Pimms, Pizzas and Pop Vinyls!

I absolutely love summers in London especially when it's a good one like this year's! Most evenings the Sun retires with the most gorgeously rendered sky after a hard 17 hour shift. I went out last night with my boys channelling my California Girl and simply could not believe the heat behind that sun still at 7pm! 

My recent post was about Mad Max & feminism; all the funnier when Chris Pratt aka Starlord talks about how he feels objectified too filming Jurassic World - haha I love it!

5 July 2015>> So, I finally caught Jurassic World this week, now I don't have that nostalgic relationship to the original Jurassic Park like most people my generation would as my mother had always banned us from the movie, deeming it too scary for us to watch. In fact I only watched the whole movie properly a year or two ago!

First things first, Chris Pratt was surprisingly HOT as the compassionate Owen. I watch New Girl so to see 'Nick Miller' (Jake M. Johnson) brought a sense of realism, which I think was what his role was for; just a guy at his desk. The older nephew of the heroin is suspiciously good looking; much like a Beckham child (Brooklyn to be specific).

The plot has a very similar skeleton to the original, but I enjoyed the sequel a whole lot more and found myself thoroughly gripped and entertained until the end. The conflict of interests and morals were poetically debated, much like the contrasting roles Owen & Claire were put in the Park to do, later diffusing into mutual admiration. Aww. 

All in all, I'd give it a solid 9/10!

The Boss of Me

Isn't this just the cutest outfit ever? I was invited to attend TG last weekend and this was my outfit for it - do we adore? It's my first latex outfit ever and I must say I simply love every part of it! The level of liberation was intimidating at first but eye opening and frankly exhilarating soon after! It was an experience I'll never forget and I'm going again next month hah!

I feel like the pieces that make this outfit is so fun that it could be taken apart for every-day mix and match. After all, wetlooks, PVC, and leather fashion are already so widely in mainstream. The glossy look and texture of latex is simply irreplaceable!

Dinner Date

Sorry I indulged a bit in the hair-fixing shots, they rest were just not as nice for a change! The idea of this printed dress from H&M Divided is quite clever, panelling the sides for a dramatic slimming effect. It has a zip down down the chest in the front which looked really good until I put it on and found it confusing instead. When completely unzipped it is completely below the base of the bra line - not ok. At halfway, looks neither here or there. So I just zipped it all the way but optically it wasn't the most flattering on the chest shape. Anyway, it was very comfortable and I have already seen it on the streets worn by other people! Are you one of them? Where do you leave the zip at?

#BirthdayBlues

I have been quite expressive on Twitter of not wanting another birthday, not wanting to get yet another year older. The dreading was actually worse than anything else, whilst I have never been big on birthdays this year it took a whole new definition. It is official that behind any birthday celebrations the true reason is to take the edge off. The bf did a fabulous job - much more than just taking the edge of and completely made my day. I'll get onto that in tomorrow's post, although those of you who are with me on Instagram would know what I was up to! ;)

For now, I thought I'd share with you my pre-birthday dinner at Plateau, Canary Wharf. I were sent there a long time ago as a job and have loved the place since. It is at the prime location of the finance district with the easiest and shortest walk from the tube station. With the submersion of dense, glistening building lights and its crisp white interiors, sink into their seats and let their amazing wine wash away your worries. The price tag isn't cheap but we had caught some amazing 3-course deals from them in the past.

The Knickerbocker Glory with Strawberry Ice Cream. Super Nom!

Lightbox Fun!
My dress is from River Island, cardigan from MaxMara, clutch by Vivian Ying,
shoes from Mr. Louboutin and baroque bangle from Anna Dello Russo for H&M.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post - I have got so much to share for my actual birthday (yesterday) but for now I need to run along and enjoy the last of it today! Find me on Instagram! Always amazing when they fall on weekends! xxx

Please Mind the Gap

This faux leather dress from H&M is the perfect modern LBD. Its simplicity is cleverly panelled with fabric which makes the dress all the more versatile. I love the proportion of this dress as most fit too loose up top for me (and my asian boobs) or too tight at the bottom. This one however fits like a glove! I finally found my LBD!!
