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!

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.

Wearing: Zara skirt, Victoria's secret tee, Aldo shoes (old) and bag (similar here), Macy's necklace, Michael Kors watch

Enjoy the rest of your day and week!

It felt like spring

It might not be as warm as summer, but one of the days, it felt like spring. It was so warm that it felt unbelievable for such warmth in February here in Maryland. I had to quickly pretend like it was summer for a second (disclaimer: don't try this at home--it was a bit cold LOL). 

Where at thou, warm weather? I miss my summer outfits especially after being in Nigeria for nearly a month with sunlight and warmth.

Anyway, this is a short week for me because I was off on Monday. I am looking forward to the weekend already. I have a wedding to attend this weekend. What do I wear? Since I don't have the "Asoebi" (couple's uniform), I am thinking of wearing a long skirt or a capri type pants similar to this post here.

Outfit: Zara blouse, Forever 21 polka dot shots (from 5/6 yrs ago), Christian Louboutins, Michael Kors Rose Gold watch

I can barely stay awake...on that note, sweet dreams!

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 :)

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!

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!

Sunday Inspiration

With the first snow of the season yesterday, I can't help but continue to imagine spring: sunlights, prints, florals -- you name it!
I am currently inspired by prints, graphic prints, florals, emerald green and everything that screams spring. In my book, it is not too early to be inspired by spring...

Here are my current inspiration for today...

Inspired by Proenza Schouler spring/summer 2012 

 Have a lovely Sunday... 

Stay inspired...

Out In Lagos

Hey beautiful people! How is your day going? I am officially on my way back to the airport and heading back to the States. I had an awesome time here despite my flight being rescheduled due to the labor strike.  I went almost everywhere that I wanted to go to and all has been fun filled with interesting experiences. 

Went out with some family friends to the beach by Lekki in Lagos. They were also having some sort of a reunion thing for my friend's school: Covenant University. It was just nice setting with our friends and enjoying the company of the other visitors at the event.

Enjoying some nice Nigerian music ;)

With hubby at a  beach event

Hanging with friends Dr. Seyi & GF Ngozi -- amazing people :)

Outfit: American eagle shorts, H&M belt and poncho, Forever21 tank top, Aldo rosary necklace, Ray ban glasses, Michael Kors watch,

Lot of love...

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
