Hi darlings,
How was your weekend? How are you doing?


This combination is pretty much all I wear especially on days when I have to work out after uni. It is comfortable without without you looking like a sac and honestly perfect for the hyperactivity that is bound to be a part of university life.
Here are some similar buys you can get to recreate this look:
GRAPHIC SWEATSHIRTS
From forever 21
From stradivarius
MOM JEANS
From boohoo



From new look

Hi darlings,

My obsession with 90's style continues. i think it has amplified in the last couple of weeks because the trends from the spring/summer runaway shows are completely different to what they have been for the last year and I am not ready to give up having style similar to Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and Sade and this looks is evidence of that.

Hi darlings,

I am usually the most boring person in winter. When it comes to style that is. Summer is my time to shine 😀 I am just so much more experimental with style and want to try everything. Where as in winter especially in London with rain and darkness by 3 pm, I just find myself wondering if dressing up is even worth my time especially when compared to an extra 20 minutes in bed. However, this year I am making an effort and trying to move away from my uniform of mum jeans and Chelsea boots and incorporating minimal, statement pieces into my daily style. I hope this is one new year's resolution I can sustain.

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.

Hi darlings!

Christmas is almost here and if you are a last minute shopper much like me and are panicking about what to buy a friend this christmas or ever really, I have the best idea:dainty necklaces. They are simple, understated and can be stackable. This makes it the ultimate present for a fashion girl especially because she can decide whether or not she wants them to be an everyday essential or part of a larger, bolder statement. I know I would love them and I am particularly difficult to shop for becsuse I know exactly what I want. These are the places I have found the best dainty jewelry in order of prefference, I hope this helps!

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."

Hi darlings,

Hi darlings,

This is most likely the most feminine piece you will ever see me in.


If you follow me on Instagram (@unefillemorderne) you know that I usually have my hair in poetic justice esque box braids and anyone who has known me for a while associates this look with me. However, this summer I have had my afro out.

Doing this has caused me to become more explorative style wise.
I have a quite "feminine" face, but when I have my box braids they literally create a curtain over my face allowing my to hide these traditionally feminine feautures making it easier to pull off my typically tomboy inspired style.

This was impossible this summer as my face was exposed causing me to incorporate archetypically feminine pieces into my style and I can't say I hate it. I mean realistically this is the most feminine piece you will ever see me in, but it is a step right?

SHOES + TOP - ZARA
SKIRT - ASOS

Hi darlings,




It is common knowledge that the black maxi dress is a summer staple, mainly as a result of its convenience being that it creates an element of class effortlessly while simultaneously giving its slimming effects. It is understandable that many want to carry this convenience from day to night. The key to this in my opinion is accessories. Whilst a daytime look may consist of colourful trainers and no/light makeup. A night time look will require heels and a bold lip. A classic look is guaranteed, all this with minimal effort.
