Blogger Love TAG ♡

I have been reading different blogs for about 3 years now and actually started my own blog about 2 and a half years ago, soooo I thought that it would be a good idea to do this tag! so here it goes...

What was the first blog you ever came across?

The first blog that I ever came across.. hmmm.. I'm not entirely sure which one was the very first one however I do remember SheWearsFashion being one of the first blogs that I started reading, I can remember thinking how cool she was and still is. All the outfits that she puts together are pretty damn cool and she has a lovely personality as well which is an added bonus. 

Favourite beauty blog reads:

Beautiful Solutions

Beauty And The Button

A B i t G r a c e f u l.

Chelle's Beauty Blog

(Just to name a few) 

Best blogging friend

I haven't really made any friends through blogging as yet, would love to meet some knew blogger friends though! I do however have real life blogger friends who you guys should follow: RazMaTaz-Girl and Vogue & Trends!

Name a blog that enables your purchases

This is a really difficult Q to answer because I read so many different beauty blogs before buying a product so I don't think that there is a specific blog it depends on the products that I'm thinking about buying. I also find that beauty gurus on YouTube always have me wanting to buy something new.

Five blogs that everyone should be reading! had to a limit on this :( 

SheWearsFashion

I Dress Myslef

Vogue and Trends

RazMaTaz Girl

Bonjour Girl

My favourite way to read blogs is just on the go through bloglovin app, its super easy to read your favourite bloggers blog posts! 

Bloggers that inspire you

Favourite blog design/look
I absolutely love really simple but chic looking blogs like the Miss Guided blog and The Trendy Chick blog.

What is you favourite thing about blogging?
My favourite thing about blogging is that I get the just chance to be a bit creative on here... Being a English Literature, Psychology, Philosophy & Business studies A-Level student means that they creative side of my personality can sometimes be over shadowed (for lack of a better term) I guess blogging allows me to be creative in different type of way.

Name a blogger that you would most like to see write a book in the future!
Definitely Kavita from SheWearsFashion! She has been blogging for years now which means that she would be able to share lots of stories about here blogging career. Also, she has been travelling a whole lot lately and I think it would be really interesting to have her take on the different places that she has been.

Autumn #OOTD!

Hey, guys... it's been sometime now, I have been incredibly busy these few weeks with trying to get used to my new school and dealing with the amount of homework that I get from my AS subjects that I am doing. However, now that it's half term I have little more time for blogging. (YAAAY!).
Top: New Look
Denim Jacket: Charity Shop
Black leggings: Primark
Chunky black suede boots: New Look (online store)
Chain: Miss Selfridge

 

I wanted a denim jacket for such a long time and whenever I found one it was always way over my budget so when I found this one I was happy I found it but a bit hesitant for some strange reason but my friend (STEPH) kinda forced me to buy it so I caved in! it was only £5.99 (bargain). And.. as for the boots, I was in great need of a new pair and as soon I saw these on the New Look online store I knew they had to be mine and they were £29.99!  

 

 

 

Let me know what you think about this #OOTD? I'm thinking about doing one everyday of this week since I am on half term I will be able to so, almost like a Autumn Look Book.

Tumblr #2

Hey.... Its feels so weird being on here after such a long time and I have missed it so much because I do find blogging very therapeutic and always feel great after I have clicked the publish button. The goods news is that I have officially finished all of my GCSE exams yesterday so Lucille is back in full effect! Woop Woop! and there is no bad news because that just blows. I thought what better way to come back than to come back with a Tumblr #2, if you are unsure what this is, its just me putting 25 of my most recent reblogs on Tumblr to show you what I'm loving in terms of the latest trends, beauty looks, celeb/model styles, food and quotes.

 

 Trend:White onWhite/ Sour worms/ Versace label/ Street Chick/ Adrienne Bailon in embellished jacket/ Perspex clutch/ Beyoncé/ Fashion girl (Perspex clutch and printed trousers/ Rihanna with VS models/ Hell Yeah/ Neon Heels/ Louboutins/Gorgeous Fashion Blogger/ Happiness/ Greece/ Red Lips/ Fashion blogger/ Couture Runway shoes/ Jordan Dunn/ Couture dress/ NYC/ origami shorts/ Hot Pink strappy heels/ Cute T/ Olsen Twins looking gorge.

 

My school's prom is on the 27th June which is next week! I can't believe that its so near...eeek! There will definitely be a post up about that. I'm so excited for this long summer holiday that is ahead. I have a MAC Haul, reviews and fashion posts that will be up soon. I hope everyone has a great summer :D

Taking Time Out

Hey, so a few days ago my brother I decided to take little stroll not to far from where we live, why I didn't choose to upload this post earlier? Have no idea (lots of things going on) the sun was out and we don't really see much of it so we thought we should make the most of it! So here are some of the pics that I took along the way. Believe it or not if you take the whole fashion and beauty aspect away I'm quite the nature lover but hate camping (strange). I forgot how beautiful it all is being cooped up in my room from day to day. Its so important to just go out and get fresh air, I'm not going lie I was getting a little depressed without the sun but the weather does seem to be looking up which just makes me all the more excited for the very long summer coming up! YAY!

 

 I would love to hear if any of you are going on any cool summer holidays anywhere or even if you have any interesting summer plans, please feel free to leave any comments or requests. :)

Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel

Not going to lie I have been kinda slacking with my blog lately which is not something that I am proud of but I do have a perfectly valid excuse: I have been doing a lot of revising of late because I am in my final year GCSE's, and my exams are not too far away which makes me want to cry just typing it.

BUT, forget the slightly depressing part of my life; lets all take time to admire the these two gorgeous creations the Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel two items that are definitely on my wish list, even though the price is SO of my budget. A girl can dream right?



I don't think that these two bags have ever been compared to each other because they are completely different to one another. The Celine Luggage Tote looks very chic and not very practical in other words it would need to be well taken care of especially considering the price which is $2,000 for the solid colour which could go up to at least $3,400 according to size. The bag comes in four different sizes, nano, micro, mini and phantom and after watching a fair amount of YouTube videos on reviews for these beauties it was all positive. A lot of the YouTubers said that they manage to fit quite a bit of stuff in there such as a laptop, Ipad, a book, purse and a phone all in at once this obviously goes for the phantom but for the smaller sizes you would want to be a more cautious with the weight of the items that you put in the bag because the wear and tear of the bag will not last very long. Overall, the Celine bag is definitely something that I would like to purchase when I have finances (LOL). My attraction for this bag definitely came from the Kardashian/Jenner Klan, I think even baby Penelope has a miniture version of it.

The Cambridge Satchel is so "London" and I am so obsessed with London fashion which is what attracts me to this bag even more. I was first introduced to this bag by the google chrome advert on TV. If you live in the UK you might know what I'm talking about if not just YouTube "Google Chrome Cambridge Satchel advert" and it should come up. When I saw the ad I was instantly attracted to the bag, let alone the actual story about how it all began and being a Fashion Blogger I found it really inspiring. After all the reviwes that I watched a lot of the vloggers said that the Cambridge Satchel is a very structured bag, one of the reasons being that the bag is made from real strong leather which I guess is a good thing because you know that it will last you a long time and the bag won't really lose it's original shape which is what I think attracts people to the bag in the first place. For some this might be a bit of a hassle if you are someone like me who just throws in whatever you need for the day and you are out the door.

As for me I don't really know which is my favourite, haven't made my mind up just yet but I would love to hear what's your personal favourite or you can just tell me about your all time favourite bag so make sure you comment below!

hope you enjoyed!

London, Milan and New York Street Style!

London, Milan and New York! three places that I would love to go to some day solely because they are some of the biggest fashion capitals in the world. Being able to surround yourself with people who share the same passion for fashion as you do in a gorgeous city, sounds like paradise to me!

LONDON TOWN

London being one of the fashion capitals that have so many different cultures, I definitely believe that it has influenced British fashion in incorporating the different cultures in the artistry of fashion and will probably continue for many years to come. Street Style in particular has been influenced the most because the people of different cultures themselves are allowed to create an outfit including all their own cultural elements. I noticed that London fashion is a lot more grimy and grungy, there is just something alot more raw about British fashion compared to the other cities which is something I love.



In the streets of London she is sporting leather jacket, black pleated mini, black tights, black patent heels and a gorgeous satchel, so perfect for London weather.







This outfit is a lot more casual and still perfect for London weather. Shes wearing a black leather jacket (so versatile, something I need to invest in), plain white T-shirt, beige maxi skirt paired with a statement necklace, can't go wrong with a statement necklace.



MILAN

Milan, Italy holds some of the biggest and well known brands such as Valentino, Versace, Gucci, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana. The city hosts Milan Fashion Week twice a year and the Street Style does not disappoint! My favourite time to look at their Street Style is during Milan Fashion Week because that is when you see all the really trendy models going to their next runway and some well renowned fashionista's taking front seats eagerly waiting to see new collections from amazing designers. I noticed that they always pair statement but simple items together and it always looks super chic!

She's wearing a over sized dark green long coat, boyfriend jeans and black suede high heeled booties. Simple yet Stylish.



This is one of my favourites! I love how both of them look so trendy walking beside each other but she looks particularly stunning. This outfit is so street, casual and edgy all at the same time!



NEW YORK CITY

New York City, somewhere I dreamt of going ever since a was a really young girl and the fashion there is just unreal. New York is the core of fashion I like to think because that's where one of the major Fashion Weeks take place and different creative designers put together a fashion show introducing the new upcoming season trends with some of the A-List celebs in the front row which is very exciting. New York is a fast paced city which is something I love because I enjoy being busy and I don't particularly like having a lot of time on my hands.

I love how simple this outfit is but it looks so fashionable at the same time, all shes wearing is a cowgirl denim shirt, plain black tights and those masculine shoes just to tie it all in and the hair suits her so well.
  



This outfit is so casual but well put together I really admire people who take time to create their outfits. I love her jeans, it has the washed out effect, panda grey shirt, over-sized brown fury coat and the boots are so rough and tumble #loveit

Be Brave!

This post is kind of different to my usual but I thought it would be nice to share with you some of the things that I have gone through in my life that I can be proud of. Over the past three years I have learnt so much about myself and about life (deep I know). I always try to get all the positive out of every experience that I go through but this was not not always my frame of mind. About three years ago I moved to a small island called Guernsey not a lot of people have of it. Moving school is never a good thing especially when you have made your friends (main reason) and are just used to your normal routine I think I was always afraid of change because I'm kind of a control freak and I like knowing whats going on in my life and there was just something about moving that was the unknown, not knowing where you going to live, not knowing which school you are going to, not knowing whether you are going to make friends or not. It was just the matter of "only time will tell". You would think that moving around so much I would get used to it but NO each time was just as bad as the last.

However, it just didn't compare, moving around in South Africa was okay I guess because you still are in your own country but moving to a different country just seemed scarier let alone an island. Now when I sit back and think about it, the worry was all for nothing because I got the chance live on an amazing island which is something an ordinary person my age from South Africa would never get to experience and I have met some amazing people (friends that I would want to keep for life).

South Africa, Home.

 I have just moved recently, last year September to another island called Jersey (last move until I choose) about 10 min's away from Guernsey by plane. And I had the exact same feelings that I had the last time because I am human and no matter how many times I move I'm always going to be afraid of the unknown and I think everyone is, that is just how life works, that is just how my life was meant to plan out and I wouldn't have it any other way because if all of it did not happen I would not be the person I am today it has also allowed me to meet my amazing new friend Amber, someone that I have learnt so much from, she is probably one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet which I think is very rare to find now days. Even though this year would probably go down as one of my toughest years having to move in my final year of GCSE's it has made me realise that I'm so much more stronger than I thought I was .

I just feel really lucky and grateful for all that I have experienced whether it be good or bad because I have learnt so much from it. So basically the message is Be Brave! because if I can get through anything, so can you!

(enough cheese in one day I think)

Fashion Blogger Tag!

1. What's your favourite fashion accessory?
My Rose Gold watch has been my favourite go to accessory because it goes with everything and I love the fact that its so big and chunky on me almost like a males watch its just a shame that its not Marc Jacobs or Micheal Kors.

2.Who's your fashion Role Model?
Rihanna has to be my fashion rold model I love that she is daring and not afraid to take a fashion risk, she always mixes edge with her cool street vibe and she manages to pull of everything she wears as well as her cool new hairstyles. LOOOOOVE HER!

3. What do you always carry with you?
I always carry my phone with me where ever I go. I feel lost without it!

4. How would you describe your style?
Questions like this I always find it hard to answer because I am still young so as I grow older so does my style and I go through so many different phases but for right now I would say that its "Simplistic with a bit of edge".

5. What's your favourite? Jeans, Sunglasses or Heels?
My floral framed sunglasses are definitely my fav! especially in the Summer when the sun is out (obviously).
Can't wait to whip these out this Summer or even for Spring. They make me feel very girly. This Summer I think I will pair this with a cropped top, maxi skirt, gladiator sandals and gold jewellry to pull the whole outfit together.

6. What inspired you to blog about fashion?
Well.. I always kinda grew up around clothes and makeup because I would see my older sister and mum dress up and put makeup on so in my younger years I wanted to be just like them, but I would say about three years ago when I moved abroad I became more interested in clothing and the styling of them. Recently I thought it would be a great idea to document my thoughts and feelings about fashion and beauty which is why I created this blog. So I would say my inspiration came from being exposed to another world of fashion and not from anything in particular.

7. What is your favourite fashion store?
My favourite high street fashion store will have to be Topshop because they sell good quality, fashionable clothes and they have recently just opened up in South Africa, America and several other countries which I think is great! If I could shop at a higher end store my favourite would definitely be Givenchy... I mean do I even have to say anymore the name just speaks for itself.

8. What is your favourite fabric in clothing?
I love denim only because I think that it is so easy to wear and denim is a fabric that never goes out of style. And any other fabric that has some sort of  intricate art work detailing whenever I buy items of clothing I always look at the detailing first because thats whats most important to me when buying clothes.

9. Who are your favourite designers?
My favourite designers are Hubert de Givenchy, Roberto Cavalli and Cristobal Balenciaga.

10. Who or what inspires your style?
The main things that influence the way that I dress is Tumblr, Vogue, People that I have met and things that I come across in my daily life that I can get ideas from and that inspires me.

11. Would you choose to buy something high quality or make it yourself if you could?
I would probably buy something high quality than make it because you could always take it back if you didn't like it where as if you made it yourself you wouldn't be able to do that besides that I don't think that I would be very good at crafting something of good quality.

Hope you enjoyed!
Lucille
