I recently got this lip set from Sephora while I was visiting the Broadway branch in NYC. Being a huge fan of neutral lip shades, I couldn't resist grabbing this off the shelf! Here what it includes:

Sephora's Collection Rouge Infusions The Neutrals in #19Peony : A gorgeous lip gloss that doesn't feel sticky but applies smoothly and has a fab pop of a deep pink colour.

Make Up Forever's Artist #PiexiGloss202 : This light coloured pink lip gloss is my least favourite of all the products in the kit! Moreso because the colour clashes with my tan skin tone and feels sticky and goey.

Tarte's Amazonian Butter Lipstick in #CoralBlossom : A beautiful netrual pink that is smooth and silky with a hint of glitter.

Marc Jacobs le Marc lip crème in #Ja'taime : This is probably my fave and most used product! It has such a vibrant pinky/red colour to it! It's prefect for both a daytime and evening look.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lip in #Lolita : This matte lip gloss is my go to everyday lipstick! It has a lovely neutral undertone but still gives a touch of a dark brown colour which complements my tan skin colour perfectly! And my fave thing of all has to be the fact that this colour will not budge and has super long lasting (check out our previous posts on instagram if you want to see what the colour looks like on my lips).

Let me know if you have tried the set or any of these individually, what do you think of them?

Girly catch up lunch today was at Sushi Samba. If you love views, rooftops and sushi this place is a must!

Since the restaurant is fine dining we knew we had to order quite a few dishes considering the portion sizes were relitavely small.

For starters, we ordered salt and pepper calamari & shrimp tempura (both super tasty especially the shrimp!).

For mains we went for the sea bass tempura, which literally melted in your mouth. Another main was the mushroom tobanyaki (very strong mushroom taste), perfect for all mushroom lovers.

Next was the sushi platter. We got the samba london, yoyogi & tokyo sky tree. Amazing. So flavourful and fresh.

Also, as an extra side dish we tried the beef sliders (enough for 1 person), which to our surprise were HALAL! It wasn't on the menu, but thankfully we asked and.. the meat was perfectly cooked and very juicy. 

 For desserts, we got the assorted mochi (good but the other desserts were better), chocolate banana cake (mouth-watering, gooey and chocolatey), with love from rio (you'll love it if you love the taste of coffee) & the passion fruit cake (wow, the flavours of the cake, ganache and ice cream were all so refreshingly vibrant).

The excellent quality of service definitely enriched our experience - especially since we turned up late to our booking and they still held our table!

As a bonus we happened to be there during sunset and the view from their bar/lounge was UNREAL. Would recommend even just going to the restaurant just for the view, that's how good it was!!

We will be visiting again soon!

For anyone who has the pleasure of living in London, knows exactly how beautiful and predictable the weather can be (excuse the sarcasm lol). So what on earth do you wear when its cloudy, miserable and raining cats and dogs outside?! I want to keep warm but still be fashionable. This last minute outfit I feel fits in quite perfectly with the weather, is keeping on trend and is a nice transition outfit from summer into autumn.

Right, let’s get down to the nitty gritty and some details of the outfit.

• Waistcoat: River Island (£50).

Now I have been looking for an excuse to wear this gorgeous piece, and I feel this waistcoat was a perfect finish to the outfit. I mean who doesn’t love a waistcoat? Again it stays on trend, but most importantly keeps you warm with its thick material, and still allows you to rock what you wearing underneath too. I mean who wants to carefully pick out a top, only to be covered by a coat?! I also love the way the beautiful nude tone of the waistcoat gives a very subtle yet luxurious finish too!

• Jumper & White T-shirt: H&M (£10 and £12).

I don’t know about you guys but I can be so hopeless at layering. But, I love how the addition of the white t-shirt makes the outfit and brown plain jumper pop out, making the overall look a lot more interesting, giving it that casual chic look.

• Jegging: New Look (£12.99)

Jeggings have to be another one of favs! So comfy yet so simply and stylish. Did I mention they are comfortable? These jeans fit my legs nicely and hug my curves (and belly) in the right way too!

• Accessories

My main and daily accessories consist of a Michael Kors watch and silver bracelet from Topshop (both worn together). I am also wearing Primark shoes and a choker with pearl bead finishing. Last but not least this outfit was completed by my tan tones Michael Kors bag. It complimented the outfit perfectly with the different shades of nudes and browns.

The end of summer is upon us, this means the relaxing, long holidays in London have come to an end. The sense of reality starts kicking in when you know you have to wake up at 6am to catch your flight back to Dubai on a 7 hour flight. Ugh. 

Don't get me wrong I love travelling but wearing tight skinny jeans would only lead up to a lot of fidgeting and being stuck in uncomfortable positions for the rest of the flight. I for one believe in travelling comfortably, but the struggle is how do you create a balance between being comfy and chic? 

I believe this outfit is the perfect mixture of both these styles. The black top allowed me to be more creative with what I would pair with it as it's a universal colour, as well as the long sleeve allows it to be culturally appropriate for Dubai.

I opted for the 'printed pant' to travel in as it's loose but still fitted. Considering Zara trousers are expensive, I luckily bought these on sale. The black and white aztec/geometric print, fit the colour palette well and the cotton material allowed me to sit comfortably on the plane.

These espadrilles took me FOREVER to find! They are in so much demand due to its popularity so when I saw them I had to buy them!! The quality is amazing, it's light on my feet and it has lasted me so long. 

I hope this gave you some inspiration for your next travel outfit :)
