One thing you need for spring

Florals, florals and more florals. I have stocked up on my favourites and I will mix and match them to death I tell you, to death!!!! Lol. I got this skirt from Marks and Spencer last summer and it has served me. And I paired it with an off shoulder stripe shirt, florals and stripe are always a match made in heaven  Straw hat similar here Off shoulder shirt from boohoo M&S skirt (old) Bag from TK maxx  Below are some of my fav high street pieces  Floral River Island trousers River Island floral top River Island Floral skirt I love this sheer dress from River Island too This missguided dress is so easy, beautiful soft colours with frills and soft flowers. I am in love  Not all florals are equal. All my purchases are currently leaning towards Japanese looking prints. I am so feeling love for this dress not only with the Japanese print but also the kimono sleeves and belt.  Who can resist  wide leg trousers. These babies from Marks and Spencer are just the right colour ?. Now let me take you to a secret place where men are trying to wear florals y'all. Did the bible not warn of such atrocities? Men in women's clothing? ?. Asos has some seriously floral fantastic pieces for men. This made me angry at first, like sue worthy anger. But I calmed down when I realised that we could wear mens clothing and not bat an eyelid.  Can you see how delicious these print trousers are ? ASOS mens print trousers So buttercups, head on to the shops and swap your winter knits for floral magic.  Until next time ? 

This colour is controlling my life and I can’t make it stop 

You guessed it. MUSTARD yellow. Worris all this. I am gravitated to everything mustard at the moment and had to recently return a pair of trousers because I had something so similar in the same colour. With all the mustard in my wardrobe, I can wear this colour for two weeks without repeating an outfit. That is alot of mustard. My trousers are from zara (in the sale) and top from asos which I bought 152 years ago. But don't worry I have my favourite mustard pieces for you to shop below. How dare you not absolutely love this colour. See below for deets. Newlook mustard trousers here Topshop top here Boohoo dress here  One nation dress here  Chic wish faux leather skirt here  Two part court shoes here Mules here  Until next time guys.muah 

Colour lover’s guide to monochrome

Ok all colour lovers everywhere, as your ultimate queen of Colourville and all things colourststic , I come to you with good news. We can wear monochrome guys, we can and I am here to tell you how.  I often see people on instagram with zero colour on their feed hash tagging #allblackerrthang #monochromemagic #greyisthenewblack #minimalistlife. I get it, i really do, that's what you like and that's fine but all I see is #WhatHasLifeDoneToYou #WhatHappenedToYourChildhood #WhoHurtYou #WhereYourSoulAt lol. I joke oh before you send  your queen after me (Janelle Monea) ?. After several days of deliberation, in every attempt not to get my soul get soaked into monochrome hell faya, I thought I have to make this fun. So this is what I did. I got all textures of black known to man (silky, patent, cotton, lasercut) and paired it up with nude pumps and clutch. I had to do something to distract myself. Patent trousers made me feel 100 bucks, I just loved the biker details on it and of course my laser cut duster just gave it a more playful fun look. Check me out below  Outfit deets Accessories @byopaleye  Trousers Zara (Sale) Shoes Ravel £40 on sale here Shirt Ralph Lauren Bag Very.co.uk £14 in the sale  I hope you go out there and Slay this week guys. Until next time buttercups.

Blogger favourite bomber

Ok guys I am here for a confession.  I need to get things off my chest. Hi, my name is Alero and I am a shipping addict.  I shop for fun, I shop when I feel sad, I shop and eat when I am happy, I shop in the street, in the train and everywhere ?. That felt good, better than jellof rice and fried goat meat on Christmas Eve at 1am ?.  I am the Queen of chasing sold out items. I call customer service y'all, I call them and ask them to reserve items and can cross oceans to get my items, I don't joke pipo.  This pink silky bomber was not excempt from that hot pursuit. It is  by Mango and came out when no one else was doing silky bombers. Bloggers were slaying with it up and down and this deeply troubled me because I didn't have it and it was sold out, so naturally I was on the phone to Mango with very stern words ?. One day as if woken by the holy spirit, I went on my emails at 4.40am and saw an email from Mango that it was back in stock for like 30 minutes and sold out again. Jesus answered my prayers. Me and my jacket were finally reunited 3 days later by DHL who I will always love and respect for the work they do for society ?. See below some favourite looks from bloggers that nearly made me jump off a bridge due to a sold out bomber jacket lol. I have gone for a more edgy look to style mine, like a Riri inspired look Bomber Mango (sold out) alternatives below Dress hnm £4 (sale) Boots public desire  Boohoo ⬆ Very.co.uk ⬆ Hope you are united with your favourite items soon guys. Until next time buttercups.

This trend is never going away

... so get on it and tailor it the way you feel comfortable.   C O L O U R   B L O C K I N G My love for colour is no secret, colour blocking was made for me. As for you monochromist, don't switch off, I found a way for you to wear colour so you dont fry up like a 400 year old vampire in the hot African sun.  I block with any colour at all, I block with colours that are not even real like Mauve, Azure and beige. Oh lawd beige, lets not go there, beige is DEAD to me now so let's move on.  There are hardly any rules and there are a million ways to block.  Below, this fabulous blogger has stuck to similar colours and paired with a neutral coat to make it chic. Below, the colours are a bit bolder. Blues and greens are very wintery colours and work so well together. If you are that scared of bold colours, please choose softer colours like baby pink. Go for more pastels colours and pair with greys, camels.  For people who out rightly hate colour (YOU MONSTER YOU!), add white to the mix and colour blocking with accessories like your hand bag or shoes. In a true fashion as the Queen of colour, I have gone for the brightest in the land. I feel like Joseph with his multi colour coat strutting myself down the streets of London like I own the place ?.  What I am wearing  Jumper: H&m Skirt: H&m Shoes: Dune Bag: River Island  That's all for me folks, I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please comment below what you think. Until next time buttercups.
