Heat Wave Baby!

So we've got two weeks of spring!! I'm absolutely loving it as, well, who wouldn't? 

I'm absolutely obsessed with this clutch. It comes in both black and white - this is obviously the white, while the black carries black spike studs. They are super gorgeous! They are handmade by the London brand Vivian Ying - where again (see last post) you have an exclusive half price coupon to shop at! Simply type in YNMS50 at checkout and get investing on your designer leather clutch!!

P.S. My nails are Gwen Stefani for OPI's Satin Black; which on its own is basically just matte black... what do you guys think? I personally would probably rather a matte topcoat...

Glowing in this Badass Artefact

The Pink Brick Wall

I'm still trying to catch up with the load of outfits I archived before I started my travels thinking I was going to be super organised and still be able to manage the blog. Oh how I continue to overestimate myself! Anyway, slightly embarrassed to say that I am still trying to catch up! But with Christmas now out of the way - I am hopeful!

This was one of my favourite of the bunch, mainly cos of this amazing wall. Second reason is because I had compliments all day in this skirt. It was sent to me from Missguided - a new brand I have been assigned. I was a little conscious at the beginning as we were stuck in traffic for 2-3 hours and the skirt creases rather easily. That is until we started walking that girls were looking wide-eyed and some even asked me outright where I got it from - which is never bad news! So yes girls - Missguided! I otherwise really like this wrap skirt! It really elongates our legs!

Then onto the shoes - from River Island. This is one of their best selling construction and I was sent this pair to see what I thought. I have another pair of this with a different upper (bootie with buckles and cut-outs but same sole unit) and this was a little narrow for me. Actually gave me blisters but I do have wide feet though so it's probably nothing to most people! Thought I'd share anyway as it is my job afterall! ;)

Last Friday Before Christmas!

It's the last day at the office for many of us! Are you more organised this year compared to the last like you promised yourself last Christmas? Made no such promise as you have always been an Organisation Goddess? Hehe, well I am definitely more like the prior than the later!

Anywho, still trying to catch up with posts but I thought this white skater skirt is a lot like christmas indeed. I did this outfit back in October which explains the lack of layers (remember our warm October?) and my long straight hair. I've been crushing on this blue for a long time now and the items in this shade is steadily growing! Can't wait to show you what I acquired from Selfridges this week! EEK! I love it SO so so much! In fact, I'm going to post it on Instagram right after this!

I'm crushing on this colour so hard that even my Christmas Tree is this colour! xP

I was also so in love with this bag, instantly chic's up any outfit!

Roller Skater Girl

I had so much fun this day at Dulwich Park! I especially love how these shoes look like roller skaters here! Those of you who might remember, I have pairs these shoes with other looks before and they have looked sporty or simply cool when needed! So über versatile!

So I'm back in London! Literally just landed a few hours ago and I'm so excited to be blogging again! British summer - thanks for holding up!!! I'm so pleasantly surprised that you have indeed remained! I love love love you!!

The Almost-Perfect Me Day

Outfit: GEEK cropped t-shirt by Topshop, Skirt from Vero Moda, Jacket from Asos, Prada Bag, River Island
trainers and Balenciaga wrist band.

I had an amazing birthday. Following my last post, this is what I got up to. 

I started off with a very nice brunch - I'm a big sucker for brunch! Who doesn't like brunch? Especially on a weekend! Afterwards, we stumbled into a huge and amazing vintage shop in Dulwich whilst we were fruitlessly florist-hopping (yes, proper mature stuff!). They had everything - besides clothes there were luggage, house decor, home furniture, and of course some beautiful jewellery. I spent the most time at the corner where all the Mad-Men era grooming sets were. Most of them were multi-tiered travel sets for men but were as big as suitcases! Check out a few of their pieces that I managed to take pictures of:

Just look at this beauty!

One of the gorgeous grooming sets.

The best part was my treasure find - a pair of gorgeous Gucci Sunglasses still in its original case! It was perfect for such a glorious sunny day and I am so excited to show them off soon if the sunny weather holds up!

I was then pampered by my first ever mani-pedi. Sounds ridiculous I know but despite having plenty of experience with my manicures I have never had the chance to enjoy a pedicure! Anyway, it was heavenly. I decided to try the Dockland's Nailbar as recommended by Esther Wong here back from the Harrods Nails post. Thank you so much for the tip! They have such an amazing range of OPI from solid colours, shimmer colours, metallics, chunky glitters, crackle, matte, and the new Liquid Sand. Their service is mega speedy yet still very carefully done, not to mention their amazing value for money. I had a full pedicure, an acrylic fix on one finger, then a full repaint for £35.

The Nail Bar

I chose to test out OPI's Liquid Sand. It dries matte and doesn't stop glistening - exactly like liquid sand! I'm so in love with them I can't ever stop starring at them! For the feature finger and all my toes I chose a purple-blue chunky glitter, layered over the metallic deep purple. My boyfriend was silly enough to get me a fro-yo as he was looking for parking too - I was spoilt rotten!

Quick change of outfit and we were out again for some birthday cocktails and dinner at TGI's.

At the end of this dinner was when everything went wrong. You wouldn't believe the story when I tell you. Whilst we were eating, there were a total of 3 other birthday boys & girls in the restaurant (as you know, TGI's sing you their birthday song in full blast). One of which was a family who sat at the table in the big round podium that was in the centre of the entire restaurant. The candles on their cake when the staff brought it to their table whilst chanting their TGI song really caught my attention. 

By the time it was our dessert time, everyone seemed very distracted. All of the sudden, I was told I had a custom made, pre-ordered birthday cake that had been given to the wrong table, and they ate it. Completely gone. It was that table in the middle. The blasting candles were mine. It was my birthday cake, pre-ordered lovingly by my boyfriend and smuggled in my little sister, yet I don't even get to see it. We were absolutely stunned. The manager told us that they had specifically asked for the Selfridges food hall bag (that was in my sister's hand that she claimed was shopping she had to return to River Island). When we asked where their cake was he simply said "you don't want their cake". Does this mean the person did this on purpose?! Did they see my sister bring it in and decided to steal it? It also turns out that the reason my boyfriend arranged the whole mani-pedi there was so he has a chance to collect it from Sweet Couture at Canary Wharf whilst I was occupied. The whole thing was so seamless and I love surprises! 

Anyway...we all died quite a bit inside. Even if it was a genuine mistake, someone at that table would know that that wasn't the cake they brought in. Can you believe some people? TGI was hugely apologetic and wiped our bill. It was only the least they can do to be honest. They then gave us a compensation cake and got every single member of staff to blast their birthday song at me. Do you like my false appreciation? Can you tell I am devastated? Moments after this, that table popped a bottle of Champagne.

Sorry I haven't got pictures of this outfit, we were too upset to hang around. It was an all nude shirt x skirt combo with a black patent skinny belt and the same Prada bag as above; paired with a gorgeous pair of nude-pink suede wedges by Office - I promise it looks a lot nicer than in this picture! Very Miu Miu - esque.

I feel like I have rambled on for ages! Thanks for reading all this for you have finally reached the end!
