um hello again

It feels like I have a lot of explaining to do to the little readers that I have gained through my years of blogging. I have found that the amount of work that is involved with exams can almost take over your life and it kinda still is. Though I have never been a consistent blogger (whoops) this is definitely the longest time that I have spent away from filling in my slice of the internet. So far I've done 7 exams and have about 11 left. They've all gone OK to be honest and I hope to surprise myself of results day. However, I just wasn't 'blessed' lets say with the gift of mathematics if you dare call that mix of letter, decimals and numbers. I am trying my absolute hardest not to give up of this deadly but crucial subject and will do ANYTHING FOR A B. I hope that I can deliver on the day.
Sorry to have not come with any new styles and things that I am loving at the moment but I will be back sooner than you know it! I felt that there was a much needed apology for my absence on the internet and here it is- sorry. SORRY. I think that even if fashion does come first to me, perhaps not to future employees so I best do my best and study.
I will now leave you with some songs that I have been hooked on and have been my deliverance for these bloomin' exams.
Hope you enjoy!

tumblr moday?

 

morning all! It's the holidays and I have FINALLY got a rest, it's getting closer to my exams and I am up to my knees in work. I have a new years resolution of blogging more and that is not the only resolution I have broken but at least it's the only one I remember. I have missed going on tumblr though but now I can finally show you my tumblr inspirao blog ation that I have recently picked up.

Fashion illustrator- lana chung

As an art textiles student and do my best to go around and look up inspiration for new drawings, paintings and I think that I may have found it.
Lana Chung is a fashion illustration when looking at the rag&bone website as Lana had previously drawn out their collection for them. I don't usually see an artist that wows me as much as here work. I love the simplistic style of the painting and illustrations that she does.

unfortunately, I couldn't share more of Lana's illustrations with you because of copyright issues but be sure to check out her website for more inspiration.

Topshop unique ss14- review

Topshop always do the most fantastic ranges and they are really on top of their game right now with tweed, velvet and bold prints as their main focus in their unique selection.
I would rate the collection a 7-8 out of 10
pros:

• great materials
• different patterns which are creative
• love the green oversized jacket

Things I find difficult about the collection:
I don't really know how to put each item together. It seems to be full of more staple item rather than a combination of items which you could ix and match. Also I think I will need to warm to some of the prints...

what do you think of the new collection ?

A slice of advice #1

I really need to stick to this whole blogging thing.
I have been blogging for around two years and although I don't blog so often, I haven't given up.
that's a sign at least...

What I love most is getting emails from readers and someone asked me this question:

I then thought, 'hmm... I could make something out of this..'
So I've decided to make a new segment in my blog, A SLICE OF ADVICE
ask me a question below or through my email and I try my best to give you a list of clothing to on what to wear something with or what to wear to a certain event.

I love varsity jackets, great casual sporty wear which I love because they are so  cool and make you feel like your going to an American school in the movies.
they would look great with trainers and a casual strap dress
This is a great outfit to wear on the go or to meet up with friends or a casual date to the cinema or someone's house. You will feel comfortable yet feel stylish at the same time.

thanks for asking,
Toyin

Happy new year!/ new year's playlist

This is my first blog post of the whole year! I told myself that I wouldn't be making any new year's resolutions but I couldn't help myself.

1. BLOG MORE- I think it goes without saying that I will learn more about blogging and gain more follower's to read my content and tips if I just blog a bit more. Also to blog about things that I care about as well as you may find that quite entertaining
2. RENOVATE MY BLOG- I am not expert at this at all but what really attracts people to their blog is if the design of the blog is better.
3. READ MORE- I spend so much time on the computer and the other time studying that I never get a chance to read a good book, hopefully with a year jam packed with exams this one will actually be possible.
4. DRAW AND DESIGN MORE- I'm already on to this one!

What are your resolutions for this year?

Playlist for the new year:
1. home- Gabrielle Aplin
2. When I get famous- Jamie Cullum
3. Grow Old with me- Tom Odell
4. Sing to the moon- Laura Mvula
5. counting star- One republic
6. golden chains- ALB

Three must have coats

There is not mistaking that it is winter. As much as I hate the weather especially the horrible English storms, I love layering, boots, scarfs and hats.
Especially in this weather, and my ability to easily get a cold, it's almost impossible for me to go out without a coat. so here's my advice on picking a jacket for every occasion.

1. Topshop- Navy Blue bomber by boutique (£160.00)
I love bomber jackets as they are so versatile, you can wear them as a coat for those windy days or underneath a thicker jacket for those snowy days. You can dress it up with a nice shirt or down with a t-shirt.

2. Zara- short combination anorak (£69.99)
I am not a fan or puffa jackets but I really this one as I can actually imagine wearing out with a nice pair of skinny jeans and stilettos and not a pair of sweat pants people seem to always match them with. I also think the price it quite reasonable and the jacket will give you maximum warmness this winter.

3. H&M - Wide coat (£69.99)
This is quite an out there jacket but I absolutely love it! It's eye catching and will really get people starring out you amongst the dreary weather and colours. I recommend wearing this with something quite smart and less casual as I can't quite picture this being someone's everyday jacket and it probably doesn't give as much warmth as the other two jackets

Sorry for being away from the blogging scene for such a long  time but I having really needed to find the motivation. Please keep reading and have a lovely new year!
