Beauty Secret: the cleanser

This is my fav product for my face, it clears away all of my make up at the end of the day and tones my skin in the morning. The seaweed mixture is perfect for my combination skin as it does not heavily moisturise or dry it out. Also as I don't wear make up that often any more it leaves my skin refreshed and ready for the day. It really does clarify and make my skin clear of blemishes and spots.

Body Shop
Seaweed clarifying toner
£7.00

I would really recommend this product to any one with combination skin (oily in some places dry in others) that have trouble with spots or if your just looking for a good toner! x

Beauty Secret : The body scrub

As some of you may know I'm more of a fashion addict than a beauty addict, but I believe they both really go hand in hand. So I've decided to let you in on a few of my beauty secrets that make me feel extra special.


Body Shop
Mango body scrub
usually £12.50 but its now on sale online for £9.37!
This little gem I have to say is one of my favourite products! Not only does it leave you skin amazingly smooth it has a moisturising base so it does not dry out our skin at all! Also your skin smells of mangoes ALL DAY! even after you moisturise and spray deodorant, perfume and all sorts!

This is defo an essential buy for me x

Custom made


Over the past couple of weeks I have been experimenting with my sewing and knitting skills and just decided to customise some old denim I was bored with.

I took some african material and hand stitched it onto my jeans shorts and denim shirt. I love to customise I'm looking to use studs and spikes next but its so hard to find spikes locally and I hate getting stuff like that online!

If you have any enquires or you want me to customise a piece of your clothing contact me through email : ookoye@btinternet.com

I used orange thread on the shorts to contrast with the green print, I also used a vintage scarf as a belt.


I used a deep purple thread to stand out against all the colours on this material with my denim shirt.

More to come hopefully! x

Are you inspired!?

So I decided to clean up my blog a lil bit make it fresh and clean for summer! :) What do you think!?

Even though summer is not quite upon us yet I'm already inspired maybe its because I have so much planned! Well I decided to treat you guys with a preview of what I will most likely be wearing and looks that are just genrally fabulous.

Sheer blouses and denim

Perfect for the summer! If your going to show a bit of leg keep it covered on top to keep it classy! But you will still stay cool with a nice sheer material.
     

Palazzo/ wide leg

Perfect for the summer if you want something from day to evening these trousers are perfect, so light and breezy. It's like the comfort of trousers with the flow of a skirt! 

   

The coloured jean

I had to represent with my internship brand! BBS jeans with their amazing coloured jeans available in pastel and neon shades! I can also tell you I have seen a preview of next seasons jeans and they are too die for!!! Think of a cross between leather pants and jeans, sounds crazy but the look is gorgeous! 

With a coloured jean you could either colour block with a bright coloured tank top of just keep it simple with a white top.
                            

The split maxi dress

The maxi dress and skirt has been around for a while but try mixing it up with a maxi dress with a side split and racer back! I actually have this dress already in black and orange. It is perfect for a day out in the sun, looks great with a wedge or sandal, and you can throw over a top or shirt to change up the look! 

Dip hem skirts

I am yet to try one of these on but I love the look of them!


Mesh and crop and cut out!

Mesh to me is great because your showing a bit of skin but hiding it at the same time keeping it chic and classy and notice the neon and pastel colours are really popular right now!

Again cut outs for the summer another way to show a bit of skin but keep it classy and far from tacky! *keep an eye out for maxi dresses with cut outs!* They also look great!
  

Crop tops look great with denim shorts, disco pants and high waited skirts! Great for the summer.



Shades

I need a pair of round shades in my life for the summer! It's about the only pair I need to add to my collection! :)
