Blue Sky

Hello loves! How is everyone's week been so far? I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day? I had a lovely Valentine's day though I spent three hours of my evening in a strategic management class. 

Earlier in the day, I got a surprise delivery from my hubby. I was so shocked when I got a call from him asking me to come outside at work. Initially, I thought he was kidding because he told me earlier that he was at work. When I got outside, he was actually standing there with 2 dozens of pink and red roses. I was blushing like a new bride :) Then my shy self, I had to carry the huge flowers back to my desk and everyone I passed screamed, "awwwww" :) The surprise and flowers definitely made my day--Love you babe!

On another note, did you guys watch the Grammys? Any favorite performer? I couldn't get enough of Adele--love her! I also enjoyed Bruno Mars and David Guetta. My least favorite performer was definitely Nicky Minaj. Her whole performance was just weird. 

Wearing a H&M necklace turned around

Outfit: H&M pants & blouse; Zara blazer, Aldo shoes & bag, Michael Kors watch, Rebecca Minkoff for Vogue glasses

Look out for the next giveaway coming before the end of the weekend...hint: It is red and round ;)

Love you all and thanks for always support me :)

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

Tribal Print

This week is going by so fast. This is my last week here and it looks like my flight will be delayed due to the prolonged labor strike. For now, I am crossing my fingers and hoping things get resolved.

In reference to my outfit, I have had the fabric for a while before deciding to make something with it. I decided to combine two different fabrics to create this short. Knowing the temperature here, it is hard to wear anything, but shorts - comfy.

Outfit: Self designed with African Ankara fabric, Forever21 tank top, Baker shoes, Express bracelet, Michael Kors watch, Vintage bag, Ray Ban glasses

Thanks for all your support & comments

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

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!
xoxo
