I Like A Woman With A Future And A Past, Little Attitude Problem All Good It'll Make The Shit Last...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
I'm gonna suffer through a whole pint of nasty-ass Guiness later to celebrate!

So a few days ago I mentioned there'd be more on the earrings from my disastrous studio shoot... 

The earrings are from the Etsy shop 1MeNaturally and I was lucky enough to receive 4 pairs.
 As many of you who have blogs will know, sometimes people offer to send you stuff and you're just not feelin' it cos the designs are kinda on the lame side or simply don't fit your personal style. But I really love these earrings, they're all very big and bold with really nice prints so if you're into your accessories, check it out. 

I still haven't had my ears re-pierced so mine are all clip-ons.

Over time i'll feature all 4 pairs but today i'm starting with these gorgeous floral ones...


My beloved '90s Hammer pants...

Lots of hand-on-hip-closed-eyes action today, don't know what got into me, ha...









  • Cheeks- Nars blush in Taj Mahal
  • Lips- Illamasque lipstick in Blaze


What d'you think?? When my student loan drops i'm definitely gonna buy some more of these earrings- I'm always neglecting the accessories side of things. You can also have a browse of the facebook page here if you like.

In unrelated news, I was doing my weekly re-shave of the shaved bits of my hair earlier and accidentally snipped one of my braids off at the back. To make it even I had to shave a couple of my other back braids off too so i'm now working this weird undercut, ha!

Toodles to you bitches xx

Turn Down The Lights, Turn Down The Bed, Turn Down These Voices Inside My Head...

What a day yesterday was!!!... I tried to do my first studio shoot at my friend's uni and well, it just didn't go to plan...

  1. Thanks to my running on Black Time, we arrived at the studios 40 minutes late. The technicians were less than impressed and had given our studio to some lanky group of guys so we ended up having to work in an inferior studio...
  2.  I insisted on having a black background cos you always see studio shots with white backgrounds and I wanted to do something different. Mistake- black hair, black hold-ups and black shoes don't exactly work well against a black background.
  3. We didn't have time to get the lighting right so my skin tone isn't right either (too light in these pics)...

In fact, there were so many problems i'm not even gonna continue rambling on with this list. I'm sure if you're bothering to read this you can sense my frustration. Basically in the end we had less than 30 minutes to actually shoot- against a background that was camouflaging half of my outfit...





I feel like if I had a daytime TV show, this would be the publicity shot, smh...







  • Lace top- Forever 21
  • Sheer skirt- Primarni & DIY
  • Floral shoes- Forever 21
  • Shorts- Cow & DIY
  • Hold ups- Primarni
  • Brogues- Primarni
  • Both sets of earrings- http://www.etsy.com/shop/1menaturally - MORE ON THESE FAB EARRINGS IN A LATER POST!! 


  • Lips- Illamasque lipstick in Pristine

... So yeah, working the gormless/cheesy look like a pro. The only thing I like is how my lace top photographed. Can't say i'm a fan of the studio experience but i'll probably give it another go...

The moral of the story is, whatever your racial background, leave Black Time for church events and going to the gym.

Toodles to you bitches xx
