Just a day...




Hi guys, so this was literally just a day where I went out with my best friend, who by the way was the person who helped me start my blog and she started the design for me, taking my pictures for me and even till this day helps out alllll the time and she was the first person since years ago saying that I should create a blog and I'm telling you she's been telling me since a few years ago and I must say I love her so so soooo much :) Well, forget the soppy things for now, we went to Green Street to buy new scarves and I got amazing new colours, although I did go for autumnal colours, but I ended up with one thats kind of autumnal (and I'm saying 'kind of' because even that has a hint of brightness to it if you know what I mean), anywho they are beautiful colours :) So I guess I could call this my 'casual' ish outfit just with heels (which do not make it casual anymore lol), but they are very comfortable. ;)








So this cardigan is very new and I will put the link to it below, but let me just tell you I absolutely LOVE it! I love the print, the length, the design and basically everything about it! Also, I think its an ok price. My trousers are also recent, and from H & M as well, and I am telling you, they are one of THE most comfortable trousers I've worn, I mean if I could I would wear them everyday to uni, but obviously I won't lol. These are like joggers, because they have that waistband thing (lol sorry I don't know what to call it) and I love the pockets on the trousers as well. I would definitely recommend anyone to buy it, oh and it is made from a satin sort of material, which is probably why it's so comfortable.  


My blouse is beautiful as well, it is yellow (which was the colour I was in love with a few years ago before the royal blue colour lol, I had yellow converses, a yellow coat and other things yellow ;) ). However, this top is an old item from River Island, from last years sale, so sorry guys. 


My necklace is from Topshop, which was bought recently but then came on sale so I'm not too sure whether its still available or not. But, guys when buying Topshop necklaces be careful because this one broke by itself and another one of mine just fell off my neck and broke, so I returned that one, but it's generally the ones that are more pricey which break easily, so just a warning. I mean they are stunning just extremely fragile (or not made/ put together well). 




Once again, it's a mix of my indian jewellery :)




Now these shoes I bought last year from Marks and Spencer's, the Autograph label, on sale. Autograph label (I think), is of very good quality, which is why it is so pricey, but I think sometimes it's worth it (although I did buy mine on sale ;) ). These are hands down one of the most comfortable heels I own, even though the heel size is relatively big, it's still comfortable!

Trousers- H & M: They don't have it online, but you could try and check in stores


So, guys I hoped you liked my 'sort of casual' outfit, so do come back for more :D

OOTD: My new jumpsuit!





 
Hi guys, sorry for the late post, since the the day I wore this, just been busy. So, back to business, I'm just going to tell the truth right now lol, this outfit I specifically took the time out to plan and match things because it was meant to be worn for my birthday (so two months ago), but I did not end up going out so that was a failure and since then all these brand new things have just been waiting to be worn lol, I took this opportunity where I went to see my best friend after a very long time to obviously impress her lol (pssshht yeaaahhh right ;) ). Well, you guys know (if you've read a previous post) that I am in love with this colour (like my bowler bag). You can tell I like this colour a lot because this jumpsuit comes in a maroon colour as well (which I do love) but I chose this one. I know its autumn and all, but for me I can wear colour any time of the year ;) Soo I'm just going to go ahead and put up a whole load of pictures because I just want to make sure you can see everything properly lol especially the kimono and shoes :)




Overall, I reallyyyy like this jumpsuit because its quite comfy and I like the way it fits, except for the fact that the shoulders and back kind of fall off me, but thats generally Asos products for me, oh yes I forgot I bought this for only 18 bloody pounds :). So, people like me who need to keep it covered, whilst wearing hijab, jump suits can be quite hard, so that does not mean I necessarily avoid these kind of jumpsuits and look for completely loose ones, because either way a jumpsuit will drape in a way where you will be able to see your bum, however (this is where the incredible Haafsah's advice comes in), I wear something long enough on top to cover my bum, and in this case it was a kimono. 








I absolutely love this kimono! This year, Zara has had lots of kimonos, but this has been my favourite by far. I love the print and the fringing, it's a thumbs up from me.


This is the new necklace I was talking about from my previous post, which my sister bought for me. I love the ethnic vibe to it.




Again just wearing the same jewellery but mixing and matching.



These shoes are beautiful :). Unfortunately this colour sold out (and very fast) but there was a black one available, if there is I will put the link to it below.

And some more pictures...





Ha ha haa, let's just say this is my funny thinking face :D



Smiiiize girls (if you watch ANTM you'll understand lool, mine is sooo unintentional and clearly very bad since sunlight was getting in the way lool).


Jumpsuit- Asos (unfortunately this colour is out of stock but the maroon one is available but at the full price)

Kimono- Zara (my one is out of stock online, but check out the stores, but here is a very similar one from zara and others)

Shoes- Zara (my colour is out of stock )

Necklace: New Look, I can't find it online, so it might just be sold in stores only since its a limited edition piece, well anyways I bought it from Westfield Stratford for £19.99.




Sooo, I hope you guys liked this post and can once again take inspiration, as well as know that you can wear jumpsuits, trust me have a go, because I used to not want to wear them (but this advice only applies to those who don't really wear jumpsuits for whatever reason they have), so good luck :)

OOTD: A day to eat out and relax




Hi guys, I'm on a roll right! Another blog post only a few days later, but it's really because I want to make the most of the time I have until I start uni again. So yesterday, my sister (who also takes my pictures for me using the one and only iPhone 5!) wanted to go to a specific cafe in Baker Street, so we were searching for it everywhere and yes we did get lost and it was bloody freezing and I was going to leave the house with just the cardigan on but my mum did her bengali shouting and I wore my coat as well (I love you mummy :) ). I wore so many layers and yet I was freezing. on top of that we were lost walking around for aaages, but hey it was worth it :) 



As I have said before in a previous blog posts that majority of my maxi skirts are from Asos and this cream one I bought like 3 years ago, which was my first from Asos and I have never regretted it till this day. I'm telling you Asos has the best maxi skirts and of good quality well worth the price. I bought this one for, if I remember correctly, £50, which is quite expensive but it is worth it, trust me! However, this specific one is not available but Asos always brings out new ones and different styles and colours, so keep a look out (because I always check for new maxi skirt, constantly!). This one has beautiful pleats and the way it flows is just stunning. 



As you can see I wore many layers. I realised that it can be a bit weird and hard styling a maxi skirt during the freezing cold, I mean if I were to go to just an aunt's house I wouldn't really care for those couple of minutes that I would be cold and still wear light layers, because I would be in the house for the whole day, but yesterday we were out aaaallll day (for real), so I wore a blouse (as I normally would), then my sisters cardigan, then my coat on top (yet I was still cold :\ ).




If you have read my previous blog posts or follow me on Instagram you'll know that this is a bag I wear constantly and just absolutely love. 



This is one of my most recent jewellery purchases from New Look and I love it soooo much, I actually bought another one from New Look yesterday, well my sister bought me it, which I will show on Instgram and probably in one of my blog posts inshallah.







So we went to this cafe called Monocle Cafe on Baker Street (well somewhere around there) and it was really cute ad a nice quiet area, because I really hate going to busy places with lots of people lol. The majority of things were green tea based, but it was really nice :)




Then we went to west fields and we had a chicken satay burger, which was quite nice as well :) I think you guys should try it out I mean I don't really try out different foods because I'm reallyyyy picky but if you are the type of person to try lots of different things, then this will probably be boring for you ad by the way only the chicken is halal here. 



Sooo, thank you for reading guys and I hope you can take inspiration from this, be sure to come back for more :)
