Hello there!

As I am writing this I cannot help but point out that my exams start this Friday! I am admittedly very nervous, I hope the time goes quickly for me so that I can look forward to a summer full of spending time with friends and doing all the stuff I always wanted to do, plus of course, the usual holiday to Dubai! (!) Also, this is sort of a little random, but a couple of weeks ago I must have mentioned the fashion show I was holding for charity. I am ecstatic to inform you all that that fashion show raised a phenomenal £1010! I am so pleased with the figure as well as where the money is going to.

With this outfit I was going for the whole understated look. I often think that we live in a society which is so big and brash and always keen to make a statement, that we forget the more simpler things in life. The same kind of theory also applies to fashion, I often think that the industry is often so caught up in trying to make a big statement with everything it does, that it can miss out the simple things which are just as beautiful.

I love this slouchy grey tee which I bought from Topshop, it's definitely a multi-purpose piece which can easily transition from day to night. For this outfit I paired it with my trusty dark blue denim jeans, I honestly do believe that a simple pair of skinny jeans can seriously go a long way. And finally I chose my simple black wedges from Koi Couture to complete the outfit; with shoes I like to keep a few statement 'goes with everything' kind of pieces as well as a few wildcards.

I hope you all have a good week, and those of you with exams cropping up: good luck!

Love from,

Miss Iffa

Vermillion

Jumper - c/o She Likes

Skirt - River Island

Scarf - Aubin & Wills

Boots - Kurt Geiger

Rings (top to bottom) - Thriftette, Accessorize, Topshop

Hello there!

I was recently sent this beautiful jumper from She Likes, it's a really flattering piece with two small pockets at the front. The length is just perfect, not too long or too short, making it perfect to wear with jeans or a skirt. Despite how chunky it looks in the pictures, the jumper is surprisingly lightweight, making it the perfect trasition piece from spring to summer. Plus, for just £18.00, I genuinely believe this jumper is a bargain!

I decided to pair the jumper with this midi denim skirt, I love the acid wash finish to the denim, and it's the perfect alternative to wearing just a pair of skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are definitely a staple for every girl's wardrobe, but I would be lying if I didn't admit that sometimes I prefer to mix it up a little; hence why I went for this denim skirt instead.

I haven't really gotten up to much this week, except for painting my nails and drooling over the incredible Elie Saab SS13 show! I received a paper-copy of Cosmopolitan India magazine this week, I'm still so overwhelmed at the fact I am featured in it, it's such an honour! I hope you are all well and I wish you the best for the week ahead!

My First Blogger Event! Thriftette x Waiste

Me with Sarah from Nifty Thrifts and Lola from Pastime Bliss

Me with Amy from Amy Valentine! (Cue fangirl moment!)

Hello there!

Long time, no blog! I have recently been bogged down with so much work, and with exams just around the corner, it has meant I am finding less and less time to blog. Do not fret, however, as I love blogging and have no intention of giving it up any time soon, and as soon as we break up for the summer holidays, I will be blogging much more frequently than I do now.

I am really excited to tell you all about my first ever blogger event! I went with my best friend and blogger Sarah, to celebrate the launch of Waiste's new collection at Thriftette. Waiste is a brand set up by Sara, (check out her personal style blog here) selling reworked and customised denim. Her incredible jackets have even been seen on Cara Delevigne to name but one! The new Waiste collection is a feast for the eyes, with lashings of crochet and delicate embroidery adorned onto beautiful denim jackets, I just loved the concept of making a denim jacket a statement piece within an outfit. You can check out the whole collection here as well as perusing Thriftette's wonderful online store here.

I got to meet a few lovely bloggers, such as Lola from Pastime Bliss, Sarah from Fashion Dotty and Amy from Amy Valentine. They are all such incredibly talented people and such an honour and pleasure to meet! I have to admit, I was so excited to meet Amy, as I've been a keen reader of her blog for as long as I can remember!

I have also been making a couple of YouTube videos recently. This one is about the Thriftette x Waiste event, but you can also have a look at more of my videos here.

Eastern Touch

Necklace - Topshop

Hello!

I am British born with roots all over the east. Growing up, I loved the cultural aspects of both worlds; the different fashions and traditions fascinated me. I honestly refrain from only embodying fashions from one culture, no matter where you are from; I believe we should embody other cultures as much as we can, experience as much as we can to discover who we truly are and what our style is truly like. Despite what background you are from, I think it is very important to embrace other cultures and explore their fashions too, you'll never know what might end up loving!

I was really excited about posting this outfit on my blog, it's a mixture of eastern and western clothing, and I haven't done anything like since way back in the early days of my blog. I really love the fashion from my culture, so I embrace Indian and Pakistani clothing with open arms! I decided to mix it up a little by adding a classic brown coat and skinny jeans, giving the outfit a more modern touch. I just adore the floatiness of the kaftan dress, and the embroidery is really like nothing out there.

It's been a while since I last posted, unfortunately this is because of exams! I have exams coming up in May, and hence I will be finding it difficult to blog as frequently. Do not fret, however, as I hope I can continue to blog in a somewhat regular pattern. I am also planning on holding a blog sale and making more YouTube videos in the coming weeks, so watch this space!

Pinafore

Top (underneath) - Topshop

Pinafore Dress - Vintage @ Pop Boutique

Scarf - Vintage @ Pop Boutique

Boots - Koi Couture

Hello!

I bought this pinafore dress a while ago whilst shopping with friends, I had been looking for a pinafore dress everywhere but couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I also found it difficult to justify spending £50-£60 on pinafore dresses from other high street stores, so if you're looking for a cheaper alternative, I would definitely recommend checking out some local vintage shops! When I stumbled across this piece I was head-over-heels as I felt that the boldness and quirkiness of the pattern definitely represented my style. I gave the 60's inspired dress a heritage vibe by pairing the dress with brown boots, a simple yet classic staple part to any girl's wardrobe! This outfit was ridiculously cosy, with credit to the lovely wool scarf which may be familiar to you all from some of my previous posts.

This week has been ridiculously hectic for me! Along with masses of homework I also managed to hold a fashion show, in collaboration with boohoo.com - more on this in my later posts! Organising a fashion show involves a lot of time, perseverance and organisation from all members of the team, it was an unforgettable experience and I am so pleased with how successful it was. All the money we made from ticket sales is going to charity, so it was surely a win-win outcome for everyone.

Capes That Fly

Top - Topshop

Cape - Zara

Skirt - New Look

Boots - Koi Couture

Hello!

Ok first of all I have some super duper big news to share with you! I have kept it a secret for so long and now I'm excited to finally be sharing the big news with you! I'M IN COSMOPOLITAN INDIA MAGAZINE! Aaaaah! It's so crazy and surreal and it's such a huge honour to be featured in such a well known and wonderful magazine! 

It's me! I'm in a magazine! Aaaaah! I just can't believe it! 

Ok ok, so moving on to the outfit; I'm obsessed with capes at the moment. After seeing so many street style pictures of people wearing capes in so many different ways, I was inspired to try and find my own cape and wear it in my own style. I found this coat/cape from Zara, and although it's more of a summer garment  I was desperate to wear it; despite the weather being so cold that your toes would probably fall off in it.

I hope you all have a lovely start to the week, speak to you soon!

Love from,

Miss Iffa

Hello!

How are you all? It has been a while since I last blogged, but not to worry, as I love blogging too much to ever leave it for good! It's been a hectic few weeks, I am proud to announce that I am organising a fashion show! It is to be held next Wednesday, and I will make sure to include some photos in my upcoming posts.

I really love layering, I truly believe that no outfit is complete without the addition of a vital scarf or that all important cardigan. There's something about layering which really appeals to me, maybe it's just the inevitable cosy look of a layered up outfit, or perhaps it's just the fact you get to wear all your favourite garments in one go. Well whatever it is, I think that layering is certainly one of my signature looks (along with hot pink lipstick, I kid you not!)

Lately I've been obsessed with cooking! Recently I've made a delicious homemade banana and vanilla ice cream and a red velvet cake. Uncannily enough, everything I have cooked up so far has been a dessert! You can follow me on Instagram (my username is simply missiffa) to follow up on my cooking adventures.

Love from,

Miss Iffa
