Its the best time of the year to splurge on yourself, the high streets are outdoing themselves with these markdowns, I am like a child let loose in a candy shop, its put in the bag, yes I will have that, OMG did this blazer really go down from £100 to £10 ? I don’t know about you but I save for this time of the year and I splurge, there are some shops like &otherstories that I would dare not go near on the regular because their original prices gets my bank account balance quaking, this is the time I walk in majestically into them and pick up one or two chic items. I found some cute items and as I always do, I’m sharing with you all. I am going to compile an accessories one to share soon so make sure to sign up and hit the follow button below

Smock dresses are every where this season, actually for a couple of seasons now and in my opinion, HM does the best out here on the high streets, they copete strongly with the hugh end brands and in some cases even come out tops, the quality is very good so its not a case of cheap fabric or any of that and the cut and structure of the fits are stunning, the orange one forinstance, just look at the puff sleeves, ruched mid way from the shoulder to the elbow giving you an exaggerated shoulder which is equally a huge trend this year, the ruching at the helm of the dress is another extra factor, it comes in black and white. Its beautiful and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Get it here – https://rstyle.me/+wGetGaLZ88LDp-q3XtGOZQ

In my style book, double denim is a style cheat, it’s easy to throw in and you don’t have to thin about it, you can tuck it in, full tuck, half tuck, you can tuck it out or even where it as a jacket like I have done below and it will still come out great. Grab you one today. The one I have on is a recent one from HM. Got them in stores but you can also find them online. Continue reading “Double Denim”
So today I want to talk about kindness and showing kindness whenever you can to people around you especially those for whom there is nothing to be gained from such acts of kindness. As a mom living here in the Uk, commuting with public transport is a huge part of my life as I don’t drive and have to do school runs every single day, unfortunately for us the school we chose for my daughter, we wanted her to go to a catholic primary school is a bit far from where we live.
I’m always struggling with my stroller, sometimes you’re standing at the bus stop, the bus comes and you already have two strollers/buggy in it and you have the option to
a. Fold it which is always a lot of hassle as I have to get my daughter out, take out things from the stroller, for some reason, I always have loads of things stashed on and under my buggy
or
b. Wait for the next bus , sometimes waiting for the next bus is not an option especially when I’m on school runs, punctuality is a must here.
My stroller is a portable one so sometimes, depending on the types of strollers/buggies in the bus, we may be able to fit in three , which now brings me to bus drivers and acts of kindness, I think the regulation demands two buggies for one ride, but those laws are not sacrosanct, where there is space, three can fit in alright without breaking the law however some drivers are so mean, they will tell you they already have two and you are going to have to fold your stroller to get on their bus, even when you try to let them know yo can fit in your stroller alright, they would insist they will only allow two so you must fold your buggy or vamoose while some drivers are so kind, they will inform you they got two already but you can come in and check and see if you can fit in, now whenever I meet drivers like these , I’m always just so touched and so thankful and you know it literally just makes my day and i think to myself, you know, to show kindness to another, to be kind to another person really takes nothing from you but rather fills the recipient up with joy, they bless you , they bless the universe , they share the happiness they feel with someone else and you know the world is a better place, lol.
OK now lets talk about this fit, its double leather, they are both from Zara and the boots are from TK Maxx, they are my new find for shoes, I cant remember how much exactly i spent on these shoes but believe me they were definitely under £20, they are beautiful, i love them so much and always gets tons of compliments on them
Today on our way back from school , my daughter was gisting me what happened at school, she told me of a friend of hers at school who was sad and how she tried to cheer him up , to make him happy but failed and I went straight into woke female hood, I went it’s not your job to make anyone happy, and she replied I was trying to be kind, he was sad. I was floored, how do you even combat such a retort? Anyways I still went ahead and informed her , her job is put her own happiness first and again she replied but mum I’m not sad! At this point I gave up! We will try and have this conversation another day, in another context because honestly kindness trumps everything so long as your kindness is being appreciated and not taken for granted! Or what do you guys think/suggest? Continue reading “On Happiness and Kindness”
Hello everyone, welcome to the new year, hope we are all good and still keeping to our resolutions, lol. Mine is to cut down on bread and try to eat more healthy generally, still struggling with that but never giving up, I have a bread addiction , lol. This picture is actually a throwback one , found it in my draft and decided to upload it today seeing as it is a throwback Thursday anyways. I wore this to school runs the other day and one of the mum legit asked me where I was going to or coming from as I cant be this all dressed for just school runs, lmao. I replied her that I wasn’t going anywhere but she insisted I was lying that this slay cant be just for school runs, I laughed it off and let it slide. I guess I am that mum who dresses up for school runs, lol. I love to make up and dress up just for me and that it, PERIOD! Funny thing on this day, I didn’t even think I was dressed up, I had my hair packed in a bun, I didn’t even lay my edges or none of those things, I simply had on a mini dress and a cheap ass boots I got from ego shoes.
I’m still in hibernation fam but thought I’d raise my head a bit and come on here to wish you lot happy holidays . I’m in stupor, food and drink induced stupor aka Food land, I can’t imagine what my weight will be right now, I’m so scared to hop on that scale because I still wanna eat and enjoy my life and I know hopping on the scale will be such a rude awakening and ruin my appetite and I don’t want that honestly. After the first of January yeah, we will address the damages, I don’t care 😂.Continue reading “Happy Holidays from Foo Foo Land”
