Autumn is Approaching

Now the weather is getting cooler, well it was...I started to dig out some of my Autumn clothes. I do get quite excited when I can go back to long sleeves, jumpers and scarves! Although it's just got really hot again so I guess I'll have to wait for Autumn a bit longer.

Shoes: French Sole; jeans and top; Zara: hat, scarf, shades; H&M. 

Carrie Crush

I was slightly hungover and very, very hot on Saturday so I took my inspiration from a Carrie Bradshaw outfit to go house hunting with my man. Here's Carrie's version followed by mine, please ignore the hungover face!

I'm slightly more tubular and significantly less tanned than Carrie, but I quite like it, what do you think?

Shoes & skirt; H&M: T-shirt; River Island: bracelets; Topshop.

80s Child

Sorry I've been AWOL yet again guys! I've been stuck doing work constantly, which is sooooo depressing! And I've moved house! However the good news is school ends on 23rd July and I'm not going back in September, yay! So should have much more time to work on here and on the magazine. Another piece of good news is that since I've moved I now have a really cool roof I can take pictures on, as you can see above! Yup that's London in the background, you can just about see the London Eye. Different views to come soon. I've been taking lots of pictures but haven't posted any. I promise I am now attempting to catch up, so keep your eyes open for new posts!

Anyway, I wore this outfit for a lazy day last Sunday. I got dressed then realised just how 80s it was, which I love! Yes the 80s had bad hair and dodgy makeup but I really, really love the clothes! These jeans are such a go to piece at the moment in my wardrobe, which is cool considering I wasn't too sure when I bought them. I wasn't sure on the whole distressed denim thing; there was too much of it on British boybands back in the 90s for my liking! However am I now officially a convert...so long as it's on girls that is!

Hope you're all having a good week!

Portugal

Over Easter I was lucky enough to go to Portugal with my parents for 5 nights. We stayed in a glorious resort right on the seafront next to a cute town. We ate loads of really good food and definitely drank a lot of awesome wine! It was the perfect Easter holiday and most of the clothes I packed were my birthday present from my awesome man :D Here's part one of my holiday diary. Mirror selfies I'm afraid, best I could do!

1. Travelling outfit, you'll never catch me in a tracksuit at the airport I'm afraid. This outfit is really comfy but still looks neat and stylish, perfect: shirt, blazer, trousers; Zara: scarf, ring; H&M: hat; Accesorize.
2. & 3. Exploring the local area. How cute is this top? I love that it's longer at the front than the back for a change, means I can eat as much as I want at lunch without worrying about my food baby: jeans; Topshop: top; gift, Zara: shades; H&M.
4. Heading out for dinner: jeans & thin gold bracelets; Topshop: top (gift); Zara seen here: shades: H&M.
5. & 6. Looking round town. I've loved this skirt ever since I bought it. I mean it's bright orange and has pockets! I have a new found obsession for this hat! Skirt & top (gift); Zara: shades; H&M: watch; Guess.
7. Going out for dinner, which was delicious. Oh yeh, totally got a Hello Kitty henna tattoo on my last day: dress (gift) & bracelet; H&M: necklace; Topshop; earrings; gift.

Birthday Swag

My amazing boyfriend got me like 11 new items of clothing for my birthday because he rules and knows the way to my heart! I wore this top the day he gave them to me and packed the rest to go on holiday with the next day. Easy holiday packing for once! It's a size large, but I love the oversized fit this gives. A holiday diary is soon to come! Oh yeh, it was totally windy this day too, a good look no?

Shoes, jeans & cape; Topshop: top; Zara: Sunglasses; H&M

Proof Reading

Please excuse the face and posing....quite drunk in this picture! I thought that I'd show you that I practice what I preach! Here is my bustier over a t-shirt look. I wore this for a night out with colleagues and love it! It covers my stomach, which isn't ready for a night out in full view, but I can still wear a cute bustier top, yay! I wrote about it this style in the trends page of April En Vie which you can read here. I hope you're enjoying reading En Vie as much as I am enjoying editing and writing for it!

Jeans, bustier & necklace; Topshop: T-shirt; H&M: shoes; Zara.

New Hair

These photos were taken the day I toned my hair down from white blonde to a more natural look. I mainly did this because I can't afford the money or the time to keep up the bleached blonde look, sad times! No doubt I'll revisit the Gwen Stefani look again though as this is my second time already! I wore this outfit for dinner with my man (yup, we do a lot of that, haha).

Shoes & leather trousers; Zara: faux fur coat; H&M: top; Versace for H&M: clutch; Topshop

Back for Good?

Well, I've been ridiculously busy and also away for a little holiday, so sorry I haven't posted in aaaages! But I have been taking photos so keep an eye on here for lots of new posts! :D

Relaxed outfit for dinner with my man a while ago now. Love this slouchy cardigan, and you all know I'm partial to a jumpsuit!

Cardigan & jumpsuit; H&M: flats; Zara.

Wooh, wooh! It's a onsie!

I'm partial to some onsie action and here's my latest offering from H&M. It's one you can dress up or down. I've dressed it down here for a day in the sun a couple of weekends ago.

Valentine's Swag

How awesome is this jumper? It was one of my many Valentine's presents from my gorgeous boyfriend. Best thing is, he bought me two awesome tops from Zara without asking me first and he got the size and style perfectly right! And the jumper is soooooooooooooooo soft on the inside. I love that it just randomly says people on the front too. I rediscovered this skirt in my wardrobe and fell in love with it all over again. It's so floaty and sheer. I can't  wait to pair it with some lightweight pastel knits for spring in a whimsical way (or maybe not whimsical, but I like the word, it brings connotations of spring).

Skirt, jumper; Zara; shoes; Topshop: sunglasses; H&M.

Saturday at the museum

I finally got to go to the Club to Catwalk exhibition at the V&A on Saturday and it was AWESOME! I loved being able to get so close to some iconic pieces from the 80s. Perhaps my favourite was the toga dress with Andy Warhol print from Vivienne Westwood's Nostalgia of Mud collection (A/W 82-83). I've always wanted to own one and this was a good second best! I highly recommend you go and see this collection and then take advantage of the free exhibition of fashion through the ages too.

This is what I wore for my Saturday out. After the museum we went to Covent Gardens and then on to Waterloo to meet some friends for drinks. I was incredibly tired by the time these pictures were taken so please excuse the sleepy look.

Casual Go To

Hey guys, can't sleep due to one hell of a cold so just waiting for the drugs to kick in (by which I mean Lemsip and Beechams and such). I figured whilst I wait I'd share these pictures from Sunday with you. This is such a go to casual outfit of mine. It's really comfy but doesn't swamp me like some of my at home only comfort outfits (giant hoodies and kigurumi anyone?). Anyway, my gorgeous boyfriend took these pictures again for me, I'm thinking he's going to do well as my new photographer. Right I'm off to pass out now, I hope! If you can't wait for my posts then I am on instagram now too! Find me here http://instagram.com/fashionchuhi

New Photographer!

So these are the first pics taken by new new photographer aka my lovely new boyfriend. Not bad right? Wore this out to Sunday lunch with the man himself last weekend. I bought this coat in H&M in October, I think, for £30.00; bargain right?! I am soooo in love with it! I rediscovered these shoes, well I managed to get all my work done so could leave the house at the weekend actually, and I love them all over again! It's so nice to not be stuck in all weekend in my pj's EVERY weekend :D

Coming Home

So on our last day of the holidays it rained, but that was OK as we spent the day in the Palace of the Grand Masters. Then the Museum of Archaeology, which is AMAZING and then had a 2 and a half hour and slightly boozy late lunch. After that it was time to head home.

Couldn't decide which picture was best! This white jumper I bought from Topshop has been so worth it. I've worn it loads and it's really comfy! I'm also in love with, basically, what is a floral shell suit, who knew they'd be back?!

Ancient Kamiros

Hello, on Tuesday we had the best day ever! I am a total history nerd and so I very much enjoyed spending a few hours looking around the ancient ruins of a city that was destroyed by an earthquake, well 2 to be exact. After the second one the residents upped and left. Don't blame them really. You get to actually go down into the ruins and walk down the main street, in the temples and around the houses. I loved it! :D

To the sea and Butterfly Valley (with no butterflies)

Due to going a little pink yesterday and also being eaten alive by insects, I decided to stay covered up today so repeated an outfit from earlier in the week, but with different shoes.
Just been doing some uni work but off to get ready for dinner! It's been so sunny today, I love it and don't ever want to come home.

Wedge trainers; Zara: trousers and jumper; Topshop: cap; H&M

Last night's dinner

...was delicious! And here's a quick pic of what I wore...

...and where I wore it to...

Unfortunately must stop procrastinating and get back to my uni work, but I'll put up some pictures of our trip to the Lindos acropolis by donkey later!

Shoes, trousers, top; Zara: jacket; H&M: necklace; New Look.

Going for a paddle

It was pretty cold, but so blue and clear! It's really late here, like 1.50am so off to bed. Night!

Blue Sea, Blue Sky, Ancient Ruins and a Medieval Town

Today was gloriously sunny and we spent most of the day in the Old Town of Rhodes. We also took a trip up a mountain to see an old monastery and some amazing views. There were so many peacocks there, and I think it might be mating season as the males were totally facing off with each other. They're so noisy! I also didn't know peacocks could fly (I know, I know...) I mean I thought they were like chickens, like low flying scrappy kinda thing, but apparently not! We went back into Rhodes Old Town for dinner and saw these cute medieval windmills (last picture) before we stuffed our faces at a fantastic restaurant. So far I'm loving Rhodes!

Oh yeh, we also drove through Faliraki but it was completely closed! Even the supermarkets had empty shelves, so weird! Although probably much more attractive than an open Faliraki!
