Good evening Little Ones! While my rock-cakes are sitting in the oven, I thought that I would cuddle up to my computer and write a classical blog post.
Although, I'm keeping on the abstract trend, meaning what you are about to read, you've never seen before, (on this blog anyway). It'll consist of me showcasing three different outfits for the winter season, I LOVED doing this, but at first I was extremely anxious. A LOT of patience went into this piece of work,  and I'm ever so grateful for my photographer.
Now enough typing, roll on the montage!

OUTFIT ONE | COMFY CASUAL |:

 

WHAT I'M WEARING:

• Zara cardigan-size 8 
• Zara stripy cropped jumper-size 6
• Nike dri-fit running legging-size 6
• Adidas Originals XPLR RK-Junior size 4

Firstly, I'm all about the comfy lifestyle, 50% of the time, you will catch me wearing leggings with something oversized. But I would like to think it looks stylish? Anyhow, I love the stripes, it adds depth to the outfit, brings it to life ... Otherwise I'll look like a small bin-bag. Whereas my shoes were a recent purchase for my old job, I was on my feet 24/7, so I decided to pick up some new footwear, let's be real, wearing brogues wasn't cutting it. I even managed to save 50%, due to the fact I have tiny feet and can still get away from shopping in the junior section ... Don't judge!
Alongside, I paired these with my beloved Nike dri-fit leggings, I've had these for around a year? And I still love them to death! They are super comfy, durable and go with anything, I wore these on my 20th birthday and paired it with a lacy top; no one even noticed! (Or they did, and didn't want to call me out).
With this sort of outfit, I don't have a care in the world, it's super casual, rock it around town, food-shopping, or a movie day. It's perfect for winter, as the jumper keeps all my heat in, while giving me some character. As the old saying goes, black does go with anything, and it keeps you toasty, (absorbing all the heat). Lastly, you can mix this up with anything, so if you are in a rush, bish-bash-bosh, and you are out the door. 

OUTFIT TWO | SMART CASUAL |:

WHAT I'M WEARING:

• Topshop stripy blazer
• Topshop orange cami
• Levi navy 721 High Rise Skinny
• Clark leather boot heels

Now, the other 50% I'm wearing something like this ... What can I say, I love my Levi jeans, and blazers, it's my stable look, and I rock it. Anything bad about that? Now, time to deconstruct this masterpiece, overall looking at this outfit, I managed to not only interject a flash of colour, but pattern.
I could have gone plain everywhere, but that's a massive no in my book, NEVER go plain, and NEVER go all pattern ... Just no. The plain aspects of this outfit, would be my black Clark boots, Levi jeans, and orange cami shirt. All which coincide with one another, the shoes are so comfy, which you wouldn't think with a heal, but I can go 6 hours plus with these bad-boys. Again, my jeans I've had for a year, and I'm obsessed with them, in my opinion they look better worn in,m when they look brand new, they are too pristine.
As for my top, it's too cold to wear without anything attached, which is why I paired it with my stripy blazer, it really ties the look together, and because it's a dark colour it goes with pretty much everything. This is something I would wear if I was meeting one of my friends, or just wanted to dress up a bit while visiting Starbucks; it's perfect for a little glam, without having to spend hours on planning an outfit. 

OUTFIT THREE | GOING OUT |:

WHAT I'M WEARING:

• Asos black lacy shirt-tall collection
• Levi black 721 high rise skinny 
• Asos triangle black bra
• New look lace stilettos

Now, this is something I don't throw on often, it's how my outfits would look if I was to go on a night out. It's sexy, without showing everyone I have a vigina, I personally don't feel comfortable wearing exceedingly short skirts, or dresses ... Not to be frowned upon, I admire their confidence, I just haven't got there yet. Yes, it's all black, no surprise there, but black worn in the right environment is perfect, plus it looks great! So flattering and endearing, EVERYONE looks good in black. The shirt is something I normally wouldn't go for, initially when I saw it online I didn't think it would suit me ... Me and thrills don't get on, but in this case, I love the originality, and stepping out of my comfort zone boosted my confidence. I paired this with my black Levi jeans, as they are tight fitted, which shows off my legs, but is slightly hidden by the sheer shirt; which introduces a mystery element.
To tie this look together, I added lace boots, which looks magnificent, and I didn't pay an extortionate amount of money, they were from New Look! All in all, I really love this outfit, and I can't wait to put this to the test on my 21st Birthday in February. 

This is is Little Ones! I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Being behind the scenes and knowing how much hard work went into this was beyond amazing. I defiantly will be doing more of these! Not on a regular basis, but coincided with the seasons throughout the year. Although if you want occasional ideas for: Birthday, Christening, or baby shower, let me see what I can throw together. 

Anyhow, I'm heading off to edit a video! I love you all so very much, and I will see you again tomorrow with a life update!

Remember to stay safe and stay tuned! :) x x x

Good evening lovely people! How has your day been today? I was at my EE training, final day tomorrow, I'll be sad to see everyone go; but they have a future in front of them :). It also means that I have more time to write blog posts; which feel me with such excitement and happiness! I'm sorry that I've only been posting one a day, I need to try and make it back to 2 or 3; but it's been a hectic week; I hope you understand.
Any who, it sprug to mind, that some people have no idea what to buy for other people when it comes to: Birthday's anniversaries, Christmas etc. I have always been known for buying good presents, it's my boyfriend's brothers Birthday soon and he had no idea what to buy him; until I told him, God damn for him stealing my idea. But I just thought that this would be great advice for everyone that struggles to buy for people.
I'm here to break it down and make it simple! If you want to learn some tips and tricks have a little read down below; I hope you enjoy and find it helpful :).

Make it personal:

Fundamentally, before I buy anything I create a brainstorm of what they like and what that particular gift would mean to them. For example, in terms of my bestfriend Eisha, I would put her name in the middle, and branch off what she likes, what we have done together, her favourite food etc. From this you get a deeper analysis of what you can buy. 

In my perspective I have always bought presents which is sentimental and personal for them, simply because it shows that not only do you care, not only do you know them well; but you have put the time and effort into something which didn't need to be so special. I'm not saying that it needs to be extravagant, but going the extra mile does show that you care. 

An example of making it personal would be: 

DIY. Nothing shows more care and appreciation then crafting something with your bare hands. It can be anything ranging from:

• Tie-Dye clothing;
• candles;
• painting, drawing, sculpting;
• photo-book

These are just a few ideas, you don't have to use these, it's just for inspiration :).

In my opinion, one DIY present that worked really well for me was the photo-book, I made a scrapbook for dear friend of mine, pictures, quotes, films, food etc. Were all in this book, unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the finial product because this was a few years ago, but it will filled to the brim with years of friendship. 

On the other hand, in regards to about them, you need to make sure that you have everything down. I use their hobbies and what they have always wanted as an immediate guideline. For example, it's my boyfriend's brothers Birthday soon. He loves football, Tottenham and Barcelona, as well as other sports, gaming etc. I thought that it would be fantastic to get Chris (my boyfriend) to buy him a Barcelona shirt, simply because Sam has wanted this for years; I still can't believe Chis never thought of this! Whereas I thought that it would be great to buy a new trendy sports bag for School; he SERIOUSLY needs one! Ia addition to this my next point is :

Look for what they need

I sure as hell used this on my boyfriend for Christmas, like his brother he needed a new bag, apart from that I bought him: Levi jeans, chocolates, fragrance etc. I showered him with gifts, because it made me happy to see him pleased; and because I really wanted to.
Use this tip when buying for somebody, because they will really love that you have purchased something that they need; they then don't have to buy it! I love these, if not they are my favourite presents to receive in my opinion :).

This is the end of my blog post, thank you for reading and I hope that this has helped you in some way shape and form :).

Hello my lovely Little ones! How have you been today? The weather in the UK has been beautiful! Sun all around. I have another vegan recipe for you, I hope you enjoy. If you want to find out how to make this meal, scoot your eyes below and have a little read:).

You can check out my other pasta recipe click here!

Ingredients:

• 100 grams of freefrom pasta, I used 50 grams of penne and 50 grams of rotini, simply because I was running low on the two and had to merge two together;
• Freefrom red pesto sauce;
• 25 grams of peas;
• 1 shallot;
• 1 garlic glove; 
• chopped up coriander (optional);
• salt and pepper;
• extra virgin olive oil.
• chili powder

Keep in mind, when cooking the pasta it can go from really hard to soft in minutes! So when you think it's nearly done to your required texture keep a close eye on it :). 

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

1. Boil 300ml of water and place into a medium pan, sprinkle salt and pepper and stir;
2. put the pasta into the pot and stir; cook for 5-7 minutes;
3. prepare the vegetables; cut up your shallots and garlic and place into a pan with extra virgin olive oil; along with the peas. Cook for 3 minutes;
4. put chili powder in the vegetable mix and stir;
5. drain the pasta and place back into the same pan;
6. pour the vegetable mixture with the pasta and stir;
7. add the red pesto sauce and stir; let it heat up for 2 minutes; 
8. plate up and sprinkle the coriander on top;
9. ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients? 

Pesto:

Pesto is enriched with vitamins A and C, this helps boost your immune system, this will help fight infection, while keeping you fit and healthy. Whereas vitamin A is good is amazing for you eye health; it makes them stronger as well as being a great antioxidant.

Parsley:
Parsley has a huge amount of vitamin K, this helps builds bones and heals heart disease. in addition to this, parsley also has vitamin A, which as we already know is great for our eyes, and acts as a fantastic antioxidant.

Garlic:
Depending on how we prepare our garlic depends on how much nutrients we get out of it; this is why I have suggested either: cutting or crushing. This increases the enzymes within the garlic, these enzymes can prevent cancer.
