Hey my lovelies! You know what time it is. Tutorial time! So I have been playing around with ankara fabrics more than ever recently and I decided to start ankara inspired makeup tutorials. As you know these fabrics are often very colourful and to be honest I love the idea of creating wearable looks inspired by them. Oh and guess what? All the products I used in this video are less than 2,000 naira each. Yup yup! You guys know I always deal in affordable products but an entire face with products that cost that low is almost a steal.

I've been anticipating this post for ages. Been looking forward to showing y'all my dark side. Lol, indeed! The story behind this dress is long but I'll try to summarize it. My dad actually bought this dress for my mum. Yes! My mum! Can you beat that? He walked into a store in South Korea, saw this fitted dress with a large skull and probably thought 'Hmm, this will look good on my wife'. Lol. Trust my mum to do away with the dress once she saw it (hands up if you know typical Nigerian mums). I was the secondary recipient and I love it. I have worn it so many times but this is the first debut on the blog (round of applause).

Love is in the air, folks! Can you feel it? One of the most romantic things used to depict love is flowers and all things floral. So you can understand why I practically look like I have been dipped in an overflowing river of flowers abi? Let's celebrate this beautiful season of love, shall we?

Another Wednesday, another outfit post. Hey guys, hope your week is going on great? Today's outfit post is something quite casual. Who else reaches for a chiffon blouse and a pair of jeans all the time? ME! The combo is one of my favourite things to wear because its so easy to put together yet so stylish. I'm collaborating with another Naija brand today, Woorah Creations and this lovely peter-pan collar chiffon blouse is from them. Too cute.

Hello munchkins! Today I'm styling an outfit in different shades of blue. The wonders of fashion right? Royal blue for the blazer, sky blue for the polka dot skirt and turquoise blue for the shoes.

Hey darlings. I am super obsessed with this outfit I couldn't wait to do a blog post on it. One of my favorite ways to rock a blazer is to wear them with a pair of jeans or leggings and heels. I did so in previous blog posts here and here . I have quite a number of jackets and blazers especially from working a 9-5 job so I like to incorporate them into my everyday look. 

Happy 2017 guys!!! I hope this brand new year brings all the great things you've ever wanted. Live your dream this year and achieve unimaginable goals. Push yourself  harder than ever, do not slack! Show more love, smile more, just be happy. Life is too short. May God protect us all this year.

Hey darlings! I bet your week started off great. The year is almost over and now is the time to meet up with those goals before the year runs out. Its never too late, trust in God and be expectant.

I was going through my old blog posts a few days ago and I realized how far I have grown as a blogger. Things have changed, my style has evolved, photos are better and my content has improved. I love it when people tell me they can relate to my blog and my 'girl next door' style of writing. That has always been my aim.

Hey my loves, I'm talking about my journey to entrepreneurship so far. Its been a couple of months I ditched my job for personal reasons and I got around focusing on blogging. Along the way, I started my own wedding planning company with additional services like bouquet designing and very soon, tasty cocktails and mocktails. All for very affordable prices. This blog has also been more recognised recently with more brand collaborations and sponsored content and I couldn't be more thankful.

Trust me, this is not something I thought I would ever wear. I usually don't follow trends so the fringe craze did not appeal to me. However when I was gifted this casual fringe black and white dress, I became hooked and I felt like a rock star.

God save the queen!

That's part of the English anthem, right? Right! Hey my loves, long time no post yea? Been so busy with you know what. Our wedding is less than three weeks away, this is getting exciting!! Our awesome pre wedding photos are out just incase you missed it plus if you're itching to know our love story you can check all these out on our wedding website www.almajesse.com . Jesse worked on it all by himself with little imput from me. Techy hubby!

Hey my loves. I cannot believe how fast the days are flying by, wasn’t it January a few days ago? Lol. Preparations for one of the most important days of my life are in top gear, I need to catch my breath, SERIOUSLY!  Anyway here is wishing you all an amazing Easter celebration in advance and never forget the reason for the season.

I know right? I love this dress too. SheIn sent this to me recently and it was love at first sight. Shipping was exceptionally fast on this one. Got it in less than two weeks and in good condition of course. The white lace over the black material is pure perfection. The floral pattern of the lace is beautiful and the entire dress itself has a good quality feel to it.

I remember saying sometime on the blog that one of the easiest things I love to wear are maxi dresses. I recently wore this chiffon one to a park and it was one of the items sent to me by NewChic. This post is very laid back and easy and I tried to make the photos as natural as possible. This look is also very appropriate for the beach just incase you are too shy to wear a swimsuit/bikini. Lol.

Top of the morning to you my darlings! Lets just say that the year began well with my mailbox getting flodded with requests from different brands. Of course I only collaborate with brands/websites that potray my personal style. NewChic is definately one of them. Who knew that all the nice affordable stuff are carried by Asian companies?

This has to be one of my favourite posts ever. I was going for an all brown 90's look. Dress, shoes, hair and makeup. I think I got this dress when I was in the university for a ridiculously cheap price. Yes, way back (we are talking 2008/2009) but I still love it. Its pretty easy to wear and can be styled up or down. Notice how I matched leopard prints with my shoes and sunnies? And oh, that lip colour! Now, that's what I'm talking about.

Trust in the Lord, be strong and courageous, yes put your hope in the Lord. Psalm 27:14

At times when I'm worried, anxious or confused, the bible verse above gives me peace of mind. I remind myself that anything you put in the hands of God never gets lost. Many people ask how I keep my sanity together especially with the challenges of having a regular 9-5 job, running this blog and currently planning my wedding. All I can say is that the Lord has been our strength, he has continuously shown himself and blesses us with his favour every now and then. My words for you today: Hold on to God and at the nick of time he will show up for you. Apply this to every area of your life and be in for a wonderful surprise.
