Timeless… Monochrome

October 17, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Just when you think something is going out of fashion and BOOM it comes back bigger than ever.

There are no fancy words needed monochrome is….

Timeless

Perfect for most occasions and that “ohh so chic look ”

To achieve this look I threw on this sleeveless duster coat onto what would have been an all black looks.
Interesting how it completely changes things up.

Thought I had better warn you.. I have been living in my turtle neck/ roll neck as the weather changes. It looks so trendy. .. even If I say so myself. You will be seeing more of this.

Don’t you just love the swoooshhh of these duster jackets.💨💨💨💨

Dearest Topshop… Thank YOU !!

October 11, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Dear Topshop,

I just want to say

Thank you.

Thank you for still having a tall section in a majority of your stores. To often have I seen the tall section shunted to the tiny corner (usually at the very back of the store), you will be lucky if you find a rack of tall clothing in the stores who have a tall range. In many cases its totally non existent…. zero… zilch…nadah…diddly-squat.
As if we tall ladies do not matter or exist.
“Am so sorry you can only shop the range online now”.
“The full collection is only online”

We only exist in cyber space !

No it’s not the largest collection nor the most trendy but my god is it refreshing to see.

Ok…. rant over
Bye 😚😚
Catch me on instagram @ijaykheaven if we aren’t already friends.

Kisses

Bright Hues

October 9, 2015 ijaykheavens 4 Comments

Sooooo a few weeks ago I become a Godmother for the very first time. Not totally sure what this new role would entail but I am completely humbled and over joyed to have even been considered. In a rather shallow manner “what to wear” was one of the first things on my mind💭💭💭💭. Yes this topic was phone conversation worthy and I am glad that wearing white was ruled out early on in the conversation. And then it hit me….

Bright hues would be brilliant for a baptism

There you have it, todays look was born.

I have been looking for a yellow blazer this shade for the longest, well, since I saw Gabrielle Union looking fabulous in one on season 1 of BMJ. Then I spotted this beauty in my local Topshop on the sales aisle. The icing on the cake was when I noticed that it was TALLLLL!!! ( Winning 👌👌🙌😄)

Not a bad match huh?

Let me know your thought on this look… you likie?

Favourite Fall Flats

October 2, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Hey Guys, I just wanted to share with you some of my Favourite Fab Fall Flats… yikes.. that’s such a tongue twister. I would not say it in a hurry if I were you.

I do love my flat days, especially for the times when practical and comfort are the rule of the day.

I fell in love with these nude patent pumps just because of the embellishment *coveringface* is that sad?? Yes I can be super girlie and I would say YES to some sparkles any day.

So pretty!

Brogues have never been so trendy. Topshop really pushed the boat out with this contrast toe cap, lace-up front and cut out style.

Hope you like my Fab Fall flats collection. Do let me know which trendy flats you have added to your shoe collection recently.

Champers in the sky

September 27, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Soooooo ….. I did the craziest thing today. I bit the bullet and booked to have Taittinger in the sky courtesy of Events in the sky (London in the sky)
I have noticed that this has come to London every September for the last 2 years.

I get bored easily so am always on the look out for the next thrilling experience. I am slowly embracing the fact that I secretly enjoy the rush and adrenaline.

This was my birthday treat…(my birthday was on the 23rd of September) what a way to start the new age💥💥💥💥

So about this experience. The pictures speak for its self. Totally breathtaking and nothing like anything I have ever done before.

I did not realise just what I had signed up for until we were 30 metres high. It doesn’t sound very high but believe me…. it’s high enough for you NOT to want to look down.
This food was light but very very tasty Courtesy of Kurobuta. I will be checking out the restaurant very soon.

I could go on but you just have to experience it yourself.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience

I thought you might like to see what I wore. Although the sun was out it was a little chilly and breezy up there so dress warm.

Soft layering

September 18, 2015 ijaykheavens 4 Comments

The only way to survive the winter chill is to layer up. I also like to use this survival tip during the autumn but to a lesser degree by SOFT LAYERING.

This sounds more technical than it actually it. Essentially it requires the laying for thin layers of clothing to achieve a cosy look as I have done here. I styled this look for my Podiatry appointment today. Its been raining cats and dogs yet the temperature is still in the high teens. Getting dressed in the morning has just gotten even more hard and confusing to avoid not being too hot during the commute and not freezing in the evening. I literally threw on layers all in the name of trying to keep warm andddddddddd Voila !!!.. a pretty trending/ edgy soft layered look.

I like this look because it can easily go from a day to a evening look, i mean drinks after work kinda vibe. My scarf was bought donkey years ago from Topshop (I am not sure why I keep using animal idioms…. promise, this is the last one). It never gets old and the fringed ends add some much needed movement to this outfit, totally bringing it to life.

Hope you liked this throwing on layers look. Dont forget to connect with me so we can be friends on instagram @ijaykheavens. See you on the next post

Upgrade your 9-5

September 4, 2015 ijaykheavens 2 Comments

Upgrading your 9-5 is not easy but it CAN be done. Interestingly, I did just that by making 2 simple changes…… to my outfit. I am talking about how I updated my 9-5 work look;););)
I am the worst for not making an effort when going to work.
But the following saying really got me thinking:

“Dress the way you want to be addressed”

Getting the balance between looking chic for work yet not over the top is a daily battle. But I think I have nailed the 2 staple peices to update any work outfit.
As we say sayonara to summer and hello fall; jackets, coats, trench coats and classic heels are the only way forward. Make sure you do not get left behind.

These shoes are the business but I can’t help but see them as casual when I wear it to work

Angle grazer trouser are great for work. They are super versatile and very comfort. With these you can bring some colour to any work environment.
Remember smart does not have to mean boring!!

As much as I love this look. Watch me totally upgrade this look to a chic work attire.

What a difference a pair of heels and a Camel Coat makes.

I had fun upgrading this work look. Going back to work on Monday should be interesting.

Earn your stripes

August 7, 2015 ijaykheavens 2 Comments

Have you earned your fashion stripes.
You have to be pretty bold and basically not give a damn to try this striking stripe on stripe combination. But guess what…. I think it totally works. Don’t you?

This ensemble has it all going on. More is surely more here. We are seeing this trend all over the fashion runway with designer taking a linear approach and mixing chunky and thin stripes, vertical and horizontal. Anything goes so there is room on the line for you to stamp your personality on this look.

This wrap front shirt does wonders for me and the neck line is very flattering. As you can see this “fab” blouse was perfectly designed for my tall limbs and the sleeves kiss my wrist perfectly.

This trend will have you on the fast track to fashionable lane.

Check out this look on the runway below
