December, December :)

How crazy is it that it is the 2nd of December?! (Time to get the advent calendars out! yes I am 21 and can proudly say I've never been a year without having one). Writing this right now I have actually just realised that it is the last month of the year (sorry to scare you)! Its actually the craziest thing ever, but I'm happy because its officially the most wonderful time of the year *insert Christmas tree emoji here*. We officially say goodbye to Autumn and hello to Winter. Which means its time to dress in sparkly stuff and trade those mustards and browns for silvers, golds and blacks!

Hat - Miss Selfridge
Jumper - Miss Selfirdge
Skirt - H&M
Boots - Miss Selfridge

I'm definitely slightly getting in to the Christmas spirit with this outfit! Greys and Blacks for winter all the way - and who can resist a big hat. DEFO not me. But enjoy the Christmas period! Don't be afraid to eat an extra piece of chocolate and buy that wonderful hot chocolate on your morning commutes! And be ready for the amount of money you spend - because Christmas is not only the most wonderful time of the year but it is also the most expensive! On that not actually I still haven't started my Christmas shopping yet *slaps self on wrist* so I'm guessing its going to have to be a last minute rush around in Oxford Circus eeeeeek! But enjoy the rest of your weeks, whatever you're getting up to!

Yellow Jumpers, Yellow Leaves ♥

More and more leaves are beginning to turn yellow, so why not wear a jumper to represent it? As its starting to get colder theres no way you can go out without a jacket (but I'm slyly getting away with it - well for now anyway). I love this yellow jumper I got because its perfect for Autumn. I also have a deep purple lipstick I pair it with that looks absolutely amazing on and goes so well with the colour of the jumper!

Jumper - H&M
Jeans - Primark (ripped by me)
Bag - H&M

Ok so lets talk about my jeans. Ripped jeans are slowly becoming a thing, a very big thing. I have wanted a pair for ages so one day on one of my many window shops, I decided to walk into Topshop to purchase a pair. When I walked in and looked at the price tag I did a u-turn lol. £40 plus! No offence to Topshop because I love them so much, but £40 when you're a broke student like myself (this was in the summer so no student loan had come in and my bank account was as dry as the Sahara desert) is not allowed. So an idea came to me - I just went to Primark, brought a pair for £7 and ripped them myself with the assistance of youtube and my younger sister! Best decision I have ever made. If you have time like I did, defo take the opportunity!

But everyone clap for me for how quickly I've posted since last time! I'm slowly managing how I can combine Uni, life and blogging! Have a lovely week my loves! xoxo.

Return of the Mac.

This post is called this for two reasons, number one being the return of the Mac as it is officially Mac season, who doesn't love a good Mac! Makes any outfit look sophisticated (Mines from Zara - details below). And number two, its my return after a month long without posting;) - apologies, apologies. But lets be happy because its officially the season for Tans and Browns! and I absolutely love these colours for the simple fact that they just go so well together!

Mac - Zara
Sunglasses - Aldo
Jeans - Zara
Boots - New Look

The only negative thing with this Mac in particular however, is the lining. A lot of my friends who have purchased a jacket from Zara always say the lining isn't the best (my pockets have slightly ripped inside :/), the only advice I can give is to be very careful when putting your hands in your pocket - try not to be too aggressive or else you'll end up like me:(. 

But..all in all, I hope everyone is having an AMAZING Autumn, I sure well am. How beautiful does it look when you look outside your window first thing in the morning and you're treated to the look of beautiful brown leaves falling from the trees? AMAZING. Anyway as you can guess I have been extremely busy so thats why its taken me such a long time to upload. Uni has become slightly crazy but will 100% be worth it in the end. Enjoy whatever you get up to this week beautifuls!  'xo

Happy Happy Happy.

Cliche title right? As you can guess this is my very late post about my recent trip to my second home the 02 arena to see the one and only Pharrell Williams live! It was actually amazing. Pharrell went old school, yes I repeat old school- as far back to N.E.R.D days. He also did a lot of songs from his most recent album (I totally recommend you download it if you already haven't). A lot of magazines and other artists always say he is probably the coolest guy in the music industry and I think that this concert did prove that to me. Everything from his stage presence, to his outfits, to his backup dancers a.k.a the baes (yes the baes) were just the coolest! I was really lucky to get such good seats as well, Level 1, Block 108. So if you're a concert fanatic like me, I would definitely recommend sitting in Level 1 if you are lucky enough to get tickets there!

(Sorry this picture isn't that clear I was too busy dancing to take anymore)

I actually had trouble finding an outfit to wear.

1). Because the weather is a bit in-between hot and cold at the moment
&
2). I didn't want to be toooooo overdressed.

So eventually, after throwing all the contents of my wardrobe onto my bed I settled on this little number..

Fur Gilet - Miss Selfridge
Khaki Shirt - New Look
Wetlook Leggings - River Island
Shoes - Topshop
Bag - Zara

The fur gilet is my absolute favourite, but it was actually from a year ago so I don't think it will be in Miss Selfridge anymore. I did however pop in there the other day on one of my many window shopping trips and found it but in a different colour! So you could always run with that :). Team it with a leather jacket underneath and throw it over and it will turn out amazing (when I do that I always get people coming up to me asking where I got my jacket from! which is always nice ;).

Simple, casual, but smart concert outfit! This time of year is always a bit difficult with finding outfits but throw anything like a gilet or fur collar onto something to look smart, chic and warm! Hope you are all having a wonderful week and are happy wherever you are (see what I did there). 

Peace & Love!

Dinner Chic!

Ok, I know I failed with my plan :/.. The plan was to post more regularly but third year is not a joke guys (not to scare you or anything). But in all honestly it really isn't.. But nonetheless I'm good hahaha! 100% going to work hard to getting that 2.1 !!

So Autumn is basically upon us, which means Winter is almost here! You can definitely know from when you start purchasing hot chocolate on a daily basis, wrapping up in extra layers before bed and when you start contemplating whether to go out on a Saturday night because you don't want to miss the X Factor live shows! (I usually decide to stay in and watch X Factor *facepalm*). But nights out become more consistent in the autumn/winter. And even though uni has been extremely busy, I've still found the time to go out for little birthday dinners ;).

This is an outfit I wore to a friends birthday lunch/dinner which was absolutely amazing!! Good food, Good Wine (even if I did have one glass to many) and Good Times.

Sorry this picture isn't to clear the lighting wasn't the best :/ 
Sunglasses - Aldo
Gold Chocker Necklace - Ebay
Waterfall Jacket - River Island (Sale as well!) 
Tshirt - River Island
Jeans - Miss Selfridge
Shoes - Miss Selfridge

You've all been seeing the recent photos of Kim Kardashian at Paris fashion week right? Completely SLAYING the game. One thing I love the most about her outfits is the fact she tops it off with oversized sunglasses! They add the slightest sophisticated look to an outfit and I think they are amazing. I was lucky enough to find a pair in Aldo that suit me (well I hope they do :/) as I have quite a small skinny face so certain sunglasses tend to not suit my face that well.

As you may have noticed I've finally taken my hair out of weave and decided to go with my natural hair for a while! I used to have it in a very short bob where I couldn't even tie it up in a ponytail and looking at these photos I can see that it actually has grown a lot! I've been getting a lot of people asking me if my hair is actually weave but it isn't!

But..... I should really be getting off to get some work done! I should be/WILL BE doing another post next week.. I promise promise PROMISE!! I've managed to bag some tickets to the Pharrell concert on Thursday which I am UBER excited about! So will be posting a review and an outfit post sometime towards the end of the week! Enjoy whatever you're getting up to this week!

Peace & Lots of Love

Winspiration..

See what I did there with the title. Pun of the year 100% goes to me for that one I think lol. 

Okay so I recently downloaded an app after months of seeing people put the nicest outfits together on instagram and kept wondering how they did until someone was nice enough to tell me to download polyvore. This is just a little winspiration (winter inspiration) for a possible outfit you could wear during the winter season. Am I the only one who feels that there is always so much more to do in the winter? Its filled with everyones birthdays, loads of events and of course... Christmas. So most defo you need to have a certified outfit for every occasion. So I've put this little something together. 100% waiting for student loan (countdown 1 week!!) so I can make this outfit possible.

1. Black Oversized Hat - River Island

-You guys should know my obsession with oversized hats by now. This hat from River Island is amazing and oversized, to state the obvious. Perfect accessory to top off any outfit and give it a sophisticated look!

2. White Jersey Top - Topshop

-You can never, ever, ever go wrong with a white jersey top. Perfect for every occasion! (and can go from day to night-easily).

3. Barry M Red Nail Varnish - Amazon

- As the queen of nail varnish (I honestly own every single colour you could think of) I defo think red nails are good for the winter - nice and festive! 

4. Grey Mongolian Fur Jacket - Topshop

- Unfortunately this jacket is sold out and I can't find a replica or anything similar which is super annoying! But keep trying the topshop website incase it comes back or have a look on ebay! ;)

5. Gold Stud Earings - Similar here

- Nothing better than a pair of stud earrings - especially gold aswell! 

6. Leather Drawstring Trousers - Similar Here

Leather Drawstring trousers are very in this season and can be worn with everything! Its also nice to have a change from wearing jeans all the time...

7. Mac Mineralize Rich Lipstick (Lush Life) - Mac

- Top off your makeup with an amazing Mac Mineralize lipstick in the colour "Lush Life", compliments any skin tone as its a deep red and also Mac lipsticks are amazing! 

8. Court Heels - Miss Selfridge

Luckily I own these already, but heres the link for them anyway! :)

9. Michael Kors Bag - Available Here

I have actually been meaning to buy one of these for AGES. But I just can't bring myself to pay so much (broke student problems) but I think this season I may as well treat myself as it is an essential and its just the most gorgeous bag ever. 

Even writing this post is making me so excited about AW2014. Its most definitely gonna be a good one ! (Hold tight my bank balance though) Hope you are all enjoying whatever you're up to this week, will be uploading some more outfits posts from my amazing weekend this week!  <3

Formal Flow..

Happy September! Not sure whether you see that as a good thing because of starting school and stuff again and it being the end of summer and all of that, but I guess its a blessing to see a new month right! I've literally just been trying to get myself together with everything - trying to slowly get myself organised for starting uni again (third year - eeeeek!). But how fast has this summer gone! Nonetheless it has been amazing so I can't really complain I guess.

Anywayyyyyy, this is yet again another outfit post! I've been going to quite a few interviews for internships and stuff (gotta try and secure that graduate job lol) so thought why not make a post on an outfit idea of what you could wear to an interview? I'm a big believer in first impressions and I have always been told that what you wear to an interview (or even on a daily basis for that matter) really counts towards what people think of you.

Peplum Blazer - Miss Selfridge
Pencil Skirt - Miss Selfridge
Court Heels - Miss Selfridge
Bag - Zara

I'm basically representing Miss Selfridge to the fullest in this post but there stuff is amazing (and I did used to get good discount working there so why not :P). Peplum Blazers seem to be quite in this season so definitely invest in one! Putting it with a pencil skirt gives a sophisticated look which is what you want to show an employer right? Another amazing thing about peplum blazers is that you can throw them on with jeans and make it a casual thing!

But as always I have stuff to do and I am procrastinating by typing this (these habits need to disappear by 22nd of September). But I will try my hardest to update this a lot regularly than I already have been. Enjoy going back to school or whatever else you're up to this week!

Peace & Love!

Casual Shopping Days (with no moneys) !

I am so so excited about doing my first outfit post! I get so much inspiration from some of my favourite bloggers for outfits and I use them for inspiration with my own outfits that I wear so I'm hoping that this can have the same effect on someone else... somewhere, maybe?

(Also big shout out to my sister for taking time to take these pictures for me). 

So yeah, this is my outfit of the day for the other, other, day when I went for a quick shopping trip to Westfield's (spending money I don't have as per usual so nothing is new there). I chose to go for a simple but somewhat sophisticated look and also get in touch with the autumn winter trend (just a little bit early, but its not bad to be eager right?) because of my shirt - which is from Zara btw for £25.99 and I loveeeeeee.

Hat: Miss Selfridge
Shirt: Zara (Autumn/Winter Collection)
Jeans: Topshop
Bag: Zara
Shoes: New Look

I paired my shirt with my favourite pair of jeans from Topshop from their Joni collection (seriously everyone should invest in a pair they are amazingg) because they are so comfortable to wear and compliment any figure whatsoever. Also they have a range of colours!. The contrast with the colour of my jeans and my shirt give a kind of warm atmosphere if that makes sense...lol.

I teamed everything with a brown tote bag as I feel sometimes the littlest accessory can really make a difference with an outfit. Plus you can never go wrong with a tote bag, (mine is from Zara a couple of years ago but I am sure you could find it on eBay if its not online anymore - just type in brown tote bag from Zara!). I also matched my bag with my shoes which is something I rarely do so it was nice to try something different for a change. Boot heels are amazing as they are super comfortable and can be worn whatever the season! (New Look always have amazing ones) 

And lastly *breathes out* I can talk about my hat. This is one of my favourite hats from Miss Selfridge and is called a floppy hat (again if Miss Selfridge are out have a look on eBay). I'm known for my hat collection so you will most likely see a bunch of them throughout this blog. I just adore this hat because it goes with every outfit I wear and can take an outfit from level 6 to level 10 (and we all wanna be at a level 10 right?) Also, if you're having a bad hair day, just dash on a hat and it'll make everything better :-).

But as I predicted, I went over on this post! I am writing this when I have work in a bit so should really be getting ready, but hope you enjoyed this and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are!

Peace and Love

WOWW, a first post of a blog is always a big deal isn't it, so I guess I've got to make this the best I can right? I am literally just getting used to all this blogging stuff so I honestly have no clue how to use everything but the main thing is that I am here right? lol. I've been meaning to start one of these for such a long long time (and by that I mean like a year) but kept putting it off, eventually I managed to allow myself to be convinced to start one up so here we are I guess!

I am Rashida, and I would mostly describe myself as a social misfit, its kind of out of context in a way because I am the most sociable person you will ever meet (if you ever are to meet me that is), but I consider myself one because a while back I came across the phrase with a friend who described why she thinks she's one and that was because of all the embarrassing things she's had to endure in her life and I legit thought "YES THAT IS ME" lol, so it kind of stuck I guess. I also have an unhealthy addiction to retail (no trust me its so so bad someone should take my bank card away from me), I will happily spend the day window shopping or buying clothes and putting outfits together and all of that jazz! So thats what I plan to do with this blog, you've probably seen it 1000 times before so I promise to not be a clone and I will try my hardest to mix things up. I also have an unhealthy addiction to going to concerts but thats a story for a different day. I love talking too! So do not expect anything but a long post from me detailing about my outfit and random stuff I've done in the day haha.

But I have kind of ran over with this post (this will be a regular occurrence so get used to it) so let me just end this right now lol. But I will try and update this as regularly as I possibly can! Not too much to clog up your life with my rambling but you get the jist! But yeah, thats all from me, for now. Not too cringe for a first post or nah?

Peace & Love!!
