Tunnel Vision

Great News! I am officially the newest member of 4 Elements Media! I'm quite excited to be a part of their amazing team. The year has already gotten off to a great start and I'm excited for what this year has in store for me!

These images were shot just before sunset so we didn't have much time as we were chasing day light. When I put this look together I saw myself at an African safari hence why I needed the lightweight fabrics and light colours. I modelled a few options for my mom and this one was the winner. As I grow older, I find myself choosing looser cuts and silhouettes, especially in Summer. The worst thing for me is wearing something thats' stuck to my body and making me feel like I'm wearing a sausage casing. 

I especially liked the lace-up detail and the pockets of the shirt, which is very on trend at the moment. The pants is actually the same pants as my previous post in a different colour. I am like that though. If I really like something I want it in all colours.

I slept really late last night so I'm going to take a nap. Have a great weekend! xoxo

Thank God It's Almost Friday

Happy June everyone. I can't believe we've already reached mid year! I feel like I still have so much I want to achieve before the year ends, but time is going way too fast. I suppose the best thing to do is not to focus on the future, rather make the most of the present.

 I usually document my monthly facials at Skinsation because my skin is such a problem! I suffer from sensitivity which leads to breakouts and thus, my hibernation. My skin looked amazing about a month ago but I wear so much makeup so often that it really takes its toll! On my first day off I booked myself a facial and boy did my therapist have her work cut out for her! My skin was red and itchy which is partly due to sensitivity as well as the change in weather. Furthermore, it was so congested from all the makeup I wear! This month, due to breakouts and blackheads, Lutfiya did a deep cleanse with clay-based products which draws out impurities from within. Thereafter, she used a menthol mask to purify and decongest my skin. We focused on working to cleanse and soothe my troubled skin as well as extract all impurities. It's been a few days since the facial and I'm happy that my skin still feels great and looks brighter and healthier! 

If you wear a lot of makeup or as often as I do, it is imperative that you remove it properly! Also, facials once a month and regular exfoliation is a must! 

What I'm Wearing:

I wanted to be a bit playful with this look so I paired this dirndl skirt with a bomber jacket and a pair of high tops. The skirt was purchased from a Nigerian shop in the CBD, that I happened to come across. I haven't worn it out yet but I have a few more ways to style it in mind. I just have to find the time to go out. The pink high-tops are from Adidas which I purchased some time back on holiday and the floral bomber jacket is from Stradivarius, which was also purchased on holiday. The gold top is from my sister's closet but actually from Forever New. I'm so grateful for my sisters and their closets. I don't know what I'd do without them!
