OOPS, I DIDN'T GET THE MEMO!

As i seat here,  baby on my chest,  i cast my mind back to the journey to now.  Na me be this? How time flies.  I remember been told i was pregnant,  and how happy i was,  albeit scared. I remember looking forward to rocking a fierce maternity style game.  I especially remember the excitement at the thought of eating anything i wanted without being judged. Oh,  i had dreams and plans of how i was going to be pregnant and still look chic.  Boy was i wrong! 

SAY MY NAME

Hello Lovelies, how time flies! Its the begining of a new week, and we are fast approaching the new year, YAY!!! This year has been a good year, filled with the sweet, sour and outright bitter, but still, a great one for me. I am happy to be alive.

STEP BY STEP

Hello Lovelies. Week was awesome, I hope?

You know how they say the journey of a lifetime begins with a step? I have often heard people say it, but up until now, I haven't really given it a thorough thought before. I am currently on this journey into motherhood, and I can categorically state that it does truly begins with a step, and another one and another one. I take each day as it comes cos i dont want to be overwhelmed or stress myself too much.

COLOUR SPLASH

Hello Lovelies, having a good week?

STYLE INSPIRATION : SUNDAY OUTFIT

Hello Lovelies. Here's a quick post to inspire you for tomorrow's outfit to church, or let me say, I would like wear these to church.

This sweet red dress is easy to wear, no too fitted and on trend. The mesh details at the top and bottom create a peak-a-boo effect without over doing it. More importantly, if you have a good tailor, this is a style he/she could replicate for you, and even add different twists to.

SPARKLES & MAGENTA

Hello Lovelies, hope you had a fantastic weekend? I did; attended my  friend, Bimpe's wedding. This is my first outing this year, and I had been planing it for weeks, lol!

The event was split into Friday and Saturday, and I enjoyed both days

BEEN A WHILE

Hello Lovelies, its been quite an age. Sorry I disappeared without giving prior warning, and although I say this a lot after a no-show period, I'm for real this time, and I'm back for good.

So who else missed me apart from +Amaka Hundeyin ? She missed me so much, she gave a Liebster award and even had to call my attention to it, lol! That's how far away I have been from blogs and all things related to the internet, apart from bbm, that is.

VEIL AND HENNA

Hello Lovelies, how was your weekend? Mine was fun filled; attended my best friend's wedding.

I had been looking forward to the wedding for two main reasons being that I would get to wear a veil and do laali ( Henna tattoo). It is traditional for the  Muslim bride and her friends to have the laali done as part of the ceremony. I have never had it done before so you can imagine my excitement when the henna women came to paint us!

INTRODUCING AB WEARS

Hello Lovelies, week going alright?

I would like you to meet this cool set of tees and hoodies called AB Wears. The team behind these stylish and trendy pieces also do branding of shirts, caps and shoes to name a few. 

Kindly check on some of the designs. Enjoy...

MUD & MINT

Hello Lovelies, its the middle of the week, which simply means we are getting closer to our aims and goals and the end of the year.

Just thought to share pictures of my current hairdo; I don't know what its called, but I call it Bororo hairstyle. My regular readers know how much I love experimenting with my hair. Anyway sha, I walked up to a neighbourhood hair salon and asked her to make this for me.

STATEMENT OF FACT

Hello Lovelies, it's a new week, the year is running to an end and there is the urge/rush to still make the year count. Many of us are still waiting for that big job, the long awaited proposal from him/her, that deal that will bring about the money to acquire that solar powered car, that awesome feeling of knowing we belong to someone special, and the list goes on.

While in the waiting room, it is necessary to look and act the part of that hardworking employee, perfect fiancee/fiance, cool person driving the cooler car or best partner ever. And in looking the part, simplicity and humility, slightly laced with some sense of style is key.

Which is why I want to introduce you to my silent but powerful friends; statement jewellery and accessories. They are the ones that give you that umph and command a second, third, well, even a fourth glance. You know how you leave the house knowing you will slay through out the day, and then someone compliments your outfit and you act all surprised like you didn't know you looked so good? Yeah, we all know the feeling.

I have done some looking around and I found a few statement accessories that drew me in and as usual, I thought to share.

PINK ACCORDION

Hello Lovelies! Hope the weekend was fun? Mine was; got to attend a wedding. Now, before you start thinking what's special about a wedding, I have a thing for weddings, just love seeing so many happy people at the same time in one place, for a good cause. Oh, and cos I love dressing up too.

FRIDAY FASHTITUDE : SHOE PORN

Hello Lovelies, hope you had a great week? The weekend is here, and what better way to celebrate the weekend than to engage in some healthy dose of shoe porn? I don't know about you, but I love me some shoessss, and I don't mind just staring at the pictures all day.

EXPRESS YOURSELF

Hello Lovelies, week going well so far I hope?

While I'm not a fan of labels being plastered all over clothes or accessories, especially when they are knock offs, a little dose of slogan or catchy phrases doesn't rub me the wrong way. 

  

PINK STAR UP FOR GRABS!

The worlds largest pink diamond will be up for your taking if you can afford it very soon ; 13th November to be exact. Great news yeah?! I know...

This rare beauty, which weighs a whooping 59.60 carats, is the largest internally flawless pink diamond that the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has ever graded.

SUNDAY OUTFIT INSPIRATION

I put this look together, seeing as tomorrow is Sunday, and a little inspiration might be needed to help someone out there. 

I chose this dress because  it's simple yet very classy without being inappropriate. Would have been fantastic for work because of its colour, but I think the bow makes it a little too dressy. 

DIY : BLACK TIPPED PUMPS

Hello lovelies, how's the weekend coming along? 

I decided to try my hand on a few DIY projects, one of which I want to share today.

This pair of shoes caught my fancy the day I got it, but I discovered I rarely wear it, and I think its cos of lack of care use, my precious shoe started falling part (to my total dismay). Hence the resolve to have a little facelift done for my pretty beauty.

PRINTS ATTACK

Hello lovelies, hope the holidays are rosy at your end, as it's at mine?

Often times when people talk about prints, the talk is only limited to animal and/or florals, but in the real sense, prints go way past just these few ones . I will talk about some other types of prints I know, and hopefully inspire you to try other types.

Enjoy

SOMETHING OLD

Hello Lovelies, trust you are well. Barka da Sallah to all my Muslim readers

One of the perks of moving is that you discover some things you didn't remember owning. I probably made this skirt like 3 or so years ago, but cant remember ever wearing it. I like to believe it's not just me who makes or buys clothes and don't wear them for a long time.

My French Connection snake fringe necklace is from Asos , sleeveless shirt same as here.

Enjoy the holidays guys!
