Last week, I had the honour to partner with Calthorpe Estate to spend the day exploring the high-end lifestyle Edgbaston Village has to offer. Edgbaston Village is less than a mile from Birmingham city centre so it was very accessible for us and easy to find this hidden gem.

Today’s post is going to short and sweet. I am so honoured to be working with Nina who is the brain behind the luxury brand Nina Knight. She designs the most amazingly colourful handbags. They are so vibrant, whimsical and stand out from every other bag I’ve ever owned. It is truly one of a kind. The Eliana crossbody piece I’m wearing in this post was inspired by her daughter. How sweet is that?! I truly feel like a queen when I bring out my Nina Knight bag. If you love a pop of colour to your outfits, then Nina’s bags are for you. They are so well made with high-quality materials and definitely worth the investment. Every time I’ve worn this bag, I’ve been asked where it’s from. Be sure to check out the Nina Knight collection and be on the lookout …
Well, it’s ASOS DESIGN but it doesn’t rhyme with ‘prems’ so premium it is… 🤷’Prems’ by the way is Cameroon slang for ‘looking fire!’.
Ever stumbled across one of those very elusive clothing items? I mean one of those items you instantly want as soon as you set eyes on. But sadly, they are never in stock in your size. Or in any size for that matter. Like NEVER EVER. So you set up some form of surveillance on that item because now you absolutely HAVE TO HAVE IT. This ASOS DESIGN Premium cutwork midi skirt with bamboo buckle is that it item for me.

Been feeling all-white outfits lately. They make me feel like I got my shit together. And for some reason, all white looks always look more expensive than they actually are! Also, Spring has officially sprung and it was 20 degrees when we took these pictures on the Easter Bank Holiday. This is one of my favourite dresses, I’ve had it since 2017 but never worn it because there just was never the right occasion.

I had the chance to partner with I Saw It First for this look. I have to say it’s one of my favourite looks. As much as I love vibrant and colourful outfits, something about black on black makes me feel like such a rockstar EVERY SINGLE TIME. And don’t get me started on the leather trousers. Leather trousers are usually not very flattering on me but these faux leather high waisted pair look incredible on! And because they’re not tight-fitted they don’t get hot and feel super comfy. Seriously, get them now. And the whole site is having at least 50% OFF everything discount so go for it. I was proper feeling myself in this look. A graphic tee, high waist leather trousers and a pair of bottoms…yup, I’m definitely feeling chic. I’m feeling iconic. I’m an #ISAWicon.

Usually, I love a pop of colour. That being said, my heart skipped a beat when I saw this cargo jumpsuit whilst traipsing the shops in Brighton a few weeks ago. Actually, I tell a lie. My heart didn’t skip a beat when I saw it. I saw it and thought, ‘Hmmm that looks nice. Let’s have a look at the price tag.’ Because that’s usually what REALLY determines how we feel about things when shopping right? LOL. That price tag gotta be wallet-friendly at all times love. 😂
