THE DRESS CONVERSION

Hi lovelies, Happy New Year to you all. I know this is rather coming late but hey let's pretend the year just started all over again...smiles
Today's post, is just one of my random dress selections or better still pairing various clothing items together and making it your own. Gone are those days, when i worry about my dress being too short and i'll have to wear a stocking underneath just to fake it or make me feel better or comfortable. What if,you just want to rock your dress as it is, without bugging your head over your tush being exposed hmmmm my solution, my secret, pair another item of clothing with it. A pant, leggings or a skirt will do, Style it, own it and make yours oh YES.

I bought this beautiful pink wool dress from a vintage store, and it was just the perfect length, right above my knee.Plus,the details made me love it even more and the fact that i'll be the only one who has it, definitely made me buy it. I have a terrible habit thou, of tossing everything i buy newly in the washing machine before i wear it. If you're like me and you don't read care instructions, this is a warning.Imagine my surprise, when my perfect dress shrunk into the size of a top. I tugged at it, pulled it, but the deed was already done.
But, it didn't stop me of thinking of another option of styling it. I decided to wear a peplum hem skirt underneath to lengthen it and of course give it another look. Paired it with a pvc ankle boot and wore an ankle socks with it and there you have it. I hope you like it. Cheers

COOL BLUES

Hello lovelies been a while,sorry for the lack of post. I've been a little bit under the weather but thank God i'm getting better.  

Many at times,I have discovered i get to plan my outfit when i wake up for the day,that is when i start trying to put pieces together in my mind, how do i style this what do i style it with etc. This might not be very effective for someone  who can't easily make up their mind but it works for me as i make sure I have two outfit planned in my mind,just in case i end up not feeling one. This outfit is a result of one of my spontaneous put together looks.I hope you like it.

Cheers XOXO

STRIPES ON RED

Hi lovelies, London weather is definitely an unpredictable one one minutes its hot the next cold. I was happy with a lil flash of sunlight that showed today although not for long don't be fooled by the sun rays in the picture, it was very cold. Anyway i wore this outfit to my friend's surprise party and trust me she was very surprised and ended up busting into tears. Enough said I decided to pair this stripe jumper with a colored denim after all there's no rule to wearing colors in winter. Accessorised with a vailed beanie hat and i was good to go. 

Enjoy xoxo

THE AFRICAN UTOPIA EVENT 2014

Hi lovelies, the African Utopia event kicked off on the 11th of September, where people inspired by the rich Art, culture, designs, food and more from Africa came together as one. I found out late about it as i was preparing myself for London fashion week so i was a bit torn between which to attend. Anyway i ended up going for the Saturday event which show cased Africans on the runway and met some fantastic designers at the market place.

Enjoy xoxo

PINK & BLUES

Hi lovelies trust your day has been brilliant. I sincerely didn't want to put up this post, as all the pictures appear blurry. It was a rainy day and i almost didn't know if i was going to be able to do any shoot for the day,eventually the rain stopped and i decided to do a quick one but this ended up not so good. Anyway i hope the outfit is clear enough to be seen even though the face isn't. I decided to do a bit of color blocking and choose the black bag and belt to add a strong flare to the outfit. Have a good day guys

Cheers XOXO
