Urban Culture

Been feening for a snap back for the past couple of months, finally got one last weekend. I blame it on all the ratchet music I've been listening to lately. Honestly all i have to do is hear 'they ask me what i do and who i do it for' and I'm on my feet popping, my friends are getting worried.  Juicy j, 2chainz, Future......u name it, i love em all x_x.
 Anyway my friend just got back from America and she got me these really cute hi-tops, so i decided to christen them yesterday.
She sha gisted me about how she wore her's with a peplum top instead of the usual sporty stuff, tried it out with an ankara twist and i can't lie peeps where definitely all up in my grill because of this outfit! Coincidentally today is her birthday. all i want for my birthday is a big....HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAINAB!!! aka Zbaby aka Zee of Life!. luv Ya!

so Fresh and so Green

Green hasn't been one of my favorite colors for years but as i looked through my closet this morning, i realized that i actually have a lot of green clothes and accessories. Anyway I'm off to do some grocery shopping for this new workout and diet programme i'm starting on Monday. It's called INSANITY and i hear it's crazy! Need to get rid of my pouchy belly so i can rock dem cropped tops and show off this bod come april! Have any of you tried it? What where your results?

Happy New year guys!!! Anyway i decided not to make any New Year's resolutions this year, just going to work hard and pray harder. So my best friend was in town for a couple of days last month and I spent time hanging out in her hotel room, gossiping till like 1am in the morning and eating mountains of food,  planning her bridal shower and generally having a fab girly time..

Wore this ankara shirt for the 1st time and i got so many rave reviews i think i'll be wearing it far more often. Face is quite pale because i had no make up on except for clear lip gloss.

i love these shoes so much, they are so practical! They make my feet look tiny, plus they kinda give me some extra swag when i walking, lol.

Heat Wave

 I'm kinda obsessed with bib blouses right now. Anyway I'm off for another looong meeting. I ordinarily wouldn't wear something this transparent during the day but the heat in lagos has been terrible lately. Forgot my sunglasses at home yesterday and I almost cried. Meanwhile I'm getting quite bored of my hair, anyone know of any nice protective hairstyles that won't cause damage my hair?

Pins and Needles

I'm back! For the past couple of weeks I've been having a love affair with men's v-neck tees. They just seem to go with everything. Stole this one in the post from my brother eons ago but I never wear it as it just doesn't 'gauge'. So yesterday armed with a pair of scissors and pins I decided to reconstruct it. Hope you all like the end result as much as I do!

I know, I know  but couldn't think of a better title for this post, anyway

I've been sick for the past couple of days but I'm slowly getting better and I promise to put up more posts hope everyone is enjoying the English 'summer', Lord knows I'm not! My belt just wasn't tight enough and too thick to punch a hole in so I decided to tie it like a village housewife. Do not judge me.

My heart goes out to the families and friends of the 153+ that lost their lives in the Dana crash last week. Life is quite short lets make the most of it while we are still on this earth. Educate yourselves, read a book, open your eyes, go sky diving, help those in need, do something different, don't just exist, experience life!

Had soo much fun in the sun!!! London is so beautiful and fun when the sun is out, chilling in the park, icecream trucks, barbecues, swings and slides . . .it's all gloomy again le sigh*

Floor Sweeper

Hey guys recently found this gorgeous maxi, mermaid skirt at Mango, I just can't get over it! like i've styled it in a million different ways in my head already. Havn't been very impresssed with the Mango outlet  at The Palms. From their bleh colour palette to their ridiculous prices but i swear theyve redeemed themselves with this skirt!

paired it with this sheer ruffled blouse i got from kelz

Silver waist chain from Nibrands and these platorm RED shoes by Newlook completed the look.

You guys must be sick of this door by now, i promise to look for more interesting backgrounds for my outfit posts

It really helps to accentuate my figure too!

i actually forgot to take pitures in the morning before leaving for work, so i did this when i got home. 

Have a great week guys!

Short shorts

So a couple of sundays ago my mum and i decided to have a girls day out and we ended up at LPM, for some reason this post has been sitting in my drafts doing nothing. Anyway i didn't really buy much apart from a couple of accessories, jelly beans from cam cam sweets and the delish sweet kiwi yoghurt, i swear i could live on that yoghurt alone! Even though i didn't buy any clothes, i was really impressed by some of the designers especially Eclectic by Sasha.

i love the bracelet with the mock tooth makes me feel very earthy.

Probably searching for my keys

This beautiful crotchet mullet waistcoat from COLLECTIBLES has become one of my favorite items of clothing, i wear it almost every week!

My mum always gets me to do the wierdest poses when she acts as my photog. Slipons belong to kelz and are fromTOPSHOP

Made this ankara tote out of my mum's old scarf and now everyone wants one, even the boys!!!

bought this FAB tutankamen ring at the ENE MAYA STORE, i'm obsessed with egyptian history and architecture so i practically died when i saw this ring!

Buttoned up

I have a love - hate attitude towards the fact that i work Saturdays. Anyway this is what i wore to work yesterday. I've been loving the buttoned up look for a while now as it's a great way to show of statement necklaces.

I'm so fly! lol

paired my shirt with a denim skirt i had forgotten about till yesterday.

whenever i wear short stuff to work i always try to keep my top half covered up, although to be honest if i had known i'd be visiting Balogun market later in the day i'd have skipped the short skirt all together.

Caught up with kelz after work for a movie and drinks. We watched the movie Real Steel. It was AWESOME!!! and Hugh Jackman is such a Hotttie!
