Liebster Award...

Hey Loves,

So the lovely Olivia (Thanks again sweets) over at http://www.livvyy.blogspot.co.uk/ nominated me for a Liebster Award so here's my answers and at the end I'll tag some lovely fellow Blogger dolls to join in on the fun!

So, what are the Liebster awards...

To put it simply its a way of getting to know other bloggers and to gain recognition within the blogging community.
You answer the 11 questions via the person whom nominated you and then set 11 other bloggers questions you'd like them to answer :)

The official rules are as follows;

1.You must link back to the person who nominated you
2. You must answer the 11 questions that the person who nominated you asked.
3. Pick 11 other bloggers to answer your questions.
4. Create 11 new questions for them to answer
and finally...
5. Go to their blogs and notify them they have been nominated!

Simples.
LOL.

So here were the questions I was asked and my answers.

1.  What do you spend most of your money on? Clothes, shoes, accessories or food?
Most of my money goes on accessories followed closely by shoes. I love the fact that I don't have to try anything on, I know by holding up whatever jewellery piece has caught my eye that it will fit and I don't have to endure the lengthy task of entering the changing room! lol. That truly is a task and a half!

2. Summer Fashion or Winter? and why
I'd say AW for sure. I love rocking leather, faux fur and able to layer without boiling to death. LOL.

3. Fave place in the world and why?
"I LOVE NEW YORK" (said in a JayZ voice). What's there not to love about the big apple. I've been several times. I love the food, I love the malls. I especially love Queens in particular. Manhattens alright but I love grabbing a bargain!

4. What decade do you like? 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s or 90s?
This is a tricky one. But being born in the 80s and growing in the 90s, I'd say the 50s. The war would have just ended and I'd love to experience the changes in culture I've read about. I'd then get to experience the 60s, a time when my Nan came to London and obviously get to rock the fashion.

5. Fave designer?
Vivienne Westwood for her quirkiness.

6. Fave Brand?
Makeup - MAC and Sleek
Fashion - H&M and Zara

7. If you could interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be? (doesn't have to be fashion /beauty related)
Michael Jackson. My music idol. Grew up listening to him and being able to meet him face to face. Epic would be an understatement.

8. What fashion week do you prefer? LDN/MILAN/NY/PARIS
LDN - the best city ever!

9. If you had the opportunity to have either an unlimited number of bags or shoes which would you have?
Shoes. No brainer! lol

10. Do you remember an outfit that you used to love as a child - describe it...
My fave outfit from my childhood would be my NY baseball shirt and matching shorts with my LA Gear light up trainers! Owww! lol.

and last but not least...

11. What was the last exhibition you saw?
I love museums, and the last one I went too was the Geffrye Museum in Hackney.
Loved looking at the decor of homes throughout the decades.

I TAG!

2.  Which Celeb's style do you love and whose do you hate?
3.   What's your fave lippie?
4.   What's your fave perfume?
5.   What's your fave High St store and fave designer?
6.   What made you start blogging and what's the story behind your blog name?
7.   What fashion items/trends are you most looking forward to rocking this AW?
8.   What are, if any, goals you hope to achieve for 2014?
9.   Favourite blogger?
10. An outfit/trend you now question as to why you ever wore it, what was it?
11. Which celeb would you love to be for a day based on their style?

Can't wait to read your answers ladies! xxx

Makeup haul, IMATS and some familiar YouTube ladies...

Attended IMATS with the gorge Nji and what a day it was.
Although it was a very long day, I'm glad we went. The bargains were great and it was nice meeting YTs that you watch online and actually interacting face to face.

Everyone was lovely and I'm defo looking forward to going back next year - but this time I'll be armed with a deck chair. loooool.

Enjoy the snaps and check out the vid below.

An epic Selfridges meetup with Patricia (aka BritPopPrincess/Patricia Bright)

So I'm more than sure that most of you will already know of the gorgeous Patricia (aka BritPopPrincess/Patricia Bright) already. I attended Patricia's Selfridges meetup and boy was it interesting.

I can only imagine how overwhelmed Patricia must have felt because the turnout was amazing!

(Congrats again Pat).

On the day I also met the beautiful and talented Chanel Boateng (you better check out this ladies talents - AMAZING).

After the meetup I had the pleasure of having dinner with Patricia and just as she is on her vids, Patricia's so down to earth, humble and a doll to be around.

Be sure to check out my vid below and see a lil of how the day went.

Hey Loves,

Just wanted to share with you all my latest video where I attended the gorgeous Patricia Bright's - previously known as BritPopPrincess' Meetup!

The turnout was EPIC!

So happy with how it all went and I can honestly say that what you see with Patricia on screen is what you get in real life.

After the meetup we had a meal and I can honestly say I had a blast. *thank you again hun if you're reading this*

On Saturday I also attended IMATS with Nji, whom also does YT and we had too much fun.
It felt weird bumping into people that you "know" from watching them but that may not have a clue as to who you are. lol.

All the ladies I met were lovely! So down to Earth, humble n funny. I don't have to tell you they were looking too pretty - you can see that for yourself!lol.

Anywho, Hope you enjoy watching my footage and I'll see you on my next vid!

Thanks guys x

The beginning of the end - relaxed to natural hair journey

Hey loves,

So after 15 years of my creamy crack addiction, I've decided to see whether I wanna battle the relaxed to natural hair. My original hair is soft and was a light brown with blonde baby hairs (so random lol), but I begged to have it relaxed and permanently straight when I was younger and my Mum let me.

However, now older and wiser, I don't really want to use chemicals on my hair anymore, and feel that I want to embrace my hairs natural form.

I know it will be a emotional journey, I always say I am not my hair, but if we are honest the media doesn't exactly praise and promote afro hair.

Having watched a few vids on YT I have managed to locate Palmers Olive Oil - Sulfate and Paraben free hair shampoo - cannot wait to try it.

The pic below you can see my natural waves coming through as I haven't relaxed in a hot min.

So - watch this space - and lets see how this journey goes.

Will I ever go back to the creamy crack?

Matchy Matchy nails and lips!

Hey dolls,

SO - Have been going a bit mad recently in the beauty hauling department.

I fell in love with the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine polishes when I purchased "Guava" - and had to get more.

Prickly Pear has to be my ultimate fave from the range so far. (5 and counting!lol)

Then on another trip, I came across Revlon's "Pink Pout" - and fell in loveee!

It's so divine.

When my OH took me away to Birmingham we took a surprise trip to MAC, and he pointed out a lippy he thought I'd like. I wasn't too sure - but it was so lush! By the time I decided I wanted it the tills had closed :( 

But ever since then, I've been in love with colours similar ever since. I will defo be going back to MAC to get the colour I tried though. lol.
