bestest friend. I did another recipe post on my favourite double chocolate chip cookies. It was also the long-awaited results day for A levels, I got A*AB in Sociology, Psychology and English Language which meant that I got into University for Law. This was the month I got my first ever job and that was a whirlwind of happiness, enthusiasm & another opportunity for growth.
+ September
My collaborations with Zaful and Rosegal continued and I created more posts on their new pieces and trends. This was the month leading up to starting University as well as working. I also did an updated makeup routine, this year I have really tried to use all of my makeup. Sure it's nice having lots of makeup but it's a lot nicer when you actually use majority of the products you own.
+ October
I finally started University and met some amazing friends along the way. I had the chance to select a few more pieces from Rosegal like this white teddy coat I have worn on multiple occasions along with my infamous black trousers with the red stripe down them. I collaborated with another fashion brand Gamiss and I have more posts planned with them so keep reading!
+ November
I visited London after what felt like ages, while it was an educational trip we managed to squeeze a handful of minutes in Covent Garden which is so magical during Christmas time. I also bought a bright red fur coat which 1 year ago would not have happened. I definitely developed my taste in fashion this year, I started wearing a lot more colour and just things in general which were out of my comfort zone.
+ December
This year ended on a great note for me personally and for my blog. I'm pretty sure I took the best photos ever to be posted on my blog in my 'beauty favourites'. I hope 2018 is just as great as 2017 was. As you grow older the years go by faster and being able to reflect on my journey not only as a blogger but as a person on this amazing platform is a blessing.
Now I do not shy away from posting reviews on my blog, I love being able to share things with you guys whether it is fashion or beauty. I've got a little haul as well as a review on Gamiss, an online website that sell some really cute stuff that I'm sure you will like.
This is definitely a dupe for the Chloe 'pixie' bag but for a fraction of the price and in a wide range of colours too. I don't know why I went for the blue colour since it is out of my comfort zone but I have loved styling it with monochrome outfits. It may look small but it sure can hold a lot, I'm talking phone, mirror, lipstick, wallet etc.
I adore the colour of this jumper it is the perfect shade of brown and the white chevron stripes really add a little something. Also this is one of the softest jumpers I own, it feels so nice to wear and you can wear it with basically everything jeans, trousers or even a skirt.
How fun are these? Unlike your classic gold this is more on the bronze side but I really like that. The fan shape make the earrings look more expensive than they are and the droplet shaped diamonds are so beautiful. They are lightweight and incredibly comfortable to wear.
I thought the shape of this bag was minimal and it's nothing like I own, not that I need another bag. Again the hardware on this bag is more on the bronze side which makes it a little different. The design of this bag is super sleek and paired back and I love the pop of burgundy and tan on the sides and the handle.
Clearly I am not over the fishnet trend and I don't think I will be for quite a while. Fishnets are great for layering and adding a little texture to your outfit without killing the whole vibe. These are a thicker fishnet and so they won't rip unlike the thinner ones and they wash really well too.
Also check out their 'Valentines sale dresses' they have some really cute ones for every style and colour!

If there is one item of jewellery I am constantly wearing or I will always reach for (aside from my rings, of course) or if I want to make a little more of an effort then it is always 'earrings'. You can find them in all different shapes, sizes, patterns and colours. I definitely have a well curated earring collection if I may say so myself. I thought I would share with you guys a few of my absolute favourites, I can assure you there's a pair for each occasion and time of the day!
+ Crystal knot earrings
These are so different, there's a cluster of crystals at the top followed by a thick black knot at the bottom. They are super lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear.
+ Gold flower & crystal hoops
These are so beautiful, there's a liner of flowers on the inside finished off with a row of crystals on the outside.
+ Circle crystal drop earrings
These are my go-to, if I am struggling to pick a pair I reach for these, they're so classic. They can be a little heavy if you are wearing them for a long period of time but they're so pretty it's worth it.
+ Square crystal earrings
I feel like these look so elegant and princess like, I think it's because of the shape of the crystals. If you want to dress up an outfit without trying too hard then these are for you, they're not as big & loud as the other pairs.
+ Crystal cluster earrings
These are just on another level of gorgeous-ness, they can be incredibly heavy but they look so good especially if you have other little piercings.
