Are you stylish enough? | Ofaneverydaygirl vs You

And let's allow for role reversal. Rather its me on the left.


'Am I stylish or even decent looking against her?'
'I look like crap.'

I could greatly refer to this form of action with confidence. And yes, I will put my hands up and say that. However, I think that regardless of confidence, if you see a super-lady; let's say who is just flawless in every way (With a very big budget and every form of beauty appointment in her filofax, or even her PA), then I guess we instantly feel a tad insecure.

I am sure many of you will have come across that 'gif' of that 'you vs 'me', where they essentially compare two women who happen to be in the same place, but obviously one looks flawless against the other, who is instead crouched looking cumbersome in the corner. Of course that is entirely out of order, as one may be having a moment, which are allowed to have. Sorry Beyonce, but you set the bar too high, with the 'we woke up like this' idea.

I ask this myself everyday when I hit the streets of London Town.  However, I have two reasons for this.

Firstly, being a girl, is one thing. It is not just what you wear. You are what you eat could be argued to pose some importance. Your skin, make-up, HAIR, it all adds up to create the perfect picture. The 'Hair' is emboldened, only because I have the mane of Hagrid. Especially in the lovely land of England, and now reaching A/W my hair erupts into a flurry of bush.

On the other hand, it is way easier for the opposite sex to looks absolutely dashing. They need about 3 pairs of clothing items, a universal pair of shoes, hopefully matching socks and a hella load of cologne for us all to be falling to their feet. And how could I forget the facial hair! Lord, you gentlemen just have to let mother nature take over and its all well. I walked past a rather dashing gentlemen who looked like he walked out of the J.Crew catalogue. Like how?

It is a matter of fact, that the lads have it easier. But with girls, it could be arguably the same, but at the same time- not so much. Girls have a masse of things to choose from in terms of clothing items, make-up looks, tan, fake boobs, fake butts, fake eyelashes; this could go on forever. Also the hair, it all adds up.

This has accounted to become a rant, more than anything else. However, it would be great to see how many others feel the same. Also, what are you coping mechanisms in this instance? If I am looking rather horrendous and happen to walk past that cute guy I happen to see everyday; which actually does happen, my hands and everything in my possession makes way to crawl up to my face and somehow allow to hide myself.

However, it is my fault to leave the house with absolutely no make-up, unwashed hair and wearing my sweats.

Birthday Smalls | Ofaneverydaygirl

It is my birthday next month and I have compiled an edit of the perfect things one could dream of to getting on their birthday.

Because I am oh so special, or I wish I was- I have decided to make two separate wish lists. 'The Smalls' and then of course the clothes and shoes.
Hermes Collier de Chien. Rolex two-tone watch. Chanel boy bag. Maison Michel wide brim hat. Rayban Aviators. Charlotte Simone popsicle. Cornicello pendant. Jaws pendant. Karl scarf. Prada card holder. NARS multiple. Kevyn Aucoin sculpting power. Tarte contour brush.


Now this wish list would set you back a humungous amount, I know. However, if anything this edit has compressed or highlighted the essentials for any girl. Of course you need a watch. How else can I tell the time? And no, the Iphone is highly unreliable with its battery life. On that note, a bag is fundamental. A small stylish bag, for everyday use should of course be mine. The Chanel is a lovely touch. (That's what she said.)

Moreover, the clouds have been letting themselves free for the last few days, a wide brimmed hat is exactly what one needs. The added 'M', which has to be my Initial just has to be mine. It was meant for me, no? I could be justifying every little thing on here, but I do not want to bore you.

It was rather fun complying this all. This edit is not just a throw up of expensive mess, but really individually can be claimed as essentials. Might have to get one at a time. That would make me 32 by the time I get it all.

Hmmm, now how do I rob a bank?

What would be on your birthday wishlist?

London b*tch, I mean beach | Ofaneverydaygirl

My sister and I meandered through the gloomy streets of London, however with the hope to brighten up and be enlightened with some little wonders trapped in this questionable 'miserable' city. And to be fair we did find some treasures.


We first set foot in Somerset House, which in itself is a beauty. We decided to visit the Rudeboy exhibition and it was rather great. The quote above essentially defines a rudeboy, however as much as the outfit/ and styling pictured was supposed to represent a Rudeboy, it did not quite meet my expected persona. Regardless, the photography was great, as well as, the style of clothing as well. Fashion bloggers better watch out, there was some serious coolness going on.








We then found ourselves in Southbank and I felt rather rebellious and cool and so,  took the steps down into what could be argued as London's somewhat of a beach. It almost felt like I was elsewhere. If you are ever are close by and need a breather, especially after a long day- make sure to escape it all like the man above and have a fag and a thought or too, or maybe no thoughts. Not promoting smoking at all, its pretty bad.




Of course there has to be an outfit. I think I might be killed for blogging the same style/ clothing items. It is bad, but I cannot help it. It is the basics which allure me. Of course a London 'beach' means you wear the thickest of jumpers, with a blazer to top it off. And forget the thought of flip flops.

H&M Blazer

Talk about having a brand obsession. Ooops

'Circumstance' | Ofaneverydaygirl's life

My blog name screams utmost relevance to what I want to talk about. I am going to write or more like spill all the murmurs of my brain and heart, which might be deep ridden with many other ordinary people of the world / or every other girl, if we relate back to my prior point on relevancy. Regardless, it is something that is very likely, however at the same time, it is extremely hard to substantiate.

I do not know how to put it, however the word 'circumstance' just sets in straight. 12 letters, a single word- but with so much more reason. Everyone is in a different circumstance, we are in a different setting, and we are ultimately a 'different' person. We are all different, simple as. We want to be something or someone but sometimes boom, crash, bang; it does not happen. Then, this change in one's circumstance leads to a spiral of pity and negativity. But why does one let this happen?

Really, I cannot answer this 'correctly', as I myself have been caught red handed. However, we are humans and it is in us to do that. But really, we are digging our own grave. Everyone is different and we all have different lives and situations. It was not meant to happen. So what? It is the future that we can change and can decide, to some extent and then it will allow us to change our possible circumstance.

This circumstance cannot consume us, rather one needs to beat it and make it better. No one and nothing should dictate to us what we should do with our bloody lives. We shan't let our past and even our circumstance confine us to limited choices.

I cannot believe I am writing this on the Intranet, but so what? Circumstance is the term I have been carrying around me for weeks and only now am I configuring that it is meant to be, and I have to deal with it.

If you have further to add to this and the idea of circumstance, let the steam let loose down below.
