Rusty Petals

Hi dolls... Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend.

Just wanted to share a few pictures that never made it to the blog.

I've had this dress for a long time, even wore it for my sister's registry years ago (don't know how I did now thinking about it).

This throw/cover up has to be one of my fave clothing piece right now. It's so easy to wear with anything. The color is the perfect shade of rust so it can be worn with most colors.

Femme Flare

Hi dolls... You know how somedays you just wake up and you know it's going to be a great day? This was one of those days, I woke up feeling on top of the world and nothing could bring me down.

Lagos traffic had nothing on me, my staff calling in sick did not move me, house hunting going south didn't affect my day. I just felt good knowing God had my back and that was enough for me.

To top it all, I got a message on IG saying I won something (will share soon).

I have this white two piece that I haven't worn for some reason. I decided to pair the top of the set with my vintage midi skirt.

What if...

Hi dolls... I've stopped thinking about all the what if(s) and I've been concentrating on all the things that are important, making sure I get them done along the way. 

It is not a new year's resolution, it's more like 'life goals' to live with. I write all the things I need to achieve and work towards getting them.

Taking chances and making changes are the new key words I embrace now because not only is life too short but I do not want to have any regrets.

Mix and Match

Hi dolls... I'm throwing this post way back to the first Sunday of 2016 lol. I remember waking up that morning in panic because I had nothing to wear in my mind. 

I quickly had a shower, did my make up and started the search of the perfect first Sunday of the year outfit. I had almost given up and was about to throw on a dress when I spotted this top I've had for over seven years but I've never worn.

Like anyone in panic mode, I put the blouse on thinking I could throw on a plain skirt but decided to wear a trad outfit. I took the top off, went to my closet to hunt for a trad outfit when I found the outfit I wore for my sister's wedding.

Late post: October 12

Hi dolls... Most of you already know my birthday but for those who don't, it's the 12th of October and I also have a half birthday on the 12th of April.

I'm really big on birthdays, growing up I had four every year. It's awesome being the last child. If my brothers or my sister had a birthday, I had one too (hence 4 birthdays). I would not wear my uniform that day, I would be in a proper birthday outfit, cake and party packs for my friends.

Not so basic!!!

Hi dolls... Today was one of those days I wanted to do a simple outfit and call it a day but as soon as I put this dress on, I became inspired. In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to be an Egyptian princess for the day. 

There's nothing I love more than playing dress up. When I was little, my sister and I would raid my mum's closet and style each other, make each other up and add accessories. 

One day, my mum got back early (you can imagine what happened next lol)

Merry 'Un' Birthday to me

Hi dolls... It rained all day yesterday but for some reason I was in a very good mood. The whole white phase ended the minute I got a hug from my friend and her face print on my top lol, see why it's hard to wear white in Lagos? Don't even get me started on stains I got from carrying stuff (dust everywhere).

Back to my post, If I had a tiara, I would have worn it instead (that was the type of mood I was in) but I settled for my mouse ears and a sparkly jacket. A few people even thought it was my birthday!!! I've always had the urge to try culottes but never got on the band wagon but as they say, there's always a first time. 

Lingerie style

Hi dolls... My friend celebrated her engagement with an introduction on Saturday plus I had a few events to attend so I decided to wear this lingerie style dress. 

I felt a bit exposed going to her house (parents, relatives et al.) in the dress with super thin straps, so I threw on my VL jacket and the look worked. 

The neckpiece seemed a bit 'overdressed' with the jacket but I decided to leave it on.

Officially casual

Hi dolls... Had a traffic filled day so I'm happy to be back home cuddling Kenya. Nothing says casual like a good pair of denim, now picture a waistcoat denim jumpsuit paired with a smart shirt...!!! This has to be one of my fave white shirts (gift from my sister) so I look for every opportunity to wear it.

I am in love with this waistcoat jumpsuit. It can be worn as denim pants alone if you detach the waistcoat, pretty cool right? 

May Day

Hi dolls... We had a bank holiday today to celebrate workers day. I wore cheerful colours to brighten my day (it rained all morning). I had to work even though it was a bank holiday but I can't complain, I'm just happy being happy. Decided to try the 'less is more route', no powder or foundation, eyeshadow, bronzer, blush etc just kajal and my rimmel red lipstick. 

Cropped affair

Hi dolls... This is a late post (sorry). I've been a bit ill so couldn't blog or do much. My mum decided to take me out shopping a few days ago. I was super happy to doll up and go anywhere that wasn't work related.

One Jacket, Two Looks...

Hi dolls... You already know I'm obsessed with leather but I'm also in love with stripes. So I paired to of my fave items last week and when I was going through my pictures I found a few pictures I hadn't uploaded yet wearing the same jacket!!

Recycling is the new black. When I love an item, I can wear it over and over again. I just style it a bit different each time to see what looks I can come up with.

Walking on sunshine

Hi dolls... Today was such a busy day for me... I had a lot of events and so little time so I decided not to plan my day and just see how it goes.

Weddings have become 'the' event lately. It seems like everyone is getting married and the questions aunties and uncles ask now is 'when are we coming for yours?'.  The simple answer to that is God's time!!!

12 posts of Christmas... Post 9: Lagos Fashion Week Diaries - Day 4

Hi dolls... Happy Sunday!!! Just a quick post sharing pics that I promised to put up ages ago!!!

As the year comes to an end, I'm cleaning out my closet or in this case lappie/camera lol.

The big 60

Hi dolls... My mum turned 60 the other day (22/08 to be precise). If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen a pic I uploaded. I had to wear this amazing dress from Virgos lounge. I felt amazing and got so many compliments (it almost felt like my birthday too lol).

So far...

Super woman

Hey dolls... With the amount of work I've covered this past week, I feel like super woman. Decided to let my hair up and go casual. I'm a huge fan of dungarees right now and it is one of those trends that never really goes out of fashion.

Shoe heaven!!!

Hi dolls... Shopping has finally taken it's toll on me. I am in love with so many styles at the moment and the high street has made it easier to spend without breaking the bank!!! 

I found a few luxury brands I love and my high street finds too so I decided to share. Below are a few of my fave styles at the moment...
