Fashion: Duster Lookbook


***Duster Lookbook***

While on the hunt for a Duster waistcoat, I came across this fabulous orange duster by NewLook.
After much excitement, and possible embarrassment, in store I bought one and decided to go for a casual look for a BBQ with friends.
I started with a plain white cami top and added loose denim shorts.
For the accessories, I paired multicoloured  sandals, a light peach handbag and orange and chain bead hoop earrings by SweetOrange Bou.

For the hair, I would keep it simple with a ponytail plait, much like the lovely Kerry Washington.

Music: Alex Isley





"I was listening to US radio and heard this smooth voice...singing "You're like sugar, so sweet. I know this ones for me" I immediately went to google and typed in the lyrics and found the artist...Ms Alex Isley.
A 28 year old songbird hailing from New Jersey, US and Yes! the name sounds familiar, her uncles are the Isley Brothers but Alex shines in her own light with talent and vocals that are uniquely her. You can hear influences from 90's R&B and Jazz music but that's a good thing....Go Alex!"

Check her out!
