Stepping to my own beat in a new journey

Rightie my lovely’s, last night was in every senses of the word a scramble-Literally. The goal was to create a night filled with bonding over dinner and then relaxing to a "she dies but comes back and is running from all her lover’s" kind of film. Which I'm sure you may have come across on more than one occasion if you’re a film frantic like me. It started off with a shopping trip to Oxford circus with me and my girlfriends heading to Selfridge's for some 90s lipstick styles however this came to a abrupt halt when we saw Zara. Yes, the weakness of many ladies –ZARA!

It wasn't that they had good pieces no, no, no they have  rack on racks on racks (lool that song just came out) which made my life hell since all I wanted was a new lippy and instead spent hours surfing through hangers, trying on clothes and debating on whether it was good enough to purchase.

Rightie (yes it’s not a real word but it doesn't stop me from using it)

Here are some of what came out of our girls trip to Zara:



 

Long dress with back chain looks amazing as an evening wear or day 



Lace embroidered bib front, sleeveless long round neck dress 



Long striped dress with pockets is light, comfortable and great for day wear 

Now as for the things we should have gotten because after leaving the store my mind was still playing on them:

The Mika to Fashion Mirror


Okay so where do I start, well the creation of this blog was long overdue and all down to my own fears. The fear of failure: not being able to translate what I see, so that others can jump with joy at outfits that make them drool like I do. However after being encouraged by fellow bloggers on their own experiences, being that they stick together. I thought I might as well give it ago, even if nothing comes of this it’s my way of expressing something which is a big part of who I am.

I am not a fashion student although I've been debating with myself whether to go back and do a degree. No, I am a distant admirer that uses what I have available to me (depending on my mood of the day because it varies a lot!) as a source of creation of styles and looks I like. I personally believe that there are other ways apart from higher education where a career in fashion can be achieved.  LOOOL I have to laugh at myself since it sounds like a ME, ME, ME post yeeks!

Right about me (there I go again) well I guess I will leave you guys to find out the rest in due time, but for now enjoy, comment and say your likes and dislikes as feedback is always helpful.
