London Fashion Week: Fashion Scout 2022
Hi lovelies,
Hope you're all keeping well & taking some time to reflect during this period of mourning.
Like many other Londoners, I've felt the media landscape has had a sombre tone and it's been difficult to comprehend all the tragic events over the last couple of years.
Despite this, there are some fantastic communities within the Ldn creative scene that are working tirelessly with a "keep calm and carry on" attitude, delivering seamless & timeless shows.
I was privileged enough to attend Fashion Scout, all thanks to my amazing friend @accidentalstatement <3
The venue was in Shoreditch - a buzzing East-London area packed with street art, unique food & pop-ups. The highlights for me: ducking from the paparazzi, enjoying some exquisite Indian food & spotting some amazingly talented outfits (both on the stage & in the frow).
Timmy Chou: a vibrant collection with a colour palette of deep reds, inspired by Taiwanese culture. |
Chi-an Yu: a 3-D-forward collection inspired by human-centred cultures. This look particularly stood out to me with the shirt/dress hybrid & the fit-flare silhouette is oh-so elegant. |
Chi-An Yu: A collection that was giving S&M vibes all the way - loving this beautiful oversized yet dainty white shirt, alongside a mesh trouser & classic black boot. Show Me Your Shoes! |
Absolutely obsessed with these black & neon contrast Prada loafers <3 |
Sophisticated & neutral flats with a buckle detail. |
Timeless black loafers with a chunky sole & sheen finish. |
Colours, colours, colours! |

Now's the Time to Act - Anti-ageing with Nakin Skincare
Hope ya'll are staying at home and still slaying your skincare routines ;)
Just over a month ago, I received two wonderful products from Nakin Skincare - an award winning UK-based natural anti-ageing skincare brand.
First, I received the Natural Anti-ageing Lip Treatment Balm which blew me out the park from the get go. Not only does it have a luxuriously rich consistency, it also contains a gentle scrubbing effect which means you get to exfoliate your lips whilst retaining moisture. It also has peppermint for a refreshing experience. This is perfect to throw in your handbag before a date or a Netflix n Chill moment.
Would I normally spend £10 on lip balm, no. However, this gives you that luxe spa experience that justifies the price. You also get a lot of product.
Now, on to the Anti-ageing Performance Face Serum - this is one of Nakin's best sellers. It has a concoction of natural ingredients which stimulates the reversal of ageing signs. I used to be a big fan of serums back in the day, however nowadays I tend to just go for a standard moisturiser. After using this serum, I am definitely reverting back to serums as they give me that luxurious feel and a little goes a long way. Furthermore, after a month of use I noticed less blemishes, softer skin and a significant brightening/glow effect.
I may be 25 but I highly recommend starting preventative measures now as skincare is about prevention rather than reaction.
Please do try out these products and check out the rest of the Nakin range and let me know your thoughts.
Lots of love,
Mani xo

Winter Neutrals with Femme Luxe
I hope all of you are keeping well and didn't miss me too much ;)
This year has been challenging for many personal reasons but also a year filled with a lot of personal growth and self-development. As I've been taking a few trips to Switzerland to clear my mind and relax, I decided as I'm back in London it would be great to get back into the blogging scene. What better way than to start with a collaboration with the amazing Femme Luxe.
I feel like I've been out the blogging game for a little while so I wasn't sure how I'd feel but as soon as I tried these babies on, I just loved the concept of dressing up and it helped that I was genuinely impressed with the clothing I received. Not only do I feel the pieces are good quality but they also are very much on-trend with the neutrals theme this Winter.
Also, being completely honest, I am always a little bit anxious to venture out and try clothing from new brands due to my shape and wondering if the pieces would fit my size 16 frame in a good way. However, I was really surprised that everything fitted me amazingly as I went for both oversized/tight looks.
Ladies, do let me know what you think of the below looks and let me know if you try out any pieces from Femme Luxe yourselves as I would highly recommend if you're looking for affordable, stylish, Instagrammable looks <3
Lovely figure-hugging cream jumper, perfect for teaming with leggings or cycle shorts for a night out. |
Gorgeous flowy black satin dress which I felt looked so expensive in person. |
Simple but flattering oversized sweat mini-dress. |
Comfy, stretchy black loungewear co-ord which hugged my curves perfectly. |

Goodbye London, Hello Switzerland!
Dress: Pretty Little Thing (I love PLT for their Shape and Curve sections where I can find items that fit my body shape well). |
The Swiss are known for their watches after all! |
Postcard-esque scenery (Weggis). |
Local street-art - who knows what this means but I live for it! |

The Perfect Valentines Gift! : Personalised Elie Beaumont Watch Review
Hey lovelies!
This is an official warning that there is just two weeks left until Valentines Day! Whether or not you think the day is a load of faff, there's a good chance that your other half is still expecting a gift so unless you're willing to deal with the mood swings, you better get on it now...
Fear not! I have the perfect solution to save you from that last-minute gifting panic.
Personally Presented is an online store which specialises in personalised gifts for all ages. The site is packed with gorgeous gift options and the quick and hassle-free personalisation option means that you can add that special touch for your loved one in just a click. I love the idea of adding a personal message on a gift as it automatically transforms the item into a sentimental keepsake.
As I love fashion, I opted for this stunning Elie Beaumont Modern - Vintage Leather Watch in Black with White Dial. The watch itself is timeless and versatile for wear at work or special occasions. I mean, what doesn't black and rose gold go with, right?
My gift was presented in lovely minimalist packaging with an embossed box and a convenient leather pouch to protect my watch when not in use. Can we say #aesthetic?
The turn-around time from order to delivery was ridiculously quick and in just a few days, I received my stunning new watch. The speed was impressive to me as I expected a personalised gift to take a little longer but the service from Personally Presented was exceptional as they kept me up to date with all the dispatch info.

Know Cosmetics Review: Flawless Makeup Exists!
My favourite out of the range has to be No Bleeding Lips as this works especially well as a lip liner for all shades to give you that cleaned up look. Moreover, it's perfect for when you can't find the right liner shade for that vampy new liquid lipstick you bought. I can definitely see this becoming a cult product in my collection.
No Thin Lips is also good product for adding some volume to your lips. I've used plumpers in the past and thankfully, the sting on this one is very manageable which is a pro. What I love about this product too is that it doesn't leave your lips feeling sticky but rather moisturised and hydrated.
No Bare Brows is a universal brow pencil with two sides - a dark side to fill in and a white side to highlight/clean up. It also comes with a sharpener cap & brush cap. I think this is the product I would use the least as I prefer creams/pomades but nevertheless, it's still a handy duo pencil to carry in your handbag and it's less faffing around.
Have you tried Know Cosmetics? Let me know what you think! xoxo
