Cobalt and Lime

This is some outfit inspiration for anyone who is bold enough to wear bright colours! I wore this outfit to a friends birthday party because although it screamed FUN (with bright eye catching colours) it was also very elegant and chic with the clutch and heels and long flowing maxi skirt. I was somewhat confused and indecisive about what to wear, as all girls usually are before any party or major event. Therefore mixing elegance with a pop of colour is a great way to celebrate in style- I found this outfit to be both suitable for both day and evening. 





In any special occasion heels and a clutch are a definite must!! These minute but effective little details instantly make any outfit more than a little ordinary.




These blue heels are great for adding a bit of colour to your outfit! I can definitely picture these heels with an all black outfit too because that pop of colour will make it stand out add a matching scarf or bag and you're set.







Absolutely in love with this lime green blouse!! Be prepared to see this being starred in more outfit posts :D




This Maxi skirt was discovered in the teens section of New Look, during which time this colour maxi skirt was rarely seen. However, as of late and practically straight after I purchased this skirt I saw many more similar ones namely from Primark and also the women's section of new look. But I was still satisfied with my skirt, it was a perfect fit as it had an elasticated waist. TIP; when you aren't sure as to which size you should get an elasticated waist is a sure way to fight the uncertainty and I also find them to be quite slimming.


Accessories, and in my case; RINGS, are a must to jazz up any outfit

Sodi's Gems Review

I was sent the most amazing hijab pins by the lovely and beautiful Soudi and I instantly fell in love. These intricate hijab pins are a statement piece and must have for any hijabi or non-hijabi alike as its great for accessorising clothes therefore not only limited to hijabis!!
The packaging of the products was beautifully and hand wrapped to ensure there was no damage to the products upon arrival.







Most of the products came in this beautiful cute hijab travel tin! so convenient for those of us who often need an  emergency back up pin for bad hijab days or just the occasional misplacing of your pins (like me). Its very small and can fit in a handbag or pocket so is perfect for taking along on days out.




These round non-snag hijab safety pins are amazinnnngg!! They're perfect for those of us who use safety pins, this ensures the security that normal safety pins provide without the hassle of 'wholly' scarf at the end of the day- which is usually the case with normal safety pins. 

Here are a few of the beautiful simple, durable for every day wear, hijab pins I received;











 There is a bronze peace pin, bronze moustache pin, a rhinestone bow pin and a spike hijab pin. I absolutely adore all these pins!! great for everyday wear, keep your eyes peeled for these hijab pins in any outfit posts I may have in the very near future.





the moustache hiab pin x who else is still crazy about the moustache trend.

I was also sent these wonderful hijab bow hijab pins!!! 
Y'all know about me n my undying love for bows.... eeeek!! so I was super excited when I received these. These pins are so durable for anyone!! be it a hijabi or non- hijabi. and for anyone who isn't brave enough to rock a bow tie, why not have a go at at rocking a bow pin??!! I used the pin on my pocket to accessorise the shirt, giving a great pop of colour and unique twist!





HOW AMAZING IS THIS ANTIQUE IVORY STONE HIJAB PIN?












One of my most favoured hijab pins was this antique ivory stone pin. so intricately designed and wearable. Great for instantly jazzing up any outfit. and so perfect for special occasions too! I paired it with a purple and tan outfit because I personally feel that antique gold and purple compliment each other rather nicely.






Last but certainly not least is my absolute favourite hijab pin frpm Sodi's gems. This Rajisthan inspired yellow hijab pin is to die for... this is the pin that I recommend for any special occasion. Its so stunning!!!
