FASHERCISE X JOGHA Pop Up Event in Schoreditch


A couple weekends ago I attended the FASHERCISE X JOGHA Q&A and Pop Up Shop at the Citizen M Hotel in Shoreditch.
If you know London then you will know that Shoreditch is trendy, with beautiful street art, delicious food (checkout Cottons Rhum Shack if you are in the area) and there is always something to do.

Fashercise is a new online platform for stylish active women, selling luxury sportswear from independent young designers from all around the world. The website also covers all things fashion, fitness, healthy eating, beauty and well-being, aimed at real girls, living real lives. The website is all about keeping fit, but having a blast and looking great doing so.

The Event was all about blogging, with a laid back, informative Q & A. At the end we had a chance to view and shop the new JOGHA Infinite collection. If you haven't heard about the brand before its a luxury sportswear brand designed for the modern fashion conscious woman who doesn't want to compromise on technical performance or style when it comes to their sports wardrobe.

The pieces are gorgeous, my fave was the reversible jacket, they are so versatile and can also be dressed up with skinny or boyfriend jeans and heels for that sports luxe vibe. I purchased this muscle tee which I'm yet to work out in because its so pretty and I cant imagine getting all sweaty in it. The material is just so soft and luxurious against the skin that I'm just going to have to wear it as a top. Maybe when it gets a little older I will start wearing it to the gym. Honestly the whole line is a refreshing change from the Adidas and Nike sportswear that's available.

I'm definitely going to pick up some more pieces especially the reversible jacket I just cant decide which one I'm torn between this pink/print and this burgundy/grey. I will keep you updated with which one I purchase.

ooooohhhh and there is a SALE at the moment, and who can resist a sale right.

The Last Minute Dress For Any Occassion


Sometimes an ocassion (wedding, christening, party) just pops up on you and you are left in a headless mode looking for something to wear, even sometimes with a wardrobe full of clothes just staring back at you. Boohoo is my one stop go to site for anything last minute, its super affordable and there is almost always an offer.

This Boohoo off the shoulder dress, is sultry, sexy and bold. Boohoo has really been ticking all the boxes when it comes trendy, sexy  clothing, and I have spent way too much money there over the last couple of weeks so expect to see some more Boohoo pieces.


The dress is available in Black, Mauve, Navy, Red, Rasberry and Cornflower.
The colour I'm wearing is Rasberry in a size 10.

The Look for Less: DSquared2 Rihanna Dupe


You know me by now guys I have eyes for designer shoes but my bank balance has other ideas. It amazes me how an item can look more attractive to us because it has a designers name attached. If the same shoe was in Primark (there is nothing wrong with Primark shoes, I have several) for £13 would we still find it attractive. I think not.

Rihanna is one of my style inspirations. Her style is fierce, flawless and edgy. She doesnt play by any fashion rules, whenever I see her wearing something I am always wondering If I can pull it off. I'm not just talking about fashion, remember that short cut (I almost cut my hair) and makeup looks too.

 Recently the Bajan Bombshell stepped out at the Dior SS17 show in Dsquared2 'RiRi' Heels (pink) click here to check them out. They are stunning. Pink satin with leather laces what more could a girl ask for. I havent been able to find a dupe yet in the pink but I will update this blog post as soon as I do.

I have found them in silver and they are stunning. The DSquared 'Riri' retail for £730.00. That is alot of money, so if like me, that price tag is way beyond your shoe budget I have managed to find dupes at Misguided for £35.00. 

DSquared2






Check out the Missguided heels here .They are almost a perfect dupe except for the DSquared Logo of course.

* I think these shoes should come with a bit of a disclaimer, they are not for the faint hearted and are      110mm. So they are perhaps more sit down/dinner shoes

.* Missguided always have a ton of voucher codes so you could get them for even less. So sign up to       the newsletter or keep any eye on their Twitter and Instagram for regular updates.

Thanks for Reading.x

The £13 Forever 21 Dress That Will Make You Feel Like A Queen



Have you ever found a dress that makes you feel like you are Beyonce, will this dress right here does that and more for me and guess how much it costs yes £13.00. That's right. I picked up this dress at Forever 21 last year and luckily its back again this autumn winter season. The wrap style dress is flattering, comfortable it hugs in all the right places and skims over all the bits you want smooth and covered. The quality of the material is surprising considering the price. 
Its a must have.

Style this dress with heels like I did, strappy gladiators or with trainers/sneakers and leather jacket for a more causal look.

Don't sleep on Forever 21 this season, I am really impressed with their Autumn Winter Collection.  But back to the dress, the Berry would look gorgeous on olive/dark skin with a matching berry lip. 

The dress is available in Taupe, Dark Green, Rust and Berry, 







    
     

                              

                                                   



Grab it whilst you can because this beauty will sell out.


 Happy Shopping.
