Hey guys! How are y'all doing??? Ready for Christmas yet? Here is wishing you all a beautiful celebration ahead and may the peace and love that comes with the birth of Christ abide in your homes and your hearts always. My favourite thing to do with fabrics recently is creating co-ordinates. I fell in love with this fabric at first sight. It is a soft cotton material with beautiful prints.

Here is another collaboration with SheIn. You can check out my first one with them here. I knew I just had to have this midi skirt being that it is pink and I am such a sucker for anything pink. I wish my house was pink, my car would be pink, my life pink. Okay I'm just kidding but you get my drift.

Yayyy! to makeup post. Its been a while. I know many of you shy away from rocking a smokey eye look and you almost never look at that black eye shadow in your palette twice. You can create a smoky eye look with that eye shadow without looking like a racoon. Yes, a racoon. Don't worry I got used to abandoning my black shadows too and being light skinned I should be scared but I know better now. I'll be showing you guys how I got this easy breezy look that is totally wearable day and night especially for the festive season approaching.

Hey hunnays! Can you smell Christmas in the air???? I sure can and I am more excited about Christmas this year than ever before. Its going to be extra special! *wink wink*.

I have slowly become addicted to shopping on international sites and Asos is the 'baba' of them all. Lol. The beautiful thing about Asos is that what you see is what you get. The items look even better in person than on the site.

So a while ago my dad was away for a whole month and trust him to return with a goodie or two. This pretty dress was my gift from him and I like that it is not the usual dashiki style in tops and straight dresses. I've worn this casually but I thought to dress it up a bit. I figured this will go well with an edgy pair of shoes so I opted for these caged heels and a vintage mini-bag. I took these photos myself! Yippie!

This beautiful dress was made for me by my seamstress and I fell in love at first sight. I bet you didn't know it was tailor made right? Yup. So did everyone who sighted me wearing it. My aim was to recreate this ASOS dress HERE and I think we did well making a dupe. I knew I had to wear it to a wedding first so I did so last weekend. Its a pretty combo of lace and chiffon plus the lovely colour especially on my skintone is simply amazing. You know you can always put your left over lace materials to good use no matter how small it is. Take a cue from this.

I'm thoroughly excited to be doing this post today. I've always been a fan of the fashion website SheIn (formerly SheInside). From afar, I would admire all their cute pieces and see many of my favourite fashion bloggers rocking them. You must have seen me link many of my posts to their website for similar items to many of the ones I showcase here. I do this mainly for my readers based in the United States. Anyway. let me stop yapping away, I WAS CONTACTED BY SHEIN!!!

Hello guys! Today, I'll be sharing with you the most enchanting experience I had recently at a beautiful event in Lagos. Africa's number one wedding website, BellaNaija teamed up with Baileys Nigeria to have an event for brides-to-be all across the country tagged 'Wonderland'. This was a highly publicized event as brides-to-be were asked to send in their entries to stand a chance to be invited and win amazing, amazing prizes. This was also put together to celebrate BellaNaija's 10th Anniversary. See the advertisement post HERE . Since I am currently engaged to be married, I sent in an entry and was pleasantly surprised to be selected as one of 30 brides to have an experience of a lifetime through this event. Selections were made based on the most fairytale like love stories and brides-to-be were chosen from all across the country.

So, today is rant day on the blog. The same way I have products I love is the same way I have some I can't stand. Some of these products have their advantages and I will not fail to highlight them. Please bear in mind that this is not to bash any brand as I have other products from these brands which I absolutely love. However, these are my honest opinions about these particular products and I strongly believe that what doesn't work for me may still work for some of you. So, have that in mind. Let's get to it.

This post is coming a bit late so my apologies, people! Another quarter is over again and this time I smell Christmas coming soon. Yayyy! As usual I have some items I have really been loving this last quarter, scroll down for all the goodies and know where to get them too.

A good friend who is also one of the biggest comedians in Abuja, MC Amana hosted his maiden show last weekend. I was going for a pretty and easy chic look for this event so I wore this chiffon tunic dress that I got from JUMIA. As you already know that is my go-to online store here in Nigeria for the most trendy, affordable and quality items from a host of well known brands across the world.

I've heard one too many 'oohs' and 'aahs' about Colour Pop Cosmetics and I knew I had to get my hands on some of their products ASAP. It is an all American brand made in Los Angeles, California. My mum was recently on vacation in the U.S and I used the opportunity to hop on the Colour Pop website, order and pay for some items and had them shipped to where she was residing. Of course I was blown away when I recieved them upon her return, it is everything I had envisioned  it to be. The formula is gorgeous, so pigmented and the feel is as soft as butter. Seriously! Almost mousse-like. I ordered three eyeshadows and two highlighters for starters. The best part is that each of the eyeshadows are $5.00 and the highlighters cost $8.00 each. Total was $31.00 ONLY! Pretty amazing right?

We typically do not have the fall season in Nigeria so I'm still having crazy fun with my colours. Apologies to all my international readers though. I really love these photos. The colour of this playsuit and the colour of the plants in the background formed a beautiful colour contrast that I instantly fell in love with. My camera also captured the dark clouds so beautifully, I couldn't stop gushing.

I'm such a fan of purple/lilac eyeshadows and I decided to show you how I rock such a pretty colour by creating this simple everyday look. The eyes are a mixture of dark purple and lilac from different palettes and the lipstick is one of Milani's Colour Statement Lipsticks. Both have a beautiful frosty finish.  I enjoyed creating this look. Scroll down for the pictorial and all the products used.

The generous people of Jumia sent me a voucher recently (as usual) and I shopped some really nice pieces. This dress is one of them. I could not resist the colours and the print. I think this particular dress is sold out but there are similar and even prettier Vera & Lucy dresses still available. Check all the links below and oh, I'm showing you how to wear this dress from day to night. Plenty more outfit posts coming soon.

Hey loves. Been wanting to do this post for quite a while as it has been requested by many of you, but I wanted to be sure I was not going to subtract or add anything to my current regimen. Anyway, in the event that I do, just note that this is my CURRENT skincare routine. Very simple and easy. I was never one to do much to my skin

Hey guys!!!! How are y'all doing???? Can you feel my excitement? If you follow me on social media, you would know that I recently got engaged. Yup! I'm now engaged to be married to my best friend and love of my life. The whole week has been so surreal, trust me, you are never truly prepared for it. Its been overwhelming getting congratulatory messages from you all on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, I cannot say thank you enough. If you missed all of these, just follow and check out my Instagram page HERE especially to watch my epic reaction when I realised I was about to be proposed to. Its freaking hilarious.

Hey guys, how are y'all doing? Hope your week has been awesome so far. 

I haven't done any shoots recently as I haven't been in the right frame of mind to do so. If you follow me on social media, it wouldn't be news that I lost someone very close to me.

Hey guys! I cannot believe that this blog is already ONE YEAR OLD. It seems just like yesterday I made up my mind to take my passion for fashion and beauty to a whole new level and I must say I have not had any regrets even for a day. Despite my daily 8-5 job, I still make out time afterwards to edit posts and use my weekends for photo shoots. It hasn't been easy though.

What's not to love about summer? Best part is wearing exciting colourful clothing. Midi skirts are very much in high demand this season and better still floral prints are selling out fast. This skirt is made with a very light silk-like material.. It is currently sold out but you know I've got you covered by hooking you up with something similar (check links below).

I have been itching to do this post. If you are into Youtube makeup videos and you don't know Missy Lynn a.k.a Start2FinishMUA, then my darling I must ask 'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN'? I've been subscribed to Missy Lynn's channel for a while now and she is a cute black American who is in the military and is also a beauty guru. Some months ago, she teamed up with BH Cosmetics to create her own eyeshadow/highlighter palette and its been selling out fast.

Just a quick post on this pretty pink dress I wore to a wedding last weekend.
CLOSET is a London-based line of clothing and they make the most pretty and delicious dresses, many of which are currently being sold on Jumia. Its a little bit pricey but I purchased this dress along with a few other stuff using my free shopping voucher. Oh yea!

Here is bringing you three fashion bloggers whose style and fashion sense are a lot like mine and three beauty vloggers I simply adore and have learnt a lot from. All beautiful women who give me tremendous inspiration. Check it out.

Hey beautiful people! Who says 'Iro' and 'Buba' must be worn together all the time. I bet you couldn't tell right? This was an outfit I wore to a child dedication recently when I was clueless about what to wear and I fished out a pair of jeans and a 'buba'. It came out really nice so I though to share the tip with those of you who love effortless fashion. Like I always say, style should be versatile. You should be able to rock everything with anything.

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!

I feel like so many of us say the same thing on our birthdays but really what is more important to say than THANK YOU GOD! I'm thankful for the gift of life itself, for being alive up until this very moment. For all my experiences in the last twenty six years (I can't believe its been that long and yea I'm not one to hide my age). For the gift of family and loved ones. For good health of mind and of body. For everything. I am so thankful.

Hey darlings, welcome to the next half of 2015, the start of a new quarter, the beginning of a new month. July is my birth month as well. So glad its here. I have waited endlessly for this post and so have you. I got so many positive responses from you guys after the last quarterly favourites post in March, so of course, I couldn't wait to do it again. There are so many stuff I've been loving this last quarter but as usual I'm only giving information on my absolute favourites.

I usually wear this denim gilet with dresses for a casual yet chic look. Today I'm styling it differently with a pair of cropped jeans. The whole outfit just has a 90s vibe to it and reminds me thoroughly of one of my favourite icons of all time, Aaliyah. My accessories for this look are too cute.

Few months ago, I saw this dress on On-Air Personality, Toke Makinwa and I knew I had to have it. I really had to. So I purchased it from PayPorte a while back. It was the first time I shopped on that site and its safe to say that I was not disappointed. I love this dress, love love love it.

Hey guys! So I figured since I have been dishing out dark makeup looks, its about time I did something fun and playful. Doing these makeup pictorials is very tasking, I tell you, but then again its so much fun.

Hello my munchkins!

So I mentioned in my last post that I had something to share with you. If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, you would have seen it already. But if you don't, then I'll drop it here.

 Hi guys. I'm excited about today's post. Can you tell?

Who knew blue and neon yellow could look so good. I've had it in mind to combine them but I was a bit skeptical. Imagine my surprise when it turned out perfect. My new favourite fashion tip is layering dresses over tops/shirts to create a brand new look. Ironically both the top and the dress have exactly the same pattern.

So I'm sharing a quick post with you today. Yes, yes, I know there are a thousand and one different items many ladies have in their closets (myself included). If I were to list that, one blog post wouldn't contain all. However, for this post, I'm focusing on my seven wardrobe essentials. To me, all other pieces of clothing and pairs of shoes are secondary but these ones never go out of style and can be styled in different ways.

I've had this jumpsuit for some time and I realised that I didn't do a post on it despite wearing it a few times. So here you go, guys. The material is really light and its got inner pockets which I really like. I'm a huge fan of jumpsuits generally because its such an easy look to pull off and is also pretty easy to style.

Hey guys, before heading on to today's outfit post, I would want to hint a bit on self-confidence. If you follow me on Twitter, you would see that I take out a few minutes in a week or so to rant a little about random topics. We are in the age of the social media and as such so many people are trying so hard to be everything they see online.

Yup! That title was so appropriate for this outfit! Truth be told I don't even remember how I acquired this dress. Probably one of the many gifts from my mum or so. Instead of purchasing new items all the time, I'm styling my old clothes in different ways. You could save a ton of money doing that.

I remember saying when the year began that I will be introducing a few series to the blog. Today, we begin another of them. Every quarter, I will be dishing out my top favourite beauty products, fashion items e.t.c as the case may be.

I've been so busy revamping and pairing old pieces in my closet. I must say its been quite refreshing. This playsuit is one of my favourite 'easy to wear' pieces. Today, I dressed it up with a sky blue blazer and playful coral heels. Perfect for a night out. I had to go for a pixie cut hairstyle as the HEAT in Nigeria is totally ridiculous. If you're in Abuja and need to know where I had it done, please send me an e-mail.

Hey people. So I'm starting a new series on my blog for all events I attend that are 'blog worthy'. This was mostly suggested by my dad who has become an ardent supporter of my blog in recent times. Thanks dad.

Hey guys! Hope everyone is good. I had an opportunity to wear this cool comfy batik outfit on a nice Saturday evening being that the weather is extremely hot right now in Nigeria. This is just a simple pair of top and shorts but the material makes it stand out so much.

Ever wondered how you can wear a sequin top in the daytime? Simple. Tone it down with a darker colour, throw on a pair of heels and you're good to go. Over the weekend, I paired this multi colour sequin top with brick brown trousers and strappy heels. Really loved the entire look. By the way, my braids have refused to get old. The older it gets, the prettier it becomes. I'm really feeling the hairstyle this season and I see myself making more of them.

Hey guys! I was featured on one of the biggest style blogs ever FASHIONBOMBDAILY. I randomly sent in an entry as I didn't think I would even get featured out of the numerous style bloggers all over the world. Didn't even send in my best photos but then boom.. I recieved an e-mail yesterday and then boom.. I got featured on the blog, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Hey guys! This outfit combination gives me a feeling of fusing Western and African cultures. Denim and ankara can be styled in so many ways and this is just one of them. This is a fun, edgy and chic look and you can easily turn any ankara skirt into an awesome fashion item.

Most times when I have an event or outing at night, I go for one particular look. Champagne gold eyes and bright red lips. It always works for me, its really simple and I'm sure it would look good on just about anyone. I also used dramatic lashes to achieve a 'wow' effect. Being that Valentine's Day is a few days away, this would be perfect for date night with that special one.

Lace co-ordinates are so in right now. I had mine sewn in a gorgeous emerald green colour and the material is pretty inexpensive. For additional colour, I went for these cute coral bow shoes. I really love how the two colours look together plus I'm obsessed with my new braids.

Thinking about a heading for this post, I coined the words 'PINK PRINT' as my blazer is a pink shade of an abstract print. Imagine my surprise a few seconds later when I realised that was the same name as Nicki Minaj's new album. That has to be her most mature album till date and I appreciate her more as an artiste right now. Great album.

I did this shoot in a spur of the moment one evening. This blazer was perfect for a military inspired style because of the army green colour and the gold detailed buttons. Its something I usually wear to work but I dressed it up differently to suit the style I wanted pairing it with leggings and gold pointed shoes. Isn't it amazing how pointies are back in fashion? I found similar shoes, you can check the link down below.

Happy New Year darlings! May the year 2015 be good to every single one of you.
For most of you who don't know, this dress was sewn. Yup, you heard me, sewn! Big up to my tailor, she's amazing. When I have something in mind, I usually don't stress about finding it readymade. I just design and have someone bring my idea to reality. I got inspired to make this dress because of the lace details attached to the neck and sleeves.
