Strips & Prints

How is everyone doing this week? Hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend. 

Did you guys do anything special? 

For me, I really didn't have much celebration or anything special. After working on Saturday, I headed to Panera to meet with my study group since the school library closed earlier.  We spent Saturday working on two reports that are due in the coming week. Studying at Panera Bread this weekend, I am beginning to think that the store's marketing strategy is to intentional make the environment cold because it was so cold in there that we had to constantly consume coffee and soup. I don't know how many caramel latte and chicken noodle soup I consumed this weekend at Panera. Smh!

Then on Sunday, after the dancing and church fun, I picked up my bags and head to school again. This time, I had to divide my time between two groups. I met with my "Financial Statement" group before continuing the night with my "Strategic Management" group. Exhausted is an understatement on how I feel. The good news is that I have three more weeks of graduate school. :)

Don't forget you can catch up with me on Facebook here for more interactions. On my Facebook page, I post a lot items from current obsessions, items bought, or where to buy something that I love, editorial & street style inspirations. Also on my twitter here, I interact with all followers and I answer all questions that you may have right away.

Paisley bright

This week has been one of the longest weeks so far. From Saturday up until yesterday, I forgot what a good sleep felt like. If you are following me on Facebook or twitter, I mentioned that I had my exit exam for graduate school on Saturday. After the exam, I spent my whole day at the library with my case group. I thought spending long hours on Saturday or Sunday at the library was enough...Nope! I spent Monday after work at the library until almost 2am and I had to be up again at 5am. You should have seen my eyes. I looked like I got punched in the eyes LOL!

Anyway, glad that it is over for a second and I can try to get some rest this weekend. In a nutshell, I spent my weekend at the library. What did you guys do?

One good thing this week is that the weather is warming up. Since Monday, the weather has been feeling more like spring/summer--70 & 80 degrees. I couldn't be happier :)

Wearing: Jcrew pants (here), Jcrew shirt (here), Christian Louboutin shoes (here), Aldo bag (similar here) 

Accessories: Michael Kors watch (here), Rings from Forever21 & H&M, Bar II bracelet

Enjoy the rest of your week!

It felt like spring

It might not be as warm as summer, but one of the days, it felt like spring. It was so warm that it felt unbelievable for such warmth in February here in Maryland. I had to quickly pretend like it was summer for a second (disclaimer: don't try this at home--it was a bit cold LOL). 

Where at thou, warm weather? I miss my summer outfits especially after being in Nigeria for nearly a month with sunlight and warmth.

Anyway, this is a short week for me because I was off on Monday. I am looking forward to the weekend already. I have a wedding to attend this weekend. What do I wear? Since I don't have the "Asoebi" (couple's uniform), I am thinking of wearing a long skirt or a capri type pants similar to this post here.

Outfit: Zara blouse, Forever 21 polka dot shots (from 5/6 yrs ago), Christian Louboutins, Michael Kors Rose Gold watch

I can barely stay awake...on that note, sweet dreams!

Green + Polka Dots

Hello beautiful people! Happy Monday! How is everyone doing today? I feel so energized because I had a day off and got the opportunity to rest, sleep in and still finished majority of my school work--Amen to that :) 

This winter has been really mild for us here in Maryland. I hope I didn't jinx it. I can't wait for spring to begin. I am really looking forward to another vacation. I can't say how much I love traveling--something about airports, planes, and suitcases just cheers me up. Until then, I can keep looking at this beautiful picture of my dream vacation Bali on my Facebook page here :) 

Acting like an old couple with my friend/blogger Nife, while our amazing friend/photographer snapped away ;)

Outfit: H&M skirt & blouse, Christian Louboutin shoes, Vintage bag, MAC Rebel Lipstick

Accessories: Bracelets from Macy's & H&M Rings, Michael Kors Gold watch

Bloggers Get Blushed Event

While in Nigeria, I attended the Bloggers Get Blushed event in Lagos, which turned out to be great and fun. I honestly didn't know what to expect and at the same time, I was so nervous how people were going to receive me. Of course, being shy makes it even harder; but when I got there, I was beyond impressed. Nneka of Neks2u did a great job in organizing the event and Blush Beauty Salon was super beautiful--special thanks for having me :)

I had the opportunity of meeting other bloggers and Jadore-fashion readers. I was just overwhelmed and appreciative of all the readers' love and support. Words can barely describe how I was received. Thank you to all my amazing readers--LOVE YOU

It was nice to meet these lovely ladies Waila and Salewa

Some bloggers/attendants also got a "Blush" makeover too...

With bloggers & readers...

These two ladies were so nice--big supporters of this site--Thank you so much for the love xo

That's the organizer (Nneka) in the polka dot blouse on the right side :)

Outfit: Virgos Lounge shorts, H&M shirt & clutch, Christian Louboutin shoes, Michael kors watch, Macy's ring & bangle

Dinner With Friends

Prior to my departure and Christmas, I planned a dinner with friends to catch up since everyone has been so busy with work or school. Again, since I was traveling it was nice to reunite before the new year.

Love the decor of the restaurant: classy and chic!

Nice restaurant and great food!

Accessories: Michael Kors watch, Forever21 ring, Macys/Bar II bracelets

Currently blogging from Lagos, Nigeria--it is ridiculously warm. I am still trying to adjust to the 6 hours time difference. As I blog, it is currently 1am  3am here and I have to be up pretty early because I have a flight to the East coast to see family, friends, and for a wedding.

I was having second thoughts about this dress, but after some adjusting and convincing from my friend B and hubby, I decided to "work" it -- love Aqua clothes :)

With friends...

Outfit: Dress by Aqua; shoes: Christian Louboutins; Clutch: H&M

Hope everyone started their week off great! 

Are you ready for New Year? Any New Year's resolutions?
