Monday Brief #14

Monday Ready!

Happy Monday Everyone! I am feeling particularly inspired this week because I spent my Saturday at the Career Girl Academy run by the boss babes at Career Girl Daily! It was such an amazing day full of so much inspiration from all the speakers who came in! I learnt SO much about blogging and I cannot wait to put all my new ideas into action! If you guys are interested, you can actually still buy digital tickets and they will be streaming the whole day for you to watch from home! It’s definitely worth it – I learnt so much from all the amazing talks! (Plus then you can hear me ask my questions too haha!)

Other than my amazing day at Career Girl Daily, I got to do some work on a content creation front for a very cool new make up brush company coming up called Loella! Go check them out here. In case you missed it, I covered the biggest handbag trend of 2017 and how you can wear it right here, and I also shared some of my musings on feminism here!

I love this body suit from Alix. I actually have it in an emerald green but I wanted to share this with you guys anyway because it’s one of the best fitting shirts I have and is the most amazing quality.

I’ve fallen in love with this Self Portrait top that I wore to PFW and so many of you have asked about it so you should also be adding it to your closets!

This is one of my favourite everyday lipsticks and is one of the few lipsticks I buy over and over again! The colour is fabulous and I love that it comes with a lip pencil on one side and the lipstick on the other!

Monday Update: Milan Fashion Week Edition

Monday, MFW Version

Monday could not be gloomier right now. The rain has been pouring down ruining my shoot schedule but luckily I have other things to look forward to this week! (But seriously, spring where are you?) With fashion month more than halfway through I’ve been loving the beautiful new collections. I was so excited to be able to attend my first ever LFW which you can read all about here! I’ve been keeping track of the Milan collections on my Pinterest! You can have a look at them here and see my favourite looks: see the looks on my Pinterest!

This Past Week

Since this Monday update is focused on MFW, I’ve covered some of my favourite collections from the past week that you may have missed over the weekend. Keep scrolling to see them all and some of my trend observations! What has been your favourite so far? Do we share any favourites?

I loved the Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini collection, it was feminine with the right touch of edge which I just adore! I also fell hard for the Attico collection – I’m a huge Attico fan! Also it’s no surprise that I love the Gucci collection. We all know that I have a massive soft spot for the brand and their runway was just so crazy creative!

My other favourites included Fay, Fendi, Max Mara, Prada and Bottega Veneta.

Monday Brief #6

Monday?Mondaze…

Happy Monday! When I woke up this morning the sun was actually shining, which is a first in a long time. False promise or not, I’m hoping that the arrival of spring is imminent, like 20 days or less kind of vibe. It’s also the beginning of fashion month this week, which means a lot of new collections, trends, new designers at the helms of labels and countless of inspiration through all the street style! Are you excited?

This Past Week

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the new Furla store opening on Brompton Road! The event was held by Grazia and Furla together and really was a beautiful night! I got to sport this adorable little Furla bag to the event and will be posting more about it on here very soon! I also tried an amazing new website this week called Fucina! It’s Italian food and their truffle pizza is worth every drop of oil and calorie consumed….Trust me, for me to say that, it must be good. How can anyone say no to Truffle pizza?

Monday Brief #2

And another Monday….

Hello from very sunny, humid and tropical Mumbai! It’s been such a nice week to be back where I grew up, spending time with family, old friends and of course checking out all the awesome spots! (I’m going to have a post about all my favourite spots in Bombay super soon! Stay tuned!)

This Past Week…

I flew to India and landed in to Mumbai (I still call it Bombay though..) on Tuesday! The weather is such a pleasant change from the intense cold of London and I am just loving being able to wear shorts again. I’ve been getting so much love from you guys about my outfits this past week in India and I’m going to do a round up of what I have been wearing tomorrow! (Stay tuned!)

Highlight of the week: I had the opportunity to also meet one of my favourite designers, Naresh from the duo: Shivan & Naresh, and go through their new collection with him!

Other than eating home food (Oh my God… so much butter chicken you guys…) I’ve been doing a little bit of shopping (of course!) and have found the cutest stores for everyone to check out if they are every here – in fact a lot of these stores ship internationally so going to be covering this in a post too! My dear friend also opened his new cafe, Port, which has some of the best coffee in Bombay and the most amazing Nutella cookies!

Speaking about travelling, I recently did a post all about how to pack your carry on in the most efficent and stylish way! Don’t forget to read about it here. If you’re still trying to find somewhere to get some Christmas presents, don’t worry I’ve got some great gift guides here, here, here and here!

Guys do I really need to say it? It’s CHRISTMAS TIME! I hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit and I have lots of super fun christmas and holiday parties to attend! Keep up with me on my Instagram!

New in this Week…

This week I am obsessed with this beautiful skirt from Deme by Gabriella (which is currently being altered for me! Woohoo!) The colour is so flattering and easy to wear whenever! I am also obsessed with this swimsuit from Shivan and Naresh – It is never too early to start buying swimsuits so get one that you know everyone else won’t have! I actually got this one in a beautiful blue! Last but not least, cannot resist a gorgeous printed dress, like this one from Monisha Jaising.

On the Wishlist..

In celebration of Pantone’s colour of the year (What do you guys think of the choice?) I’m waiting to get my hands on these amazing sunglasses from Sunday Somewhere! I am also loving this beautiful dress – so perfect for when the weather get’s warmer! Lastly, I am loving these earrings! Such flair!

Monday Brief #1

So, What’s been up?

Monday, or rather mondaze… It’s by far the hardest day of the week to get yourself up and going but it’s also the best time to set new goals and start fresh! So, as a part of my newest series, I’ll be sharing a little bit of fun every Monday with you in the form of my Monday update!

This Past Week…

Last week I actually had a lot of great things planned. I got to attend the Chloe Digital party for their official expansion into the UK, as well as their second birthday! I’ve had the pleasure to work with them for the last month and I have loved every minute of it so it was amazing to meet everyone in person! A lot of you shared your love for this top that I was wearing which is from Maje! You can get a similar one here and a similar jumpsuit version here. My case is from Uprosa (makes a great gift – it’s under £20!) which you can also get here. I also went ice skating at the Natural History Museum over the weekend, for the first time in.. almost 8 years! I only fell once but managed to get the hang of it after a while! I think it’s one of my favourite things to do now.. plus it’s a great work out.

Speaking of work outs, I got to share my favourite gym essentials with you as well as tips for making it to the gym when it’s freezing outside! Read about it here if you missed it! I also shared one of my favourite looks with you here, and a fabulous gift guide for the techie in your life here!

This Upcoming Week…

I’ve got a bit of packing to do this week as I have my Christmas trip coming up super soon! Any guesses where I’m off too? I’ve also got a fabulous event with Dash_ coming up and I can’t wait to see what that’s going to involve! I recently had a chance to see their clothes and I love them already! I’m also doing a Secret Santa with my favourite girls so I cannot wait to give my present!

New In This Week…

This week, I am totally obsessed with my Gisou heat protector spray. It smells amazing and I really see the difference in my hair when I use it – it’s not as dry and it feels so soft no matter how many times I curl/blow dry! I am also loving my new Kapten & Sons watch – It’s a great one to have for everyday and it even matches with everything! Last but not least, my new jeans from Sun in Bergen have a layer of fleece on the inside (Yes, you read that right..) which keeps me super duper warm and I can wear my skinny jeans too! It’s a win win.
