Mary Katrantzou for Topshop SS12

At only 28 years old, Mary Katrantzou is one of London's brightest talents and the person behind these impeccable designs and vibrant prints. She has recently partnered with Topshop to create a ten-piece capsule  with stand out pieces with dresses reminiscing porcelain vase. 

These pieces features structured dresses, slim pants and tops covered with prints. Being so obsessed with prints and florals, you could imagine how I felt when I saw these Topshop pieces. I have been in love with Mary Katrantzou's creations since her spring 2011 collection. What is there not to love!

The Topshop collection is set to hit selected stores on February 17th -- prices ranging from $63-$550

Here are a glimpse of her prior collections...

I am in love with the chaotic, unique, but yet thoughtful prints and fabric. It is hard not to love her creation.

Where it all started...

After arriving Lagos, Nigeria, I had to go to the East to visit some family members and friends. I was also planning to attend a wedding with my friend; but thanks to random delaying of flights, I didn't make it to the wedding on time. When I got to the wedding, it was pretty much over. At least I tried to honor the invite. Later in the evening, the young couples had a party for all their young friends, which I attended with my friend Kasie. It was fun seeing a lot of people that I have known since elementary school.

While in Enugu, I got introduced to 'Barcelos' waffle ice-cream, I became addicted especially since the weather is pretty hot. Now I am on the hunt for where to get one in Lagos. Thanks to my twitter follower, I am heading to Chocolate factory tomorrow :)

Outfit: Zara dress, Michael Kors watch, Sigerson Morrison gladiator sandals; Ray ban glasses, Aldo bag

With my friend Kasie at Barcelos

Have a nice day! 
For those coming to the "Bloggers Get Blushed Event" in Lagos today, can't wait to meet you all!

Weekend Recap

Zara pants, Asos Bag & Topshop shoes, Michael Kors Watch

My weekend started off well. Rested for the most part after working long hours on Friday. On Saturday, I attended a friend's wedding, which was beautiful. It is always great seeing so much love between two people. There was a lot of dancing and chatting with friends at the wedding. On Sunday, I went out with my friend for dinner, drinks, and catching up. Definitely a fun weekend. I wish it was a bit longer. 

 Anyway, how did you spend your weekend? Did you do anything diifferent or unusually? 

 Happy New Month! 

 Thanks for all your support! 

Lots of love,

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

The City...

QUICK BREAKFAST:


I was in New York the other day for fun and went shopping with my friend and blogger Adaku of ThirdWorldProfashional. It was nice catching up, having "girl talks", and walking around Manhattan. The funny part of the day was when we came across a photographer/paparazzi/stalker in Times Square who kept taking our pictures and did not give us a reason why he was taking the pictures or where they will be posted. Oh...did I mention that he seemed to be in love with my friend--- hilarious, I must say!

TIMES SQUARE: 

Friend Outfit: H&M blazer/tank; Topshop peg pants, Bill Blass bag, Dorothy Perkins  leopard flats

My weekend was definitely fun. Now, I am looking forward to my trip this week. Like I mentioned in previous post, I have planned a surprise for my hubby whose birthday is on Sunday. He knows of a travel plan but has NO idea where we are going. My only hint is...it is part of the Great Antilles.  :)

You can help him guess the location...

DETAILS:

Outfit: H&M dress, hat & glasses, Zara shirt, Aldo bag, shoes, rings: bakers/F21, Michael Kors Watch

Thanks for all you support!

Have a fabulous day!

Morange

I took these pictures at Niagara fall over the Easter weekend. I wore heels at first, but I later changed into my brogues to walk down the trail.   

I am in love the these shoes--so comfortable! I wish they have it in green or blue.

Did anyone watch the royal wedding? What are your thoughts?

Hope you all have a nice weekend!
