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

Perfect Pleats

September 26, 2015 ijaykheavens 9 Comments

Skirts are essentials in every ladies wardrobe. How much better when the skirt is a midi, pleated and printed.

Yessss🙌🙌. That’s triple glory in my books.

Pleated skirts have an element of “back to school” and it reminds me of my much cherished school days. I hated my pleated kilt skirt back then. Who would have known that I would be investing in pleated skirts now. On a more serious note, this skirt is lush and it would make the perfect center piece for every outfit.

I am obsessed with movement and this skirt has got it all and a bag of chips. Although not part of the tall range at Topshop, I just had to click buy.

The sad part of life is that you can’t always get what you want, when you want it.

So this is my secret.

When I can’t find a style in the tall range, I always check out the standard range. Generally I can get away with a midi length in the standard range.

Ta daaa!!!

Never let your height make you feel disadvantaged

This shirt works so well as a high waist number. Can you see what I mean by the length. Perfect for my long legs

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.

Colour confidence

August 29, 2015 ijaykheavens 4 Comments

It’s so easy to get stuck in a rot with the summer we have had … or not had!! This feeling can reflect in the sorts of clothing you wear…or even the colours you choose. September kinda marks the beginning of the autumn season. So why not go out with a bang. I just had this urge to experiment with colours. Yes I had people craning their necks to look at me. I did wonder if I had taken it a bit too far until I realised it was stares of admiration…;);) well… so my friend told me.

Wow… this full maxi skirt is everything to me right now. Made from light fabrics so it sways and moves with every step.

Sweat patches are the bane of my life!
One of the main reasons I shy away from coloured clothing. However, I recently discovered sweat pads (God bless the genius who came up with this) and currently use PURAX Pure Pads Antiperspirant . Super discreet and works wonders.

This post is perfectly timed with the London Notting Hill Carnival just days away.
All those bright colours .. shades of reds, yellows , orange…. ahhhh it’s like the peak of summer all over again, but all in one day.

Today’s colour confidence look was inspired by the very fashion forward Jelena Karleusa.
Achieved at a fraction of the price with the blouse and maxi Skirt tailor made

All season shoe booties

August 21, 2015 ijaykheavens 2 Comments

Over here in the UK seasons are everything. Yes we have a lot of cold and grey weather but amongst all that there are some priced hot sunny summer months(or weeks) too.

Today am sharing one of my all seasons trendy foot wear. In the current financial climate I definitely get my monies worth when I invest in a pair of shoe boots as they are so versatile.

So here are a few ways I would wear mine.

Peep toe shoe boots are my ultimate favourites.
These will transform any casual outfit.
The exposed heel and toes instantly makes it fit for the summer.

These fringed booties add a a touch of the trending 70s shake to this look.

Now your probably wondering how you can wear this in the winter.
I team my peep toe booties with frill socks. You can add variety to the look with a bit of colour

This versatile footwear lends it’s self perfectly to this stylish chic look. Toeless tights are ideal for peep toe shoe boots in the cold winter months. I love these Berkshire tights. They have a wide variety of shades for all skin tones.

Travel Lookbook denim on denim

July 31, 2015 ijaykheavens 3 Comments

This is such an oldie but goodie. A classic ! The first thing that came to mind when putting this look together was ‘I don’t want to look like a cowgirl’. Not that there is anything wrong with cowgirls or cowboys. It just was not my desired look. I personally tried to stay away from denims the same shade and weight…. You should too. While the rips on this jeans are not visible in this picture. Ripped jeans add a element of trendiness to this look. Don’t be afraid to add a bright lipstick to complete the look. A pop of colour makes life more interesting. Anything from shades of pinks to reds and oh maybe a deep berry would do the trick. Ofcourse with every outfit you must cross your T’s and dot your I’s with some accessories.
