Hi darlings,

I want to talk about fears or as the title says :worries.

I have so many fears, ranging from my fear of ants to my mind numbing fear of heights - I'm scared of a lot of things and I bet you are too. What I have come to learn about fear is: it is a lot more bearable when it is physical, when you can fight it head on and know you have conquered it.

This leaves emotional fears which in my opinion are the worst (emphasis on worst) 

You are afraid or worried about something you can't see or feel but  it still scares the crap out of you and you are completely unprepared and have no way of handling it. I hate it. And even though I would really like to act brace all the time I can not deny the fact that I worry a lot about a lot of things. I know society tells me to be fearless and never let anything hold me down, I (we all ) need to remember that I'm human and it is only by being scared, that I can overcome this fear and become a stronger, better version of myself. 

Without these worries I will never grow and I will never push myself and that idea of being stuck and held down by my worries scares me and I'd rather face these fears that lead to development than be stuck in limbo forever crippled by fear.

Hi darlings!

So I know this is 2 weeks later than I promised but this is the first instalment of my outfit diaries. They are not planed outfits just what I wear everyday, I hope you like them! 

1. FLORAL QUEEN

It was still quite warm when I wore this outfit so I doubt you can wear it in autumn. It is quite simple and you can wear individual pieces in a very different way than how they are styled here.

Jacket Zara 

Sunglasses h&m

2. FRENCHIE

I was channeling my inner Parisian, well trying at least and I feel the scarf pulls everything together without it it would be another grungy look but with it there is an  understated element of sophistication, which I adore.

Jumper select 

Jeans Zara 

Scarf primark

3. HOOD

I thought I was so cool when I took this picture, so cool it makes me cringe every time I look at it. I feel this is the easiest way to look chic. It's a classic well two classics combined the shirt dress and the denim jacket. It doesn't get much better really.

4. SWERVE 

This look is a rare one for me as I am not into extremely feminine outfits but this is one close to my heart because it's so cute and it made me feel 10 again so I was skipping everywhere and having fun! 

Denim shirt Zara 

Skater skirt asos 

5. CITY GIRL 

This is my favourite look of the week and it really is such a typical city girl look. Generally city girls survive on basics and use them as their canvas to develop more complex looks but on most days they just throw on some basics and let them do all the work.

Shoes Zara

I hope you like this new style, it really is just a glorified #ootw but I can blog more frequently this way. Subscribe for more updates or follow me on Instagram (@unefillemorderne)

Until next time 

Hi darlings! 

So this is not the post I said was going to be live this week but I suppose I underestimated the power of school and how it can completely blur out the rest of the world. Now that I have been able to squeeze some time to myself I have something a little different for you all. 

I'm not one to typically stand on outrageously long Starbucks lines, so coffee  has never really appealed to me. That is until I discovered chai latte *insert heart eyes* and all the amazing things you can make with it.

Here's a cute little frappucino recipe I hope you can enjoy. 

WHAT YOU NEED 

for one person 

•4 tablespoons of chai latte powder

•300ml of milk 

•ice cubes

Blend all these ingredients until they are completely mixed together. 

Pour into your favourite coffee glass and enjoy! 

Stay beautiful because you can, Jasmine x

Hi darlings!

My post starting now will be a lot shorter, I understand you didn't even think it was possible but what can I say, I always leave some element of surprise in everything I do *dramatic hair flip* 

 

Alright, jokes aside. 

School is beginning again (tomorrow actually) and I need to be a lot more focused and goal oriented this year because it's a pretty big one. 

I am not pleased with my track record of leaving my blog hanging for months on end. I have come up with a solution : street style outfits and wish lists. These will be posts that don't require excessive planning in advance but just me taking pictures of my day to day street styleand compiling it into one post. It sounds a bit complicated but you'll understand when the first instalment goes live on Sunday.

I must warn you, these posts will not have the greatest quality, you probably won't see my face in all of them because they'll all be taken by me. I know this academic year will be difficult but I also know I can't bombard myself with work so I need an outlet which will be reaching a screen near you every Sunday. I'm excited I hope you are too! Yay! Until next time,

Hi darlings,

I have not done a minute in a while, honestly I have only done one minute ever. That is so bad! I guess I am just scared that I might bore you so I try to just stick to business. Anyway, I have decided to divide this post into sections, so if you are not particularly keen on a topic you can just move on to something else that interests you, that is only fair right? 

So let's get started!

I don't think my style can ever be categorised because I'm still developing and every aspect of my life influences what I choose to wear. It might be that my love for ripped jeans is a juxtaposition of my occasional need to be introverted or that it simply represents my open mindedness ( you catch my drift, this is getting too deep) 

However, I have discovered my penchant for denim. I subconsciously incorporate denim into everything I wear. I only discovered this from looking at my Instagram account (@unefillemorderne) 

I don't think there is much more I can say about my style evolution and I would much rather show you.

In addition, I have discovered make up! I know I am 4 years late but better late than never right? I have started using  a BB cream which I absolutely love and I even tried on a mascara ( we've got a love/hate thing going on ) I still prefer going barefaced simply because no effort is required but let's be real some days require a little more and that's what make up does for me. 

I have completely messed up gym pattern so I'm trying to get that back into it without putting strain in myself. However, I have become more observant of my food and I am no longer worrying too much about calories but now I am concerned about nutrition and making  sure I get what I need daily and it has helped me greatly. And lastly I am now a  smoothie girl! I have a one every morning (thank you mama!) and it has helped me so much: my skin, hair and diet. I'm hooked! 

At the moment there is quite a bit  going on and I am learning a lot about myself and trying to be the best I can be in everything I'm doing. I am also learning to be content with myself because true happiness comes from contentment.

#endpreach 

On the fun side, I have discovered the self timer button in my camera so I can now take pictures of myself by myself (that sounded a lot less conceited in my head) My friends will be overjoyed by this news since they are my forced photographers #sorryguys

So there will hopefully be more style posts now not just every once in a blue moon.

 Well that's all folks and until next post 

  

Shirt- misguided

Jeans- Zara 

Hi darlings!

Recently I have become a massive fan of power walking. I first heard of this while watching Made in Chelsea and I laughed at the prospect, I thought either go for a walk or just run, you know?

However, my mum wanted to try it out, so I figured why not? It is exercise after all. So we went out on a power walk. One word: *in sing song voice* Amazing! I absolutely love it  and I am now addicted and here are 5 reasons why you should be too:

1) As stated before it is exercise so you are burning calories really easily if I may add.

2) It is the best time to catch up! Have you ever heard the saying: " friends who work out together stay together" ok, maybe it isn't an actual saying but you catch my drift. What better excuse is there for a catch up session? So go on grab some friends and have some fun!

3) It is the perfect way to get into a fitness routine. I know a lot of people who want to get fit but are not exactly ready to just walk into a gym. Let's face it, gyms aren't the friendliest environment with everyone looking fit and people lifting weights twice their size. It's a bit scary but with power walking it's just you or you and some friends going out for a fast paced stroll.

4) It is relaxing, going on a power walk can be all you need to clear your head and keep you in a good frame of mind. 

5) It can be a way to discover something new, walking can be such an awesome way to discover beautiful things around you. So get walking!

Hi darlings!

Happy Sunday! I'm so happy today. I honestly have no idea why. I mean the weather is bad, there is nothing good on TV, you know everything is just bleeeeeh (for lack of a better word ) except my mood, I'm just so happy. 

These photos where taken a while ago, when I realised I had not had a style post in a long while and what better comeback than going for basics that never fail you. So that's what I did: black, white and denim. You can never go wrong with that combination.

Denim jacket - Zara

White T-shirt - Zara

Trousers - Topshop 

Tennis shoes - .Lacoste  

Hi darlings,

Summer, summer! Summer!!

I love summer (if you didn't get that already) I really do. Growing up in Nigeria it was summer everyday - literally and I guess I took this for granted. I mean come on you would too with 30 degrees Celsius Every. Single. Day.

However, my ungrateful behaviour has come back to bite my behind. I now live in the UK (London ) which makes summer so precious because a good summers day is a rare occurrence. This means you need as little baggage when enjoying picnics and countless sight seeing. This means my bag needs to be as tiny as possible, so just essentials. 

Here is what made the cut!

1) Money purse- Logging a wallet around seriously isn't worth the hassle. So I keep all my money and cards in here, keeping it simple.

2) My Oyster card - I do live in London after all .

3) My keys - Another obvious choice but no one enjoys being locked out *shrugs* #notevengoingtoapologise

4) Chewing gum - I always have some on me! The last thing you want to worry about when you are out having fun is bad  breath.

5) Blotting sheets - These things are life savers! I'm not too keen on make up so you'll never catch me going into the toilet to "touch up my powder" nope never. That usually means that my face is left looking oily but not since I discovered these babies! Oil gone in one swipe like magic!

6) Lip care - You'll never catch me without a lip balm, lipstick and lipgloss. They brighten my face instantly and a great for other parts of your face not just your lips. In the picture I have my trustee baby lips by Maybeline, Clarins instant light natural lip perfector and Rimmel london's Kate lipstick in 28.

7) Sunscreen - I do not go out without this. I always protect my skin no matter how long or short I'll be out for. I am currently using this Dermalogica sunscreen which is just amazing. It offers amazing protection for the whole body. This means I never need to carry more than one sunscreen which I love.

So there you have it, things I never leavehe without. What are yours?
