I Got It From My Mama

 Top: Forever 21 Lingerie

c/o my stylist buddie Ayishat Akanbi 

Shorts: Calvin Klein c/o my mum!

 

 

When I was younger I wished my mum would wear frumpy, elasticated skirts like the other mums at the school gates instead of short shorts, leopard print dresses and fringed crop tops.

Fast forward a few years and I am SO grateful for my mums old wardrobe and the fact that I inherited her figure. White Calvin Klein denim shorts with a slightly high waist? Amazeballs! Thanks Mum.

When I bought this shirt while on holiday in Munich, I just knew I would wear it with my DM's. It feels very This Is England.

The day I shot with Jay Stewart was the last really hot day here in London so I turned up to the shoot in this. We weren't planning to take any pictures in this outfit, but we did just to warm up and some of them came out pretty good! This outfit is all about taking something old or basic and making it better. This t-shirt was a gift, you know the t-shirt everyone brings back from every city, everywhere. I cut off the sleeves, chopped some off the bottom and messed with the neckline and was left with this...the shorts were a pair of jeans my childhood sweetheart got me back when I was about 17. I never wore them anymore because I didn't like the fit...but when chopped up into a pair of shorts, they look great! My summer staple.

Jay wanted a natural look for the shoot, hence the DIY hair and make up haha

I finally got to do a shoot with a very talented photographer I've wanted to work with for ages, the lovely Jay Stewart (@jaystewartphotography) He has a thing for funny faces so we played about and had loads of fun..there are some shocking ones but also some funny ones!

Will be putting some more shots up from this shoot soon, so look out for them.
