Kelechi's 21st

 I went to Luton on Friday to attend my baby cousin's 1st birthday party. It was on Saturday (my birthday) so i slept over on Friday night to help with the party. I woke up to this cake, my cousin and her husband thoughtfully got for me. Double chocolate, yummy.

 Me and J-boy. He is such a cute and happy baby. Throughout my time in Luton, he didn't cry once.

My darling friend Dubem decided to host a dinner for me. I had no idea at the time it was meant to be a surprise. So she and my friend Marlene, got together and made a false Facebook event page for me whilst everyone was planning and scheming on another page without my knowledge. I kinda suspected something was going on because Marlene would get so flustered whenever I asked the most basic questions about the dinner. Anyway, the plan was for everyone to decline, but then show up and surprise me at the dinner. They were all replying with things like 'sorry cant make it, have a wedding to attend', 'i'm not gonna be in London this weekend sorry' only for my friend Idris (listen to his music here) to reply 'im off to Kazakhstan for the weekend' LOL really? Then I had this conversation with my friend in Nigeria. 

R: Hey babe, what are you doing on Saturday?

Me: Oh Dubem is hosting a dinner for me

R: How do you know about the dinner?

Me: She told me.

R: I thought it was supposed to be a surprise? well I guess plans changed.

Bingo!

I didn't say anything to anyone though because I thought it was so cute that they cared enough to make the effort and I didn't want to curb their enthusiasm. Regardless, it was an amazing day for me and Im so happy everyone took time out of their busy exam revision schedules to celebrate with me. I love all of you guys and I'm grateful to have friends like you. xxxx

  How fab is Ayotunde's Zara coat?

After the dinner we went off to Maddox club, but our party was way to big so my friends promoter decided to take us to this supposedly good club, he ended up taking us on a tour because he didn't have a clue where he was going and halfway through the 'tour' of Mayfair his phone (which he was using as a guide) stopped working. It's actually funny now, but then I not a happy bunny. Staggered to Anaya, music was shit, drinks were way unreasonably priced. Anaya club management if you just happen to be reading this post (because you know, have nothing better to do) FIRE YOUR DJ! scraps. I didn't let that ruin my night though. I had an amazing time.

My dress is from asos and my purse was a christmas gift from my family friend.

Beaded Blazer

This is what i wore to church on the first Sunday of the year. Uchechi was so nice to me and gifted me this  Chechi Arinze blazer. Paired it with my mum's bag and favourite pair of shoes from Zara. I'm back in London now :( it's so cold. No suya, no 'The Place' coconut rice and asun (peppered goat meat), no Ebeano sharwama, how shall one survive?

Kelechi's 'Whats in my bag'

Hi guys! sorry for the break. I am now back in Lagos to spend Christmas with my family. I left days before school closed so i had to rush my essays before leaving, speed shop and pack for Nigeria. Got to Lagos ready to blog, THE HEAT!! Like i don't even get it, it wasn't like this last year. To top it off i got an instant cold and i've been plagued with it for a week now. I didn't want to abandon the blog for too long so i decided to take a cue from my favourite youtubers and do a 'whats in my bag post'. An outfit post is totally out of the question as i am covered in mentholated dusting powder as I type because of heat rash. I loved this bag from the moment my mum bought it. Now many, many many years later she finally let me rock it. Cerrutti isn't popular in Lagos so people can't be like "OMG that bag is like soooo 10 years ago" (in annoying cool FM presenters' accent. u know now, that annoying 'I just got back from the states' accent)

I never really have much to put in my bag when I'm in Lagos, because I don't drive, work or school here. Most of them are just girlie things I can actually do without but that I've convinced myself I need.

Body Shop Lip Butter I love the body-shop's Chocomania collection. smells so yummy.

Boots almond body butter For moisturising on the go, as I have very dry skin and can't carry my big bottle of coco butter with me.

Lolita Lempika perfume Stole this from my mama. Love it. I'm usually a daisy by Marc Jacobs girl, but I've run out.

Dental Floss I never plan for  eBar's nkwobi. One must always be prepared.

Miss sporty lipstick in Malaga For touch ups. I don't have any other miss sporty thing, and i don't even think of them to be perfectly honest but I love this shade and it smells divine. Best lipstick scent of all time. 

Chanel eyeshadow set I use this as a mirror when I'm out. Hi look at me, I have a Chanel mirror, I'm fancy! ;)

Ted Baker Wallet Got this as a birthday present. Love.

Blackberry Charger My blackberry's battery is wack. enough said.

Oyster card and University ID Even though I don't need these in Lagos, I carry them about.

Blackberry Torch, iPod touch and iPhone5 My phones are obviously for communication; bbm, twitter, instagram etc and I'm always listening to music to ward off random people. They just like to talk to me for some reason. (iPhone not in photo because I was using it to take the pictures)

James Patterson's The 5th Horseman Haven't started yet but I adore James Patterson and I never know when I might have to wait for somebody or get stuck in 3hr Ozumba traffic.

Sunday Funday: At the National Army Museum.

Since we couldn't make it last Sunday, we decided  to go see the National Army Museum yesterday. It was absolutely freezing yesterday! The sun earlier in the day tricked me into thinking it would be another warm Sunday, so I decided to  throw on an outfit that was you know, not winter appropriate, got outside BOOOM! Antarctica. i couldn't even feel my fingers by the time i had walked to the station. Anyway we went to see the war horse exhibition. Quite interesting, definitely want to see the movie now as I wasn't interested in it, at the time it was showing in the cinemas.

I'm loving this new Sunday tradition I've started of going somewhere different and new.

they had crayons and cutouts of horses for kids to colour in and stick on the wall. Being a big kid I joined in. marlene was so not amused. lol

i found this funny, "by George age 10 from Chelsea. Not my best drawing =)"

apparently this is the skeleton of Napoleon's favourite horse, Marengo.

Shopping tip for short skirts; Try sitting with it on in the dressing room. This skirt made so much sense in the dressing room, but when I sit down in it goes up, way up and I can't tug it down easily because it isn't lycra or jersey. Another thing,  I'm strolling down the road, I look down and the side seam has moved to the front. Le worst.

No liquid or powder foundation just moisturiser, haven't worn any since september and my skin is rewarding me for it. 

@sloane square. getting so excited for christmas!

Sunday Funday: Saatchi Gallery

My friend and I were bored, so we decided to go see the exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery and the National Army museum. best decision ever! Had so much fun. Living in London, it's almost impossible to be bored, there are so many things to see and for free too! Chelsea was so beautiful, it's all done up with christmas lights, I almost wanted to burst out in Christmas carols at Sloane Square. . . almost.

Sex in the city - Gosha Ostretsov

High-rise on Raushkaya Embankment - Valery Koshlyakov

Marlene!

Dont you hate it when you ask a stranger to take your photo and they just snap away without telling you, you look stupid in that pose and then by the time you're looking over the photos, they're gone so you cant retake them? I mean they're strangers but come on!

Headed off to Starbucks for some nice peppermint tea.  Twinnings peppermint tea > Starbucks by the way.

We walked around and then finally headed home.  It was such a fun day, compared to what it would have been if we had stayed at home and just moaned about how bored we were! We didnt make it to the National Army Museum because we ran out of time but maybe next week. If you live in london, get off your bum and wonder about. You'll be amazed, there's SOOOO much to do and see. 

OOTD Sunday!!

Bubbly! Bubbly!!

Several weeks ago, my  friend Marlene wanted to check out Portobello Road Market, so I went along. Took her to Bubbleology (which is about 15mins from the market), to try some bubble tea for the first time. SHE HATED IT. She just wasn't feeling the nice chewy squishy squashiness of the tapioca balls. I on the other hand, had a blast!

 Pretty cupcake houses.

  They have branches in Soho, Knightsbridge and Notting Hill Gate!
