A year older; another year wiser.

Quite a bit has happened in the last year, this time last year I was vacationing in Miami and Jamaica – best holiday ever! Since then we’ve moved house – moved cities in fact; the Cyrena Monique website is underway; and life is much more positive and far less stressful.

Things I’ve learned in the last year:

Positivity is key – Every year I get more and more positive – A positive mind leads to a positive outcome

To speak on my problems and not keep them all to myself – as they say “a problem shared is a problem halved”

To allow others to help me – I always want to do everything myself, it’s good to let others help sometimes

I have serious RBF (Resting Bitch Face), no, it’s a real thing and I have a bad case of it; thinking positive thoughts helps that out a little – I think

Not to overthink things – all things!

To always look for the positive in every situation

This year I’m hoping to learn how to save; money, energy, breath!

SHIRT DRESS

Haven’t wore this shirt for a good while, Gant gifted it to me when I first started this blog. Back then I wore it over leather leggings, now (and thank goodness for the sun being out) I wear it as a shirt dress. I love the length of it, and the detail of the folds in the front and back.

I finally christened my monochrome heels! Bought them at least a year ago, and this is the first time I’m wearing them. Don’t ask me why!

TRIBAL PRINT CO-ORD

So my uncle got married yesterday *sings CONGRATULATIONS LA-LA-LA-LA-LAAAAA* so we spent the weekend in Birmingham, and quite lovely it was too. Luckily the gods were on our side and the rain held off for most of the day! I made this tribal print co-ord to wear for this wonderful occasion, and quite a hit it was too.

FINALLY!

Finally found some time (allbeit incredibly swift) to take a snap some photos of my outfit yesterday! If you don’t follow me religiously on instagram or facebook (how very rude of you!), yes I’ve cut and coloured my hair, on top of that it’s real curly. Still getting used to it…

This is my new favourite sweater, and these are my new favourite jeans – AND I’m finally wearing my white Zara heels! Love.

LEOPARD & LEATHER CO-ORD

I have not done an outfit post in so goddamn long! Ive been so busy rushing around to press days and events, we just haven’t had the time to take a minute and snap some photos (lame I know). Anyway, going through my pics on this Good Friday, I came across these pics we took before we headed out to my honey’s bday party last year.

Wearing my leopard leather co-ord with half leather sleeves. If you’ve followed me on insta for a while you will have seen an instag ootd pic.
