Nudes

Today I feel like I’m on a mission, after seeing the highlights from the Glamour Woman of the Year awards I feel so inspired. I feel like anything is possible right now!
Cheesy, I know, but it’s true. If you follow my scribble-gram you will see I have been whipping up a couple of illustrations daily, it’s not for the fun of it, I’m collating images from all the SS16 shows for a special project, which will hopefully go to print by the end of the month!
I am forever writing down lists, goals and aspirations, it feels good to be getting close to actually completing one! Once my pieces are in print I will show you how I started to make my dreams a little bit more tangible. Just about 7 weeks left to 2015! Let’s make each one count : )

Sorry to disappoint but this outfit is outdated by 5-6 years! The good thing is, neutrals keep making a comeback every season, so if you like them the stores stock similar items for the ‘Winter whites’ collections that hit around this time of year.
This leather jacket was a Christmas gift in 2007 from the Mr. the scarf was an impulse buy in my college days, I used to buy all shades of pink because it’s a colour that compliments my cheeks during the colder months. The jumper is relatively new, from Zara last season, its woven with metallic threads which is ideal for the festive season, a little glitter goes a long way this time for year!
Well prepare yourselves, the fairy lights, Christmas lattes and Santa grottos are all around the corner!

Neutrals in Rome

Well hello July! Summer is in full swing and with the sun out I feel so much more motivated to do as many things possible within 24 hours, my productivity rates have shot straight up!
This afternoon we went to view our new apartment for the first time, I couldn't contain my excitement. This is something I have dreamt of for such a long time and now imagining living that life as a daily routine seems like a blessing. Maybe we can venture out into interior design or food posts?! Ha! ok, let’s not get carried away too much, but I honestly think this new adventure ahead of Gurpreet and I will lead to bigger and brighter opportunities.
In the meantime I have some little gems to share with you, here’s a flashback from when we visited Rome in April. I didn’t intentionally dress to blend in with the surroundings but it just goes to show, basic neutral colours can never go out of style!
It was a blessing in disguise my hair straightener stopped working, it meant my natural hair was given some limelight and luckily it ended up doing some magical voluminous things! To see more images from our Rome trip head over to the Ottoman Hands blog where you can see the sites we visited too.
