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!

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!

Aqua Maxi skirt

How is everyone doing? I feel like I have been MIA for a bit. I sincerely apologize for the lack of outfit post. Honestly, school is getting crazy and mixing full time student with full time work can't be any crazier; but I am hanging it there until May to walk down that stage :) Thank you all for understanding and also for the encouraging emails that I constantly receive. 

I am not sure if you want to hear about my weekend because it is nothing, but school work. If you follow me on Facebook, you would have seen a picture of my Sunday activity, which included books, pen, and highlight marker. Check it out here :)

On Saturday, I got a breathing space to get my nails done. I feel like I spent most of my Saturday afternoon/evening at the nail salon. By the time I got home, all I could do was eat and study. Then on Sunday after church service, I had to meet up with my group for further studying session.

On another note, remember the wedding I told you guys about in my last outfit post, this is what I wore. I was trying to decide between wearing this skirt or an ankle pants. I can't explain how cold it was on that day. It was freezing cold and windy at the same time. The wind was practically pushing me as I walked into the church for the wedding. Besides the ridiculous weather, the wedding was great.

Wearing: AquabyAqua skirt (similiar here); Zara shoes (here), H&M lace top (old), H&M clutch

Accessories: Forever21 ring, Macy's necklace & bracelet, Michael Kors Gold watch (similar here)

Let me hear from you all...What did you do over the weekend?

Thanks all for you understanding and support!

Can't forget a clear band Michael Kors. As you can see, I get my inspiration from almost anything.

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

Airport Ready

I am currently at my next stop Houston waiting on my delayed flight to Nigeria. I am already tired even though I still have about 11 hours again to go. At the moment, I will keep blogging, browsing, and eating ;)

On another note, when it comes to traveling, it doesn't mean you have to compromise your style. There are ways to travel in style and still look stylish, comfortable, and chic. For me, traveling doesn't mean sweat pants. 

On some occasions, I love traveling in heels, wedges or flats, but at the same time, I still keep it comfortable. Like today, I went with my Zara brogues, black ankle denim pants, a simple v-neck white shirt from Forever21, Zara Mustard blazer and my H&M leopard scarf &amp and hat. I always travel with a scarf--it is like my comfort blanket. Again, I always wear or have a hat to camouflage my messy hair after a long flight like this one :)

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas holiday and you got all or most items on your wish list.
I hope to get my internet working asap to be able to blog again before the end of the week because I have a lot of pictures from my Christmas dinner to Christmas outfit to post :)

xoxo

High-Waisted

How is everyone doing? This has been a busy week for me - spending about 10hours each day at work. When I get home, all I want to do is eat and sleep and occasionally, I sneak in a bit of browsing and blog hopping.



The weekend is almost here and my plan for this weekend is to get school supplies and also squeeze in some photoshoot for the blog. I can't believe the summer is almost over; but I am ready for fall and all the great styling that comes with it. ;)

I am wearing H&M high-waisted wide-leg pants, leopard shirt, and Zara pumps & belt.

Aldo clutch, Michael Kors watch, Forever21 rings

I think I will do another Q&A post. Please leave any question(s) that you want me to answer. I will be collecting questions in each post until Wednesday.

PS: Thank you all for your sweet comments

All of the Lights

I took these pictures some weekends ago when I organized a friend's surprise birthday dinner. It was a nice event. The birthday girl was a bit suspicious about the surprise; but at the end, what mattered was the fun filled dinner with a small group of her close friends.



I love the scenery of where the restaurant is located. From our table, we could see the city lights and water. Definitely a great restaurant - awesome view.

Wearing H&M shorts and shirt; Asos envelope bag, bracelet: Flea market

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

TREND: Suit Up

Yes, ladies! It is okay to suit up. Embrace your masculine touch by dressing up in a suit. Suits are not meant only for job interviews or board meetings, they can be shortened or dressed in a sexy but classy way.

The best part of this redefined suit version is that is can be worn in so many ways from casual to sexy and classy. For a casual look, simply throw on pair of blazer, a white v-neck tee and a relaxed trouser or shorts paired with heels or even a sneaker/converse.

On the other hand, you can added a touch of color. Suits are not just meant for dark shades of color like black or gray, but can also be bright colors like yellow and orange. Remember to find a color that suits your skin tone.

Have a wonderful weekend!

xoxo

Maximize the slit

Slits are making a comeback and the trend can be observed at the moment from runways to red carpets. When I was thirteen, I was all about maxi skirt with slits on both sides; fast forward to 2011,  I wore my Zara slit dress for a night out with my hubby. This dress can be worn casually with flats and you have the option of dressing up like I did....

Accessories: bracelet & ring by Forever 21, Michael Kors watch

Topshop shoes

Hope everyone is having an awesome week--the weekend is just around the corner--Yayyy!

Thanks for all you love!

Big hug & kisses
