Black Panther Flair

Lately I'm craving a Saint Laurent Sac de Jor Bag or a Fendi 2/3 Jours Bag. But with my wedding in less than 30 days, it wouldn't make economical sense to spend a massive amount on a bag at the moment. If anyone else is planning a wedding trust me, do not buy anything you don't need, the unexpected expenses keep rolling in... arghh!!! I need another timeless black handbag as I've had this Black Zara one for ages; however, there's no rush.

 Outfit Details:
Long Sleeve Tee: COS similar (here)
Trousers: Gap UK similar (here)
Faux Fur Stole: Out of the Blue Flea Market
Shoes: & Other Stories (here) + in blue (here)
Glasses: Vtg Laura Biagotti love these on sale (here)
Bag: Zara in blue (here)
Cable Pearl Bangles: (here)

Now this Black Zara Bag has suffered! It has a water mark, it's been my jewellery holder when travelling and the straps always fall off, yet I can't seem to let it go. It's safe to say I've used every bit of the £80.00 I bought it for.... The Laura Biagotti Vintage Frames with my Afro added a bit of a Black Panther flair. The massive Black Faux Fur keeps me warm when the weather is bipolar.

I'm currently in London, and fly out later on in the week. My big day is getting closer and closer!!!

Spring Accessories Edit: Plus Size Options Included

Spring is definitely the time to start adding bold colors to your wardrobe. So why not go about this trend, by adding great accessories to your everyday style! I found many great pieces that can be combined to make one loud statement, or can be worn alone to add the right amount of flair to any outfit. Kate Spade has a wonderful selection of vibrant purses that would make any girl swoon, and shops like One Stop Plus have great plus size options for the curvier woman. There is something for everyone this spring so have fun trying out different styles!

Here are some accessories I love at the moment:


Topshop Multi-Colored Beaded Necklace (here), Ray Ban Erika Sunglasses (here), Cobalt Blue Gold Buckle Belt on sale (here), Kate Spade Leather Strap Watch on sale (here), Forever 21 Layered Pendant Necklace (here), Forever 21 Grey Bib Necklace (here), Kate Spade Cross Body Bag (here), Gelato Pionted Heels (here), and Glory High Heels (here).


Grey Skies

Sorry for the last of post this week thus far. I have been working hard and wedding planning has been taking up a lot of my time. I hope you haven't noticed too much!

I wore this outfit on Sunday. I was running a bit late again and had to throw something on in a jiffy. I initially wanted to wear my vintage yellow trench coat (mac coat for UK readers). However, it was really grey and cold outside, thus I had to throw on a coat. No complaints this time, as it actually worked out fine. I guess it's time to invest in a nice quality Spring coat.
