Got the blues

I was going for a meeting and the sun was blazing so , so I decided to wear white hoping the white cotton would keep me cool. No such luck! As you can see I'm still going strong with my 'natural' hair. Pictures were taken by mum, who kept saying 'you're getting fat' #FashionPolice LOL

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!

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!

DIY : Black ruffle Bib Necklace

. I dont know if you guys know what has been going on in Nigeria, but we've had a nation wide strike since Monday protesting the removal of Fuel subsidy(i.e fuel prices have practically doubled). I've been going crazy with boredom as i havnt been allowed to join the protests.
Decided to do my 1st DIY project of the year and it turned out FAB! I can't wait to rock it with a pristine white shirt

the pleated chiffon ruffle i used was gotten from the collar of my mum's old shirt but you can find similar materials at your local haberdashery

once you've attached the ruffle to the ribbon you can procede to sew or glue on stones, bows and buttons  with reckless abandon :D

Check it out!!!!!

I'm Back

Hey guys so sorry i've been MIA for this long, some unknown person (i have my suspicions) dropped my laptop on the 1st day of Arise Fashion Week and it took a while to get it fixed.
So much has happened since i was here last, i worked as an intern/assistant during the fashion week which was totally fun, i got to meet soo many cool people and some not so cool people(bt we'l leave that one for another day). Had a realy FAB idea for a post about AMFW but it's been so long it's kinda out of context now so i'll just put up a couple of pictures of things/people that caught my eye during the fashion week.




Day 1

some of the interns i worked with, tosin, moi, choima n ala

                                                            Day 2
Forgot my camera at home today, felt like killing myself because JBL and Ituen Basi showcased their designs but i couldn't get any pictures! :(

Day 3

The sun was hot, hence the frown

yea i ddn't really get the idea behind the socks and mandals combo either

              the guy on the left was one of the models, he had no less than 4 facial peircings! had to take his picture

      Met this girl there, LOVE her skirt and her neck piece. i tink her name is tolu not really sure. Aaaanyway she has a fashion website with her friend (kike i think) and for some reason i can't seem to remember the name. so if you happen to know what it's called please write the link in my comments thanks!

                                                

                                  closer look at her necklace, bEAUtiful!

this is Dolapo, she's into fashion P.R.....i think. anyway she was really cool and friendly don't you just love her necklace?

Day 4

   This is busayo, love what she did to her hair with the ankara head wrap

                                                    This is Nina!

                         This is thelma one of my 'co-interns' she's too cute!

one thing i love about working in fashion you can wear almost anything and nobody even bats an eyelid e.g my white high waisted shorts.

Was bored and decided to drag my friends zainab and itunu down to mine for an impromptu amature fashion shoot in some of my creations. Here are a couple of pictures

Been busy busy working on lots of different stuff, more later! 

made this for one of my youngest clients, she's 16 and a bit of a tomboy and she's trying to mix her style up a little.

i'm guessing she could wear the top with jeans and then the skirt with a black top.

                                              

Made by Me

Hi guys, i'm in a bit of a hurry as i'm working on a little project for 'the mentor' but these are a couple of pictures of one of the draped skirts i made, more pictures of the others later.

I wore it on saturday, pictures courtsey Issey.

This is my favorite picture because it's timeless, it looks like it could have even been taken in the 70's

Love the touch of rock the black shoe boots and the lace top gives the look.

This is the back i was feeling very  'Calatrava-ish' with myself.

Lace Top- Internacionale
Silk Draped skirt- Eznira
Bag- Aldo
Shoes- Atmosphere
White Gold Ring- Mamma Eznira

Decided to keep my hair natural for now, seeing as i actually have a whole lot of it!!!!

P.S Arise Fashion Week begins on thursday!!! I'm sooo excited. Been thinking it won't be a bad idea to work as an intern behind the scenes.....will let you guys know how that goes.
