YOU ARE ENOUGH








The best month of the year has started, the greatest season of the year has begun...

Welcome to AUGUST aka LEO SEASON (Virgos who??)

haha, but yasszz i'm just stopping by for a quick outfit post. *waves*


I also wanted to remind you that you are PERFECT!
There is no need to do extraaa things to please
others because you are brilliant at just being you.
If you've got to make changes to be accepted by something or someone then just leave it alone.
Don't lose yourself


do it for
you and
not for
them.

Independent woman






As we go through life we are expected to become more independent. We reach a time where we have to start making our own meals, pay bills (lol that rhymed) and ultimately become self-reliant. But lets be honest, not everyone has the ability to be independent or rather the mindset to take the step into independence. Below I have listed a few reasons why you should try to become more of an independent women.

Independence promotes happiness. Emotional independence improves your relations with the people around you. It helps you to interact with them better as you become more in control of your emotions. It will ultimately bring out the best in you leading to a happier YOU

Need a confidence boost? The fact that you're more likely to take matters into your own hands without having to wait for others means you will be more likely to try out new things. You will eventually start taking bigger risks leading to bigger rewards. Go youuuu!

It decreases the the load of others. If you're capable of meeting your own needs, the pressure you put on others will lessen. Friends, family and colleagues will eventually begin to notice and possibly trust you enough to seek your assistance *taps head like the roll safe meme* 

The rewards are better! Yes, you heard it here first. If your goal is to become independent in some way then you will get a sense of accomplishment when you do so. Financial independence is a goal for many of us, right? Whats better than not having to answer to anybody, being debt free and in control. Emotional independence can also bring you less disappointment. I'll take one of those, thanks.


 Remember ladies, learning how to support yourself is necessary for any success you ever hope to achieve. Hopefully we can all become so comfortable in ourselves that we take the right steps to take charge of our lives and do whats best for us.

Distressed clothing has been one hell of a trend this year.
I know it's been a hit for some of y'all since forever *coughs, looks away*

 The most popular distressed clothing being the rock band tee's and denim, of course! You can find them on almost every high street and online store.


I recently made my own distressed t-shirt and decided to make a mini tutorial as its the easiest thing ever (save some coins & look bomb.com,why not?!) It took me maximum 30 minutes from start to finish and all items can definitely be found at home.






YOU WILL NEED:
T-SHIRT
FABRIC SCISSORS (I used any)
HOUSEHOLD BLEACH 
SPRAY BOTTLE 
DISPOSABLE GLOVES
BIN LINER

STEP ONE
Take your shirt and insert cuts using your scissors. Want to add some tears? you can do so by folding the fabric, cutting it on the fold and then tearing the hole with your hands. This will create a natural looking tear. Remember there's no rule to this, so get as wild as you want!

STEP TWO
Lay a bin bag over the surface you're about to work on and place your t shirt on top. Pour the bleach into a spray bottle and begin to spray over different areas of the top. To create big splats I poured the bleach into my hand and flicked it at the t shirt (dw, I had about 3 gloves on) A safer way would be to get a sauce bottle or create one by poking a hole through a empty juice bottle lid. You will see the bleach starting to work straight away, the longer you leave it the lighter the splashes will go. I left mines for 10 mins then added more bleach to create different shades. Once you have your desired colour move on to the next step 

STEP THREE 
Hand wash your t-shirt in cold water. You'll see the water change colour, continue until clear. This stage is very important!

STEP FOUR 
Put your t-shirt in the washing machine or hand wash. I hand washed mines because I wanted to wear it out that day. Place in the dryer and remove when completely dry. 

STEP FIVE
Iron, admire and style your new & improved t-shirt.

Back to school

We're closing in on summer and everyone has officially gone back to studies.
YAY *fake smile*
It's time to do that big shop that should last you till the new year.
These are clothes you'll be rushing to lecture in, revising in the library for hours and perhaps clothes you may have to stay in for a spontaneous night out with friends.
So the key to shopping for 'back to school' clothing is comfort and versatility.








Slip dresses are on trend at the moment and very versatile.
Dress it down with a t shirt during the day and wear by itself with heels for a sexy evening look.

Well of course it's tracksuit season. 
This particular two piece reminds me of a vetements tracksuit I saw on Tumblr. I legit searched everywhere for it, but I'm definitely happy to settle for this! (save some shmoney too)
 We usually run grab our khaki outfits for A/W so forest green is refreshing and bold.
