Army Green Spy

Hi dolls... So I had to go out of my comfort zone for a while and try colors other than black, grey, white, army green and burgundy. 

Let's just say it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be and I couldn't help but wear black today.

The only mistake was wearing long sleeves and black on one of the hottest days in Naij.

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.

Print and Frills

Hi dolls... I spent thanksgiving in Los Angeles again. I'm starting to think LA is my new home especially during thanksgiving (this is my third thanksgiving here in a row).

The weather has been amazing even though its sunny, there is a slight chill but that's normal during winter. I spent thanksgiving weekend with my family (from my dad's side of the family) and I am obsessed with them. 

It's weird that I know all my uncles, aunties, cousins etc from my mum's side but not one person from my dad's (well now I do) :))

Carmen and Matt's wedding: What I wore!!

Hi dolls... Quick post share my outfit details for my friend Carmen's wedding. Saying goodbye to summer is always hard, the waether was a bit chilly so I had to be covered up but still serve a little bit of sexy without being trashy.

Normally I work with the color code when attending weddings but I didn't plan any color this time  because there was no color code for the wedding but I figured since it was Autumn, a dark shade would be appropriate.

Funny story, I thought I would have time to shop for barely there silver sandals to wear with this dress because it was missing that oomph and needed a bit of sprucing up.

The New Hipster

Hi dolls... I've been MIA for a while even after all my efforts to be more 'bloggerish' lol. I have been a bit busy but I've been working while being under the weather. 

Last week, Maju (one of my favorite Nigerian fashion brand) debuted their new collection, La Sorella. If you know me, you would know I'm a shopping addict, partial to Nigerian brands but most especially Maju. You can imagine how bummed I was to be away during the shopping party to debut the new collection but fear not, their creative director is awesome!!!

New uniform: Turtle Necks

Hi dolls... I have a thing for basics. It's just the easiest thing to throw on when you are looking for a quick fix. 

The turtle neck vest top recently crawled into my closet and I'm never letting it go. It's perfect for rainy season yet still dressy enough to be worn to work. 

I styled it in three different ways but it still looks chic, elegant and effortless. 

If you have that skirt that is always giving you a headache to piece together with a top, or a pant that nothing seems to fit, you definitely need one of these. 

Hey Mickey!!!

Hi dolls... I feel like I have a lot to say sometimes but I can never find the right words sometimes and other times I do but my internet provider won't let me.

For the first time in a while I'm blogging from the comfort of my room in Lagos not an airport or a hotel room.

I have a lot of new and exciting discoveries in Lagos that I can't wait to share here especially beauty secrets like where to get the perfect semi permanent human hair lash extensions for N5000 and trust me, you won't even see the glue. Plus the best place in Lagos to get the perfect nails fixed that can last for a month without affecting your nails.

Treble and Bass

Hi dolls... the second I saw this 'fit, I knew I had to have it. I love music (who doesn't) but I know I can't sing to save my life. 

The only people that suffer my vocals are my family members because I can turn any statement to a song lol. 

The pictures were taken with my iphone so the quality isn't the best but I just had to share this outfit with you all!!!

Wedding Saturdays

Hi dolls... I'm finally back home.

I was so tired yesterday so I couldn't blog last night. I literally had to drag myself to my friends wedding (14 years of friendship). If it was anyone else I probably wouldn't have made it.

I made it just in time to kiss and wave her goodbye.

Dress-aree

Hi dolls... Just a quick post to share my OOTD. It was one of those days where it rained all morning. I got dressed but wasn't too sure about my shoes (which never happens) but I couldn't be bothered to change.

As soon as I left my house, my car was moving in a funny way... of course it had to be a flat tyre in the rain but thank God there was a vulcanizer a few meters away. The whole cashless policy had me walking in search of a cash point.

Funny thing is I smiled through it all. I figured that every disappointment is a blessing and everything happens for a reason (in this case I had the wrong pair of shoes on!!!).

FAU: Sunday's Best

Hi dolls... Happy Sunday. Just wanted to share my OOTD with you all. Hope you had a blessed Sunday.

I wore this dress a while back when I was in LA. I styled it completely different with a leather jacket to give it an edge.

Will put up pics on Instagram so you can decide on the day I wore it better :)

Magic School Bus

Hi dolls... You can't see my neckpiece in the first pic but you will after the break. I loved watching 'the magic schoolbus' as a kid and this neckpiece reminded me of the cartoon so I had to get it.

Lady...like

Hi dolls... Another late post :)

I've had this jumper for almost seven years now (yes SEVEN) and I have never worn it. Was cleaning out my closet, found it and decided to pair it with this dress I got recently. 

I'm a sucker for daisies so I fell in love with the print of the dress before the fabric or style. I love the soft pastel inner lining paired with the organza daisy fabric.

Burgundy treats

Hi dolls... I was super excited to learn that Maju Live (a Nigerian Label) had a concession in Ikeja (Grey Velvet to be precise). Normally, I have to take a long drive to the island to purchase items from the brand but sometimes I get there too late and meet a closed sign.

Maju Live is one of my fave Nigerian brands. It's 'no rules' approach and unrivaled attention to trend and youth culture has made them a firm favorite with the trendy set. The brand is not only stylish but also very affordable.

White Gold

Hi dolls... Hope everyone is having an amazing week. Wore this outfit to work today also had a few meetings. Just a quick post to share my outfit details!!!

Happy Child

Happy Sunday dolls... Today has been eventful. It was my sister in law's sister's son's first birthday and I haven't pigged out this much in a long time. I wonder why I wore a cropped top today of all days. There was so much food and because I was spoilt for choice I had it all literally *hand over eyes*!! 

I had jollof rice, BBQ turkey, chicken gravy, *continental rice* (inside joke) which is basically rice and ugwu leaves (don't ask), king prawn sauce, sausages, puff puff and to top it off, chocolate cake and haagen daz ice cream. I definitely added instant pounds after that, even a crane couldn't lift me up lol.

I realized today that my inner child is an agbaya. I had to have a party cap and even did the whole 'aunty give me cake' whine lol. 

Maleficent Monday

Hi dolls... Just a quick post to share my outfit of the day. Not a big fan of kitten heels because I feel I walk funny in them but I fell in love with this lady-like pair from Zara. 

It's fun being the last child because I get spoilt by everyone especially my only sister. She has to be the most amazing person wit the biggest heart and even though she has a baby, I'm still her first child lol.

Ultraviolet

Hi dolls... Hope everyone had a great weekend. I just wanted to share a few pictures from yesterday. My google page has been acting up so please bear with me.

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. 

Mesh and Braids

Hi dolls... This top dress has been on my mind for a few days now and I finally wore it today. I was going to pair it with my high tops but decided to ditch the sporty look for a bit of glam. The best part of the top dress has to be the mesh detailing on the sleeves and the bottom.
