Ripped Glam

With this insane heat, I have been desperately hunting online for weather appropriate clothing. ​Here in England, it is rare we have sunshine for longer than a week, so Summer clothes have never been a priority of mine, I've always just made do with what I've got. So this heatwave gave me the perrrrfect excuse to do a huge online haul and with all the beautiful Summer clothes out there I just couldn't help but go a little wild. One of the sites I browsed whilst shopping was Rosegal . This website is perfect for the "Tumblr" vibe I am always trying to achieve. They have sweatshirts with sarcastic quotes, beautiful flowy dresses and skirts, and fitness wear for when I like to pretend I am a regular in the gym, when in actual fact I have completely forgotten my pin to even get in. I thought it would be worth mentioning, although not applicable to me, they have a huge range of plus size clothing and models on the site which was really refreshing to see. Afte...

It's really hard to pin point what exactly my signature style is.  As I have said many times on this blog, my style cannot be defined. It can depend on my mood, current trends, the weather, how lazy I am feeling etc. There are many variables that will contribute to my looks.  Saying that, there are three styles that I identify the most with and those are Classic, Soft Grunge and Street Wear.  By classic, I mean traditional cuts and tones, big handbags, nudes and monochrome. You know, the items of clothing that will never go out of fashion - the investment pieces of our wardrobes.  Soft Grunge in my own definition is chunky black boots, ripped jeans, oversized outerwear and studs. Think of a rockstar and just tone that outfit down a little bit to something you'd happily wear in public.  Street Wear I consider to be oversized hoodies and over expensive trainers. The outfit that looks so effortless, yet so chic. Channel Blvck ...

Brows, brows, brows. They're huge and have been for several years now, and with popularity means never ending products being released promising to be better than the last.  I haven't tried every brow product out there, my bank balance simply could not support that lifestyle. But I do mix up my routine quite often, depending on mood, time and the look I'm going for.  However, eyebrows can make or break a makeup look and I see so many girls walking around who don't particularly know what they're doing with big, thick, matte black eyebrows. The only way to avoid this is to know which products do what - This is where I come in.  Pomade My personal favourite is the pomade. I use Anastasia Beverly Hills and booooy it is good. For a natural look I outline them, slightly fill in and brush through the product with a spooly. I will complete the look with a brow gel.  If I want a more dramatic look, I will outline my brows with a pencil first - my favouri...

  I constantly find myself residing in the Writer's Block Hotel.  Thinking of ideas to talk about isn't always as easy as it seems and I am so envious of bloggers who post regular, great content because all I ever think is "don't you ever get stuck?" My blog posts ideas are all or nothing. I can be sat watching TV and something will come to me, I'll jot it down and then 50 more will follow. But for months later I will struggle to think of any topic to discuss. It's just the way the cookie crumbles.  W ith that being said, it is so i mporta nt to know how to get over it when you find yourself struggling, otherwise you will remain in that rut for a long time and will struggle to ever find motivation.  Over the last few months, I have attempted to inspire myself and open my mind to create new, innovative ideas and I have found by doing a few of the things listed below I have made some real progress.  ​ Shirt - Zara, ...

Hooded eye sufferers, CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!? If you have issues with hooded eyes, then please please please read on. I have had hooded eyes for as long as I can remember. I always thought I could never find a solution for it and it was just the way my eyes were meant to be. It got to the point where I was considering spending £1000 on botox to actually get it fixed. My make up was often uneven, my eyeliner would take over my entire eyelid and I was never able to take pictures from my right side without looking like a creep. It's a real nightmare for myself, and something I was incredibly self conscious of. So if you are in the same boat, I feel your pain!!  For years and years I ignored it, as I thought I might eventually grow out of it but that wasn't to be the case until one day I decided to google it and see if something could be done.  I scrolled through pages and pages on Google but most of what came up were temporary resu...

I watch a hell of a lot of TV, and American sitcoms and dramas are probably some of my favourites. You often see criticism from the media that there isn't enough shows with the leading characters being female, so I wanted to narrow down the women that have inspired me and taught me lessons on TV and just reiterate why it is so important for us fellow women to encourage and support those who do have their own TV shows.  Firstly, is my all time favourite TV show which sadly came to an end last year: The Mindy Project. Mindy has taught me countless lessons, that there is no way I could list them all, so I will tell you the one that is most important to me. The Mindy Project taught me being Indian is empowering af. My culture isn't something I have always been proud of, and in fact I used to be embarrassed by it. Ultimately it boiled down to being in a school of predominantly white children. I never saw Indian women being bigged up or doing great thing, the only time I ...
