ELLE_UK_May2016_Cover-EMBARGOED

 

Queen Bey is on the cover of Elle UK Magazine May 2016 issue and I am loving it. It feels like I have not see Beyoncé on a magazine cover in ages, so this looks refreshing. I love this Elle cover, simple but striking. I love her messy hair and light makeup, she looks very beautiful in a natural way. The white background also looks really good, this cover will surely catch many eyes on the newsstands.

In her interview with Elle, Beyoncé chats about freedom, feminism, how her new fashion line, Ivy Park, helps women love their bodies, and a lot more. Ivy Park is an active wear & athleisure collection, designed by Beyoncé in collaboration with Topshop. The collection features, flip-over waistband leggings, sport bras, sultry, mesh-accented bodysuits, snapbacks, tracksuits, functional patterned jackets, caps and hair bands. I am sure the fitness and Beyonce lovers cannot wait to get their hands on this collection.

Have a look at some of the pieces from the collection modelled by the Queen herself below and tell me what you think –

This collection will be available from April 14 on Ivypark.com, Topshop, Net-A-Porter and Nordstorm. Prices will be ranging from $30- $200, so fitness lovers, get your bank cards ready.

 

I personally cannot wait to get my hands on this issue. I feel like I need to play catch up with one of my BFFs, lol.. I seriously admire this woman. I love majority of her songs, and music videos, and I hope this new clothing line does really well.

Wedding Gift Ideas

I am a wedding lover, I love romantic happy endings. I find wedding ceremonies so calm and serene, and I can usually feel the love in the air. However most times I struggle to get the perfect wedding gift for couples. I usually never know what else to get, besides a wedding card, even when there is a wedding gift register, which is meant to make the gift buying easier and faster for the guests. Well I sometimes struggle with the same old boring wedding list, and I am sure many of you do too.

The whole idea of getting married to your soul mate is that you do it only once. No one gets married hoping to divorce, so it is very important as guests to get the wedding gifts right. Couples can also get wedding gifts for each other, their parents, and even the bridal train. I remember giving my bridesmaids a set of gold earrings each as a thank you gift, for being the best girlfriends any girl could ever ask for.

I have recently come across an online jewellery gift shop – Eternity Rose, that seems to be the answer to all my wedding gift problems. I am loving the jewellery collection, there seems to be a delicate piece for every woman. I have snooped the site, long and hard, I am lusting over all the delicate beauties and think these below would make the perfect wedding gifts:

 

Red Natural Rose Glazed & Trimmed with 24K Gold 12″ £109

Red is the colour of love, so this radiant red rose would make a perfect wedding gift, especially from the groom to the bride. Imagine waking up to this beauty on your wedding day. I am sure you will cherish it forever. I know I would.

There are different types and colours of roses available on Eternity Rose, from the exquisite 24 karat gold-dipped rose, to the platinum dipped natural rose, to the pink natural rose glazed and trimmed.There is a rose for every woman.

24 Karat Gold-Dipped Vase 6″ £51

When a woman has the perfect rose, she needs the perfect home to keep it safe. That is where this beautiful 24 karat gold-dipped vase comes in. This vase will complement the rose beautifully, and it also comes in pure silver as well. It is the most beautiful flower vase I have ever seen.

White Glazed Rose Earrings in 24K Gold Leaf Style £51

This real 24 karat gold and natural white rose petals earrings is a beauty to behold. This would make a perfect gift from the couple to the bridesmaids, or from the groom to the bride. You can also serve as a ‘thank you’ gift from the couple to the bride/groom’s mother. I find this earrings so pretty.

 

24 Karat Gold-Dipped Poker Cards £129

OOTD: Spring is Here

Outfit Post Image

It is officially spring and I am so looking forward to rocking spring wears this season. I had fun rocking winter fashion, but it felt like it dragged on for so long, and to be honest it still doesn’t quite feel like spring on most days, where I live anyways. So this post is more about me ushering in spring fashion, and hoping the lovely sunshine fills  my window.

This week has been very busy for me,and it is going to get even busier with the short week/Easter holidays coming up. I have quite a few posts I need to get ready before the end of this month, so wish me luck. A lot of writing and scheduling will have to be done, which means multiple daily content for you my dears.

Hello Spring Image

Outfit Post Closet Bolero Lace Jacket

When it comes to spring fashion, I like to layer lightly, just incase it suddenly becomes stupidly cold. For this look, I paired this blue Marchelle Crop Top Jumpsuit I got some months ago with my good old lace bolero and it worked. I felt comfortable all day (travelled down to Essex for a family event), and I looked good, if I may say so myself (wink wink).

Also, for this look I shopped my closet – all pieces were either sent to me or I bought many months or even years ago. The gold lace bolero jacket, I have had for more than 4 years now and it still looks as good as the first day I wore it. That is why buying quality pieces is so very important. When it comes to little things like socks, tights, children’s play clothes and stuff like that, I am happy to buy cheap, but when it comes clothing and accessories, I intend to wear to events and have for years, I like to go for more pricey pieces I like, because they will likely stand the test of time and wash.
