With this look I went for a 50's look, my hair was curly, at the front, it was big and very full, and you all know, I'm growing my shaved side, so that part was brushed down. *save the planet* but I had to put lots of hair spray to keep my curls from falling, but Nameste sleek shine kept it glossy.

My face I wore Match Master Foundation by Mac, colour 8.0

My lips I wore Gypsy my ELF

I used Rimmel "exaggerate lipliner in some brown colour", My eyebrows were filled in with Sleek brown brow pencil and some gray from Ghosh

I wore Torid busher by NARS and Fashion Fair "golden lights' beauty highlighter.

Styles At The Gym

Before I go into this post, let me just say that the title might be a bit misleading. I am gonna talk about the styles of at the gym, but I want to also blog about one of my pet peeves, and I have a lot of them.

One thing I hate seeing at the gym is camel toe. you don't know what that is?

When, you little lady is drawn into your pants. this happens a lot when you wear tight clothes which is smaller than your size. If you are guilty of such offence shame on you!

I seriously hate it, i think you might as well be naked, I think some people cannot help it. If so is the case wear a longer top, to cover it, don't go around parading you little lady, she is private..

Moving on...

Styles at the gym, what people wear, I don't know about you, but what I have notice in every gym I have been to is that, there is always somebody who is totally over confident about their body. And want to make sure that you know it. Like they come in in these "batty rider" and belly tops. I am just think who are you trying to impress. 

The gym is like the street, you don't show to much at once. Unless you are a "hoochie" (no offence) , you are not going to walk out of your house wearing hot pants and a belly top in stilettos. That just look ho*ish (again no offence)

Image source see what I mean?

I have seen people wear belly tops and shorts at the gym and look decent, but someone, even the way they go on the treadmill, its too seductive an it just looks wrong. (it might be just me)

Then I again I don't think you should go to the gym in an old baggy t-shirt and some old sweat pants. No No... because the way you dress affect your confident, so you should wear something you feel good in. When I wear sweat pants, i will compliment it with a fitted shirt, or wear a baggy top with leggings. 

Even it out so you don't look funny or trying it too much.

The pants is loose but still shows off your bum and the top is fitted enough, so look sexy but not trying too much. However if you have a belly you might need to get a bigger size for the top so that you don't have a bulgy stomach. A lot of people will deny this but if some part of your body is not where it suppose to be, you will feel self conscious and that means you will not like the gym, which is the reason so many people don't work out.

This fitness outfit is super sexy, so if you are a nerve reck I won't advice it. The bottom is fitted and so is the top, showing off your whole figure. If you are in the gym for a great work out, it is totally fine, but you know you get those ones who push their bums in the air when they are on the cross trainer, and do some seductive highly soliciting stretches. 

I usually get my gym clothes from new look or get the label. Dress how you feel, so long you go to the gym to work out and not for any other reason, you will be fine. :)

Any comment??

'I am invincible, Like An Abandoned School I have no Principle'

So, I am always talking about what I would love to have in my wardrobe, but I have never shown you my wardrobe.  So I thought I would do a post on my room and the contents of my room.

This is the wardrobe that carries, My t-shirts and vest top, as you can see I have lots of t-shirts, not all of them fit in there so the most casual ones are packed in a suitcase under neath my bed. Also since its no longer cold, I have retrieved my jumpers and placed them in the same suitcase underneath my bed.

This wardrobe, opposite the t-shirt one carries, my dresses, coats/blazers and other formal wear, mostly church clothes. On top of that i have my shorts and skirts. I keep my jeans in another suitcase under my bed, I have notice they keep breaking my wardrobes, so I try not stuff it.

Over here is my my six shelve unit. Its very cute, its got quotes all around it and inside it.

I keep my books at the top, I read a lot of books, but I only buy ones that I think I will enjoy, when I'm done with a book, I usually put them in my book box, also underneath my bed. The second shelve is some DVD's I love, I have seen these film about 5x each. I also have some CD's and nail polishes, I don't know if you can see them. The third shelve got my perfumes and jewellery, the next shelve got some makeup bags, body spray deodorants, and some body scrubs from The Body Shop. The next  two shelves got my bargains, I used palmers a lot and palmolive bath milk, so when they are on sale, I buy the shop out.

In the corner to your right, Is my coat rail, I forgot to take a picture (just remembered)

These are all my shoes, no where close to Ms Kardashian below, but I am working on it. As you can see some are still in the boxes, some have not even been worn, I don't see how that is possible, but I have my favourites so I wear them out.

My bags, I could not be bothered to get them down and show you them individually but, yeah... I own a lot of handbags, some are in my mums closet because we share some....

Finally my bed and my mac book.. btw, let me introduce you to Moriah, Virgil, and Omarion... yes I said Omarion... lol My three buddies..
I guess I could have made my room neater but heck...
Usually there is a black and white or grey theme going on in my room, but since its a exams month, I am not really bothered.

My wardrobe is diverse, I dress according to my mood, you might see me in 5inch stiletto and tight mini dress and the next day you will see me in jeans and a t-shirt or even shorts with boots and oversize jumper. I don't believe in dress codes, I believe in a style instinct, just do you, as long as you love it and no you look good. After all fashion is about making a statement. So make YOUR statement.

How do you keep your room and store your clothes?

Bold & Beautiful: Leona Lewis

Known for her sultry voice Leona Lewis is often put on the back burner in the fashion stakes, it seems Miss Lewis has upgraded her style with long chocolate tresses, eye grazing fringe and a wardrobe that makes Andy Warhol's colour palette seem dull.

There will be many critics(probably fat, ugly and only friends are ones on Facebook) but i'm loving the new look, the injection of colour instantly demands attention, with 70's inspired bangs Leona is on trend for SS fashion. I feel inspired to follow suit and steal her style. Leona is definitely one to watch!

Ms. Nana Daily Wear

Today I'm wearing, A black mid sleeve top from H&M and thick black tights also from H&M over it I'm wearing a mid-sleeve shirt dress from a little vintage boutique in Central London. I've had this for about 3years so I can't tell you where it is from.

It was forecast to rain today, so I'm wearing my black wellington boots with a gold buckle from TopShop.
To accessories I'm wearing a three piece necklace with the slogan 'Kiss Me Quickly' from top shop, pearl earrings from Dorothy Perking and two gold ring courtesy of my parents.

The look is very casual but as always a little bit edgy. My makeup is very light just a natural shade eye shadow with a little bit of colour at the corner of my eye, some mascara and a bit of blusher. My short/half shaved hair (keri hilson style) is styled as a fringe with big wavy curls.
As always I know, its a good look. :D
