Stripes and Simplicity #OOTD

With summer fast approaching; one can only hold in so much excitement without bursting with pure and utter joy that; finally we get a break from school or work or whatever may be stressing you out.
Many things may remind you of those summer days with the wind in your hair and the bright summer  sun kissing your face; may it be a book or a new hobby but to me it was this outfit!

Grand Avenue; Vapiano Restaurant Review

Have you ever craved for real authentic Italian food with pizza, pasta and the perfect tiramisu? Well if you have and couldn't find the perfect restaurant then I am here to tell you that Vapiano is the restaurant for you; with easy going and self serving custom.
The food was really good and authentic but the only problem I had was with their pasta: which was that it the sauce was a bit too much but thats not really a problem but more like a preference.

Top 5 Perfumes for Summer! | Lights in Wanderlust

We're already half way through summer and thats a bit sad in my opinon because the thought of going back to school makes me frustrated..
But anyways back to what this post is actually about; my top 5 picks for summer fragrances, these all in my opinon have a summer-y feel to them.
 (I will put the original description as to what it was to smell like)
Sheer love by Victoria Secret: An irresistible, fresh fragrance. Fall in Sheer Love, bright and cheerful with fresh white cotton and luminous pink lily. Experience the luxury of fragrance. Refreshing formula is infused with conditioning aloe vera and calming chamomile. Spray on for a sexy touch of scent

Honey by Marc Jacobs:Honey by Marc Jacobs is a sunny delicious floral - energetic and alluring, with a sparkling, golden touch. The perfect mix of brightness and warmth.

Mango by The Body Shop: is seen as lively and exotic and contains mango extract; and also is very light and wearable.

L'Eau Couture by Ellie Saab:  The idea to create a Couture Eau is quite uncommon in this register. It s a sophisticated, sensual freshness, far removed from the conventions found in fragrances usually created in this repertoire.

Coco Mademoiselle: Sexy, fresh Oriental fragrance recalls the irrepressible spirit of the young Coco Chanel. An elegant, luxurious spray closest in strength and character to the parfum form.

Fashion is...

I've noticed that a lot of designers like non other than the great Karl Lagrefarl has been getting a lot of backlash due to his eccentric and unique taste..

This in my opinon is quite horrid if I should say so myself! 

Fashion is about moving forward and exploring new options opening to worlds eyes to something new; making someone not just your average rich person feel good in something or than sweatpants! We are all forgetting that CHANEL and many other big household names are the ones who set the trends and open everyone's eyes to a world of new ideas and experiences that fashion can bring; and yes, many of us can't afford CHANEL or Dior but you know what most of us can afford? 

Inspiration.  That's what. You see something in a store that might fancy your interest or you absloutely hate but that's what fashion is, isn't it? Finding your self in clothes, expressing yourself in any way that might help or just a way to boost your self esteem. 

Fashion is all about change and originality, without it most of us would be lost; I know I would be...
