Feeling blue

Hi dolls... I've been a bit under weather. One of my good friend says this happens every festive period and I'm starting to see her point. It might also be the stress of driving from the Mainland to the Island everyday, traffic and what not!!!

Recently, I've been playing with the idea of getting my own place on the island. Trust African parents, aunties, siblings etc to preach about how a girl should only move out of her parents house when she is getting married. I find that statement hilarious not only because it seems unfair (I lived in London alone for years without any issues) but also because it sounds like they expect you to be dependent on them forever.

An 18 year old abroad can move out of their parents house, start their life, and be independent but in Nigeria, a 35 year old unmarried woman will be looked down on if she leaves her parents house (I'm not 35 lol).  I went to university abroad, passed with flying colors, managed to stay away from drugs, didn't get pregnant, got a good job at some point yet I am getting lectured because I want to be a bit more independent.

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.

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.

Wardrobe Essential: The White Shirt

Hi dolls... I keep getting questions about wardrobe essentials especially from ladies who want to revamp their closets and need to know items they shouldn't get rid of. 

Hopefully in this post, I will tackle some of the questions / fears some of us have when we are revamping our closets.

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.

Nude and Prints

Hi dolls... If you know me well you would know that I'm a big fan of Nigerian designers. I'm all for the team 'buy Nigerian' but some of the Nigerian brands are overpriced and of low quality. Most of them claim to be luxury brands but the fabrics are cheap and the finishing tacky. 

Well this was my view until my affair with Rukky Simone. I love the prints, fabrics, finishing of all the pieces and the prices are affordable (most items are under N10000). The only thing I noticed, which really isn't a problem, is the sizes run big. I normally wear a small but I had to get extra small with this brand. 

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!!!

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. 

Chanel darlings

Happy Sunday dolls... Sorry for the lack of posts but I've been a bit up and down. Up with new projects, down with malaria. I'm much better now and I know I still owe you amazing people a giveaway.

Black, White, Sequins... It's a wrap!!!

Hi dolls... I'm so sleepy but just had to put up a quick post seeing as I've promised I'd be a good blogger this year :)

I can't explain my sudden obsession with leather.. I've always loved it but now I've taken it to the next level.

Decided to brighten this look with my Riri woo lippie. I had to wear my Chanel Rouge Allure lipgloss in color 60 to get the shade and effect in the pictures.

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.

12 posts of Christmas... Post 7: Denim on denim

Hi dolls... I'm a big fan of acid wash jeans. Something about this trend feels very vintage to me. I decided to go all denim today.

Boxing day was so much fun... Will put up pics soon!!!

Mini Beauty Haul

Hello everyone!!! I just had to share a few amazing products I purchased recently. If you have tried any of these, please let me know :) 

Also wanted to show some amazing rings I received as a gift from a jewellery company called I.CCO here in LA.

Fontana not Montana

Hi dolls... So it's been a week and a day since my baby's birth so we (his surrogate mum, grandma and I) went for thanksgiving in Fontana. The drive to Fontana was long but after spending my whole day with shoe suppliers, I was looking forward to it.

Mini beauty haul

Hi dolls... Happy Sunday :) Hope everyone had an amazing week. For once I've not been out much due to the birth of my son, the most beautiful baby ever. He even came out pouting lol and has been doing great. His surrogate mum (my sister) is also doing amazing and words can't describe how proud of her I am.

If you've ever witnesses the birth of a baby, kudos to you. This was my first experience and I have a new found respect for ALL mothers. It is not as easy as they make it seem and everything they tell you about the delivery is times a million!!!!

Romper loving

Hi dolls... Sorry I've been MIA. Just wanted to share a few pics I took before my trip to Vegas (yes I had an amazing time). I'm back in LA now. I have a lot to say but so little time so I'd make this a quick post and do a proper long post later!!!

Back to black

Hi dolls... So if you know me well enough you'd know I'm obsessed with black. At one point in my life that's all I used to wear until my mum intervened. I decided to add a bit of colour to this outfit with my accessories. Went to the west end earlier to get a few bits and bobs and met up with my darling Lams who took these amaze(not) pictures lol...

Navy and gold
