Hello darlings,

I hope you are all well.
In the first part of my new video I talk about how we discuss rape and share my opinions on it, I hope you enjoy! Feel free to share your thoughts.

There is a new video on my channel in  which I discuss hyper masculinity and share my opinion on how raising men to be one dimensional is damaging. Enjoy! 😊

Hi darlings,

How are you?
In my new video I discuss the importance of the Women's march to young people, especially at a time where hate seems to be the view of the majority of people. I hope you enjoy this video!

Hi darlings!
How are you doing?
A lot has happened this week notably Donald Trump's election and if you follow me on Instagram (@unefillemorderne) you will known that although I live in the U.K. I have been an avid participant in the U.S. elections and have not failed to express my feelings about its outcome. Many have questioned my motives considering I am not directly impacted on. So I have decided to explain in a semi concise manner with my first You Tube video. Enjoy!
Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe if you enjoyed the video.

I met Han while volunteering at a hospital and although we wore uniforms through out this period and I couldn't really tell what her style was, she had this aura that radiated cool. She was just so content with herself, never quiet when speaking about issues she was passionate about and she is such a genuine person. I have not known her for very long but I am greatly inspired by her genuine approach to life  and the positive energy she emits.

 * Extremely versatile. I look like a different person everyday. I never like to limit myself to one set style. I love to switch up my looks

How do you think experiences have shaped your style?
 * I'm an actress, so I have experience with being a bunch of different characters. It's the same with my style. I have a totally different style everyday. One day I'd be dressed as a tomboy and girly girl the next.

What do you think your style represents ?
* My style represents power. Everything in my wardrobe is really gaudy and stylish. And it's how I wear it. Best believe, I strut down the block. My head is held high and I am slaying.

What do you hope it represents?
* I'm a big believer in women being able to wear whatever they want without men or anyone manipulating them. A women is not a slut for wearing a short skirt or an outfit that reveals her body. And a woman is dressed up that doesn't mean that she's looking for attention from anyone. "Girl why you so dressed up today? Who you looking good for?" MYSELF!! There's nothing wrong with dressing good for yourself. Believe it or not, when you look good you feel good.

Is your style an outward expression of inner feelings?
 * It definitely is. It represents however I am feeling that day. If I'm feeling a little sad that day, I'll wear all black or something really baggy. And if I'm feeling really good, I'd throw on a fitted dress or some bright colors.

Where do you get your clothes?
 * I shop at a lot of thrift stores. My mother owns her own thrift store so I get all of my exotic pieces from there. I get all of my fitted dresses and sexy little tops from American apparel. For my jewelry, I shop at this little spot on Franklin Ave in Brooklyn. I also cut up a lot of clothing and create some dope pieces myself, when I'm feeling creative.

Does your style reflect your cultural heritage?
* I have a bunch of pieces that reflect my cultural heritage. All of my jewelry are jewelry from the motherland. I'm also Trinidadian and Jamaican so sometimes you can tell I'm from the Caribbean from what I have on.

Favorite item in your wardrobe?
 * My black leather boots, it's adds a hint of sexiness to anything  I wear. And I am 4'11 so it's adds a bit of height to me as well haha!

Style inspirations ?
* The day, season, my hair and how I'm feeling. Those three things inspire the look for the day.

Beauty secrets ?
* Coco butter! Especially in the summer, it gives your face a beautiful and natural glow. Eating healthy is an essential to life as well. Staying fit and working out!!

 Pieces you can't live without ?
* My African jewelry
* Black ripped jeans
* My tan vans
* Fitted dresses

Pieces you wished you owned ?
* Knee high boots
* More sneakers
* Rihanna's new FENTY X PUMA line. Literally everything!

Describe your style:
Inspired by fashion of the past, incorporated with trainers... All day everyday.

How do you think experiences have shaped your style?
I have always been inspired by the simplicity and effortlessness of French style. Being half French I have always turned to my mother and Aunty for advice on how to put together outfits.

What do you think your style represents?
I think my style represents the merge between urban sports fashion which basically means trainers, trainers, and more trainers and the retro, classic aspect of statements pieces and basics.

What do you hope it represents?
I hope it represents that you don't need to only fall into one category and that its your ability to merge trends that makes your stand and and be unique.

Is your style an outward expression of inner feelings?
Yeah, I would definetly think so. I always try to be different to everyone else, whether it be with my Afro or with a vintage shirt or jacket.


Where do you get your clothes?
I get most of my tops and jumpers from thrift shops because I love oversized clothing but when I comes to jeans and trousers I tend to go to high street brands like topshop, h&m and Zara... But I always in the look out for a trusty thrifters mom Jean!

Does your style reflect your cultural heritage?
I guess so, in terms of the simplicity and classic look from my French side, I would say yes. However it is only recently that I have been exploring my Nigerian Heritage and I am looking into tailoring one or two statement pieces!

Favourite item in your wardrobe?
My tronto police service sweatshirt that I thrifted a few months ago. It's so easy to style and goes with everything!

Style inspirations?
I tend to find inspiration from the YouTube community, such as SamanthaMaria/Beautycrush, Tasha Green both British YouTubers. As wells and NotoriousKIA, she is the queen of thrifting and DIYs, absolutely love her. And a French YouTuber, SheraKerienski; she lives in Paris and has the most amazing Trainer collection and her style is so unique. I would aspire to emulate her style.

Beauty secrets?
Honestly I don't reall delve into the Beauty work that much, I stick to nude nail polish, mascara and maybe a neutral lipstick. I am very simple.
And my biggest secret is L'oreal men's charcoal face wash... Trust me it does wonders.

Pieces you can't live without
I can not live with out my grey suede Reebok classics, my oversized sweatshirts and a trusty Blue demin mom jean... Keep it simple girls.

Pieces you wished you owned?
I am on the look out for pleated cullotes in khaki and black, aswell as a light denim mom Jean. I love jeans. And lastly the new All black Air max 2016s... So beautiful!

What do you think gives your style an iconic factor
Honestly I think it's my hair! I am 100% natural and no matter the occasion, smart, causal etc I always have my afro out.

What is the best style advice you've ever received?
Keep it simple, just because it's in style doesn't mean it's your style.

Did you ever struggle with finding yourself style wise?
Yeah! It's only the past year that I have really begun to explore my individual style. I am being more daring with what I wear and paying less attention to what other people think about how I look.

"How would I describe my style?
I like to be very comfortable but cute when it comes to clothes. Lately I've been painting on my clothes to give it a little me. A pop of color and fun.

In high school I use to wear colors that matched my mood. Dark times for me so I was always in black.
It wasn't until this year that I actually found my style. I found me. My style represents me, happy, fun and creative. I hope that's what people can see.

I'm a thrifter. Always thrifting. I get a whole outfit for less than $20. Doesn't get any better than that! (Lol)
I don't like spending so much money on clothes. Life is so expensive already.

My favorite item in my wardrobe? Hmm...it would have to be my overalls. I slip right into it whenever I can.
I can't live without...my flannels. Definitely my flannels. They are my go-to.  I wish I owned... a lot more flannels (lol)

"Forget the rules. If you like it, wear it" I read that somewhere and this to me was the greatest advice.

My painting on my clothes gives my style an iconic factor. I guess you can say my clothes kind of became my canvas.

I use to struggle a lot. I thought I had to have what everyone else was wearing. Now I'd rather not. What fun is that?

Just be yourself! Wear what you want to wear! Honestly as long as you're comfortable, that's all that really matters."

Describe your style?

Honestly this isn't the easiest thing to answer only because I do enjoy changing it up whenever I get bored but if I were to go off from what I wear the most I'd say I dress smart casual and with that I usually stick to colour or patterns, sometimes both but when I want to blend in and keep my head down (exam season) I tend to stick to colour more to have a minimalist look

How do you think experiences have shaped your style?

I'd definitely say my friends used to influence what I wear in the past but now it's whatever I like and pin on my Pinterest that shapes what I wear, oh and fashion photography.  Working with a stylist has definitely taught me a few things about not over or under doing a look.

What do you think your style represents?

I'd say it  is another representation of my expression and mannerisms.

What do you hope it represents?

I hope it represents a knowledgeable, confident and approachable girl.

Is your style an outward expression of inner feelings?
I'd say it's about 50/50 sometimes it does and other times it does not.


Where do you get your clothes?
I mainly shop at Primark a lot, Bershka, Stradivarius, H&M. Asos and I enjoy thrifting.

Does your style reflect your cultural heritage?
Only when I wear head-wraps or African prints.

Favourite item in your wardrobe?
My Jumpsuit from asos, it's a lovely magenta colour of the darker shade so could possibly be a jam colour.

Style inspirations?

There's this model called Natasha Bisous while most the things she wears are out of my price range the outfits she wears are always classy and another is Zendaya, like me she changes up her style all the time and always rocks it too I feel like she's eventually going to become everyone's style goals purely because she dresses fabulously and never goes half way, she's not afraid to wear a look even if people talk! And if they do she's unafraid to speak up if whatever was said is offensive and in doing so she's giving so much confidence to black females, kids especially.

Beauty secrets?

Drink lemon water every morning and wait 30minutes before eating and try to remember what you eat will effect your skin especially if you are on holiday (guilty).


Pieces you can't live without?
Currently I reaally want a pair of heeled boots, their a navy blue crushed velvet.

What do you think gives your style an iconic factor?

I won't lie sometimes I've had epic outfit fails but I truly think it's all about the confidence to try something new, if you wear the same thing all the time or like everyone else that just makes you another sheep, which isn't a terrible thing but 'icons' tend to stand out.

What is the best style advice you've ever received?

Make sure you have the basics before you try to create your own style!

Did you ever struggle with finding yourself style wise?
Yes a lot when I was younger but now I'm way more comfortable with the way I dress.

Hi darlings!
Today I would like to introduce a new segment to my blog * drum roll* : female empowerment! if you follow me on Instagram or know me in person you know that it is a cause that I am passionate about. I wanted to start this segment on my blog a while ago but I was scared. I know how silly that sounds but honestly I was terrified.

On many occasions I have been crucified (figuratively) for defending women (even though I am a woman) and many completely turn a bind eye to the many struggles hat women today have to face and it pains me. However, my greatest agony is derived from young women being unaware of these issues and the relevance of their voices. I am lucky, as I have always known these issues and now I aim to share them. I am not claiming to be the custodian of all knowledge I am just trying to create a space where women feel safe to talk about what they feel and feel free to act to change these ills for our daughters and their daughters.

I hope you enjoy this segment and I would love your participation. The first post I this series should be up by tomorrow.

Stay beautiful because you can, Jasmine x
