New Year's Eve


The last day of 2012 was a gloomy and grey one in London, non-stop rain and winds and in fact my lovely umbrella didn't make it into 2013...........

For my last looks of 2012 i kept it bright and cheery, end the year as you mean to begin the next one.....during the day i rocked this short sleeve Topshop jumper paired with Primark Skinny jeans and some thrifted gems from Portobello market. Can you believe i got these beauties & much more for only £1 each *insert chicken dance*.....most of the day was spent in my favourite shop IKEA, i needed a new coffee table & a few bits, i LOVE this shop, i can spend an entire day just day dreaming from section to section.

I switched it up for church and changed into my floral denim Zara shirt & BDG skinny jeans for Midnight service, i always usher in the new year in the house of God, and usual service was amazeballs.





My Ikea Coffee table, i put this together myself, my first unsupervised DIY  :)

Westfield Tuesday


This was originally my OOTD but decided against the shorts at the last minute
Shorts - H&M
Pearl Studded Shoulder jumper - Zara
Yewande 
Jeans - Primark
Ankle Boots -Bertie (old)
Coat - Zara
Faux Fur snood- Linea





Yesterday my friend Yewande & I met at Westfield mall in west London for a meal and a movie, safe to say we weren't very lucky with both.

First of all the cinema were only showing 3 movies, The Hobbit, James Bond & Twilight, none of which we really fancied watching. So we thought we would just grab dinner instead, as usual i was being quite indecisive on what i wanted to eat but finally settled on pasta and headed to Spaghetti House & boy did i regret that decision.

Dinner started off well, with a bread basket and cranberry juice, then i ordered Linguine Gamberoni for my main, wrong decision. First of all the linguine had no flavour, tasted quite dry and like they had just   poured a little bit of oil on it and the prawns were not well cooked, i tried to eat it but i just couldn't, i was going to leave it but my friend called the waiter's attention so i confessed that the food wasn't nice.

They kindly offered to bring me something else, so i chose a Penne Carbonara, surely you can't go wrong with Carbonara, boy was i wrong, firstly the colour was this odd yellow, but i thought let me try it first before dismissing it, and sadly it wasn't nice. It tasted like raw egg with a bit of cream, i didn't finish it and by the end i was gagging, had to hurry out and get a frozen yoghurt to improve the taste in my mouth and stop myself from exposing my stomach's contents to the whole of west London. Sadly, i probably will not be returning to this restaurant again.










Anyway after the disaster that was dinner, we decided to do a bit of shopping and we headed off to Urban Outfitters(UO) on Oxford street, now i know this shop can be quite pricey depending on which designers you choose but i have a tip. Most people don't realise it because in my opinion it is kind of unintentionally hidden as it is on the second floor which can be quite a journey to climb up to, however UO always have a sale section on the second floor stocked with lots of merchandise. So every time i head to this shop, i go straight there and i never leave empty handed, and at the moment they currently have an extra 50% off sale items, so you can imagine there are lots of bargains to be found.

I picked up a pair of studded black skinny BDG jeans for £12.50 and this ivory bag for £11 which was featured in my previous post HERE

Impromptu shopping finds


Trousers - Topshop outlet £5 each (mega bargain)


Recently, i tend to find the best bargains and outfits when i am not looking which is great. For a long time now, i keep hearing about the Topshop outlet store in Edgware but i have never really been motivated to go there because it is so far, the end of the northern line to be precise (major trek)

On Friday i found myself in the Edgware area and decided to kill two birds with one stone; so i popped into this infamous shop to see what the bargain hype is all about.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a vast array of clothes in all sizes at ridiculously low prices. For some reason i gravitated towards the trousers and picked out a few, i will definately be heading back there in there near future, it is definately worth. I was even told by the shop assistant that i missed out on a buy one get one promo they had recently, so if you are in the area, i would recommend it.

Here are some of my purchases
