Ronnita B. Huff Press Shoot Image Update

It's always great when a client trusts you and books you for repeat business/service.

Ronnita B. Huff whom I have styled previously, wanted to update her press shoot images going into the New Year.

Ronnita has been working hard on her physique and wanted to show off her current results with sexy yet still "bawsey" looks; so we hit the stores! Giving that it is the holiday season, styles felt somewhat limited with a lot of sequence, glitter and faux fur on the racks, however I was able to find looks to match her desired style direction we both agreed upon.

Apologies for the snap commentary on the first image, realised post shoot the full look wasn't captured on the day hence the use of snap image.

Look 1 we went for a gold sequin blazer dress, with a lace dress inside.
Ronnita has great legs so wanted to show this off with this look. The lace inside the sequin jacket dress added an element of grown yet sexy.

Look 2 a fitted shimmer dress with ankle books, incorporating Ronnita's love for hats into this look.

Look 3 a snake print v cut long sleeve blouse with faux leather pants and ankle boots. Mixing tough and feminine silhouette.

Will be posting the final images to blog once released.
Till then, which look is your favourite? Comment below and let me know x x x

MAC Shadescent Candy Yum Yum

A scent I am currently loving is MAC's Candy Yum Yum.

It comes with a lipstick and is priced at £35.00 / $57.00.

Described by Mac as A flirty fragrance with electric fruits, like pink guava at the heart.

and is part of a 6 shadescents series inspired by current MAC lipsticks.

It certainly seems to be a favourite with guys as I always receive compliments of "smelling amazing" when wearing it. I find it to be a perfect blend, not too floral, not too fruity, not too sweet whilst giving off a sophisticated girly scent.

 I am yet to try the others from the set, however Candy Yum Yum has definitely set the bar for me in trying/testing the others and may be hard to beat for me.

Have you tried all the scents?

Red, Pink and Slogan Tees

I've always liked and enjoyed the comfort in wearing a t shirt can give as well as the idea of slogan tees; Tshirts that convey a message without one having to open their mouth and generally make for great conversational starters and good icebreakers lol.

I opted for red trousers to team up with this slogan tee from Boohoo - of which 100% of profits are donated to the Manchester Emergency Funds. 

The message "One Love, One Heart, Together".
A message of unity.

I completed the look with these gorgeous gold spiralled shaped earrings and clutch from Stopshop London. 

I am definitely focused on growing my slogan tee collection with messages of empowerment, bold statements, humour and so on that resonate with who I am as a person whilst keeping it chic! and already have my eyes set on some more slogan tshirts to add to the collection. 

T shirts can be dressed up or dressed down but are always definitely comfortable in my opinion,  making for great staple pieces in any wardrobe.

Aria Suya Kitchen

Hi all! Had meant to have posted this post a few weeks back but have been kept super busy with shoots and projects of late. 

After successful completion of a shoot/project I creatively directed, the designer, model and I were in search of some great food to fill and quieten our hungry tums! I had heard of Aria Suya Kitchen but had not yet been and had suggested we all go there to munch and try it out.

Maaaaaan, we were not disappointed.

Immediately, when we entered the restaurant the first thing that I noted and loved was the attention to detail with the decor. I'm always big on attention to detail and loved the monochrome vibes followed through to a T from the seating to the art displayed on the walls to the menu. 

We were greeted by a waitress who was welcoming, was happy to answer our questions and offer top picks/recommendations as well as great customer service.

Plantain chips (if you're in the states) or Plantain crisps (if you're in the UK) with a spicy stew used for dipping the chips was first brought out to us; these are complimentary on the house and got our taste buds going for our orders.

We ordered the suya chicken wings, which tasted great.

I ordered a beef suya dish with spinach, model ordered a suya wrap that came with yam chips. I was impressed by the presentation of such dishes as usually when I have ordered suya from other establishments such attention to detail isn't present.

We finished off our meal with chin chin cheese cake. 

I have a thing for desserts which I have cut down over the years but still enjoy a great dessert now and again. The combo is so creative and I loved every bite.

I was so impressed by everything and was wondering why I had never come across this place since I had been in Houston! 

 I had to speak to the owner (who stated he had opened the store 7 weeks ago) and congratulate him on the opening of such a great spot in Houston, Texas, the meals, presentation and attention to detail was on point - I definitely will be coming back and taking many others to try this spot.

If you're ever in Houston, Texas I recommend you try this spot, hopefully your tastebuds will be satisfied like mine were.
