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

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!

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.

2012 - MY MOMENTS

I would start by saying the year 2012 was a great year for me; there were happy moments, sad moments, moments I don't ever want to witness again and moments that I wish could last for ever. In all these, I am most of all grateful for being alive and well, grateful for my wonderful family, loving friends, and the faithful readers of this blog. As we step into the year 2013, I wish you all a prosperous new year with less drama, filled with love and all things excellent.

Here are some moments in 2012 that I am grateful for, these pictures show what I've been up to this year, and sheds a little more light into what I hope to achieve in the coming year. Enjoy scrolling through the moments of my 2012

This was what I had for dinner for several weeks, it was worth it. I hope to stay healthier in 2013

MTN LFDW 2012; MY TOP 10 LOOKS OFF THE RUNWAY

The MTN Lagos Fashion and Design Week has come and gone, and it was one of the most exciting weeks for me in a long time. I worked backstage, met so many interesting people, and in total had a really nice time. Spent all my time working beside my mentor and friend ,talented stylist Crystal Deroche, and it made the work easier and less stressful. In all the time I was at the event, I was too busy to take pictures of backstage work or even with the lovely people I met; it's a shame, I know.

Anyway, I am sure you have all seen runway pictures from the event, and if you haven't  you can still redeem yourself by checking here and here. There were so many lovely people, loads of buyers and international press; in my opinion it was a huge success. 

Now to the main post of the day, I decided to do a short compilation of the 10 looks off the runway that I really like and wouldn't mind having in my wardrobe :D. Here they are in no particular order

Alali Boutique

 I like this skirt because of its colour arrangement; its really sweet and not too loud plus the transparent bit at the bottom is simply naughty without being sinful. Love the top as well, the draped neck line is soo me
