Featuring: Shayla Drake

Hey dolls hope ya'll are having an amazing weekend.this post is all about my interview with shayla Drake also known as Slim shay D... A fellow fashion blogger from New York City /LA, United States..A Stylist, free spirit, smooth bi-coastal player and fashion/music whore.

Shayla believes every girl should own a men's watch and a pair of black platforms , read what other opinions she has in my interview with her…:-)

Enkay : What inspires you to blog?

Shayla Drake: My friends literally harassed me for years: emails, scoldings, angry texts telling me that women would love to know where I shopped or how I made something. I would post pictures of my outfits and DIY jewelry/nails etc. on my Facebook page, but that wasn't good enough for them. When it got to the point where I was hearing it almost daily, I finally caved. It's time consuming and I honestly thought no one would care, but the response has been amazing. I love blogging now. Thanks friends!

Enkay : How would you define your personal style ?

Shayla Drake : Bi-polar lol. I'm really in to themes, so if the mood strikes, I can go from chola to school girl. In general though, I'd say girly with an edge. Think leather, spikes, and Doc Martin's. Residuals from my punk years I guess.

Enkay:  As a child were you always into clothes or did you grow into your own fashion sense?

Shayka Drake : Flipping through fashion mags gave me life at 5. I have always needed to be in control of my image. I started dressing myself and doing my own hair in elementary school. And I always waived out of wearing a uniform. Fashion is how I express myself.

Enkay :Do you follow fashion trends or you play by your own rules.?

Shayla Drake: I definitely play by my own rules. There are trends that I like, but I usually find the things that I gravitate to be ahead of the curve. When I'm obsessed with something, I will wear it regardless.

Enkay: What are the top 3 items you have on your wish list right now?

Shayla Drake: Everything that UNIF makes, Dannijo bibs with skulls, and the ever constant Chanel jumbo maxi strap in caviar I can't wait until I can afford.

Enkay:What do you have to say about swiss collections style, and what inspired you to subscribe to my blog?

Shayla Drake:I really dig it. I love that you show your own style but also incorporate celebrity style and show your readers how to recreate a look for less. Women are always looking for a way to update or rework what they already have in their closet, Swiss Collections Style offers the celeb way and the real way.

Enkay: How does your day to day life factor into your wardrobe choices?

Shayla Drake:My go-to's shift based on where I am. If I am in NYC or have to be on set, I go for items that are low key (think a good white shirt, black jeans, Doc's, and my fave hat with good jewelry) because dressing up can be impractical. When I'm in LA, I'm a bit more adventurous because the weather is perfect and I am driving.

Enkay: Who are your top 3 celebrity style icons?

 Shayla Drake:Gwen Stephani, Freja Beha Erichsen, and Rihanna.

Enkay:. Where do you do your shopping in America?

Shayla Drake: In NYC, I love the shops in SoHo. Top Shop has great jewelry. In LA, Melrose has very dope boutiques that cater to my Rock & Roll side. But most of my purchases are from online retailers like Nasty Gal, Asos, and Dolls Kill.

Enkay.: What are your top 5 must haves by every girl?

Shayla Drake:The basics
 i. a men's watch,
ii. black platforms.
iii.a sturdy white tee.
iv.a statement necklace such as a bib or collar.
v.a skinny jean thats fits snug at the ankle.

Peplum Colour Block Dress: in the style of Michelle Obama

Hey dolls hope ya'll had a good week so far..TGIF :-)
This month of June has been a very challenging month for me...i've been going through a lot and trying to make some changes but it has'nt been easy.Some times i try to blog  and i find it hard to think of what to post..but i'l stay positive all the same...In life we all go through issues at a certain period and at that stage we have three choices to make:
                    '' its either you let it define you ,Let it destroy you or Let it strengthen you''

This colour block peplum dress very similar to the Preen one michelle obama wore on the David Lettermans Show just a couple of months ago.
This gorgeous color block pepllum dress is still available in my show room only in uk size 8 all big sizes sold out.
i wore this outfit to church last week sunday, my hair has been a mess but hopefully my next post wont be with my natural hair :-)

                              Dress: Goddiva uk ,neck piece &bag: Dorothy perkins,sandals: New Look

Hey dolls haha random post But How do you feel seeing someone else rocking the same outfit with you for me i dont think its that much of a big deal though..because really lets face it you can not be the only person to own a particular clothing.But in most cases its not about rocking the same dress its about

WHO ROCKED IT BETTER :-)

Return of the pointed toe court shoes.!!

Hey Dolls hope ya'll are having a fab weekend .:-) This trend has been spotted all over this season and some celebrities have embraced it as well as designers on the runway. But BEWARE. There's a very fashionable way to wear them...and there's a very tacky way. In my opinion it's all in the length and shape. Long ass pointy tips is a big NO NO.. see below good examples of the trend. Neutral colors are always pratical but if you want to stay in S/S 2012 trends something more colourful would work for me.
