Wicked

Last night I took my little sis to watch Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre which was pretty amazing and this was what I wore. A lot of people have been wishing the summer away and hoping for fall to come soon but we got a little glimpse of fall yesterday in London which was why I decided to wear this sleeveless trench as a dress type thing and it really made me appreciate the summer! I love Fall fashion because, well, it’s more interesting but I love the ease and simplicity of the summer. Getting ready in a few minutes by throwing on one item rather than having to pile on layers and layers and navigate through the art of layering which I have not at all perfected. Nevertheless, the summer has been so good to me and all things are better in moderation so whenever Fall comes to stay, I will smile and welcome her with open arms. Her? Ignore me please.

Mirror Me:
Plain White Tee
Primark Sleeveless Trench Dress Bought From EBay (However I’ve found some seriously gorgeous ones in the perfect colourway which I am tempted to splurge on here, here, here and here)
My shade of this jacket is a bit too light for my liking and I love how much better the ones I have suggested above fit. It is the perfect jacket for my Fall wardrobe before it becomes too cold.
Celine Mini Luggage Bag (Similar here and here, save option here)
ASOS Shoes (These are from years ago and I can’t find anything similar, maybe these?)

I Was Here

You’ve probably seen this video already but if you haven’t, it is worth the watch. Bey gives me goosebumps with almost every single performance she does. She is so great and I am just in awe of her sheer beauty and talent.

Beyond the goosebumps, I Was Here gives me a feeling that only very few pieces of music have given so far in my lifetime. It is a mix of joy, ambition, anxiety, inspiration, motivation, hunger to achieve, and a host of other emotions that might not even have English definitions (allow me my drama queen moment). It makes me so eager to go into the world and strive to realise my dreams and make a name for myself. It also makes me so eager to touch lives and bless people in a way that I have never done before and I pray God shows me how to do. The source of the anxiety is the fact that I really want to achieve so badly but I am not sure exactly what I want to do nor how and that scares me a little. I just know that I need to satisfy the feelings that a song like this gives me.

I guess that is the thing about successful people- they always find a way, no matter how much work and how long it takes. I can’t wait to look back at my life and be able to say I Was Here. I really really can’t wait.
