OOTD: Gucci Birthday Present

I took these photos while holidaying in Milan in January for my birthday. It was a lovely day, we were on our way to the shops when I decided to pose for the camera for Fashion and Style Police.

I got this Gucci GG Marmont Matelasse shoulder bag on my birthday as a present to myself, and I adore it. It is my first Gucci bag and currently the most expensive bag in my collection. I am very happy I have gotten to a point in my life where I can spoil myself every once in a while. I have always admired Gucci bags and always wanted one. So it felt insanely good to grab this beauty. Plus I like the new Gucci logo!

This beauty would be my travel companion. I like to travel with shoulder cross body bags so I have my hands free to grab my toddlers. And so I don’t worry about losing my bag or its contents to pick pockets. Only a crazy person would try to rob a bag across my shoulder, in front of me!

It is also a great accessory for days out, and when I can’t be bothered with my regular big handbags.

Shopping in a Gucci store in Milan felt good. Like all the other luxury shops, the attention you get from the staff is so amazing. The shop was so beautiful and the service I got was great. I felt like a real life princess.

The berry jumper I have on is also new. It was one of my birthday presents. I felt so warm inside it, and I love the unique tie cuff design. It is one of my favourite knit pieces this season.

12 Favourite Looks in 2016

I can’t believe I am writing this post so soon but whether we like it or not, 2016 officially ends in a few days. It has been an amazing year all around for myself, my family and Fashion and Style Police. I am eager to end it to be honest, and get on with 2017, with the hope that it would be an even better year.

My style was featured heavily on the blog this year. I am a fashion lover so it is natural for me to showcase my style as I dish out fashion tips and tricks. It was difficult for me to select my favourite looks because I love all of them but I had to pick my best 12 looks in 2016. Here they are  –

 

Bare Legs

This is one of my favourite looks of 2016 because I got to show off my legs on a chilly January day and it was a success!

I didn’t want to ruin the look with a pair of tights so I decided to brave it and I killed it!

 

How to Wear Leather Leggings

I really like this look. I remember it being so easy to style. Every piece fell into place. I can see myself rocking this entire look again.

 

Hello March

 

Charlotte's Web Outfit Image

 

This is another favourite look of 2016. This outfit is everything in my eyes. I think I looked super stylish. That Sari Kaftan top is definitely a winner. I wear it a lot.

 

Back to the Roots

 

African Fashion Image

 

This outfit was inspired by my African roots and I love it. The African print skirt is one of my summer favourites. Like the others, I found this look also very easy to style.

 

How to Style a Black Dress

This black dress was one of my spring/summer favourites. It was super easy to style as you can imagine and it is a very comfy piece. I am super in love with it.

 

Colour Me Beautiful

This outfit was one of the most colourful outfits featured on Fashion and Style Police this year and it is also one of my favourite looks of the year. I love the colurful summer dress and everything else I have on, from head to toe.

 

A Summer Dress

Summer was an amazing fashion season for me. Looking back now, I had my fashion game so on point. This makes me wonder why I am so lazy this winter as far as outfits are concerned. I think my fashion mojo is kind of tied to various seasons which is weird because this layering season is my favourite fashion season but all I want to do is stay under my duvet.

This amazing summer dress look speaks for itself. I adore this look.

 

Casual Day Wear Look

Another summer look I love. I love the styling game here. Definitely one ne of my favourite summer looks of 2016. And the sandals are bang on trend.

I remember rocking this outfit to a summer BBQ and feeling good. The coral top was very stylish and comfy. I can’t wait to wear it next summer.

 

Style Comfort Zone

I thought this outfit would be one of “those ones”, the ones I have to style because I was sent a secret item I won’t have picked myself but have to feature on the blog because I am good like that. Well I was pleasantly surprised to see how stunning the outfit turned out. I love the look.

 

Styling a White Shirt

I love this look. I really really love it. It has a special place in my heart because it holds so many amazing memories of open doors for Fashion and Style Police. And styling it was dead easy for me too.

 

A Digital Nomad

And the last but definitely not the least is my latest outfit – A Digital Nomad.

This look is so me. It is how you would see me on a regular winter day and I am very happy to read the comments; many of my readers are able to relate with the look.

 

So there you have them. My favourite looks of 2016. It has been fun. I can’t wait to show you what I have ready for 2017.

OOTD: Summer Fashion

River Island Outfit Image

I am still making the most of summer fashion. I can smell autumn but the sun is still out on most days thankfully, so I am still rocking my summer wardrobe. I love summer fashion so much. It is so vibrant and full of life, it ia hard not to love. I particularly love the bright coloured pieces and accessories. They make me feel alive and ready to take on the world.

I never wore much colour back in my teen years. You would only catch me in monochrome pieces 99% of the time. Maybe it had to do with hormones or me finding myself but I am happy I now wear some colour. It is a lot more fun to dress up now.

I wore this outfit some days ago. I have not worn a pair of jeans in weeks because of how warm it has been (I get really hot in jeans), so I was happy to get into my good old Molly jeans.

The coral top is a new addition to my wardrobe. I love the colour and the design of the top. It feels amazing and it looks great. I will be wearing this beauty in many summers to come.

This beautiful sparkly nude leather embellished summer sandals is also a new addition to my summer wardrobe. I love how sparkly and comfortable it is. I am hardly in flats these days but this beauty right here is definitely a keeper.

Overall, I was really happy with this look. And I am also very pleased with my new hair. I am rocking the straight long hair look this August, and I like it.
