 waking up to waffles and ice-cream on my bday ((so the diets going well then))// a quote that i found, thats so relevant right now// selfies with my lil muffin
made one of those mug cakes and it actually was proper tasty ((instead of nutella, I used jam and used oats and half the amount of flour and dashed in some raisins))

OOTD: i don't know about you, but i'm feeling 22..(well actually 18)

ello ello ello, pinch, punch and all that. so it's 1st June, and it's my BIRTH MONTH. i don't usually get excited for my birthday because these past years its been pretty crap, but hoping and praying that this year will break the chain of depressing birthdays. I also have a couple events planned to go to this month and i also started the squat, crunches and plank challenge ((gotta get that flat stomach and perky bum...i actually do alot more crunches and the plank is alot longer because it literally burns more and i just love to feel that burn because i know i'm doing actual work)), so here's to a new month and a new start....






dress - H&M// necklace - Forever 21// boots - random shop near my house// socks - Topshop// Waist-Jacket - Primark

so I am really not a dress person. I will usually only wear a dress like this if I really have to, or if i'm going to some sort of occasion. This dress is very Taylor Swift-esque, and don't get me wrong, I love me some t-swizzle, but her style is not my style. If I wear a dress, its defo not going to be a lace one like this....BUT yesterday I found this dress at the back of my wardrobe that my good ol' pally ally gave to me some time ago, and I mainly didn't wear it because it didn't even fit before, but now it does (its actually a bit big now) and teamed with some chelsea boots/biker boots and a statement jacket, it adds a bit more of ME to the outfit. If you wanted it more girly, you could wear a denim jacket (with or without sleeves) and some ballet flats. For some reason, I see this as a really cute 'date outfit'. now I just need the boyfriend part *sigh*

oh Mickey, you so fine

Helloooo beauties, this week i've been a right ol' busy bee and thank God we had that long weekend because it was truely needed. I'm going to do a 'my week in instagrams/pictures' more often because i did one before and i really liked it and if you're a nosey parker like me, you'll love these cheeky little insights into peoples lifes. Anywaysss, soo on with the outfit... 








denim jacket - vintage a.k.a it was my dads in like the 90's// shirt under jacket - newlook// mickey mouse crop top & tights - primark// high-waisted disco shorts & creepers - ebay

so, I LOVE disney. disney. disney. disney. I might not be skipping around reciting all the words to The Little Mermaid or Cinderella, with daises in my hair and constantly living cute little dresses, but i really do love disney. Mickey Mouse is my home dawwwwwg. ((if anyone would like to transport me to disneyland and I can live there forever, that would be great)).
So Primark have really been bringing out some nice bits. When I saw this crop top, I quickly picked it up and put it in my basket...I then realised it weren't my size so I had to actually get my size. I really love it as it can go with sooooo many things and its all vintage-mickey, which I lurrrve. I bought the tights on a different day and paired with these disco shorts (dupes), creepers and a denim jacket, it gives me a 'Mickey goes grunge' look.  

thoughts on the outfit? love disney, like me? also, what's up with disney channel nowadays....'dog with a blog'...really????

love, peace and chicken grease

walk into Topshop, like whaddup, I can't afford anything

Helloooooooooo, 
soo, usually i've give you an update on life or whatever in this little opening paragraph, but theres not much i can say (well theres alot, but we'll save that for a later post) all i can say is, its been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster this week. Things are a bit cray cray, but always look on the bright side of life right? right? anyways, before we get too deep on a post that is supposed to just be about an outfit, let keep calm and curry on..(yess CURRY)...









Top - Primark *unknown price* //Skirt - Ebay.co.uk - £11.99// Converse - Schuh - £43 // Shirt - market stall in Brick Lane - £2.50

ok, so I know we all do that thing where like something that's suddenly in fashion looks so like "what even was the designer thinking?" at first, and then after a while you're all like "ok, its actually alright" well, that's how I felt when I first saw these tops with the cut out shoulders. I just thought (and said many times) what a random place to cut out, like why would you just have your shoulders out like that, but the other day I went to that dangerous zone which steals all my money....Primark *dun dun dun*. I never go into Primark without buying pretty much the whole shop, or I pick up everything, try it all on and then put half the stuff back when I realise my billionaire mind doesn't quite match with my empty bank account *sigh* but so anyways, I went to the wonderland that is Primark and started picking up a few bits and saw this top and was like "errrmahgerrrrrd im getting it", when a couple months ago, I saw these kind of cut-out shoulder tops and wouldn't even bat an eyelid at 'em. I hope to get some more tops with cut out shoulders and i can't wait to style 'em. I'm sure the next trend will be cut out elbows...*watch this space* 

thoughts on the outfit? does Primark ((or any other shop)) eat all your money?

byeeeee

love, peace and chicken grease

OOTD: im a barbie girl, in a barbie world

 Hello beauties, so the nice weather we were having decided to go for a little holiday, but it weren't too bad, but to be honest i'm waiting for the 30 degrees weather, then i'll get excited or just a one way trip to a hot country. hey ho, on with the outfit...







Crop Top and Creepers - Ebay// Dungarees - boohoo.com// Tights - Primark// Denim Jacket - (used to be my dads  // Shirt (under jacket) - Newlook *sale*

so a couple months ago, I saw a vintage looking Barbie jumper and joggers set on asos.com and I couldn't myself wearing it, but it did catch my eye. I can't even remember how many barbies I had as a child and when I saw it just brought back all those memories of playing with my barbies in my room, making up stories about their life's with my other dolls wishing it was my life (now thinking about it, its actually quite sad..hmm). but anywaaaays, last week I saw this crop top on Ebay and I was just like "ermahgerrrrrrrrd, i.need.that.now" and for only a fiver, I was typing in my details faster than you can say "barbie". I'm not sure if you can see the huge ladder in my tights which I created myself to get that "grunge look"...ok actually, in typical Shekinah-ness, as I was putting them on for the 1st time I ripped it and I just werk..yes WERKed with it. *three snaps in a Z formation*

thoughts on the outfit?? anyone else really wanted a volkswagen beetle because barbie had one?
