Malibu Beach
After about 40 minutes drive on the motorway from Hollywood, Malibu Beach was the next destination! It was a really peaceful town; literally it was Sun, Sea and Beach.
Santa Monica is another beautiful area in California and was not too far off from Malibu. Visiting the amusement park was a lovely way to end the day after all the driving and walking around. This is definitely the place to visit if you're into arcade games and fun fair vibes. You do have to pay a fee to get in but its all worth it, wether you're with a group of friends, family or a date!
Now I have ALWAYS wanted to experience high school in the US so I loved bumping into Hollywood High School in Hollywood! Of course this school specialised in performing arts and we did see a mini band at the front gates.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
DREAM COME TRUE! Now for so so long, I had always wanted to see the King of Pop's Hollywood star. The struggle was real to try and locate it! We walked up and down the boulevard trying to figure out where it was, not knowing there was two Michael Jackson stars, one who was a radio personality and of course the Kind of Pop. Luckily, a nice man told us exactly where we could find Michael Jackson's star - right outside the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Boulevard. This will definitely be framed at some point.

HOLLYWOOD SIGN
Seeing this iconic Hollywood sign in person was one of the most surreal, breathtaking moments I've had in a long time! I would always see the sign in movies, pictures, on the internet etc but seeing it in person was all kinds of amazing!
I was lucky enough to be staying in a hotel that was about 20 minutes from the sign so spotting the sign was no issue at all; my sister did the driving which made things soo much easier! I am 100% sure we past some celebrity houses on the Hollywood hills lol!
HOLLYWOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD
Getting around the city in a convertible was soo cool, and highly convenient especially during the heat. Being from London we are so used to taking public transport like the train or bus but in L A soo many people drove around - I only saw about a couple of buses in town!
LACMA MUSEUM
STAPLES CENTER: BASKETBALL GAME
My first EVER basketball game couldn't have been any better! It was an absolute dream to experience a live basketball game.
I watched the LA Lakers vs Timberwolves at the Staples Center. This venue is popular for holding high profile concerts, boxing matches and top events. Definitely something to check out if you're in town!

Hey guys!
So finally the snow has cleared up which means I can get back to blogging some of my new outfits! Its been a while...
I was really feeling to try something new and bold so luckily I happened to come across this pretty dress from Pretty Little Thing.
Is it me or does this dress look like a vintage Versace outfit?? I'm not obsessed with designers really but this did look like a classic outfit from back in the 90s... something Naomi Campbell would wear I think!
Hey guys!
These past few months have been filled with awards ceremonies and red carpet events with the most recent being the Black Panther Premiere.
Closer to home, a prestigious red carpet event took place at the Black Beauty and Fashion Awards. This event celebrated entrepreneurs, business owners, bloggers and much more in the Afro-Caribeean community.
Even though I unfortunately missed out on going to the Black Panther premiere (i know right?!), I was still able to feel the vibes of Wakanda at the Black Beauty & Fashion Awards in Porchester Hall, London - and yes everyone I interviewed had watched the film!
Check out the interviews below!

Happy New Year guys! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays with loved ones.
Personally I feel like the The New Year is a great way to start a fresh and to make some new goals that you would like to accomplish this year. I know for a fact there are so many things I would love to do this year and will definitely keep a positive outlook in how things will unfold!
To be honest 2017 wasn't exactly a 'really great' year and not just personally speaking but also the shocking events that was going on around the world. On a brighter note, I was happy that I got to do alot of travelling and make some moves in my journalism career. I'm feeling positive about this year and I pray that this year turns out exciting.
But back to the post, I definitely did enjoy some time to wind down and relax before the new year kicked off AND I also celebrated my birthday! So a lot of celebrations went on for me during the holidays lol.

Hey guys!
Talk about being cold outside! But that hasn't stopped me from dressing down. Its almost the end of the year and I'm sure some of you are thinking about your new years resolution, what to do next with careers& personal lives etc and theres nothing wrong with that!
So I thought it would be cool to channel that 'diva' vibe hence why the title of the post is called 'DIVA' ( Beyonce lyrics lol). I love experimenting with different styles and colours and this is something I'm definitely going to do more of in the future. Hope you like this Autumn/Winter inspired look & don't forget to follow me on all my socials!

Hey guys!
I've been really busy over the past week! If you don't already know, I've been doing some presenting in New York with Africax5.tv!
I spent 5 days in the big city doing some great interviews with bloggers, citizens and business owners in the US. I also got the chance to go around the streets of New York doing Vox Pops, which involves asking the public questions about trending topics in the US particularly to do with with race and culture.
It was so interesting to get the publics opinion on topics that are not often spoken about openly. US politics can be confusing but I was so glad that Africax5.tv was able to make these topics more engaging for young people like myself to be interested in exploring it more.
