Loving: Tapered leg trousers and Ankle Strap Sandals

Forget boho maxi dresses, it's all about the sophisticated look for me this Summer! 

(Well in the evenings anyways.)

I'm really into the polished look this year and I cannot wait to start building my trouser collection. Although I'm not normally into trousers, (I'm more of a leggings or tea dress type of gal) for some reason I'm really feeling the whole trendy chic vibe that a pair of tailored trousers and simple heeled sandals provide and I love how they come in zany prints and patterns.

 I will be pairing these looks with a plain vest and oversized cat-eye shades for the perfect summer ensemble.

What will you be wearing this Summer?

My obsession with make-up has reached disturbing new heights! 

I have never really been much of a make-up person till recently. I have now become absolutely besotted with it and find myself spending longer and longer perfecting my everyday face each morning. 

I just love how you can define and minimise your features with just a few strokes of the brush.

Anyways, here's a closer look at what I have been purchasing lately.

1. Maybelline Mineral Power Foundation (dark)  2.Mac Mineralize Skin Finish (gold deposit) 3.NYX concealer in a Jar (nutmeg) 4. Loreal True Match Foundation (cappuccino).

Simply nude: NOTD

It's been a while since I last did a nail of the day post so I thought I'd share what I'm rocking on my nails at the moment.

5 reasons why I'm transitioning

It is official. 

I AM TRANSITIONING!

I've spent the last 2 months in hair limbo debating what I as going to do with my manic mane and at last I have decided that I will be going through with growing out my relaxed tresses.

As said in a previous post, I WILL NOT become a die hard naturalista aka a natural nazi bashing my relaxed sisters, but I will be documenting my hair journey to natural, sharing good techniques and/or info whenever I can.

My last relaxer was on the 1st of November 2012 so I am already 6 months post relaxer with a significant amount of newgrowth. The decision to stop relaxing was not an easy one (trust me) so I thought I'd share with you some of my reasons for deciding to embrace my God given locks.

A bit of a babble

I just realised that it's been a month exactly since I blogged last so I thought I'd do a quick update on what has been going on with me since I last blogged.

British Plus Size Weekend

Has any other mother blogger noticed that the kiddies are miraculously ill when you've got your heart set on attending an event? Lol! That's what happened this past weekend and due to this random, bout of sickness, I was unable to attend the British Plus Size Weekened which I was gutted about since it was the one event that I've been looking forward to during London Fashion Week.

Luckily it wasn't all doom and gloom and I was able to get my hands on some exclusive pictures by S L Expressions and my boy is fighting fit so I'm all cheered up again!

"No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up."

This may strike you as a bit of a random post but I really wanted to start sharing a bit more of my life with you guys.

Last Saturday one of my really good friends Lucy had a fancy dress party for her 30th birthday. 

I'm ashamed to admit this, but it was actually my first ever fancy dress party.

Yes, I managed to make it to 25 without ever getting dressed up in a costume!

 I can actually imagine the shock and horror on some of your faces right now Lol.
