We all know that stripes are timeless trend and it no surprise that they have made a comeback this spring. You can wear horizontal, vertical, big, small, bright stripes and you can glam it up or play it casual the choice is yours.  Stripes can be worn with a blazer, jeans, or skirt. Here are a few ways of how to rock the stripe trend: You can wear a stripe top, blazer, jeans and pumps for a day look or thrown in a pair of heels to transform this look to a night look. You can also wear a top/blouse with stripe skirt/pants or vice versa.  Why not try pairing your stripe top with polka dot pants for an over the top look.

Not so keen about Cheryl Cole’s outfit where she has combined vertical and horizontal stripes it is just not for me, I prefer wearing one piece of stripe at a time. Stripes are mush have trend and you can also wear them as accessories (bag, scarf, shoes, and earrings).

At last Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have tied the knot in a private ceremony, but the ceremony wasn't too private for the paparazzi as they managed to show the rest of the world a glimpse of their nuptial.

It’s now two years since I started blogging, my blog birthday was actually last Saturday 12^th May. When I started blogging I wasn’t sure I was gonna last a month never mind two years, it has been an amazing experience. Through blogging I have been able to meet some amazing people, got invited to different events, it just been awesome. I want to thank everyone who has supported me in one way or another, a big appreciation to you my readers for your support.

My weekend was awesome, went out for a meal with a few friends then later on we went to the movies to watch Avengers Assemble. The Avenger was really funny, entertaining and the graphic was really cool. I mean you can’t go wrong having six superheroes in one movie that is just awesome, It is a must see movie.

What I wore

Coral Jeans: Internacionale

Blazer & shoes: Next

Top: New look

Rings: Matalan & Dorothy Perkins

I am a big fan of rings, I kinda have a collection of rings, and when I saw the triangle ring on sale I just couldn’t help myself but buy it.

I have seen a few men trying to add colours to their outfit but majority of them have been wearing green, red, or brown.  Today after church as I was walking home I saw Clinton, I had to stop him to take photos of his outfit. The colours on his outfit were bold and beautiful, he simply killed it.  If you thought men can’t pull off colour blocking think again

Russell Brand did know what he had until he lost it and now he kinda wants it back. It has been reported that Russell sent Katy Perry an emotional e-mail in which he has asked for a second chance and said ending their 14 month marriage was a 'mistake'. A source close to the 36-year-old told Grazia, 'Word has it Russell was "seething with jealousy" when he saw pictures of her with Rob. He apparently feels he gave up on their relationship too easily.' The source continued, 'It's fair to say that Russell only wishes Katy happiness but perhaps he should have realised just how special his wife was when he was married to her rather than five months later.'

Studies have shown that aspirin can cure depression, heart disease, insect bites, in-growing hair, pre-eclampsia, dementia and risk of cancer. Aspirin can do more than banish headaches and here are some of the surprising benefit you never knew about aspirin.

Acne: Aspirin contain salicylic acid which is used in many off the shelf acne products. Mix aspirin tablet with water then rub the solution on to your skin. Leave it for 2 minutes then rinse off.  This will help dry your pimples out and spots will go faster.

Athlete’s foot: Grind 3 aspirin until they are in powder form, and then mix the powdered aspirin with some talcum powder. Apply the mixture on to the infected area of skin.

Dandruff: caused by a tiny yeast called Pityroporum ovale which lives on the scalp. Aspirin is a mild anti-fungal, crush two tablets and mix them with one serving of shampoo. Apply the mixture to your hair and leave for about two minutes so it can settle on your scalp. Rinse it off and shampoo your hair again.
