Kendall Jenner for Genlux Magazine

I am completely in love with Kendall Jenner's photoshoot for Genlux magazine. I love how she has completely broken away from the current Kardashian sex-bomb image and has entered the world of high fashion.
I simply adore the cover of the magazine, her eyes seem to just stare into my soul!









UK September Issue Round up

The time has arrived, the September issues have been released. Are you ready?
I tell you what, I was so excited to see what stops VOGUE and ELLE pulled out but I was bitterly disappointed.
The covers were bland and the content wasn't fascinating and didn't tell me anything I didn't know. I was looking forward to revolutionary new content and experienced writers yet the writing came across as informal and basic. 
However, I did prefer the ELLE UK September issue over the VOGUE UK issue although that may be because I prefer Rosie Huntington-Whitely to Karlie Kloss. 







Androgynous chic is very much in this season but the extent in which you choose to take the trend is dependent on the individual. For instance, some may be able to pull off the whole look including oxfords, button down shirts and bow ties where as others may only be able to wear a simple blazer with jeans. I know for sure that I will definitely be investing in a simple boy blazer sometime soon. 

Lace Lullabies

{I really adore this lace jumper I bought in Indigo recently. It is so comfy and really makes my look more carefree}



I absolutely adore lace at the moment and it definitely dresses up the simple denim skirt that I paired it with.

Sorry for the short post but let me know your thoughts on the ensemble and please do leave your suggestions on other ways that I can wear the lace jumper!

Mocktail Madness

Today I attended a cooking class specialising in mocktails! I had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the opportunity to make some yummy and healthy drinks! I'm not entirely sure how they are mocktails as none of them are the classics; most of them are more like smoothies. 
The class was taught by a lovely bartender who even gave us tips on making them cocktails!  Needless to say that all of these mocktails are delicious yet so simple.

Flirty Summer Dresses

 During my recent trip to Singapore I was fortunate to stumble across these great dresses in Dorothy Perkins.

 {I know the blue dress is quite formal but it would be perfect for any school Conferences that I attend. I was inspired by Kim Kardashian to try a dress with a flare which she often wears, simply because I have a curvaceous figure similar to hers!}
 {The shoes are from New Look}
{This dress is so flirty and fun; perfect for summer especially as it is cool to wear}



Do you have any thoughts on styling these dresses?

Floral Freedom

Unfortunately this is my last day in Singapore meaning that I spent the day frantically running in and out of malls buying clothes and birthday presents! Needless to say, my feet are covered in blisters and I am ready for my own bed.
However, early this morning I took a walk in the beautiful botanical gardens which sport the most amazing flora and really provide an unique insight the natural beauty that we are spoilt with in the tropics; you almost forget that you are in the centre of a busy city!

Millie Mackintosh for Lipsy's VIP Collection

I simply adore Miss Mackintosh on a whole and I was overjoyed when I realised that she was to be the face of Lipsy's VIP Collection! What better advertising to have than an actual VIP as the face of the collection!
According to Lipsy, the 17-piece collection has been designed to suit every figure and style whilst still reflecting the latest styles.

The images from the line are as below:

I completely adore all the styled outfits and love Millie, however I absolutely despise that pout she wears in every single photo. I can't stand it and am actually surprised that a Lipsy representative hadn't picked up on it sooner!

Whats great about this collection is that it is so classy yet everything is under £200 which is great!

Let me know some of your thoughts in the comment box below :)

Mani Monday: Patriotic Nails

As everyone is aware, the Olympics are currently taking place and have been for the last three weeks. 
As a huge athletics and swimming fan, I have noticed that many of the female athletes have been rocking amazing patriotic nail art!
These nails are absolutely amazing and they include flags to the Olympic rings. This nail art idea has become so popular that nail art booths have been popping up all over the Olympic village allowing both athletes and the audience to join in with the fun.

Here are some of my favourite nail designs:
