Accessories to the Rescue

Hello Loviesssss, 

Happy children's day to all the wonderful children out there. I got this very funny broadcast on my blackberry this morning and i couldn't stop laughing; " If you are over 30 years and living with your parents and still eating their food, happy children's day to you"- hahahaaha.
I am someone's child o and i don't know why i have to be in the office today; not fair at all *Sad face*

So this weekend wasn't even funny at all, i spent saturday looking for sheri mangoes to buy. Anyone who knows me would tell you about my love for that particular type of mango.  I sent Adamu the security man to Oniru market and further down sef and he couldn't get. I cannot be begin to explain the sadness i felt. What would it cost them to just sell sheri mangoes ehn? I have gone to the extent of making an appointment for this evening with two mango sellers so wish me luck... Hahahahaha. Yes i know i am crazy... LOL. Abi Is it a crime for someone to love sheri mangoes as much as i do?







Anyways i decided to tidy my closet on saturday evening and i found this fabric; an aso-ebi (A tradition in Africa where the family celebrating chooses a fabric to be worn by everyone at the function). I was supposed to wear it for a friend's father's funeral over 1 year ago but i travelled then so the fabric had been lying in my closet. I was hoping to do some sura the tailor moves but as i sat on my bed watching Come Dine With Me, i knew sewing anything that night would be in my dreams. 
So i decided there and then that i would just tie the Iro/wrapper on a nice top and jazz it up with some accessories.



Black Chiffon Top with Lace Detail: River Island
Ankara Fabric: Elegance veritable wax
Neck Piece: Accessorize
Wristwatch: MK
Bag: Vivienne Westwood (Old)
Red Suede Shoes: Autograph-Marks & Spencer (Old)

The Pencil Work Dress Inspiration

Hello Loviesssss, I got an email from one of my dear readers asking me to do a post on how to wear the pencil dress to work without a blazer and also how to incorporate colors to it. Well i've put together ten looks, jazzing it up a little :-) Remember, this is just a guide; you can style it differently by toning it down if your office isn't too liberal with colors. What do you think? Thanks for always reading. xoxo.

Fun Day Out.

Hello Loviessss, Hope you all had a splendid weekend? Well mine was pretty interesting. I was nursing a flu early/mid week but felt better by friday. I guess my motivation to recover quickly was the  amazing deal  Berrydakara ,  bexcoox & i (The Power Puff Girls) got at Spa Solazz in Victoria Island for a Massage, Facials & Pedicure. Anyways we met up at Berry's at 11.30 am and just generally played around for about 30 minutes before setting out. We had to go without make up because we were going to get facials.  Well below are the pictures from the day out.

We Love Blazer Dresses

Hello Loviessss, Today we will be blogging about one of fashions favorite; The Blazer Dress. This is one trend that originated from the menswear fashion and like most of the trends from the men, its ever so stylish.  Like is said in one of my previous post "BOY MEETS GIRL" Menswear dressing isn’t for everyone, and designers have offered alternatives for those that want to get on board the trend without sacrificing their femininity.  From Kim K, Chrissy Teigen, Miley Cyrus to Gywneth Paltrow, all have been seen spotting the blazer dress.  For the purpose of this post, I have categorized them into four parts. - The really short blazer dress - Worn alone - Floral, print or sequin long blazers - Worn over short dresses - The stylish blazer dresses -  Has a touch of femininity, asymmetrical & usually cinched around the waist for definition. - Structured Blazer Dresses - Usually longer in length, structured but still retains the blazer lapel.
