Dior fashion film

I have never been so crazy about fashion films and its probably because none got me so inspired. When i watched the Dior short film 'secret garden 2 -Versailles', i was very impressed, very excited and very inspired.  I found it dreamy, mysterious and quite romantic. I absolutely love the creativity..from the model in arabesque up in trees to the gold chandeliers suspended from trees.

Dior - 2013

Another aspect i quite liked was the obvious inspiration from 'the luncheon on the grass' which was the greatest work by Edouard Manet painted in 1863.

the luncheon on the grass- 1863

I wish i could get all those pieces in the images..my wish list keeps getting unattainable. Times like this is when one needs a fairy Godmother or hermione granger's magic wand. Enjoy the short film :)

My Love For Great Gatsby

It seemed to me that the whole world was talking about the great gatsby movie when it first got released. I on the other hand had no clue what movies were out at the cinema because of my very hectic schedule. When i heard that Leonado Dicaprio starred in the movie i was excited to watch it..but i was more excited when i learnt it was based in the 1920's. That was when i knew i had to watch the movie. 

Unfortunately, the movie ended up being the saddest thing i have watched in a long time. For me, the summary of the movie goes like this: A man falls in love with a woman he could never have...made friends with people that only loved him for his money...and then gets killed by a total stranger for protecting this same woman who by the way, ended up leaving town with her family and never showed up at his funeral. In fact, no one showed up at his funeral..not even the well dressed elites who drank all the free champagne. Only one man did...someone he probably would have never imagined would. This goes to show that in life, we dont really need that many friends..one or two real friends is all one needs and not a bunch of people that will love you when things are going great for you and dump you like a bad habit when things are not. 

OKAY! back to the reason for this post. I love vintage fashion. I love everything vintage...from fashion to furnitures to architecture. I my friends was born in the wrong decade. Anyway, here are a few glamorous looks i adore :)

Look of the week: Nicole Scherzinger

HOT! Literally!. This ensemble is my favourite look this week. Even though its scorching hot in London and i wouldnt dare wear this leather dress during the day, i'd totally rock it at night time.

 

 The dress is from Bally and shoes from Dolce and Gabbana.



What do you think? Yay or Yay? :)

This is how to wear colours!

I saw these images of model Jessica Hart and i think her stylist she knows exactly how to combine colours. I've always loved combining colours in an outfit way before colour blocking became a trend so you can imagine how ecstatic i am about colour blocking not being so trendy anymore(well,not as bad as it was last summer). Anyway, i always appreciate people who get it right and Jessica Hart did get this very right. The pieces worn here are from an Australian designer brand called Portmans. So chic and very affordable.

A Vintage summer

I love vintage clothing. They are unique, well made and last a lifetime. In this post i am wearing vintage from head to toe. I have managed to collect quite a lot of vintage pieces as my love started probably a decade ago. This is the outfit i wore to church today and then i popped into my favourite cafe to have a smoothie.

The comfort zone

When i have a lot of errands to run i always go for comfort. I thought to quickly share an outfit i wore to go shopping yesterday in this hot London weather. Speaking of the weather, i think the temperature is too hot and i am really wishing for the cooler months to come. Yes, i cant believe i said so either:)

I am really loving my dalmatian flats this summer...and yeah...i nicked this lovely Ralph Lauren shirt from my baby brother. Yes, i have no shame hehe :)

Shopping adventures : The Little black dress

A well tailored little black dress is something every woman should have. Its timeless, classy and when in doubt it never goes wrong. I love my LBD's and over the years i have collected quite a number of them from vintage to brand names to the high street. when it comes to shopping, i never discriminate. On one of my shopping adventures in Harrods, i found this really beautiful LBD. I instantly fell in love with it. I  put together a look on how i would wear this dress. The craftsmanship alone is so amazing that i personally would love this dress on a mannequin display in my walk in closet. C'est magnifique.

That's me in the background marveling over this work of art. Nothing screams classy like a pair of sexy court shoes. when in doubt, think Louboutins.

Hope you like this :)

Fela zombie

I love tee shirts. I can easily dress them up or dress them down and they are my go to item of clothing when I want to feel comfortable espcially when I have to go to the lab. My favourite tee shirt label is Literati which is Nigerian owned and all types of my amazing. Their Fela zombie t-shirt is my absolute favourite. I love the creativity and the skeletal look of Fela's face and the best part is, it glows in the dark. I paired my T-shirt with a boyfriend blazer, pair of black jeans and my Dalmatian flats. Absolutely comfortable.

Adventures of a shopaholic : The gold dress

Gold sequins and beads on a peplum dress...This is LOVE!

I had fun last weekend shopping with the gorgeous Ama. She is the chief bridesmaid  at her friends wedding and the colour of the dress she is meant to wear on the day is gold. Now, if you live in London, then you know finding a gold dress (outside the winter season) is somewhat of a mission let alone a gorgeous gold dress. But i was determined...very determined. It was a lovely day with lots of sunlight but finding that dress was definitely a lot of hard work. By the time we were done, our feet hurt so bad that we ended up at a lovely bar in soho because we were so desperate for a drink. All in all, it was a fun filled day, with lots of sweet treats and laughter. here are a few dresses we liked :)
