Pleated Flow

I have almost forgotten about this American Apparel skirt. The last time I wore it was almost 2 years ago in Canada. The funny thing is that I didn't even think about it until my husband mentioned. He was like, "Hey babe, let me guess, you haven't worn this skirt since Canada, right?" Ever since I turned one of the rooms into my messy closet, whenever he goes to my "closet," he shakes his head because he thinks I have way too many clothes and shoes that I forget about some of them. His jokes that he will start selling some clothes and shoes since I can barely remember I have them. Seriously, I might not even recognize until the day I suddenly want to wear it. LOL!

Anyway, the weather was a bit nice and sunny, so I had to dig out this skirt. Love the color and pleats. I also love my Zara bag because it has become my everyday bag. I can fit almost anything in the bag including my laptop and school needs. I call it my multi purpose bag. :)

What are your plans for the weekend?

Don't forget you can follow me on Facebook for more pictures, current obsessions and more interactions. You will not want to miss all other fun pictures and quotes--come interact with me more ;)

Outfit: American Apparel skirt, Forever21 denim shirt (similar here), Zara bag & shoes, Aldo bangles, Michael Kors watch, Rayban aviator glasses

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Shorts' season

Hope everyone is doing great. I am going to keep this post brief because as I am typing, I can barely keep my eyes open for so long--I barely had 3 hours sleep from last night. Therefore, I don't want to start rambling off key :)

It feels like the week just started and now the weekend is around the corner. In fact, I can't believe that March will be over this week. This means I am a month closer to my graduation and my birthday month :)

I wore this out to friend's birthday dinner at a restaurant in downtown Maryland called XS. Love the venue and any place that lets me eat waffle anytime of the day is a plus :) It was nice to get out after weeks of being a slave to my books and school. I almost forgot what fun times with friends felt like.

Wearing: Jcrew shorts, Forever21 denim shirt (similar here), H&M blazer, Zara shoes, Aldo bag, Michael kors watch

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Red Skinnies

Hello beautiful people...

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. I can't believe the weekend is almost here again. For some reason, I am really looking forward to the weekend because of the Grammys & red carpet styles even though I know that most of my weekend will be spent in the library. To compensate myself, I will be catching up on Gossip Girl, 90210 and also watching the Grammy red carpet; therefore, don't forget to follow me on twitter here because I will be tweeting about my opinion on the styles. Also NYFW starts next week; I can't wait to see what the designers has to offer :)

I know you are wondering if I have changed my hair style again...well, I haven't changed it yet. This picture was taken before I had my braids; but I never got around to post it -- never too late huh ;)

Outfit: Forever21 red skinny jeans  & blazer, H&M scarf & bag, Zara shirt, Aldo rosary necklace, Macy's & F21 rings, Michael Kors oxfords

Enjoy the rest of your week!

xoxo

A while ago...

Hello beautiful people... I am officially back to school for my last semester as a graduate student. Tonight was my second day; so far, things haven't picked up quite yet; but looking at my syllabus, it is going to be a busy semester. One thing for sure is that I am looking forward to May when I will be officially done with my MBA program.

I never got a chance to post these pictures before I travelled. This Zara harem pant has become my comfort and chic pant. I apologize if it seems you are seeing so much of these shoes in my posts -- a case when you suddenly discover shoes you have and haven't worn in a year :D

These shoes are a bargain; bought them 3 years ago for $15 from Bakers shoes...Thanks to my friend B!

Outfit: Zara pants, Forever 21 tank & blazer, H&M bag, Michael Kors watch, Bakers shoes

I have been awake since 4am today...my eyes are slowly closing and my bed is calling my name :)

Enjoy the rest of your week!

xoxo

Trend Alert: Spring/Summer 2012

Are you ready for spring? It is almost time to update your closet and put away the constant grey and black and embrace florals, neons and everything that comes with spring.

1. Graphic Prints: If you are tired and bored of your usual print like polka dots, plaids e.t.c, experiment with prints such as tribal prints,  artistic, modern, futuristic or abstract prints.

2. Peplum: Short flared ruffles that sits right on the waist: classy, elegant and a little bit of flirt! It can be worn in a skirt or top form. 

3. Floral Prints: You can wear floral prints with a solid color and if you are bold enough, you can mix two similar tone prints. 

4. Neon Colors: Think neon red, yellow, green, blue.... Find out what color work best for you.



5. Pastel Colors: Pastel hues reflects a sweet, ladylike & whimsical vibe

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hugs & kisses

Bucket Purse

Thank you all for the sweet comments from the last post. I am still in Nigeria enjoying my last week here. There is so much going on here today. Many people are protesting the removal of fuel [gas] subsidy--almost everything was shut down today including inbound and outbound flights within Nigeria.

The economy and standard of living is pretty bad and I continue to pray for the betterment of the country.

The outfit was taken while I was still in Enugu. I went out with my friends Kasie, Chukky, and Frank for the after party of the wedding, which was fun. I got to see a lot of friends and even some people from here in DMV area. What better way to rejoice with the new couple, old friends, chicken suya, and music.

I had to take these pictures prior to leaving because I didn't want to carry my bulky EOS Cannon Camera :)

Chilling with friend Kasie before the night began. She was my sidekick throughout my visit in Enugu, Nigeria...such a true friend since I met her in 2001

 Outfit: Express sequins shorts, Forever21 tank top, Topshop bag, Aldo shoes, Michael Kors watch, Macy bracelet

Have a lovely week ahead!

xoxo

Lady In Red

This is my first official post in 2012... :)

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday and the new year started off on a good note. I am still enjoying my visit here in Nigeria. It is a full house here because most family members from Canada and London are all in town; this means that the house is never dull. My husband's 20months old niece Maya is definitely entertaining everyone with her few words :) 

For this outfit, I decided to keep the accessories minimal. One thing some people fail to do is knowing when to go loud with accessories and when to keep it at a minimum.

On another note, being in Nigeria and driving through developed and undeveloped areas has brought a lot of happy & sad moments. One of the days that I was out with a friend, I came across this area seeing some overworked and malnourished kids brought tears to my eyes. I love that country, but I believe that a lot needs to be done and I plan in doing my own share; but it not what I can do alone. Lets make a difference please!

Outfit: Asos dress, Warehouse bag from Asos, Aldo shoes, Forever21 rings,  Mac Red lipstick by M.A.C


My husband & I! ;) When I told him that I was going to post the picture above, his response was, "Wow! I am making another debut on Jadore." He is a big joke star. LOL!

Have a wonderful week!
xoxo

So 2011...

This is the last day in 2011. I can't believe 2011 is over and a new year begins in a couple of hours. I can definitely say that this year has been good to myself and family. I am also grateful for the opportunities and partnerships from Jadore-Fashion.

I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU for reading, supporting, emailing, tweeting, and facebook-ing with me and all that revolves around Jadore-Fash3ion. The amount of love I get from everyone that visits my site is overwhelming and I sincerely appreciate you all. I hope 2012 brings us even more fun, great fashion ideas, and partnerships. Again, I hope in 2012, I get the opportunity to meet more of you because I have met some amazing people through blogging.

2011 is pretty much over...Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
xoxo

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?

xoxo
