Autumn Glow.........

I have been in this country for more then 10 years and every Autumn/Winter the majority of the nation goes grey...as in everyone starts wearing these dull gloomy colours that are so depressing and cold making them blend in with the weather. Now I for one hate first of all looking like someone else and secondly hate not having colour in my life. So me being me, put together my Autumn glow outfit with some of my favourite colours. 

Hope you like, Enjoy xx

Doing what I love............

Double the work........

So the majority of my friends already know that I sew, and I am so weak to saying No especially sewing for events, and with this knowledge, I was kindly asked by a couple of friends to sew their birthday dresses, some asked 3 months in advance so I couldn't say No....
So I had the privilege of sewing for twins YAY..... double the work but never the less it was a pleasure.

Here are some Pics of the sewing journey.......


I used pattern blocks for the top half of the dresses.






I bought the fabric in Brixton Village Market (Inside the Arcade) The telephone Number is printed below if you wish to get the same or more. I bought the fabric for £15 for 6 yards.




Used my favourite Brothers domestic sewing machine, this machine if FAB for beginners.





Key details of the dress: dropped front and back (originally supposed to be draped but due to the structure of the fabric, a few changes were made.




Full image of the dress, Asymmetric hem.





Key details of the dress: Boob tube top with chiffon draped sleeves.




Full image of the dress, gathered waist and full length.




And......this is how it they wore their dresses, totally cute right? Had to make a little skirt for myself  seeing the dress code was brown and white.

Things I like.....Part 8 & 9

Life can't be shared alone.....

I love travelling anywhere, it could  be to another country or just exploring new sites in place I already know, either way I still travel and it is so much fun, I don't get a chance to do it often but when I do I really love it. I am always travelling with someone because I hate discovering amazing things and there's no one to share it with, but most of the time I am with my mum because she is AMAZING....and loves adventure loool.
Here is my favorite place in the whole wide world and I have been here THREE time already and still find it amazing each time I go, I guess it just holds a special place in my heart... 

Israel......


















I also love being with people who make my life that extra sweet, that would be my family and my closets friends, I am a sociable person by nature and I do enjoy meeting new people, I think it's fun and you never know what people can add to you so I never hide myself from first encounters.  

My family is too amazing for anyone to understand, they are very supportive and encouraging in anything I do, literally everything and for that reason I totally love them. They are funny and love life, they love to travel and eat food, yep eat food, our home tradition is watching movies and laughing at past mistakes and experiences. I have two beautiful sisters and a wonder woman for a mother. These people make me so proud to be part of a family and I see their love for me in everything they do for me.

Here's my crazy family.......


 My sisters..........


My younger sister..........such a poser...




Then there are my friends, now the reason why I love friends is because they are my chosen family, I get to say and choose who shares my life. And every person I chose has been nothing but the best in my life, helped me through tough times and cried with me through storms but never the less they remained through rocky moments.. Now I have friend from 11 years ago to friends I just met just this year but regardless of the time I've know them, they have proved to be lovely and caring people.

Things I like......Part 7

Hidden Places...........

Now I don't know about you, but I love love love being in places that I can't be found loool sounds crazy but it's true. I enjoy cosy little restaurants and cafes that are hidden in some back street of London and not too busy, I think think they are so chic and warming....I don't know how to really describe the feeling of being in a place that is small and cosy and you don't have to worry about bumping into a lot of people you know ect....you just feel so free and relaxed. Now I know a couple of people who love cafes just like me and are big fans of coffee not that I am, more like triple chocolate cheesecake (caffe Nero) amazing by the way, and it's not necessarily about the coffee or cake because I am sure you have coffee in the house, but rather the  experience of sitting down in a beautiful cosy and hidden cafe and just relaxing, now that is beautiful.


Now this is my favourite place to be.....located somewhere in south London and very very cosy I have to say, it is super amazing for getting away from the crowd and just breathing, now this one especially does draw a lot of families and mothers with children because it is located in a family orientated area but never the less still peaceful. 

Another thing that I truly love is boutiques, again those that are hidden of the main street or are in places that people don't often go to, I love my style and I believe in people finding their own style and letting their personality shine through their style being it in clothing, hair, make up or just your home anyway will do, and when I find someone who has the same things as me, it is upsetting, now it sounds silly because of course people are going to buy the same thing as you whether you like it or not....but I really try to buy items that the majority of people wouldn't buy or wear colours that most people wouldn't wear, I fight not to follow trends or if I do, it probably would be in my own way just so that I don't blend in with the surroundings. 

Now here is one of the places that I love to go to so I can buy something unique.


I absolutely love this place love it because it is famously known for its cool markets and vintage stores.
Here are a few of them.....







Now this place sells the most amazing bagels sooooo yummy.........just around the corner from my Uni so I come here for some yum yum bagel.
