Monochrome Lookbook AW13

So it’s getting slightly colder and I am already layering in different pieces and textures for this up and coming season. I love the monochrome trend and if you already filter through your wardrobe you will realise you have a lot of black and white. Start introducing leather, faux fur or real fur, different prints and plain block pieces. Rock this trend with your hair up and a bright lip for a strong empowering ambience, I think a bold lip or a bold colourful accessory will make this a statement look for this season.

It’s so easy to wear, the lookbook I have created is pretty casual, to rock this look during the night add plain black heels, jewellery and wear plain block colours. I am totally in love with any sort of bomber jacket this season, don’t forget to mix up the textures and look fierce. Don’t forget to subscribe!

Winter Wish List

As I am getting older my taste in fashion has become slightly more refined. I still love my impulse buys with the fast fashion trends but over the Autumn Winter Season I prefer to invest in quality fashion that is timeless with structured cuts but also looks super FAB!

I stumbled into Reiss the other days and in my head I already spent my next pay cheque. I need that orange winter coat… ooooh maybe two…. one casual and one more formal…. I need a few shirts to wear with my leather skirt and tights and also need a few new accessories… the list goes on! I have bought a few things over the years from Reiss and the quality is still pretty much brand new and every time I pull one of my last season dresses out people always ask me where it’s from. I love to mix old season and new season, keep it fresh yet bring in my own style! Check out some of the key pieces I want to invest in this season…. let me know which ones you will be buying and help me choose mine! I would recommend buying a statement colour coat, colourful knits to layer with, invest in a evening dress for the up and coming parties….. So many options… so little time!

This Seasons Coat

It’s coming up to winter… the skies will be grey (the reality of living in London)…. but brighten up your day to day with this statement coat! I love colour especially in winter… I prefer winter clothes over summer as you can spot the true fashionistas a mile away.

This coat is a straight cut statement piece and an investment piece for season after season for £295.

The Day to Night Dress

This season we all need that dress that we can wear at work or during the day and add a few accessories and be ready for the evening. This easy neo black lace dress with it’s navy panels and body con fit will look casual during the day with a pair of tights, add an oversized jumper or a casual jacket with cute ankle boots. For the evening wear sheer tights or no tights, add heels, red lips and a leather jacket and a statement necklace and your ready for the night! You can’t beat a day to night dress this season… you never know who might ask you out for dinner! Hehe…

A Dash of Sparkle 

Sparkle…. there can never be enough, this piece I am totally in love with! I would buy this jumper one or two sizes bigger to get that oversized look and wear it with either skinny jeans or thick black tights and cute ankle boots. Rock this with a leather jacket or a fitted suit jacket. I really need this and it midi sleeves, for the evening time I would rock this again super oversized with cute heels and smokey eyes and nude lips!

The sparkle is the main focus, so muted neutral lips and a smokey eye would give it a rocker look but still easy to wear. For the day rock with jeans and cute shoes or even converse… it depends how comfortable you are rocking sparkle! I always love wearing something pretty it makes me feel better…. trust me retail therapy is the new therapy ladies! Don’t you love this?

Jacket Madness

I think I own about 50 jackets… I can’t stop buying them. I have two black leather jackets but one is studded and the other one is pretty plain. Leather can be worn throughout the season, rock it with jeans, during the night… whenever they always look good.  This leather jacket reminds me of a bomber jacket… which is totally on trend this season. I really really want this, its slightly pricey but it’s an investment piece. Remember when buying goods you want them to last over the next few seasons. Quality over quantity guys.

The Statement Shirt 

You need that shirt that is easy to wear but my goodness does it make a statement. I literally saw this in store and was thinking… I could rock this with my leather skirt… with skinnies! Try it with my hair up and red lips with jeans or during the evening with a structure pair of shorts and smokey eyes. I always have to image myself in the outfit before I buy it… where would I wear this? How would I rock this? I love this…. maybe one of my favourite pieces from their collection this season. It’s so pretty …….

Accessories Yourself Girl

This season croc embossed leather is the bomb-diggity! Everything is croc croc and more croc, this cute little side bag in nude can be worn during the evening and rocked in the summer as well! Make good investments ladies and you will look a million dollars!

I think I know what I will be buying next week… hopefully all of these goodies over the next few weeks and a new red lipstick. Whats on your WISHLIST ladies?

New Chapter

So where do I start…. so I wasn’t happy with my job it wasn’t bringing  me any closer to my own dreams… making me happy or helping me in anyway to what I want to achieve in life. I graduated in Fashion merchandising so to naturally walk into that job seemed like the right thing to do… I am a people’s person…. I say it how it is and sitting in an office not communicating or helping people wasn’t benefiting me in anyway so I made the scary decision to leave and find a new job! YAY I have a new job but some time off in between to focus on me…. take a holiday and enjoy life a little!

The saddest thing about leaving my job is that I am going to miss my friends… not just any friends but girls who I regard as people I trust and love… I will miss you minions (weep)! So for my leaving do we wanted to pigged out at Meat Liquor!

I have heard so many different reviews on this and you can’t make a reservation you have to queue up. It’s behind House of Fraser on Oxford street…. if you have ever seen the film Saw thats what it reminded me off. Red lighting… pretty creepy…. terrifying wall art and lots of red paint (blood splatter)! 

 

 

The place was packed… the girls and I finally got a table and we ordered food. Yes I have turned into a fitness and health freak but every once and a while it’s good to pig out and just have a yummy feast! We ordered burgers… cheese and chilli chips… onion rings…. literally so much food but it tasted so good! 

 

If you can manage to get a table defiantly go! It was yummy…. I’m sure I consumed my daily allowance of calories in this meal… guess I will just have to work a bit harder at the gym this weekend! 

 

 

Besides a bag full of goodies the team got me this amazing name necklace I have always wanted! I have always wanted a Tatty Devine necklace I just never managed to get one! It’s so pretty! Sometimes it’s so scary to make these decisions of starting over but if we never live out of our comfort zone we will never know what we can achieve. Cut all the rubbish…… are you happy? We only live once and your happiness is something you will deal with everyday.

 

 

Also….. I decided to dye my hair ombre blonde…. I was pretty bored and women normally change their hair when they want a new start or identity! I hope you like it and check out the other pics on my instagram! 

 

 

Don’t forget to keep posted with fashion, beauty, health and randomness on youtube and the blog!

A new fashion and motivational video will be up this week! Keep your eyes peeled and subscribe!

Mark Fast SS14 London Fashion Week

 

I was very excited to attend the SS14 collection of Mark Fast….. dramatic fringes….bright bold neon yellows with a mix of textures, fabrics and a power parade of body con! The energy in the room was fierce and the models looked like a mix between a gothic grunge chick meets powerful chic! 

The collection was daring, elegant and risky…. elegantly cut to fit the body but the fringes were by far my favourite! the army of models bolted out one after the other and the flashes were going wild! 

I would mix the crop tops with a suit jacket and a flowy skirt for summer to keep it soft but still have that edgy look! 

The power parade of ladies made me wish London was warm all year round! Keep your eyes peeled for when the collection drops next season! 

As it was raining in London I whipped my hair up in fierce top knot, brought out my metallic skirt and rocked my fluffy pink jumper with my new printed jacket!

I met the cutest dog at Somerset house…… I really really really want a puppy…. just have to convince the boy! (Please … flutters eyelashes at 100 miles an hour …. end up looking like I have something caught in my eye!)

I can’t wait to give you an overview of my favourite bits of London Fashion Week! This year I have been occupied by work and the weather has been terrible…. next year watch this space so we can see the coolest street stylistas!

Feel Good Time

I am currently sitting in my room on a Sunday night relaxing and reflecting on the past week. I am attempting to sing along to Whitney Houston’s ‘I’m every woman’ (really really badly) but the music is so loud I have convinced myself that I sound like her double! Over the past week I have made a few changes that my future self will thank me for, I have been unhappy in my current job because of a few factors so decided to take the plunge and hand in my notice and kick my butt into getting a new job! At the end of the day we have to be happy and I say if it’s not making me happy, making me money or expanding my knowledge then let it go! Remember that life is not a rehearsal and sometimes we have to face our fears and just do it anyway and shake a few things up to get us kick started in our future arrangements.

Gym Updates– As you know I have been gyming it alot and need to invest in a new pair of trainers, make sure that you are comfortable and looking after your body. I bought my trainers a year ago and they were not specifically anything special but now that I am actually training I need something super comfy. Think I am going to invest in a new pair of nike trainers, I tried some on today and it felt like my foot was on a pillow……. I have had a lot of questions on what I eat, what workouts I do at the gym and this will all be shared over the next few weeks. I would firstly look at what you are consuming… this video will be up during the week my lovelies! Don’t forget to subscribe to my  youtube channel! 

Today my brother came back from his honeymoon and I missed him so much which is very surprising lol (oh my goodness did I just lol at my own comment… someone slap me!)

 

 

Today I wore my casual Sunday outfit, comfy jeans, comfy heels and oversized white tee and my new pyjama styled suit from Zara. My jeans are high waisted from American Apparel and they are the same style as the disco pants but not as tight fitted.

 

 

 

 

I have a new MAC obsession, its Lady Danger and looks fierce with any outfit! 

 

With the ladies today we were discussing everything from life to love and the usual boy conversation. I realised that life is what you make it, never ever ever compare yourself to anyone. God has a plan for you and inshallah everything will come to you when you are ready! I started this blog off to show you what I wear because I have a love for fashion but I feel so comfortable sharing my life and views on the world with you! Sometimes we need to remind ourselves what we want, we need to make decision in life that benefit us! Keep going and chin up beauties and kick sadness in the face, feel good everyday and do you!

The reason I always bang on about focusing on myself is because I was previously in a bad relationship and lost myself, I hope that you all are in a good place and if not know when it’s a good time to let go! Be free like a butterfly and happy!

The Wedding … YAY

Finally my brother had his Islamic wedding over the weekend and it was beautiful. I have been to many different weddings but this was the most important wedding to me! I love my brother so much and I never give him enough credit, but I was so happy to see him on this special day. You know sometimes in life we get so caught up in the materialistic stuff and we realise that all we need is love. On this day we celebrated two people falling in love and focusing on a future together. Marriage is such a beautiful thing, one day I want to get married to someone amazing that treats me well, respects me, is my friend, partner, everything and I want to celebrate life. We stress as a society so much about what we need to achieve at this age and that age but go with the flow, spread positivity and it will serve you well!

 

 

My brothers suit is a typical asian outfit and I am such a proud sister, he looked so good and I called him Aladdin the whole day. On days like this it makes me truly appreciate life and being surrounded by the people I love. 

 

I am totally in love with my super sparkly designer outfit if I say so myself, I searched for this for ages and when I saw it …. it called out to me and said BUY ME SKEENA…. THIS IS THE OUTFIT! After trying it on I immediately fell in love! 

The beautiful couple, I am in awe of this picture… so cute! I love you both very much, I have a new sister YAY and my brother has turned into a husband! (damn I feel old)

 

 

 

I asked my friend to take the camera to take a few snaps of the whole fam, when I saw this pic it brought a tear to my eye. We missed someone so special on this day but he was there in spirit!

 

 

 

The wedding cake… each tier was a different flavour! Yummy…. I had a slither because I am high on the gym at the moment so trying to get this booty into shape! 

 

I can’t explain to you how heavy this outfit was, I had to take a seat on the steps and mummy snapped this shot! 

 

 

Two of my favourites……. I love these ladies… new beginnings… new family members! YAY! 

 

 

 

How beautiful is the Bride.. and how amazing is her outfit! Mashallah she looked spectacular!

 

 

Mummy bear rocking her red outfit…. this woman looks good in anything… this is where I get all my style from. Having a father in the luxury fashion industry and a mother with impeccable taste…. thank you parentals! 

 

I am just so happy at this point in my life, there are so many things that are changing and I am so happy. Everything happens for a reason and a few things are shifting into the right direction. Inshallah (in Gods Will) I hope you all have an amazing day, focus on you and spread love! Don’t let anyone rain on your parade and keep working towards you dream! You go gurllllll!!!

The Mehndi Party …..

Where do I even begin, I have been so busy the last week I haven’t been able to have hardly any Skeena time! I recently joined a gym because I want to get super fit and adapt my current lifestyle into an even healthier lifestyle! The wedding has all of a sudden arrived and I am excited, nervous, happy and sad all at the same time! I am so excited for the happy couple to be saying their religious vows and being blessed in the eyes of God. I am nervous because I have to keep it together and not cry (and ruin my make up)! My daddy will be missed and its all just happened so quickly! I am so excited to show you all what I am wearing.

(I did this myself)

If you are not from an Asian background a Mehndi party or henna party is a pre wedding party for girls where they celebrate everything with food, music, henna and it’s a bit of a giant party! My sister in law invited all her friends and we had a great time, I did my own henna but for my wedding (inshallah one day ….. he he ) I would like to get it done professionally! So back to the point, for the ladies party we all danced and ate and everyone wore bright colours! I decided to wear yellow and blue and mummy wore green!

Mummy looks great in this colour and her shoes are from New Look, she didn’t have a pair of silver shoes but she needed to buy some…. actually neither do I! I think its’s time to invest! 

My blue shoes are from Zara, it’s the first time I have worn them and I got them last year! I don’t like the whole matchy matchy colour thing sometimes but with asian outfits I don’t mind! This is just a casual party outfit, I can’t wait to show you the real wedding outfit! 

My sister in law looking amazing in yellow! I love the flowers around her wrist it’s beautiful! 

I took quite a few selfies on the way to the party…. (standard as I am currently obsessed with instagram at the moment…) Check me on @iwantyourstyle 

I ended up changing my outfit last minute as it got caught in the car and ripped! UHOH…. so had to do a last minute outfit change and ended up being late! Sorry Zara ha ha ! Tomorrow the following products will be my secret weapons to a flawless face! My benefit 15 hour primer will keep my face feeling fresh the whole day! The true match l’oreal conceler is my favourite and l’oreal eyeliner is super black! The pressed pigment looks like fairy dust!

Anyway my lovelies… I have been requested to do alot more motivational videos and fashion videos… any preferences? XO XO

AQ AQ AW13

I was recently invited to AQ AQ’s launch previously know as Aqua by Aqua  to see the rebranding and new seasons collection. This was hosted at their Carnaby Street store, it was a red carpet event and full of bright colours and digital prints.

 

 

Laura Whitmore Dj’d the whole night wearing one of the new seasons jumpsuits, currently available online.

 

 

Mollie King from The Saturdays look stunning in red! What a statement dress and also available online! 

 

This seasons we see reds, neons and bold strong colours mixed with prints and darings cuts. They have a sexual leotard which can we worn as swimwear or as a top, it’s fierce and has a high cut leg and low cut back. 

 

I want so much menswear it’s worrying, it’s full of digital prints and i love an oversized tee with my hair up for a day look. The men’s store is at the other end of Carnaby street. 

 

This season Scott Wilson has taken his statement pieces to a new extreme. Bold, gold and ‘in yo face’ the statement piece of the season. 

 

Delilah wearing AQAQ pants ….. I have these too, she reminded me how to rock them for the summer! 

 

Aaron Frew the model and me posing for the camera.. double prints all the way! 

 

I know this is menswear but i’m going to buy the whole outfit! Looking fierce Frew!

 

 

 

Love love love my new Scott Wilson Ring that I got at the press event, I wore on the plane to the US and I have had so many compliments! 

 

 

I also decided to represent and wear my new AQAQ tee, casual yet simple with my printed HnM trousers! Don’t forget to check out their new collection here! An exclusive video of the event will be up on youtube over the next few days…. see the frenzie of the relaunch!

Girl Gossip…

Where do I even begin…a majority of conversations with my girlies revolve around men/boys (a majority of them have not grown up yet) … fashion… love… and our future plans! 60% of the conversation will relovle around who is dating who? .. Did he really say that on a date? Why is he still talking to his Ex GF? What good is this man actually bringing to your life?

The conversation will go something like this … ‘No he did not do that? Why are men so stupid… he needs to lock it down…. onto the next one!’ …. ‘If he playing games now he will always be playing games, you want a man not a boy!’….’Have you seen his new girlfriend **stalk social media** …. you are way better than her… he downgraded!’

This is what friends do…. well this is what me and my friends talk about… boys boys and more boys! We all have that dream wether we admit to it or not of one day getting married to our prince charming and falling head over heels in love … living happily ever after… pop out some kids… enjoy life … the end!

Realistically all disney films have set us up for failure and we now have unrealistic views on ‘love’! Your prince charming will come when you least expect it, he most probably won’t look how you expected him too and he will treat you like the princess that you are! Before that you need to filter out the Rif-raf and focus on you!

 

 

Soaking up the summer weather at the weekend London is one of the most beautiful places when its warm! We can enjoy the rooftop bars and I actually get to wear my summer wardrobe outside my house! I would recommend popping to Radio bar at the top of the ME hotel when you can. It’s pretty lush with phenomenal views…. I can’t wait to attend during fashion week…. will be totes amazing (clueless accent)! 

 

My beautiful friend Rosie is wearing her structured Zara white shorts with her Urban Outfitter shoes and tee! Keeping it simple, elegant and effective! Very monochrome chic!… We didn’t plan out outfits by the way… we just ended up in very similar colours! 

 

Rosie has the most beautiful hair I have ever seen….. like seriously I have been telling her this for years and it’s like it’s been woven with silk! Naturally having dead straight hair she used a curling tong to get beach waves! 

 

My sandals which I am currently obsessed with at the moment are from Zara and are on SALE! So grab them while you can ladies….. only £20… BARGAIN! My embellished structured shorts are from Primark last year….. It’s the second time I have worn them out and I think they went down quite well with this little number! The top is from Zara and yes again very monochrome!

 

If I am not working during the day… I will be filming or editing a post so it’s nice to just catch up with friends and enjoy the sunshine! I hope you are all enjoying the weather and wearing suncream! 

Keep your eyes peeled for my new haul and fashion video for AQ AQ!
