Twirling among fall leaves

(CUP OF DAISIES LADY RED scarf, H&M Trend crop top, Topshop flared skirt, Zara studded heels, D&G quilted bag)

One more week left before the autumn term breaks for Christmas holidays. I'm currently on the MA Arts Management course at RWCMD, Cardiff. One year full-time student, though this is year marks my 5th academic year in Cardiff.
Can't believe how quickly time flies- already 3 months in as a masters student, while distant memories of the undergrad graduation over the summer can sometimes still feel like yesterday.
December is always the month to reflect on the passing year, and the one ahead.
Personally, I love the excitement of what the future will hold.

'Art in Fashion' is the next big trend! Inspired by English painter Graham Sutherland, J.W.

Admittedly, some of these fabrics are among his most abhorred." It is the very juxtaposition ...

Styling Blue Pineapples

This is another blog post on 'what the interns are wearing', and today I'm here to talk about 'Blue Pineapples' . This particular design is inspired by the Merlin Charity , who develops projects in Asia and Africa delivering medical expertise to countries shattered by war or suffering from natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. The illustrations represent the national symbols of the countries where Merlin's work is currently being carried out. This is one of Cup of Daisies ' most favoured scarf and personally mine too. I think it's something to do with the striking contrast of the blue and white colours faintly representing an elegant china vase. I was going for an old style glamour look and wanted the scarf to be worn as a centre head piece. With the head piece in mind, I worked my outfit around it and decided to pair the look with a two piece combo which I purchased recently from the H&M Trend collection for the season, a ...
