Spring Mix

So Spring/Summer is upon us and I am so happy to get out of my long coats and jumpers and explore more with fashion. I've been missing my home land and since I have just got back from a visit there, I wanted some remarks of the beautiful place. So I was eager to wear my African print head scarf. I love it because it brings so much character to an otherwise normal and possibly boring outfit.

Lately, I have been loving the whole androgynous look. Ive incorporated it into my own personal style and given it a new twist. I would love to pull off a full androgynous look but i don't think i have the confidence to do all that yet. But it soon come people. Just you wait :). 

I know it's been so long guys... but I am back now. Promise
Stay Beautiful and Stay Balanced.

Happy International Women's Day!!!

I hope as women we are indulging in this day dedicated to us. Of course we must celebrate our worth day by day. But its nice for us as a union to be recognized at a unit.

Today I'm bringing you something different than that of my usual blogging style.

I had the privileged to collaborate with Karen and Esther on a fun day shoot just for this cause. Expressing the unity of women. We had great fun shooting with the fab photographer Ayo.

"Unity is strength. When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved"

Mattie J.T Stepanek

As women in society, we can get caught up in the "competition" of life. Always trying to out do one another. We forget that Power comes in Unity. We as a body of people can achieve so much more when we uphold and lift one another up rather than tearing each other down. 

I for one am all about the unity of women. That is why when the opportunity presented itself to work with these ladies, I couldn't pass it up. Sharing love is so rewarding. I encourage all my readers to embark on this journey.

"The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is  because we are disunited with ourselves"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

So lets make a change and stay united as a people, but more importantly as women.

So in link with power and unity, I wanted to reflect on power clothing. How does your clothing make you feel? To me, Clothing says a lot about a person. You can tell a persons personality, lifestyle and confidence through materials on an individuals back.

Jumpsuits to me represent power. I think its because of the confidence I exhume when I wear it. 

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come... Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all"

Proverbs 31:25 + 29

"Love is the strongest force the world possesses"

Mahtama Gandhi

When we accept ourselves for who we are and LOVE ourselves, then we can give love to others. In honor of International Women's Day, I embarked on the #DearMe movement. below is advice to myself. below is the link I hope you enjoy :)

It's Grey

I think it's become no secret that I love grey during the winter months. I just find it so comforting and to be honest, it does fit in with the atmosphere most of the time lol.

I am so in love with this coat. It is just evvverrrythinggg to me right now. And for £20, that's not half bad right?!?! I do not have a favorite color, I've never been the one to be picky (if it looks good on me, I'm wearing it). However, with that being said, I am a neutral girl. I know... contradictory right? But whats a girl to do!!
You know what i say, just go with what you comfortable with and in this current season, I'm loving my grey. I can't help it. Plus it i do think it looks good and sophisticated.
During the winter, a pop of color doesn't hurt either :)

Oscars 2015

So the biggest award show has surpassed us now and I must say the fashion this year was mind blowing. It seems like the general theme of the event was all about elegantcy and sophistication. I decided to list my favorite the women who blew me away. It is listed in no particular order because i honestly cannot choose. I love them all. I am also discussing the common themes that ran throughout the evening that I realized.

So Jennifer Lopez was my most favorite look of the night. This Elie Saab gown is just perfection on her. So flattering. She executes sophistication. Her hair and make up is done just right and I am just in awe of this gown. This woman can do no wrong. There where many nude toned gowns last night but by all means JLo had the best in my eyes

TREND: Blush Toned Nudes + The Pony Tail

Zendaya is a style icon of mine (just to put it out there) And I find it amazing that she is so young and inspires women of all ages. She has really come into her own.

 I must admit. when I first saw this picture, I was not a fan at all. However, the more I stared at it in disbelief that there's a possibility I may not like a look of hers. I began to see how beautiful she looked. Her makeup was excellent... I mean if I had that on my face I would not want to wipe it off.  Her Hair.... OMG!!!!! I wish I can put Emoji's. Its to die for. I mean can we just take a moment of silence for this greatness?!?!? Thanks for the "stylesperation" Zen

She totally rocked this beautiful gown. The gown completely complemented her ever so perfect body structure. Her hair and makeup is hands down my fave of the night.

(wow... I had a lot to say about her lol)

TREND: This year there was a residing trend in the Iridescent White Gowns

To be honest, I've never really taken notice of Rosamund Pike's fashion statements until last night. The Gone Girl actress did absolutely no wrong in this drop dead gorgeous gown. This Givenchy number is just stunning. my favorite thing about her look is that she did not accessories. She kept it to the bare minimum. No Clutch... Nothing. It gives sexiness a new name (if that even makes sense). Shes mysterious... and I love it.

TREND: True Reds, High Slits.

Emma Stone is just divine in this Elie Saab number. Its funny because this dress when not worn doesn't look like something I would love. however, seeing it worn, for me makes the dress come alive. I especially love it on Emma because the color is a perfect match for her skin. You Go Girl!!

TREND: Bold Lips.

Lupita Nyong'o Is stunning. Her Black Beauty alone is to die for. This Custom Calvin Klein ensemble is just beautiful. I think she is the only one who could pull of such a purl studded gown like this. her dark chocolate skin illuminates the dress which is the thing I love most about this look. I must say though, I am not a huge fan of the heavy Purling in the neck area.

This legend just rocked the red carpet last night. This gown just hugs Oprah in all the right places. she is just so simple, yet flattering and elegant. What more can I say about this legend.

Some More Of My Favorites

Sleek

I've been absolutely in love with these Sleek Matte Me Ultra Smooth Lip Creams (Liquid Lipstick) . They have steadily become my favorite go to lip colors for a long time. I cannot even remember... like in how long.
They are so creamy and smooth on the lips. And... that's a HUGE advantage for me as I have very dry lips therefore I hate things that are hard on them and drying. These lips creams are the total opposite for me. They are so moisturizing and light. I forget I'm even wearing them. 
They last all day and are perfect for that Valentines date. You do not have to worry about having to constantly top up your lippie.
Most of all, they are purse/wallet friendly retailing at only £4.99. Great huh

***This is not a sponsored post. I truly love these lippies.****

You saw 'Sleek' on staceychellz first
