Dots, Spots, Circles and more...

Hi dolls... I've been away from blogging for so long it almost feels like I'm coming for confession and have to say ''it's been over a month since my last confession'' but I've been working on a few projects. 

Follow me on Instagram (@jibbywest) to keep up with all the weird and sometimes cool things I like and get up to. I might not blog regularly but everything happens on Instagram first :))

Camel and black

I'm in love with this look this season. Perfect way to keep warm while looking chic. 

Bisous...xxx

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.

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)

Lost but found

Hi dolls... Just found some pictures that never made it to the blog. 

I remember the day I wore this outfit, I was going for casual and comfortable. 

I love disney movies more than anything so you can imagine how excited I got when I saw this Bambi tee. 

The sequins on it makes it dressy even though it is a casual tee. I can also style it tucked into a skirt if I want to go for a dressy day look.

Check mate

Hi dolls... Don't know how I missed posting these. Wore this outfit a few days ago. It was really sunny so wanted to show a bit of skin lol.

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.

FAU: Sunday's Best

Happy Sunday dolls... Quick post to share my OOTD. 

I wore this VLR dress I got a while ago. I can't seem to let go of the dress so I keep recycling and finding new ways to wear it. 

I decided to pair the dress with a hat, purse and spangles (less is more sometimes :)).

Nigerian green

Hello everyone... I wore this dress for my son's first birthday party last Saturday. 

I remember the day I saw this dress, it reminded me of the dress Lupita Nyong'o wore for the Oscars earlier this year. Her dress was by Prada and she said the shade of blue reminded her of Nairobi blue.

I opted out of the plunging neckline and side boobs seeing as it was a child's party and I'm not as daring as I thought lol.

Hearts and Horses

Hi dolls... It's funny how a statement piece can define a look. Decided to pair my skater skirt with this luxe sporty top but the cherry on top had to be my bag. 

I fell in love with this bag in LA and couldn't wait to take it on a day or night out. The irony is that I'm not really a fan of milk because I'm lactose intolerant but ah well, we can't help what we love lol.

Frills and Prints

Hi dolls... I'm backkkkkkk :)) Sorry for the lack of posts but I've been super busy (will put up pics from my LA trip soon). It's always so good to be back home and with everything that happened while I was away, I'm just thankful.

My son turns one in a few days and words can't express the joy he has brought this past year. I'm happy to report that he officially took his first steps yesterday (someone wants cake lol) and hasn't stopped practicing.

If you follow me on instagram you would see the piñata I carried by hand all the way from LA. I didn't want to check it in so it would not get damaged. I can't wait for the party, bouncy castle et al.. yes I'm an agbaya.

My new uniform

Hi dolls... White is my new black. I try to avoid white as much as possible in Lagos because it's really hard to maintain the look. 

First of all, I have Kenya (my dog) who loves being carried. Arthur (my other dog) who jumps on me before I leave the house. 

Then we have dust everywhere and don't even get me started on people with make up who want to hug you. It really is a task maintaining white but it always looks so pretty on.

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!!!

Simplicity

Hi dolls... I decided to throw on some jeans and a body to run errands today. I'm pretty sure these are one of my fave jeans. I really don't know where the tush or hips came from but I just wanted to sing 'Will I AM - Feeling Myself' all day lol.

I finally got my brows threaded and tinted at Stella's Addiction Studio in Lekki (5 Wole Ariyo road) (will put up pics on instagram later) and I loved the outcome. My brows look awesome and I don't have to draw them in for a while :)

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.

Easter Sunday

Hi dolls... I've been a bit under the weather for a while (malaria) but that did not stop me from thanking God and celebrating Easter with my family. We had a lot to celebrate, it was my niece's dedication and it was also my papanimo's birthday so you can imagine the owambe that happened in my house. I took a few pictures before going to church. 

Something old, something new

Hi dolls... I've been so busy tagging I haven't even had time to put up my beauty and hair care secrets but I've edited most of the pics so get ready especially all my natural hair sisters!!!

I wore this outfit today (I'm into spring trends like nudes and whites at the moment). Decided to pair my old skirt with a new top I recently purchased.

Crop addict

Hi dolls... I'm becoming a bit of a cropped top addict lol. I wore this outfit to church today. Don't worry I tucked in my top (another way you can wear this outfit) but after church, I decided to whip out the midriff lol.

Throwback

Hi dolls... Just want to share a few pics I found.

I love the 'laid back look' trend. In my last post, I added heels to my laid back look to dress it up a bit. You can tell I'm kind of obsessed with the look. 

It is the easiest thing to wear especially when you are in a hurry and can't be bothered to look for an outfit.

Nothing like jeans

Hi dolls... I hardly wear jeans but when I find a pair I like, I can't help but wonder why I'm not really into jeans. 

I got this from River Island a while back and I'm in love with the trend (distressed with dots) and the high waist is an extra bonus because it gives it a vintage look
