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 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.

The Bargain Chanel Dupes Every Girl Needs Now

Chanel is a brand that is way out of my price range, Yes I would love a Chanel Boy bag but I think I would rather take a luxurious holiday or two, however if anybody would like to give me one, any colour, I am more than willing to accept, but I digress.

Chanel is such a classic luxurious brand, that the classics actually go up in value and has huge resale profits.

I have seen a huge amount of fashion bloggers and social influencers wearing Chanel slingbacks for the past two seasons and whilst they are not quite my usual style, as they have a granny-esque chic vibe, they look so elegant and classic.

I love seeing them styled with a crisp clean white shirt and skinny jeans with distressed hems. I also think they would look great if you worked in a corporate role, styled with slim leg trousers, polo necks, pencil, wrap or A-line dresses and a Burberry-esque trench coat. A leather jacket, t-shirt and rolled up boyfriend jeans for a more relaxed and casual vibe.These shoes are so versatile, I'm debating purchasing them because they look so classic and not to mention comfortable, as I'm getting older I want to purchase more timeless pieces which I know will carry me through from season to season. If that's what your looking for this could be the shoe for you.

The original Chanel slingbacks retail for around £615.00 and are currently sold out everywhere. Luckily there are a ton of dupes around at a fraction of the price, so happy Shopping, check out the links below.

The look for less: Yeezy Season 2 Block Heel Knee High Boots (Dupe)

When Kim Kardashian stepped out in these boots the fashionistas around the world went a little crazy. I don't know about you. but I'm not a big fan of Yeezys clothing line Season 1 or 2. However there are some footwear in the collections which I would wear if I had a Kim K type budget. I already put you guys onto the Lucite dupes (check them out here).These boots are everything a girl could ask for as transitional piece from summer to autumn, open heel, open toe and over the knee, what more could a girl ask for.

They are available here to purchase for £785.

Check out the real things below on Mrs West.





            The Dupes:

They are so close in style its crazy, they are more than a dupe, more like an exact copy. Kanye wont be pleased.

The amazing dupes are available from EGO, they are called the RIVEA and are available in three colours: black, khaki and beige. The most amazing thing is they are only £44.99. Yeah I know, less than £50.00. Ego always have a ton of voucher codes, so you could get them for even less follow them on Instagram here to keep updated.

These boots are available to purchase here.

Asos Cape Playsuit

When your 10 pounds lighter thanks to the Green Smoothie Detox (post coming soon) and you feel like you can wear anything and feel amazing in it.

This caped playsuit was sitting in my wardrobe for a while but it was too tight, finally I saw a glimpse of summer and was so excited to put this baby on.

Something about this peach colour is so lovely in the sunshine and against brown skin, check out Patricia Bright and Jennifer Hudson wearing similar colours here and here.

The cape features a open slit back with large cape sleeve and high waisted style shorts.

Head over Heels - River Island Edition

River Island is my favourite high street store to buy heels, they never disappoint and this SS16 season is no exception. The intricate details, the colours, prints and textures are simply beautiful. The fit for me is always true to size and as comfortable as high heels could ever be. 

So take a look at the heels that will probably wind up in my shoedrobe before the end of season:

Currently on sale for £25....I think im going to get these, do I need them no, but do I want them yes.

Which heels are your favourite?

The Pinstripe Playsuit

Hi Girls,

Would you believe me if I said this playsuit was only £5.00 yep that's right. I have been shopping alot more in random stores for clothing, just so I can add some key pieces to my wardrobe that's a little different to whats available on the highstreet.

Playsuits can be fun to wear to parties, BBQ's, date nights, night out with the girls and they can be dressed down with a denim or bomber jacket and sandals or dressed up with heels and a clutch bag. There are a ton of playsuits on ASOS, Missguided and Boohoo so hopefully there's something to match your personal style.

I know playsuits/jumpsuits can be so annoying, I mean nobody likes to be half naked in a public bathroom right....but hey they look good so its the price we have to pay for fashion.

Hope you enjoy
