Tadashi Shoji

Tadashi Shoji is a designer from Japan who had his breakthrough in LA. I've never seen any of his clothes before and thought this was an up-and-comer until I realised they just celebrated their 30th anniversary.

These gowns, 2-pieces and cocktail dresses are as you can see gorgeous and they are not even that expensive! Prices lie between $500-$800, which is almost what I spent on my (oh so ugly) prom dress when I was 15. And that was a rental!

Bomber

Carin Wester

Spring is here! In London anyways. And I want a new jacket. 

I think I want a silky or oversized bomber... Not the classic style but something a little bit more exciting. I loooove the two from Filippa K and Carin Wester (both Swedish brands) but the first one is sold out everywhere since it's last season, and the other one I'm not sure will suit me. I think it only looks that long and loose because the girl wearing it is so skinny.

The beige one I found on ASOS and I really do like it. I'm scared it will look more beige in real life though, I want it to be a pale colour like in the picture. And out of personal experience, the pictures on ASOS website seldom reflects how the clothes look in real life.....

The Victoria Beckham Clutch

I've been looking at these babies from Victoria Beckham lately. I think a nice clutch is a must have, it's hard to find a good one though. A black one will obviously match any outfit but on the other hand, for us wearing a lot of black a dash of colour is always nice.

I like these once because they're clean and just the right size. The large one is the size of an iPad and the small one slightly smaller. These are both from the SS15 collection and are called small/large zip pouch in buffalo and calf-leather.

     

Large £425

Small £350

My personal favourite!

Raspberry Ketones

I ordered mine online, here!

I heard about these diet pills a few months back and when I saw them at Holland & Barrett I thought I'd give it a go. I'm trying to go to the gym 3 times a week but I rarely have the time or the energy to go, you know how it is..... I'm all about eating healthy and exercising but if swallowing a pill can make me beach-ready I'm all up for it!!

Of course no pill is a miracle pill I am being realistic about it, but I do think these work. They make you feel a lot fuller than usual and makes you kind of loose your appetite for eating (sounds sad I know). This is great for me since when I for example cook something that will "last a whole weeeeek" I end up eating it all the same day haha..

Anyhow, I've only been on these for a couple of weeks so I'm gonna carry on and give you an update at a later date. These 500mg pills are only to be taken once a day, while there are weaker Raspberry Ketone pills that are supposed to be taken twice a day. I went for the strong shit!

Sneakersss

Adidas Stan Smith's, Superga Bordoux, Converse All White, Nike Air Force 1 Low, Converse Low White  (used to be..)

The past year has really been the year of the sneaker for me. Or trainers as Lloyd would correct me (American vs. British English..). I've always been a Converse girl and I buy a fresh pair of white ones every spring. Let's face it, they look good on anyone and they're bloody comfy as well.

I've never really cheated on my Converses until last year because I've always felt that any other shoe would look like bricks on my gigantic feet (Size 7). But then I realised - who the fuck cares if my feet look big? They ARE big. But I'm tall and I kind of don't wanna be a size 3 anyways, I'd fall over if it was windy...

I don't like it when my shoes get dirty so I often spend my (paid) time at work cleaning them with a linen napkin, sorry boss but it has to be done. And I don't have any clean, pressed, expensive linen napkins at home to use ;)

On the wish list - Nike Thea Womens in Black & White

Style icon

Nicole Richie has been a style icon of mine for ages. She just look so sexy and elegant no matter what she wears. I mean come on, who the fuck looks that hot in green hair?! I personally loved her purple hair as well, I think she looked amazing. How does she not look like an emo?

I've never tried to imitate her style though cause she is, as you all can see with you own eyes, skin and bones. At some point in my life I just had to realise that I have tits and ass and it's just to embrace it. I try to wear clothes that suit my body type, as should eeeeveryone else. Obviously there's loads of fashion that I love but that doesn't mean I should wear it. I think that's a good reminder for everyone, just because something looks good on someone else doesn't necessarily mean that it will look good on you.. The sooner you realise that the sooner you'll look your best. HASHTAG INSPO HASHTAG QUOTEOFTHEDAY. Sorry don't mean to sound so pretentious.

Anyhow, here are some of my favourite looks!

Enjoy:

Oh, and by the way. CAN YOU REMEMBER THIS?! The simple life with Paris Hilton? Talk about improvement...

Sushi & studies

Aaah so tired but so busy..

I was working 9-18 today and had to go straight home to study. Red bull and coffee all the way. I have a deadline for a 3000 word report in International Marketing tomorrow that I'm not even close to have finished. Since marketing is what I want to work with after graduating, hopefully at a multinational company, a top grade in this module wouldn't be too bad of a start.. I'm writing about Abercrombie & Fitch (not by choice, I hate A&F) and how their marketing strategies should look like when moving from the home US market into the European market. Thought you were eager to know!

I treated myself to some sushi on my way home from the Hare & Tortoise. Thought I'd save myself some precious time since I didn't have to go home and waste time cooking. Ended up eating sushi in front of an episode of Vikings and then fell asleep for 1,5 hours. Great.

Always ask for EXTRA ginger, best part!
