Black~Jumpsuit with a touch of Fur



It's suprising how a primark jumpsuit that cost £5 can look so good and nice on. I had to get this vintage looking jumpsuit as soon as I saw it. Just styled it my fur shrug from h&m and my pair of wedges x

Chick With The Braids

            
Im totally loving long big chunky braids at the moment, you know like the ones Solange has been sporting? I think she is suach a beut and too me she could do no wrong anyways, but i do think this style really does suit her especially with the headwraps she has been wearing them with. Other artists like Erykah Badu has been wearing this look for years and this was a defo nineties thing! However it seems to be making a definate comeback, and i for one is gonna jump on this look very soon! Even Brandy(queen of the braids) has gone back to what she knows. Like they say if it aint broke dont fix it right? xoxo

After university, we decided to do a lil shopping. We had no idea we would get such good buys, but trust me it wasn't easy. It consisted me (Caramel) squeezing into a size 6 pair of shoes that didn't fit me( realising that I am size 7) but at £13.50 it didn't stop from getting them . While on the other hand, ( Coco) it was a tug of war for her to the pair of shoes.... but in the end she was the last girl standing. (Sorry to our lovely friend Aramide Esther) x
