A Child Of The Jago

My visit to A Child Of The Jago



''THE DESTITUTE AND ILLEGITIMATE PROGENY OF A HOPELESSLY RUNDOWN ENVIRONMENT''


THE CLANG OF THE BELL THAT SHATTERED THE AIR AS THE DOOR CLOSED BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF MY TRIP TO LONDON DUNGEONS AS A CHILD. WONDERING THROUGH THE SHOP I WAS WAITING TO SEE AN OLD ENGLISH GUY WITH A CLOAK AND A WART STICKING OUT FROM THE END OF HIS CHIN. INSTEAD I WAS GREETED BY TWO CHINESE GUYS DRESSED HEAD-TO-TOE LIKE THEY WERE FROM AN OLD ENGLISH-MEETS-RETRO CIRCUS.

I SENSED THE SMELL OF MURDER AS MY CURIOUS EYES WANDERED, INTRIGUED TO FIND OUT MORE TO WHAT THE SHOP HAD OFFERED ME SO FAR. COMBINATIONS OF OBJECTS TEMPTED ME TO TOUCH AND MEANDER THROUGH THE SHOP.

KNITTED AZTEC VINTAGE TRIBAL CHINESE SHOES AND BOWLER HATS WERE THE LINE UP. I WAS EAGER TO SEE MORE BUT HELD BACK, AS CURIOSITY DID KILL THE CAT.

FEARLESS I WALKED DOWN STAIRS TO THE BASEMENT AND CAME FACE TO FACE WITH A WILD BORE. SHIT, I SCREAMED, NOTHINGS TO O.T.T FOR JAGO. LITTLE CUBBY HOLES HELD MORE VINTAGE JACKETS AND SHIRTS ON A VINTAGE RAIL.

THE DEEP RICH RED PAINT INTENSIFIED THE ROOM REFLECTING THE DATES BACK TO THE PERIOD OF QUEEN ELIZABETH TIMES, LEAVING AN OLD VICTORIAN VIBE IN THE MIST.

WHY VISIT LONDON DUNGEON WHEN YOU CAN GO TO A CHILD OF THE JAGO AND GET A REAL TASTE OF THE VICTORIAN AMBIANCE, WITH THE ADVANTAGE OF AMAZING CLOTHES.

My style crush Rhianna!

I'm overly obsessed with rihanna's wardrobe, so heres a window of my fav's!










I love summer

I









Summer



The seasons changed, so now its time to revamp our wardrobe and prepare for the summer.
If the thought of bearing all in a bikini is a bit daunting fret not, I have found a range of the best figure-fixing swimwear for all shapes. And plus some handy tips on how to make the most of your assets instead of getting lost in them.




Handy tips
‘My bust is big but my hips are small’
Don’t wear bikini tops that have volume-adding detail such as ruffles or beading
Do try and shop for bikinis that come in actual cup sizes
Do shop round for bras with underwire which will give extra support
Do shop for bikini’s sold separately so you won’t be in a situation where you’ve bought a size 16 bra set when you’re a size 10.












‘Making the most out of your assets’
Don’t feel that because you’re bigger you have to wear bigger; in fact wearing a little less is more flattering especially on your bum. So navigate away from big pants or boy shorts.Don’t be shy of wearing bold prints; because of your balanced proportion you can carry it well







Pear shapes to balance you out, buy bikinis with detailing on your top; you’ll get perfect curves in an instant.
