Color my Day

Hello Loviessss, Hope you had a nice and restful weekend? Mine was really fun; i went for my besties engagement/traditional marriage. I would do a special post on it as soon as i have all the pictures. My outfit for this post has been in my photo book and i almost forgot to post it. It was shot when i was rocking my bohemian curls. I just love the hair, very 'get up & go' - stress free.  Meanwhile who has been watching Scandal? Mehnnn Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) is one crazy chic; I don't think love like that truly exists. I hope this role doesn't get her into trouble in real life because i read online somewhere that before she got married, Michelle Obama banned her from coming to the White House. Apparently Mrs. O thinks she acts flirtatious around the Mr. President - The world's most powerful man. I love you Michelle O but errmmm i think you've been watching too many episodes of Scandal...LOL. That man has eyes for you and you only. I just started Seaso...

If i were a Nurse

Hello Loviessss, How are you all doing? I am so happy it's friday, it almost feels like i won the lottery :-D  Maybe the excitement is partly because i smell Christmas... *Dancing Skelewu*.  So i had this conversation a while ago with my colleagues and we were talking about what other career paths we would have chosen if we weren't in Consulting.  I thought to myself hmm... If i wasn't an HR Consultant, i'd be a Nurse or a Teacher...Well i am sort of a teacher at the moment because my core specialty is Learning & Development. But my soft spot really would be Nursing. After all, people tell me how nice and caring i am... Yimu ...Hahaha. Oh well i got the lovely caring and nice nature from my wonderful mummy dearest. She was a Nurse for years before she retired. I remember we never went to the hospital, all our medications, injections and drips were administered at home. In fact, we rarely fell ill. I don't know if this happens to you but as i get older, i see a l...

Twice as Nice

Hello Loviessss, So i was driving home this evening listening to Sinach's CD and just reflecting on this year and i am so thankful for all of God's blessings and favor.  Yipee its December finally, we made it...Wow i can honestly remember January like yesterday. I am smiling and so grateful to God because He has been true to me and nothing has questioned His integrity in my life. Some days are really tough to pull through but just when i think i can't go on anymore, he lifts the burden and i smile again. I am truly thankful Lord for keeping and always being there for me.  I couldn't stop giggling at the title of this post because i know my sisters would take cheap shots at me for using the name of a fashion retail store in Nigeria...lol. It was the first thing that came to mind jare... No vex . Sorry retail store owner, i couldn't think of any other title for this post and you all know how much i suck at fancy post titles...e.g tees & metals, Orange jungle etc.....

Fun Weekend Part 1

Hello Loviessss, So this weekend was really fun packed because my flat mate in Uni Di came in with her daughter fifi (my god daughter) from England and it was way too much fun. She told me she had heard so much about the lekki leisure lake and we decided that we would try it for our day out. I read about lekki leisure lake first on sisi yemmi's blog and i thought it looked like a really nice spot but i also assumed it would be on the outskirts of lekki; like towards Akodo beach resort.  To my greatest surprise, when i was reading her very detailed review and the map she put on her blog, i realized it was just by the 2nd roundabout in lekki. Literarily 2 minutes drive from my house. Seriously!!! 2 minutes and i've always wondered what to do on my free saturdays... smh shaking my head for my self...lol. Anyways, we had a late start to the day because it had rained earlier so we got there about 4ish. We also found out when we got there that Tiwa Savage's wedding was taking pl...

Quick Post

Hello Loviessss, So this is one really quick post.  I've had this in my draft for a bit but wasn't sure if i wanted this to be my denim on denim post; but since i haven't sorted out  finding better picture locations (not the awkward office boards...lol) or bribed some people more (you know ya sef yourselves) to take better pictures of me, i have to manage these ones i thought would never see the light of day. But no worries, i'll do a proper denim on denim post really soon. Anyways, have yourselves a fabulous friday and weekend ahead. Thanks for always reading lovies. xoxo.

The Greatest Gift

Hello Loviessss, How was your weekend? Mine was quiet, went to the gym on saturday morning then was in and out of sleep while watching Come Dine with Me :-) Had an amazing service in church and my Pastor preached on Love. He talked about how not showing love to one another or being bitter can hinder blessings, favor and healing in our lives. Sometimes, some messages have to be preached over and over again so they become a part of us. Anyways, i wore this outfit on thursday and as you can see, i am still rocking my protective weave.  I've had the cream floral top for over two years, and worn it just twice (Don't know why because it's such a pretty top). I think i styled it first with a pair of skinny jeans and in this post, i decided to dress it up a bit with a blazer and my blue PVC suede cap toe pumps. I ended up at Cafe Maison in Lekki Phase 1 for a meeting. It was my second time there and it was nice and quiet; the kind of environment i love having my after work meetings...

Dress Top & The Toll Gate

Hello Loviessss, How is your week coming? Mine has been pretty busy because I've been working on a project for next year and i am only able to get about 3-4 hours sleep most nights. Good bye to my beauty sleep for now :-( I woke up really late on monday and couldn't quite figure out what to wear so i settled for this part scarf print dress and i styled it as a top. I realized i have so many short dresses i've bought over time but haven't gotten round to wearing them in over a year; i have decided to wear them as tops. Saves me money sef :-)   Anyways i shut down about 6ish and headed for a short meeting/drinks with a friend at some really nice place in Victoria Island. I honestly don't remember what the place is called. I loved everything about the pool side. It had this calming ambience and trust me to beg for picture taking...hehe. To be honest, i dress up most days planning to do an outfit post but i don't really go to exciting places during the week because...
