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.

Neon Pink

How is everyone doing today? The weather seems to be warming up here. Well, let me just say, it warms on somedays and then switches back to cold/freezing weather. I heard the weather is suppose to reach 70 degrees today, which is great for March here in Maryland. I seriously miss warm weather. I have had enough of the cold.

Anyway, I was meant to upload this post last night, but I was so tired after class. The funny thing is that while I was working on this post last night, I fell asleep right next to my laptop with my school books next to me until my alarm went off at 5am. I guess you can't cheat sleep sometimes. :)

Regarding this outfit, I wore this to my friend's surprise birthday game night for her finacee. I just wanted to go with something simple, but yet edgy by pairing my victoria's secret v-neck tank top. Adding the Zara skirt brought a bit of edginess & sexiness to the outfit. I love v-neck tees--it can always be dressed up or down.

Enjoy the rest of your day and 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!

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

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

Recap: 10-17-11

How is everyone doing? My weekend went by as quickly as possible; but on Saturday, I participated in my first relay marathon for a cause. With barely any training, I ran the last leg of the marathon relay. I ran about 7.3 miles in about 1 hours 15mins. I was so difficult to do; but after I have completed the race, I felt a big accomplishment.

Now that the race is over, I am still struggling with a stiff and aching muscle. My thighs and legs hurts so much especially when I get up or walk around after sitting down long time. It is funny that that despite the aching muscle, I still wore my heels to work today. In all, I am beyond proud to be involved in a cause towards breast cancer.

I encourage everyone to get involved in a cause that is dear to your heart. Since this month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, don't forget to donate or make contribution towards the fight for Breast Cancer.

Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Wear your pink and support Breast Cancer.

Metallic hues

How is everyone doing? I was in Atlanta for 3 days for a conference, which went well. I had the opportunity to network with different companies and students. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet up with some of my readers and bloggers from ATL. Hopefully, I will get another chance to meet them again.

Now that I am back to my reality, I have a bunch of assignments waiting for me. Thank goodness that I had today off from work to catch up, but I still had class tonight. I will be spending tonight finishing up on my study cases.

On another note, metallics are big for me this fall. I am in love with silver & gold metallics--there is something edgy and fun about those hues. I fell in love with the Zara metallic skirt and shoes once I saw it. I can get enough of the shoes as you can see from my previous outfit post here.

Stylishly yours...

Outfit: Zara pants, clutch, shoes; Nastygal cardigan; Michael Kors watch; earrings by Guinevere from Nordstrom

When I was putting this outfit together, I was thinking of a casual work Friday; this leads to happy hour and dinner with co-workers and friends. Colored pants are here to stay. We will be seeing lots of colored pants this fall. Instead of pairing these pants with bright colored blouses, pair them with warm and subtle fall colors like burgundy or navy.

Outfit: Zara pants, bag, blazer & shoes; YSL ring, Michael Kors watch; Hermes belt; 

... a great outfit for Fashion Night Out with girlfriends. Animal print is must-have for fall, but it doesn't mean you have to be covered in animal print from head-to-toe. Adding a black tee to the  outfit gives it a more relaxed look. Also, a blazer and orange belt add color to the outfit without being too "summer" bright. 

Outfit: Giuseppe-zanotti shoes, Chanel clutch, Asos romper, Bracelet--Kendra Scott from Nordstrom

For a date night, besides wanting to wear a cute short dress, you can also wear romper/playsuit. For example, the playsuit shown above has this sexy and classy appeal. For this outfit, the statement piece is the Giuseppe Zanotti wedge. Metallics are another trend to watch. They add an edge to an outfit without going overboard.

Have a wonderful Weekend!

Graffiti

How was everyone's weekend? My weekend started off greatly with a happy hour with my friends/coworkers. After some drinks and food, I headed off to celebrate with a friend of ours who was in town for Labor Day and also celebrated his wife's birthday.

Since this is Labor Day weekend here in the States, I am enjoying a long weekend. I pretty much slept in and enjoyed a mini BBQ with some friends that stopped over and squeezed in some studying and blog hopping :) 

The current shirt in the post is from Zara. For those that waited for Zara US online shopping, it is almost here. From  Sept. 7th you can shop online. Follow me on Facebook here because I will be sharing my Zara wish list ;)

Accessories: Gifted Necklace, Forever21 rings, Michael Kors Watch

I have had this bag for almost 4 years, but I have only used it twice. I can't even remember the online store where I got it from. :)

Wearing: Alexander Wang shoes

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. 

Have a lovely week ahead!
