Sometimes in life, you get what you want… almost, but not quite. So while you’re appreciative of what you do get, you can’t shake off that feeling that it should have been better or more amazing; basically, just more! It’s not easy, but I’m learning to appreciate the life I live, while being hopeful for the kind of life I…
Forget the Little Black Dress (LBD), the Little White Dress (LWD) is the ‘IT’ item you need in your wardrobe. It’s the perfect wardrobe staple that’s super fresh, no-fuss and easy to switch up to suit your occasion. I absolutely love this ‘LWD’ for a combination of reasons; first, it has just enough hint of bohemian flavour, that makes it…
This post is an acknowledgment that life gets challenging sometimes, and you may feel lost in all the chaos and confusion it brings. You may lose yourself; at least in some part, and be left with a version of yourself that you don’t even recognize. (Cue in the song ‘She Used To Be Mine’ by Sara Bareilles). Here’s a reminder…
It’s been said time and time again that a basic white t-shirt (tee) is a wardrobe must-have for girls and guys alike, and I agree completely. Although, I must confess that I fully embraced my love for the white tee after I was left with a bunch of white tees after my NYSC program. The white tee is the perfect…
My life has come full circle once again and I’m completely grateful to God. In many ways, I feel like I’ve matured dramatically this past year, more than ever before. It’s not just about getting older; it’s about the new insights into my life and the kind of life I want to live that I’ve recently discovered. It definitely is…
The monochromatic trend has been around for so long, that it no longer feels like a trend. It has become one of those basic combinations that done right, can make you look classy, polished and sophisticated. It has become such a mainstay in fashion that it needs no introduction; it’s an easy go-to outfit that makes you stand out without…
I’m all of 5’4 (5 feet and 4 inches) in full height. I love my height and it’s perfect for me. Yep, I know I sound completely biased…sue me 🙂. Sometimes, I’m told I look taller, and other times, I’m told I look shorter. It really doesn’t matter at the end of the day; my height is my height and I…
Going to Lekki Arts and Crafts Market is something I had wanted to do for quite some time, but kept having issues with. After a few failed attempts, the most frustrating one being when my sisters, friend (Bolanle) and I were already in Lekki, but we lost our way, despite being in a cab and what Google maps was telling…
I can’t believe that it’s already been six months since I started my blog. It really doesn’t feel that long, to be honest and I still remember when it was just an idea. I’m glad I finally ignored all the excuses I kept making about why I shouldn’t, and eventually gave in and started. It’s been an interesting ride so…
Ankara is a bold print that has been identified with Africans for such a long time, that it has become increasingly difficult to separate it from the African culture. Unknown to most, the history of ankara can be traced back to the Dutch, who created the ankara print as a cheap imitation of Indonesian batik fabric sometime in the 19th…
