Back again with another post sharing my skincare and beauty empties, sharing whether I love them enough to repurchase. This is a series I do whenever I have a bunch of products I just finished. In a bid to share an accurate well rounded testimony on these products, I always get them to the last use.
Now I understand a bit better how the skin works, I cannot go two weeks at most without exfoliating my skin. Initially, I thought exfoliating regularly damages the skin, but with more knowledge on how it effectively improves the skin, I am happy to exfoliate every other day.
With Spring comes lots of events and the decision as to what to wear. Whether you are going for a brunch, birthday celebration, wedding, baby showers etc light, airy and flowy is the ultimate choice.
Without a doubt my go to outfits are tonal looks because they are effortless, chic and easy to style. Although I love a good print, there is something refreshing about a monochrome look.
If you have been on the fence on whether a nighttime skincare routine is necessary or not, keep on reading. With so many beauty products/brands out there, it can confusing as to whether you need a separate night routine. Some feel that may be aiding consumerism.
When you consider wardrobe classics, a white shirt is definitely one of them. It’s a piece that fits into whatever wardrobe irrespective of your personal style. Although oversized shirts are my favorites, I picked this one because of the eyelet. Eyelets in whites are one of the best fabric combinations for Spring Summer.
This may sound ironic coming from someone who doesn’t have existing acne. However, I used to have persistent acne and the last time I saw an active one is about 3 years ago. These are the things I did and continuously do to treat or prevent acne and acne scars.
I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t own a pair of denim, whether that is in a form of a trouser, shirt, skirt dress or accessory. You can never go wrong with any Spring outfit that has a demin flair to it. Denim is classic, it’s vintage, and contemporary because it’s a fashion piece that is ever evolving
You must have heard about skincare-infused makeup. If you haven’t, they are currently the buzz right now in the beauty industry, and I will tell you why. Some may think it’s just trend that will quickly go away like clean girl era or mob wife aesthetic. I think, the skincare-infused era is a start of something that is here to stay, and I am loving it so far.
If you are an impulsive shopper this article is for you. Are there times that you shop for clothes and you still have nothing to wear because they don’t fit your personal style? This is not unusual as we constantly shop without factoring what we need and what we don’t need. I am also talking to myself as I shop out of excitement not out of need.
My beauty counter keeps expanding, and getting to try new makeup products seems like a child in a candy shop. I love swatching palettes and lip products. As Spring approaches, the excitement that comes with wearing more makeup and going out, feels good.
As a beauty blogger, I am lucky to get sent PR makeup products, especially newly launched items to try out and this time around, Smashbox sent over their Halo Sculpt + Glow face palettes and Always on liquid lipstick.
Spring is here and there is no rush to start buying new items just yet. You can put together some easy looks from your existing wardrobe. It is also a time where people tend to start wearing more colors. The brighter the weather, the urge to wear more fun colorful looks.
There is saying as to what a good Spring outfit entails. However, there are definitely some looks that would pass the test as to what a Spring outfit should look like and if you are someone like me that loves to wear colors, or you absolutely don’t, but would love to wear more colors this Spring, then keep on reading.
As complex as the word hyperpigmentation sounds, it is a common skincare concern that most, if not everyone suffers from. Whether yours is from acne, sun burn or scarring, it is a skincare problem that 99% of people deal with in both sex.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing easy ways to avoid and treat hyperpigmentation.
Finally, we can start visualizing Spring which is right around the corner. This year, winter did too much so that I could barely enjoy my winter clothes, or activities and now I am ready to start switching things up.
Would you agree if I told you don’t need a foundation or concealer for an everyday makeup look? Well, yes you absolutely don’t especially when you consider having to wear them everyday for long periods of hours.
Except your work requires you to have full beat for photoshoots, on screen events and such, you can totally pull of a makeup look with little to no product and here is how.
This is a blog series I started back in December, where I share my empty skincare products and chat about whether I will be repurchasing them or not. This time around, I have some interesting products that I will not even recommend buying and some I will definitely recommend buying.
Styling skirts during winter seems to be my favorite looks. Faux leather pleated skirts are on the high right now and wearing them through winter and into spring, makes you look very stylish. I would alway say if you can style a skirt effectively in colder months, then you must be a stylish individual. It takes applied intentionality to style a skirt, especially in winter season.
I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t wear accessories. Accessories could be jewelries, handbags or even makeup; but in this article, we will be chatting about jewelries.
Earrings, bracelets and necklaces are great styling tools that everyone needs. They elevate any simple look, as simple as a plain white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. From hoops to pin earrings, they make a whole difference. My jewelry trays comprises of pieces from Baublebar, Etikka and Kate Spade.
When I started off my skincare journey, using an eye cream was not the focal point. I was more geared towards moisturizers and serums. Now, I have expanded my skincare routine to include eye creams and some people don’t still see the need to use an eye cream. On today’s blog post, I will be sharing different reasons why using an eye cream is an important step to include in your routine.
Wearing and styling prints have always been my thing. I love beautiful prints and I think it stems from being a Nigerian. We love bold beautiful prints, prints that depict color, richness and flamboyance. Leopard prints defines everything bold and audacious.
Animal prints can fit into any closet especially a neutral capsule wardrobe or a maximalist who loves prints. They act as a little bit of spice, to enhance a closet. I added this leopard suiting to my closet. It is from New York and Company and it fits into my closet perfectly. It adds an eye catching element to my wardrobe, while maintaining a neutral character. I can style it in different ways by wearing the blazer on it’s own with a plain black or brown pants and the pants with an oversized white shirt.
Now, we find ourselves in a world full of beauty products, it can be tempting to want it all, buy it all or use it all. While you can’t buy and use it all, you may still find yourself consuming quite a lot of makeup products, including myself. There are ways to have a lot of beauty products, but still simplify your makeup routine.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing ways in which you can create a simple makeup routine that you can stick to over time.
Today is my birthday, and turning 35 is very exciting. After a busy festive season, I decided to do something more relaxing to celebrate my birthday, and choosing Omni Oklahoma City was perfect.
We have freezing temperatures, which made it better for indoor activities. I spent the first night with my husband, while our boys stayed home with our nephew. The next morning being Saturday, they came over to join us. We kicked off the day with a delicious spread of Breakfast served by Seltzer’s. I wanted room service so we could better relax and not rush in out and about the hotel lobby. My boys were so excited as though it was their birthday haha.
We are now in the middle of winter, with a cold breeze that leaves the skin dry, cracked and flaky. Not the best time for any skin, especially those with dry skin like me, that is why I have mastered the art of layering my body care products to the point I look like a glazed donut haha, but hey my skin won’t look extremely dry.
Lately, I have been enjoying some Ysl makeup products and I won’t lie, I love them especially their Quad eyeshadow palettes and lip sticks. If you keep up with my blog articles, you must have read about a post where I asked if luxury makeup products are worth having. At this point, they are totally worth every hype and more.
Cable knit wears are chunky, they give a bulky style, perfect for winter. They are also very stylish, making them to stand out without having to make additional effort. I love cable knit cardigans because they are very cozy. Their chunky knitted technique provides classic and timeless look.
It’s been a relaxing yet busy past weeks for me, especially having to spend it with my family and close friends and I hope you all are doing the same too!
Imagine walking into a room full of people wearing all reds and greens for a holiday party, they will all look alike even though they look fabulous. One thing about standing out, is dressing differently, especially when it has to do with traditional holiday colors.
It just makes me so happy knowing that the holiday season is here, and with that, comes all the fun makeup looks for the festive parties. Lancome makeup products have graced my vanity since last year and I am not mad about it. This year, I got to try even more of their beauty products which I am thrilled to share with you all.
Every season comes with a color trend. A shade that sets the tone for the season, and this time, one of the colors is Red. Not just any shade, but one that is bold, bright and beautiful. Whether you decide to incorporate this bold red color into your style by opting for a lipstick or an accessory, it is how you wear it that matters most.
Whether you are into the luxury beauty space or not, once you get your hands on one Chanel makeup product, you will definitely want more. The true question is; Do they actually do the work?
Recently, I started this thing where I share my empty bottles or containers of skincare and bodycare products that I have used. It gives me an idea of how much I loved using a product, if and whether I will be repurchasing it.
If you are into either makeup or skincare, or even both, you will understand that there are benefits to having a skincare infused makeup especially if you wear lots of makeup.
When it comes to sweater dresses, I consider them to be one the easiest pieces to style for Fall and into Winter. Their basic characteristics make them wearable for all kinds of occasions.
Both beauty worlds have incorporated the minimalist and maximalist terms into their routines. Consumers are beginning to identify themselves with either of them.
Red is one of the trending colors as a Fall fashion trend. It is a common color yet very daring to wear or style One of the best ways to incorporate this color trend, is by styling it in a classic way.
Denim is a classic look and almost everyone has a piece of denim clothing in their closet. It serves as a great styling base against a red color.
While you have heard about a skincare or beauty fridge from social media or at best, one of your skincare creators. The real question is; is it necessary to have one?
I am sure you have a refrigerator in your kitchen, or a mini room fridge to store your drinks or snacks for easy reach, but is it necessary to have one for your skincare products? The answer is, they are not necessary, which may also depend on your lifestyle. I have also sold the idea of having a skin care fridge and some of you bought the idea for various reasons. Someone said to store their fragrances, some needed to know how mine worked and if it was worth having.
Clean skincare and makeup, is the center of most beauty brands right now. Consumers are clamoring to get their hands on what they believe is a clean option, when comes to beauty products and Pacifica Beauty is not far from it. I have been using this brand for well over three months now, and I can say they are truly clean.
There is something about styling a bold red dress for Fall. Dresses and skirts are usually very interesting to style for the colder months, because they look more stylish than a typical jeans and sweater look. It takes a little more effort to pull a well curated dress look for Fall, especially if boots are in involved.
It may look simple to me, but I still have people asking how I achieve my full brow look. This step has been one of the most freeing and easy tips I use when I want full brushed up brows. First, I have natural full brows, which is a plus for me. If however you don’t, keep reading as I will share some tips for you.
Yes winter is coming. Fall is here, so will Winter gradually come and with that, comes drier skin. If you already have dry skin, you know that Fall Winter is the time to really up your body care products when it comes to keeping your skin deeply moisturized and hydrated.
We have officially marked the beginning of Fall and with that, comes new trends to try out for the season. The 2023 Fall fashion trends are being debuted on runways, and I have been watching what brands are putting out. Here are some of my picks to try out this season.
It’s interesting how these pieces can fit into any and everyone’s wardrobe irrespective of your personal style. As someone who doesn’t jump on trends, I still love when trends already/can exist in my wardrobe.
The no foundation look has been, will I say trending for a while now? the minimal makeup look where less is more. This time around, I am taking it up the notch with Fall makeup looks. With Fall comes deeper tones and hues hence the burgundy, berries and deep purples.
Building your Fall wardrobe, and curating your pieces to best serve your style is as important as how well you style them. Although we are almost head deep into Fall, there are some basic pieces you absolutely need to build your Fall wardrobe for the season and into Winter.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing five items that everyone needs in their Fall collection, irrespective of personal style.
Although we are gearing up for Fall, I still have some last minute Summer looks too share, especially for those warm days were I have been brunching and lunching with my family. This year, Summer was extremely hot that I barely enjoyed the activities Summer had to offer; and now Fall is about to start, it feels like I didn’t get the best of my Summer wardrobe.
However, as a cheat code, I still get to enjoy some Summer looks on a trip I have planned. I will get to extend the wear factor on my Summer wardrobe.
I have finally found a set night time skincare routine. I never really had a fixed night routine except for product switches; examples are omitting sunscreen at night, using retinol and AHA based products as well as overnight sleeping mask. These skincare products are significantly for night time.
Holding on to what seems to be the last days of Summer. I am styling some outfits that can be worn in between a warm summer day and a cool Fall morning. Getting those Fall transition looks while it’s still warm out there, can be a little confusing. You find yourself stuck between wearing lighter layers and warmer layers.
As we approach the Fall/Winter season, it is apparent that the weather will gradually change or in some instance drastically change. The cooler the temperature, the drier the weather becomes, which in turn affect the skin. This cuts across all skin types, whether you have dry, oil y or combination skin. Hence, the change in weather conditions, will definitely bring some sort of adjustments to your skincare routine.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but Fall is around the corner. In fact, Fall is here with all the fashion that it brings. While I sadly but happily leave Summer behind, I am happy to get some cooler temperatures that comes with exciting fashion. Don’t get me wrong, I love Summer fashion, but what happens when the weather is so hot and uncomfortable that you can barely even wear your fun clothes.
A well deserved and relaxed time doesn’t always have to be in the four corners of an actual Spa. You can create a luxurious Spa moment for yourself in your home. All you need is the right tool and a nook to create that self-care experience at home.
Whether we admit it or not, 2020 was a turning point for almost everyone including myself. Things shifted from social interactions to islolation and becoming home bodies. Before that year, I was out frequently to get my hair and nails done. I always looked forward to a relaxing mani pedi day at the nail saloon (which I still do). Things gradually changed after that.
Sometimes we pay a little more for a brand and not necessarily because they are worth the price. This also applies to almost everything in life as well as luxury makeup and skincare.
Spending more on a service or product generally gives the impression of a better quality even when they are not the best in most cases.
When you consider neutral colors, muted shades are part of it. Most people who are into neutrals ie whites, tans and black, don’t think that colorful muted shades are neutrals. They lean more to the whites than they would to pastels.
Muted colors are the opposite of bright and vivid colors. They are made of subtle shades like soft lilacs, butter yellow, powder/pale blue. In case you are wondering, any color can be muted by being dulled or greyed. No matter how bright a color is, once you mix it with grey, they become muted.
You may be thinking you are doing your skincare right until you realize you got it all wrong. Yes I have been there, times where I did my skincare routine wrong, applied a right product at the wrong time and vice versa.
My skin has been on a journey for a long time now and I am happy to say I have found what works for me and my skin. Back then, I thought I was doing things right until I hit the jackpot when I found some products my skin loves and since then, I have not looked back.
White looks are very interesting to style. You need a little more technique to style them otherwise you may come off looking uniform and basic. I love a good colorful outfit, but an all white outfit does it too. While it is not as exciting like the other colors, they are particularly striking for both men and women.
Lately I have been using more water-based makeup products and let me just say I think I prefer them over silicone based. They have a light weight texture which makes your skin look fresher and youthful.
Generally, water based products are ideal for people with dry and sensitive skin. I have dry skin and I think it works great for my skin. However, if you are wanting some more on the subtle or lightweight makeup look, water based products are also ideal for you regardless of your skin type.
Fall is one of the best fashionable seasons in the year, where we see the best outer wears from cardigans, sweaters, blazers and coats.
While these pieces are enticing to have in your Fall wardrobe, it is best to do it sustainably and by this I mean from online second-hand pieces to thrift shopping, swapping with friends and family etc.
Summer may be gradually coming to an end, but I am sure some of you still have a beach getaway coming up and you will be needing makeup inspiration while you are out there.
Whether you have a beach vacation planned out or not, a beach inspired makeup tip is one to have in hand.
I mentioned in my previous blog post that Denim trousers are having the best of me this season. I have been shopping for them recently than I ever have in the past, maybe the denim trend attributed to that. I typically own more wide leg pants and skirts, than jeans.
Generally, streetwear isn’t my style but I can pull looks together that can fit into what I would call a “streetwear” outfit. If you wear lots of jeans, then you can create or build a look around it to pass for streetwear.
A style may not be your type, but you can always work around it to make it yours. You can do this by tweaking your looks, adding what suits your personal style, make some modifications, accessorize to your liking until you create that balance.
I have concluded that blushes play a vital role in the overall look of makeup. They complete your makeup look by tieing all products together. My everyday makeup look must include a blush whether it’s a powder or cream blush.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but jeans are slowing becoming an easy summer piece in my closet. A pair of jeans can be easily dressed up when you have less time to think about your outfit. You can throw on any top, a t shirt, tank or bodysuit over it.
As complex as the word hyperpigmentation sounds, it is a common skincare concern that most, if not everyone suffers from. Whether yours is from acne, sun burn or scarring, it is a skincare problem that 99% of people deal with in both sex.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing easy ways to avoid and treat hyperpigmentation.
If you haven’t noticed, tinted moisturizers, skin tints and CC creams are having a moment right now. This doesn’t mean foundations are obsolete, but they are everyday wearables that makeup brands have made available through different means.
The hotter the weather, the lighter you want to go with your makeup products and application. Right before summer, I made that conscious effort to incorporate more tinted moisturizers into my makeup routine while building them into full makeup looks.
I always thought a moisturized skin is a hydrated skin until I began to grasp more knowledge about skincare products. While that had been my belief, most skincare brands use these words that they now become synonymous to many.
However, these words have a clear difference and knowing them, makes it easier for you especially when making product choices.
What really is a traditional cocktail outfit? As we find ourselves in the middle of an eventful season where parties, occasions and celebratory activities will occur, there is always something to wear. Something as easy as a black and white look.
It’s that season where we get to amp up our glowing skin, whether that’s through bronzers, highlighters or glow oils etc, I believe in using all or any of them.
Are you out and about? Have a pool day, or shoot day? These products will definitely add that extra glow that your skin needs.
Now we are officially in Summer, it’s time to share more fun fashion trends for the season, starting off with a colorful look of course.
Sheer or organza pieces are making huge statements this season. From shirts to tops and dresses, I will say they are perfect for the season. Not only is the fabric light and airy, they add that free flowy concept to a look.
In the past year or two, I have been seeing more eyeshadow sticks make entrance into the beauty industry. I keep noticing the increased availability in them as beauty brands adopt this new product concept.
The pressing question is are they taking over eyeshadow palettes and how long are they going to stick around?.
Does your wardrobe consists of neutral pieces and you are thinking of ways to style them Summer? Read along to see the ways you can incorporate shades that are in the color scheme of neutral tones.
Neutrals are chic but I am going to be honest, sometimes they can be boring without character. There are ways to wear neutrals without going overboard and this look is one of them.
What your skincare contains, is more important than the price. With the beauty industry continuously growing, it is important to not just only go on a viral product shopping spree, but also take some time to know what these products contain and if they suit your skincare needs.
Choosing skincare products basically depends on your skin type. Is your skin dry, oily, or combination? Whether you fall into any or non of these, there are some important ingredients that your skincare must contain and in this post, I will be listing three of them.
It’s been a hot minute since I styled a mixed print outfit. They are usually very interesting to put together, especially when it comes to bright bold colors.
The art of mixing prints comes with being creative with patterns, shapes, sizes, colors, fabrics and above all balance. While this style of dressing may seem off or difficult to most people, they can be easily adopted if you love clothing pieces with patterns.
I didn’t know I was going to fall in love with lip oils and glosses as much as I have in the past year or two. Prior to that, I was a lip balm and lipstick kind of girl and now I want every lip gloss and lip oil my hands and pocket can get.
If you haven’t noticed, lips oils have had so much hype lately. I didn’t understand the rave until I started using more of them. Whether it’s a hydrating lip stain, serum, or oil, they are for more than just makeup products.
The season of brunch is here. A time where we get to meet up with our favorite pals and girlfriends just restaurant hopping, eating, drinking and chatting away. Choosing the right outfit is as important as choosing the restaurant to brunch at.
Florals are so feminine and summery. They instantly fit the atmosphere of a brunch event. Whether it’s a simple dress or top, florals are one of the most acceptable fabrics to wear for Summer.
I came to know about Pacifica Beauty through the Flip app. I must say that app introduced me to amazing brands. The girlies on there had so many good things to say about the brand and when I got a chance to work with them, I did not hesitate.
I received a box of Pacifica goodies that I got to try out. Although I haven’t been able to go through the entire box, but these are my favorites so far from the ones I have tried.
If there is one drug store makeup brand that has taken over recently, then it has to be Elf cosmetics. They have continued to dominate the affordable makeup grounds by going above and beyond in their recent launches. This is not limited to makeup products, but also skin care.
Over time, I have been collecting Elf products and I decided to create a full face of makeup using only their products.
Since I got introduced to supergoop, I want every sunscreen that they have. They are known for making one the best collections when it comes to SPF or sunscreen related products. From their viral Unseen sunscreen to their glow screen, everything feels and looks really incredible on the skin.
Supergoop is a mineral sunscreen brand that is dedicated to only clean ingredients. They have 40+ options for all skin types, tones and routine.
We all have those basic items we need for a functional day to day wardrobe, but is your Spring Summer wardrobe complete without a bodysuit and a pair of denim cargo pants? Obviously not if those items are missing in your wardrobe.
On this blog post, I will be sharing more on some essential pieces you need to have in your Summer wardrobe.
At the end of the day, we are faced with taking off our makeup. When you remove your makeup at night, do you use a makeup removing wipes or a cleansing balm? Whichever routine you are faced with, the decision boils down to what products you use while cleansing your face. Recently, the beauty industry has seen a surge in the use of cleansing balms as opposed to cleansing wipes.
On this blog post, I will be sharing top 3 reasons why I prefer Cleansing balms to Makeup Wipes.
We are far into the season of weddings and celebrating love. The best way to show up is by picking a suitable wedding guest dress to look good not just for yourself, but also for the couple.
I have always been one to allow people come in their best for my events as I don’t see them stealing my shine as most people will say. I love to see people look really good, whether it’s my wedding, or birthday celebration.
I can’t do my makeup without a good blush, simple! It is the one makeup product that ties my entire look together. Blushes have a way of adding that natural flush to my skin, which makes be look more awake. That subtle tint with a dewy glow makes my skin look healthy and youthful.
Would you agree if I told you don’t need a foundation or concealer for an everyday makeup look? Well, yes you absolutely don’t especially when you consider having to wear them everyday for long periods of hours.
Except your work requires you to have full beat for photoshoots, on screen events and such, you can totally pull of a makeup look with little to no product and here is how.
No one really thinks about wearing a black outfit for brunch. Brunch is considered a time to look very soft and feminine in your choice of outfit. It’s the time most people tend to show out when it comes to their outfits.
However, if you want to keep things simple without going overboard with your look, this is an outfit you can go for.
If it’s not viral, is it even a makeup product? Gone are the days where everyone talked more about the foundation they use than any other makeup product. This isn’t to say everyone must have a trendy or viral makeup product, or their makeup look must be on trend. This also does not in anyway indicate the non-existence or use of foundation.
There are lots of clothing items but how do you know what unique pieces to add to your wardrobe?. While most items may be unique, some actually do stand out and get more compliments. Those are the types of pieces we would be chatting about in this blog post.
Except you are a creature of habit, trying new products is not new to most people. Some people tend to go on a hunt for the best skincare products that will solve what they are trying to correct, or some may go in search for cleaner beauty options or some may just be a skincare junkie like myself. Whatever category you fall under, the most important thing to watch out throughout your skincare journey is how you incorporate these new products into your routine.
When a wardrobe refresh takes place, white dresses are top picks for Spring Summer. They add that light and airy element to your closet.
I can easily say white dresses are a wardrobe staple, regardless of what your personal style is. Whether you are a colorful or neutral dresser, they are a must have for Spring and especially Summer.
One of the easiest ways of looking put together with minimal effort is by styling monochromatic outfits. If you are new to my blog, this isn’t the first time I will be sharing tips on how to style a monochromatic look.
However, for recap purposes, these are the ways to style an effortless monochromatic look.
The season is in full swing, so is the fashion trend and you can never go wrong with any outfit that has a denim flare to it. Denim is classic, it’s vintage, it’s contemporary because it’s a fashion piece that is ever evolving.
One of the easiest ways to look put together is by throwing on a denim piece, whether that be a pair of jeans, skirt or shirt. They are easy to dress up or down and I am not surprised that they are back with different twists.
Whether you have been on a skincare journey for long or you are just starting out, there are some basic skincare tools you will be needing. However, these tools are not exhaustive and you can add on to what you may consider basic or necessary depending on your skin needs.
On a day to day basis, these are the skincare tools I have come to realize are necessary especially when I take into consideration how regularly I do my skincare.
Whether you are graduating or a guest at a graduation ceremony, your outfit matters as there will be lots of picture moments. One of the best ways to look graduation appropriate is a blazer and wide leg pants. Although dresses are preferable, a blazer always makes you look more formal and chic.
Of course Spring has its own makeup look. It’s light and airy, a time to explore with more fun colors especially when it comes to creating a simple graphic eyeliner look. As someone who has tiny eye lids, I consider this one of the best ways to create an eye makeup without overpowering my lids.
Get ready to see more fun prints on your timeline this Spring. I love prints, especially colorful ones. From abstract to floral, geometric and in between, prints bring that interesting element to a plain look. They add character and motion to a whole outfit.
I only started wearing sunscreen six years ago and since then, I have never looked back. One of the best things you can do for your skin, is to judiciously apply sunscreen daily whether you are indoors and most especially outdoors.
Most days I wish I started earlier but I’m glad I have religiously stuck to a routine for a long time now. We all know how important it is to wear sunscreen, but do you really know the specific reasons why?
An all black outfit on this blog? Yes everyone needs a black piece of clothing in their closet because black is black when it comes to fashion and it’s always a ceremonial color when it comes to graduations, weddings, parties etc.
Finally Spring is here and so is the fashion that comes with it. I have been curating my Spring Summer wardrobe and best believe colors and more colors will surface.
As a makeup collector, that goes without saying that I enrich my collection with highs and lows. I have been collecting more Chanel beauty products since I fell in love with their Les Bieges healthy glow bronzing cream. That product changed the way I thought about luxury makeup and decided to look into them more.
While I didn’t think much about luxury makeup brands, I always thought they were just about their name tags and nothing more because luxury doesn’t always mean the best.
As the weather gets warmer, I am gradually working on curating my Spring Summer wardrobe.
From cleaning out my closet to seeing what I have and don’t need, to utilizing what I already own and adding new pieces, I’m excited to tuck away my knitwears for more airy and lightweight pieces.
It is important to know what ingredients your skincare contains. Whether your skin differs from the next person or not, knowing the contents and its benefits will give you a better understanding on how it affects your skin on the long run.
With someone who has dry skin, I tend to incorporate clean skincare products that contain hydrating properties, and Squalane is one of them.
As we age, so does our skin and the best we can do to keep it looking healthy and young is to have a regular skincare routine and applying your products in the right order.Now the big question is: Do you apply your skincare in the right order?
I am an huge advocate of shopping sustainably, which can also mean shopping from your closet or repurposing your already existing clothes without having to purchase new ones.
Another way of encouraging sustainable fashion is by thrifting. My closet consists of 45% thrifted clothes which I hoped to have increased by last year but I still find myself shopping other “fast fashion” brands. However, it is not easy to completely transform your wardrobe to 100% sustainable clothing as it is usually an ongoing process.
Not everyone is into a full glam look, so I decided to share a very simple makeup look as an inspiration for Valentine’s Day.
It’s also not surprising that many people are new to makeup and with that, the search for beginner tips are on the rise. Therefore, I would be sharing this look with minimal products, as something you can easily create at the comfort of your home with less products.
What can be considered a clean skincare product? This has been a question skincare and beauty brands have answered over time by introducing clean products to the public.
Of course taking a brand’s word on how clean their products are, is a bet on our skin.
Fashion trends that make come backs are usually ones to try out. Trends that go way back 90s and 2000s are beginning to debut in a more fashionable way for 2023 and they are definitely ones to hop on.
Whether you are into trends or not, these choker necklace trends are back in style and not just in their usual style, but in fashionable way. Let’s just say the ’90s trend has finally returned.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, I will be curating different makeup looks as an inspiration for that day. Whether you are celebrating yourself, with your significant other or your girlfriends, you want to have a flawless makeup look.
We all know skin like finish is prevalent right now in the makeup industry, but I will be focusing more on how I created the eye look and also listing all the products I used.
As Valentine’s day approaches, we will be thinking about outfits for that day, what to wear, and how to style them etc. These thoughts consists of a nice hair do, a makeup look, accessories and a good manicure. However, today’s post will be centered on “Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas”
Blushes are highly underrated. They are the significant piece that ties what I define to be a good makeup look. Whether you are going for a natural everyday look, or a full glam, blushes will impact the overall look of your makeup.
In the same breath, I will choose a blush especially a cream blush over a foundation any day because I tend to wear blushes more than I would a foundation. With a good blush, some mascara and brow gel, you are set to hit the door for your day.
When you think about cozy and comfort, cable knits or chunky knitwears as they may be called, are one of the best choice. They embody the character of keeping you all bundled up and warm for the season.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips on how to style Cable knitwear for Fall.
Not everyone has a skincare routine. Some do but are not consistent and whichever category you fall under, I will not be judgmental as I was once in that boat and somedays I still find myself sailing that boat today.
One of the most asked questions on my Instagram is what product to use, how often to use it, recommend a good product, what are the best steps etc. I will be answering these questions on this blog post.
This is a simple and easy post ushering us into the new year and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends. Mine was jam packed with fun activities that we couldn’t make it to all our invites. Just grateful for the new year, thankful for all your support on here and I believe 2023 will have better things in store for us all.
This year, I plan on infusing more lifestyle content to my blog. I already do, by writing on skincare tips but there are so many more ideas I will love to write about on here. I get lots of skincare questions on my social media pages so I’m inclined to provide more articles on that topic.
I want to look good but not totally at the expense of my pocket and drugstore makeup brands know how to do just that. However, this doesn’t mean I don’t or won’t own luxury makeup, as I currently own a couple sitting on my beauty counter.
The best part about these drugstore makeup brands is their affordability and they can do the work if not better than these high end brands. Also affordable makeup doesn’t mean they are substandard. In most cases, they are better than these luxury makeup brands out there.
We are a week down to Christmas and I’m so excited for all the festivities I have had so far. With that comes the idea of having a holiday makeup glam.
It’s either a simple holiday makeup look or a full glam look whichever you choose, it’s that time of the year where I wear more makeup than I would on every season of the year.
In the past year, tinted moisturizers have been on the rise and you wonder, what is their benefit and why are brands gearing towards it in recent times. Are they better than foundations? Are they replacing foundations? Where does a foundation stand?…
In today’s blog post, I will be answering these questions.
I am currently scrolling through the New York & Company website and I couldn’t help but share these amazing sale items with you all.
As I write this article, I already have some pieces, thankful for a good working relationship I have with them so I get to try most of their Newly launched items.
What really is a functional or capsule wardrobe? A lot of times, people answer this question based on their style preference. Items you consider that make up your functional wardrobe, may not apply to me and vice versa.
Today’s blog post, I will be listing a number of pieces that make up a capsule wardrobe for women.
The holiday season and the festivities that come with it is my favorite time of the year, and putting holiday outfits together is also exciting especially a sequin dress.
Today’s blog post is all about the styling a sequin dress. It is all about the glitz, glam, shine, metallic etc as opposed to the last blog post where I shared pieces that are festive worthy but do not include sequins.
A well deserved and relaxed time doesn’t always have to be in the four corners of an actual Spa. You can create a luxurious Spa moment for yourself in your home. All you need is the right tool and a nook to create that special self care spa experience at home.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips and tools to make your home a Spa.
There is something interesting about finding and styling a sustainable outfit for the holiday. Sustainability could mean repeating your old clothes, shopping sustainably from your local thrift, vintage/consignment stores as well as these online shops.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing ways on how to put together a sustainable festive outfit for the holidays and also pieces that do not involve sequins.
Can’t believe the festivities of the holiday season is fast approaching. From gifting to parties and events, it’s that time of the year where we all scramble to find the “best” beauty gift set for our friends and family.
Yes I know, we are still in Fall but knowing what’s to come for Spring Summer 2023 as it relates to fashion trends is key. From the just concluded fashion week all over Europe and America, the continuous trend that came down the runway was color and more colors. From the hot pinks to the orange and blues etc.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing more on the fashion color trends for 2023 and how to incorporate them into your existing wardrobe.
With Fall, comes different techniques when doing your makeup. The cooler the weather, the heavy handed you may go when creating a Fall makeup look. It definitely isn’t necessary or advisable to have heavy makeup on, but we tend to leave light and airy looks for summer.
I usually go with bolder lips during Fall/winter- such as deep purple, dark browns, burgundy etc because they tend to depict Fall season and with a simple makeup look and a bold lip, you are good to go for a Fall/Winter look.
Maxi skirts are back and they came just right on time for Fall. Although they have always been around, they came back reinvented and stylish for Fall Winter. Of course I had to create this fall fashion trend by infusing colors because it depicts my personal style.
Speaking of maxi skirts, not only are they trending for Fall, they are also good layering pieces for the season. With a maxi skirt like mine, you can wear tights underneath for an extra layer of warmth.
It is that time of the year where we begin shooting Fall looks in the heat. Honestly, I am not upset about it as I love being a resource to you all. Now, the big question goes “Is a Fall look really complete without a touch of a classic houndstooth piece? The answer depends but for this post, we will say No.
Seeing that Fall is here, I decided to share a recap of some of my Fall transition outfits from last year with essential Fall pieces you will need for the season. However, I shared a couple of Fall outfit reels over on my instagram.
Surprisingly, the weather has dropped here in Oklahoma and I will be needing a light layer of cardigan or jacket to keep warm. Thankfully shops are stocking up on these Fall essentials that will make for a good Fall outfit.
One thing I love about bronzers and highlighters, is the fact that they are not seasonal and all skin tones can wear them especially the Iconic London products.
While they may not be for everyone, there is no doubt that for those of us who wear them, can attest to how they contribute to the flawless finish our make ups have. Not everyone wears makeup or goes the full mile of using bronzers and highlighters, but for us who do, we are always on the hunt for the best of the best and brands are ready to make available what they think is best.
Creating consistent social media content for your brand or other brands can be tedious. Whether that be in form of brand partnerships, Organic or User Generated Content, all can take a toll on oneself and the best way to do so consistently is by following the tips I will share in this post.
However, do not take this article as a wholesome answer to your inconsistency as other personal factors may be involved.
I can’t believe summer is gradually coming to an end! The season flew by quickly and so did my summer 2022 outfits. Sometimes I look back and think I didn’t have as many outfits photographed for the season unlike previous years. However, these are some of the looks I shot for Summer but I will be linking some Fall items at the end of this post.
Plaid is a classic fabric that will always be in style, season after season, year after year. When it comes to Fall fashion, I love to add patterned fabrics to my wardrobe especially with my cardigans, sweaters and above all my Coats. I find these patterned fabrics to be unique in style and looks.
Vibrant colorful outfits took center stage this Summer. It was and still is the hottest fashion trend for the season and accessorizing them is one of my favorite things to do. It doesn’t matter what color you love on the spectrum, anything bright bold and vibrant is the theme for the season although it may not be appealing to most people.
For everywhere you look, there must be at least two summer weddings going on. Whether that be in form of a huge ceremony or a simple gathering of a few family and friends. It’s the season to celebrate those you love, and one of the best things you can do for them on such important day, is to find a good summer wedding dress to look your best as a guest.
Summer weddings are always fun and this must be attributed to the weather, the clothes and the environment. With the warm weather comes an array of summer wedding guest dresses to choose from.You get to explore more fun, airy and colorful dresses.
What better season to show off all the body glow there is than summer. It’s the season where brands tend to push out, because consumers tend to search and shop for all products that can give them the Ultimate glow they need for the season.
You can never go wrong with any outfit that has a denim flare to it. Denim is classic, it’s vintage, it’s contemporary because it’s a fashion piece that is ever evolving.
One of the easiest ways to look put together is by throwing on a denim piece, whether that be a pair of jeans, skirt or shirt. They are easy to dress up or down.
The heat calls for all the beautiful, fun loving dresses you can have for summer and cottagecore/prairie dresses are best. Anything floral, gingham, plaid, prints, puff sleeves, loose fitting, flowy look, etc are all considered cottagecore.
This subtle ethereal look isn’t exclusive to those who love neutral outfits, but definitely open to every fashionable woman. I am continually drawn to the fit these prairie dresses give, as any figure can embody the style in a fantastic way. These dresses are easy to find in any clothing store especially now we are in summer.
There is no better season to bring all the glowing makeup than summertime. It’s the season where you get to try all the amazing, fun, bold, glamorous makeup looks. It’s the season to dare with bold colorful looks, glits and body glows without any regrets.
With Fourth of July around the corner, I decided to share this look on here as an inspiration for you guys. Will be sharing the steps below and all the products I used to achieve this summertime, Fourth of July inspired makeup look.
While we love body fitting clothes, the oversized look is also here to stay and I must say I am really into it not just for the trend, but the comfort and silhouette it gives to an overall look. Not only is an oversized shirt a great styling piece, it is also beneficial in Summer because of the heat as we will be needing free flowing clothes.
However, most people tend to shy away from oversized clothing, because they feel they don’t get it right when it comes to styling.While I love my tight fitting clothes, I still make room for those baggy, loose fitting clothes especially wide leg pants!
Are you looking to add some milk body products to your skincare routine? If yes, then you are reading the right post! To be fair and honest, I think these are the first milk skincare products I am trying out and I was confident enough to do so because this milk body collection is by Fresh Beauty.
Fresh Beauty is a brand that is true, tried and tested. I have used a couple of their skincare products over a long period of time, which in those times, I had no adverse reaction to their skincare line.
What is spring summer without a white dress? It is a must have for the season as they bring a refreshing look to your entire wardrobe. Of course wearing white dresses isn’t restricted to just spring summer, as they can be worn all year round. However, there is something interesting, fun and flattering about wearing white dresses for spring summer.
This season calls for white dresses in different styles, fabrics and designs. However, the ones I am particularly drawn to, are those with eyelets or lace but I couldn’t help but get this one from New York and Company.
You can never miss it, it is conspicuous, it’s bright, it’s bold, it’s energetic and it’s called Neon for a reason. The fashion colors for Spring/Summer 2022, are blues, pinks, yellows and greens, with green being in the forefront of most fashionable publications but today we are highlighting fluorescent Pink.
Most spring/summer runways for 2022 showcased this hot pink. It was hugely done in a way you could never miss the shade being the ‘IT’ thing for the season and as it turned out, most fashion houses tapped into the brighter colors because Pantone approved it.
An easy way to come up with a trending spring summer outfit for 2022, is by creating a monochromatic look and jewel tones are the best way to do it. The browns, tans and beiges have become less interesting and people desire to see more colorful outfits and that’s where a jewel tone look comes in.
Styling a monochromatic jewel tone outfit for Spring, brings out the sophistication in a colorful look people are concerned to loose when it comes to wearing colors. This doesn’t take away from the fact that a good color blocked outfit when done correctly, looks sophisticated as well.
It’s the season for dresses in all styles, prints, silhouettes and more. If there is anything clothing brands are doing right now, that thing is stocking up on all the fun flirty dresses for Spring summer 2022 and it becomes better by the year with all the gorgeous prints, colors and trending details.
We all have those basic items we need for a functional day to day wardrobe, but is your Spring Summer wardrobe functional without a white button down shirt? Obviously not if that’s the one thing that is missing in your wardrobe.
On today’s blog post, I will be listing some essential pieces you need for your Spring Summer wardrobe.
Never forget that your skin needs the same care you give to your face. Being the largest organ, the amount of care needed to maintain it, can never be over emphasized. From having daily showers, to body scrubs and moisturizing it, no one is least amongst them all.
I tried out this Exfoliating body scrub and butter by TPH body and they are amazing individually and together. I love that the body scrub contains lactic acid which helps exfoliate, brighten and even out skin tone while the body butter unbelievably melts into my skin and deeply moisturizes it.
I get it, not everyone is into colors, they find it difficult to incorporate them into their wardrobe because it doesn’t depict their personal style. If you are amongst that spectrum of people, keep reading as I will share some tips on how to introduce the trending colors into your Spring 2022 wardrobe.
It’s not rocket science, neither is it a tough thing to do when it comes to picking out colorful pieces for your Spring wardrobe. If you are one to stick to a neutral wardrobe palette, the best way to introduce the trending spring colors is by choosing what we call Pastel shades. These shades are softer and milder tones in the color wheel. They are not considered to be bright, vibrant or bold. They are subtle in their nature and can easily pass for neutrals if worn correctly.
If you have been following along on my Instagram page, you must have seen me share some cream blushes and saying why I love them. Cream makeup products are gradually taking over the makeup industry. Not only are brands tapping into this new dimension in the makeup industry, they are consistently creating products that meet everyone’s need when it comes to cream products.
If there is anything I will tell my younger self, is to take my skincare routine seriously. While I consider 17 to be early to start your skincare, I can’t say if I took it seriously as I would right now.
As we age, so does our skin and the best we can do to keep it looking healthy and young is to have a regular skincare routine and applying your products in the right order.Now the bigquestion is: Do you apply your skincare in the right order?
It’s not too early to start planning a nice getaway for Spring Summer, and with that comes searching for perfect outfits. My previous blog post listed some Spring fashion trends for 2022 and this time around, I am styling this bright bolddress, which is a great pick for a spring summer vacation outfit.
I am always one to pick out outfits that fit into my personal style and wardrobe regardless of trends, and this New York & Companyoff the shoulder striped puff sleeve dress is the perfect dress for a spring summer vacation 2022. It is absolutely gorgeous, and ticks all the boxes for a trending Spring fashion look.
Undoubtedly, you can’t scroll through social media without seeing some bright bold hues in numerous colours. From incredible silhouettes to colours and suiting, these trends will remain for Spring.
Warmer days are here and so are the colorful prints. From dresses to tops and every other piece in between, it’s about time I start digging up the old prints I have and adding a few new ones to my wardrobe. If there is anything you need to do this Spring, is to refresh your wardrobe with some prints that matter for the season. Whether they are florals, stripes, animal prints or vacation prints, your wardrobe needs one of them.
The beauty industry is never ending, with continuous emergence of amazing products. Keeping up with every single product is impossible but being able to get your hands on some best picks is a good idea.
I came to know about the French beauty brand Chantecaille from a UK blogger, who spoke highly of them and I always wanted to try out their products to match the hype.
This has been in the works!!! A book, a guide, a literal and practical approach on how to transform your fashion lifestyle into an eco-friendly, and sustainable one.
Getting into March, instantly makes it a safe month to start sharing more transitional Spring dresses. Although we still have some cold fronts and I enjoyed sharing my bump friendly winter looks, I think I’m ready to take off the layers for a more simple and free flowing look.
I am always on the hunt to try out old and new beauty brands. Although you can never get your hands on all the brands out there, It’s amazing how many new ones you come across regularly because the beauty industry always has something fresh and new to offer.
The cold fronts are gradually coming to an end “hopefully” and I guess we all can’t wait to take off the layers, feel lighter, incorporate more fun colors and prints to our Spring summer wardrobe.
Spring Summer fashion is mostly associated with bright and airy pieces, one that can make us feel breathable and pretty. We are ditching the thick fabrics for fun dresses, prints, patterns, etc whether they be mid length, long sleeves or otherwise.
The drier the season, the dewy you want your makeup to look in other to avoid dry flaky skin. As someone who has dry skin, experimenting with dewy makeup/looks has been interesting, as my skin tends to have that natural glow depending on the products I incorporate while making up.
As the season of love draws closer, having the right outfit and accessories to go with it becomes a necessity. Whatever your style may be, never over think it because you will look good in any outfit of your choice provided you are comfortable in it.
Let’s face it, there is nothing more glamorous looking on a dark skinned woman than a bold colorful outfit. It is catchy, it is intriguing and it is captivating to say the least. Media had over time down played the benefits of wearing colorful pieces and projected more neutral and earthy tones to women, indicating that these shades depict sophistication, elegance and chic, meanwhile the reverse is becoming the case as most dark skinned women are beginning to embrace more colorful pieces and styling them in the most audacious way possible.
One of my mottos as a content creator, is to highlight small business owners, with emphasis on small black businesses. It’s a personal way of giving back and supporting my culture, provided their values and products align with my personal brand.
In addition to fashion, one of my favourite contents to create and share is anything in the skincare/beauty line and today, I will be sharing more of Neem Naturale.
Nothing screams more like a traditional Valentine’s Day look like this outfit. It has the well known red and pink a Valentine’s Day look is known to have. This is in no way saying other colors are not acceptable to wear on Valentine’s Day and if I have to choose, I would go with some other color than the traditional Pinks, Reds, Whites and Black.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing some colors, tones, hues and looks that are great for Valentine’s Day. If you want to stay clear from the traditional Valentine colors, keep reading as this post is for you.
If there is one look I love to see people style during the winter months, is a skirt or a dress because these tend to need more pieces than a usual pair of leggings or trousers. You want to keep in mind that the ultimate goal in any look you desire to create in winter is warmth and something that will keep you warm and comfortable in all those layers is key.
This isn’t my regular blog post but just want to quickly share that this past Saturday was my birthday and I decided to not put in any work (content creation), but enjoy the weekend and just relax. Surprisingly, this mama can’t even hang for long anymore as I retire for bed by 9pm but I still made the day work.
Before I dive into this article, I must say my entire wardrobe isn’t sustainable, but 75% of the items in my wardrobe are. Sometimes I count sustainability with how often I repeat my clothes without having to consume (purchase) new items.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing ways in which you can curate a sustainable wardrobe moving forward.
When a list of classic fabrics/prints are being mentioned, a houndstooth fabric is definitely one of them. The style, the pattern, and design are unique and outstanding. Not to mention the craftsmanship that goes into every detail on the fabric.
On Today’s Blog Post, I will be sharing ways to style a Houndstooth outfit for Winter.
It’s not new that secondhand fashion has become the forefront discussion in the industry and everyone seems to want to have a piece of what they term as “secondhand”. Whether that be in a form of decor or clothing, brands are streamlining their products to conform to the societal needs of secondhand shopping.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing what I consider to be one/some of the best items to shop secondhand. I’m sure by now most of you know my blog articles are also centred around thrifting so I can say confidently that my opinion/suggestions are based on experience.
You love your neutrals, but you need to add a little spice/switch to your winter look without foregoing them? You can do that effortlessly and still portray your personal style, or better said, you can style them with a pop of color without loosing your style identity.
The holiday season may be over but the gifting isn’t and as a fact, we have an upcoming gifting season in February (Valentine) or if you have January birth friends or family members, this is a good time to start thinking of what to gift them. For someone who was born in January, I always wonder what or if I will ever get a birthday gift, knowing that Christmas was just right around the corner. To my surprise, I even get better gifts on my birthday than Christmas.
Winter is typically associated with dull, cold, gloomy colors because they depict the weather. As one whose mood is majorly affected by the weather, I try to keep my outward appearance as bubbly and fun as possible. So sticking to an all black or neutral look for winter is a no no for me. Black or neutral tones aren’t forbidden during winter, but I’m here to shift that mindset of “colorful looks are not appropriate for winter”
What an awesome yet challenging year we all had. I say we because it includes you all on here, my old and new readers/subscribers. However, I love to stick to the positives rather than negatives, so it was definitely a good year and if you are reading this congratulations, you made it.
Life gets busy, salon appointments get impossible to book, your hairstylist is out of town etc and all you need is some hair saving day, especially with the holidays right here, you are left with little or no option for your hair. Lately, I haven’t had the time to book a hair appointment with my stylist so I resorted to wearing wigs because they are convenient and adds that extra touch to my look.
Today’s blog post is in collaboration with Luvme Hair and I will be sharing more on their wigs.
Overall, a good makeup look starts with an excellent base. Once you have the right skin work for your face, you can add on to what has been created. A good base also starts with a good skin prep ie your skincare step before your foundation and concealer. Once that has been achieved, your eyeshadow, lipstick contour and highlighter are the last steps to give that final holiday glam makeup you are going for.
Who says you can’t get an Incredible Christmas outfit from Goodwill? As someone who loves thrifting, I couldn’t pass on the offer from Oklahoma Goodwill Industries to collaborate with them to share a Christmas outfit look from pieces they sell. I knew this will be a fun task to do because why not!!!
You can absolutely shop sustainably for your Christmas outfits and you will still look Incredible while saving some coins.
It never gets old or boring with a glam look for the holidays. With the festivities come all the glitz and glam look for the holidays, whether you are going simple or not a sequin outfit is always a perfect choice for the holidays.
Have you ever considered wearing a shacket for the holidays? Not a boring looking one but a fun sparkly one. On today’s blog post, I will be sharing more on this oversized sequin shacket look from New York & Company.
Imagine what holiday looks looked like back in the 70s and 80s, with TV shows giving us a glimpse of what women wore, the high fashion, the simple but glamorous looks, the bedazzled accessories, the colorful and outstanding looks etc. Wearing a Vintage dress in these times is no different, as we see people incorporate them into their modern looks.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing few tips on how to style a Vintage dress for the holidays.
We can all admit at this point that a one piece is super easy to throw on and go, but certainly not that easy for a pregnant lady especially when she has to take her bathroom breaks.
Amazon has been showing out in its clothing department and I decided to check them out for some basic items which will be handy for layering in the winter months. I stumbled on this bodycon jumpsuit which comes in a ton of colors (trust amazon for multiple color options) and I got mine in this coffee brown and wine red.
This was one easy piece I wore, comes in a strechy fabric so I am currently wearing a size medium and it fits perfectly and comfortably. A bodycon one piece like this, is an easy item to use when layering for the winter months and because it’s lightweight/already feels like skin, it’s easily buildable into a more warm look for Fall/Winter.

I plan on sharing another blog post showing you all how I layered the jumpsuit, to give you an idea on how to style for the colder month.

I’m sure by now, most of you know I’m loving sweater dresses more because they are easier and comfortable to style for Fall. However, what amazes me the most is how soft and stretchy this sweater dress is.
Comfort and Style is what I go for these days and as we continue to enjoy a little cool days before the winter breeze, I’m ready to always opt for sweater dresses.
One of the ways I have been able to marry my comfort and style looks, is by going for anything oversized especially in sweaters and jackets. Luckily I don’t have to buy maternity clothing so I usually just size up and with that being the case, anything between Large and Xlarge that looks good on, I am buying.
If anything the past couple of years taught us, is the ability to love/enjoy staying at home. Some have become home buddies and adapted quickly into the home scheme of things, and with that comes comfortable sets/loungewears to wear at home.
On today’s blog post, I will share more on how to elevate a two-piece/lounge set.

On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips on how to style a denim dress for Fall
It’s interesting how many different styles of bags are out there. Most times, we own these bags not because we have the means to purchase them, but because they serve different purposes. A bag you will wear for a date night will be different from one you wear to work or grocery shopping. These instances vary from woman to woman and doesn’t cut across borders as the same.
At this point, there is no colour that is restricted for just Fall. Since the emergence of colourful look this past Summer, wearing colours into Fall/Winter isn’t a surprise anymore. When you think you have styled all the colour combination looks, there will be one or two colours from the colour wheel you haven’t touched on.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing ways in which you can effectively incorporate royal blue into your Fall looks.

Whether you are going through body changes or not, having the right undergarment is key to body confidence and comfort. Most times, finding the right one that ticks all the boxes can be a little overwhelming especially when sizing, durability and quality is involved.
Fall isn’t only associated with sweaters and cardigans. You can style any dress appropriately for Fall especially ones that are chiffon, silk or satin and not necessarily knit dresses that are deemed Fall staples.
Breaking from the usual fashion post to share this good news with my blog family on here. This is very unusual for me, as I never get to share much about my family on any social platform.
Who doesn’t love a monochromatic look? They are easy and seamless to style. One way to come up with simple Fall looks, is by creating a monochrome look which must not be of vibrant Fall colors, but of neutrals and earthy tones if you are not one to love colors at all.

One thing that has remained constant since its evolution in the beauty industry, is the use of lash extensions. They have morphed into different ways and are now known to be constantly part of people’s beauty routine. The question now remains is it worth having on? I have seen people ask some influencers or people in general if they can live without having their lash extensions done and the answer across border has been No.
On today’s blog post, I will give a little comparison between having lash extensions and not.

I am all for a piece that is comfortable and warm at the same time, especially for Fall/Winter where you have to use the layering technique to keep warm. If by now, you don’t have a ribbed or knit skirt as it may be called, you are definitely missing out. The comfort and style a ribbed skirt brings is unmatched and I plan on having them in all colors and length for Fall/Winter.
Are you in the market for a black owned accessory brand? A brand that is stylish, minimalistic and chic at the same time? The Monazeni brand is one that I have recently come across this past Summer and I couldn’t help but fall in love with their bags. I first spotted them on some influencers and never thought they were black owned until I looked into them. Fortunately for me, few weeks after I stumbled on the brand, I was asked to be gifted one and of course I said yes.
As most of you know, this summer was a huge show of colourful looks and I’m guessing people were tired of the typical neutrals that began to seem a little boring. Colourful looks have a distinctive way of catching the eyes, keeping you entertained and wowed at the same time.
Pink and green is a combination I never saw coming, and it sure lasted the test of time this summer. On today’s blog post, I will be sharing more on this look and how to create a colorful Fall wardrobe.
I recently took a poll on my Instagram, asking my audience how they feel about taking off their makeup at the end of the day, and 84% of them said it was dreadful which I agree it is on some days. Although makeup wipes seems to make the task easier, it has been known to be less appreciated since the beginning of cleansing balms.
I get it, you see these bloggers with incredible pictures in beautiful locations and you just wonder how do they do it, what time do they have, and how much resources do they put into these kind of photos. Without a doubt, it can be a struggle for most of us bloggers, especially new moms, mothers without baby sitters, work schedule etc. While these are some prevalent factors that affect content creators, there are also ones such as weather and as we approach Fall/Winter, there will be some days that it will be practically impossible to shoot contents outside of your home.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips on how to create content at home and how to make good use of your personal space for content creation.
There is no such thing as perfect hence, your brows can never be perfect. They can be suitable (perfect) for your face structure and can never be exactly the same especially when you have to draw them yourself. Remember, brows are sisters and not twins.

On today’s blog post, I will share few tips on how to achieve a “perfect” brows.

Summer is gradually leaving us and I thought why not share a recap on some of my favourite looks. This season, I was able to dive into my creative colourful style, and create looks that were not only vibrant and fun, but also depicted my personal style.

There is a difference between a swimming pool party and a party by the pool. A pool party most definitely involves having the right bikini or bathing suit, getting into the water, splashing, jumping, diving etc while a party by the pool involves drinking and eating “by the pool” and not necessarily having to get into the pool.
In today’s blog post, I will be sharing more on how to dress for a party by the pool.
I realized people are wanting to know more about the steps on starting a blog, as opposed to only seeing beautiful pictures on my Instagram and other social platforms. So I decided to share more information about blogging and how to get started.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing few tips on what you need to know or do before starting a blog.
Patterned outfits may seem all over the place and slightly confusing to accessorize but the easiest and safest way to go about it, is by adding a pop of color to your look. Either your jewelries, purse or shoes can be the pop of solid color. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t use neutral tones like black, beige, browns or white to accessorize your look.
Inasmuch as I love colorful pieces, there is still a need to fill in neutral tones for my closet and one of them, is by having black and white outfits or a combination of both because that’s a good way to have a balanced wardrobe in my opinion. While this isn’t fixed on stone as many may not want these pieces in their closet, it is usually advisable to have a couple as they come in handy for some events you need to attend.
As weird as it may sound, blazers are worn all year round and even in the hottest season- summer. We automatically think once the weather gets warmer, we switch all the pieces that are better for colder temperatures and one of them is a Blazer. However, there is an exception when it comes to blazers as you see people wear and style them even in the summertime.
In today’s blog post, I will be sharing ways in which you can incorporate a blazer into your summer wardrobe/looks.
With menswear increasingly popular amongst women, where we style and wear them in various ways, I couldn’t help but jump on that bandwagon while adding my feminine touch to it. Not only are men’s wear comfortable and structured, they give a relaxed fit without having to feel clinged up in your look. I have heard most thrifters suggest buying blazers and pants from the men’s section, and have them tailored down to your specific needs is a great way to add menswear into your closet.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips on how to add feminine touch to your menswear.
Let’s admit, 2020 made us rethink ways to adopt better at-home self care routines and with spa spots shut down, we began to bring the spas into our homes, by using aromatherapy products during our “me times”. These products are not only beneficial to our topical bodies, but contribute greatly to our mental health because they help relax and restore our bodies.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing more on Ajae Beauty, which is a black-owned Aromatherapy Skincare and Self care brand.
Tell me a fabric that looks incredibly more stunning than an African print and I will show you better ones that surpasses your choice. These fabrics are known for their unique designs, rich colors and patterns which although originated from Indonesia by a Dutch Entrepreneur back in 1846, quickly became accessible in Africa because of their high demand and by Africa, I mean the continent which comprises of 54 individual countries. Vlisco was first introduced in Ghana and the process of making them is called “batik”. While these fabrics may seem similar, and generally known as Ankara in West Africa, some designs are particular to a country and in most cases a tribe.
On today’s blog post, I will share more about African print dresses and how to incorporate them into your Summer wardrobe.
A monochromatic look is one of the easiest, if not the easiest look there is. If you follow along with my blog articles, you know I have shared a couple of articles where I shared tips on how to create and style a monochrome look.
On today’s blog post, I decided to choose the color green since it’s the color for Summer, with different shades popping all around social media. Green as has fast become one of my favorite colors since styling it and even before it was projected to be the color for Summer. It depicts prosperity, nature and growth.
When it comes to fabrics, there are certain prints and patterns that will always be in style. These prints pioneered centuries ago, stood test of style times, never gone as they are acceptable all year long and we are talking about FLORALS!!
In today’s blog article, I will cover the nature of floral pieces and how to style them. From cottage days to city days, floral prints are spectacular fabrics that are worn by many people in the fashion industry. Let me rephrase, it is a fabric that is worn by any and all, irrespective of their fashion taste or interest.
Bodysuits are common pieces you see and hear about, but having the right and comfortable one that fits your body type, soft and breathable on the skin is a plus.
I have been on the hunt for a good bodysuit to replace what I had. I searched, forgot to search and ended up getting one right before Numi reached out to me to try out their collection.
There is no better season to flaunt your pretty floral shorts than summer. It’s the best time of the year where cute, lightweight and airy pieces are worn the most and this one from H&M is no exception.
Wearing whatever makes you feel comfortable and YOU, is key. While that is important, I will be sharing more tips on how to style your floral shorts for Summer.
Lately I have been adding beautiful prints into my summer wardrobe. Not only are they unique in their individual style, they are great for the season, adding that fun bubbly factor to your summer collection.
Colorful print dresses are key Summer pieces. They are gorgeous enough to fit into your wardrobe and pretty enough to be worn by themselves. On today’s blog post, I will be sharing more on this Halter Maxi dress from New York & Company.

Thrifting is always almost associated with something old, whether it be a piece of cloth or a decor. Most people think of thrifted clothes as only being Vintage, but the reality is that although 70% of them are vintage, you can style them in a contemporary/modern way.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing tips in how to style your thrifted or vintage pieces in a modern way.
We if not all, know that Vitamin C is an essential ingredient for the body, whether you ingest or use it topically, it is a great source for brighter, glowy and healthy skin. However, I will be sharing the benefits of using Vitamin C topically as a skincare routine.
We all thrive to have a smooth, radiant and blemish-free skin. This can be achieved by adding to your already existing skincare routine, a Vitamin C inclusive product, which will help create an even skin tone, prevent sun damage and free radicals that harm your skin daily. Vitamin C is known to be an antioxidant that helps prevent skin/cell damage and when used, adds an extra layer of protection between your bare skin and the environmental elements/pollutants.
If your outfits are not colorful, then your makeup should! I think it’s healthy to add colors to your lifestyle, be it decor, clothing or makeup. Colors are amazing and they make the heart soulful.
What speaks Summer like these L.A Colors Fruity Fun Collection, that consists of 4 eyeshadow palettes, 8 lip liners and 12 gel eyeliners. The 4 palettes consists of 9 shades each, making it a total of 36 shades.
If airy and flowy had a name, it will definitely be this GraysonLinen shirt dress and as the weather get hotter, we all need breathable clothing, something free and roomy to get the hot air in circulation around the body.
Officially summer time, warmer weather, more outdoor activities and with that comes more events like weddings, parties, birthday celebrations to say the least. As we think of gathering and celebrating safely, thoughts about what to wear for that friend’s wedding begins to pop up. You haven’t been to any wedding in a while so how do you find the “right” dress for that special day.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing some affordable dresses you can wear for wedding as a guest.
Health is not only wealth, it is beauty and with the hustle and bustle we go through everyday, it is important to supplement our depleted nutrients by taking vitamins that help and make up for lost ones. My life has gotten ten times busier than it was 6 months ago, and with my busy lifestyle, from motherhood, family, 9-5 and running my business, I know it is important to amp up my vitamin intake and this Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies has become a part of my daily intake.
When it comes to trend, it never ends. It is an ongoing cycle where pieces, styles, accessories and looks make a comeback and this time around, it’s Gingham!! Yes it’s gone and came back again in full force for Spring Summer. From maxi skirts to espadrilles to sneakers, tops, dresses and even earrings. If you take a scroll down Pinterest Lane, you will discover a unique pattern and trend with colorful gingham looks, from one color to multiple colors in one piece.
Name a brand that carries so much force, and I will quickly mention Charlotte Tilbury. Isn’t just about the name, but she certainly has good products. The only product I have tried from her, is her Award Wining Magic Cream and this time around, I get to use it again in a different capacity.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing more The Magic Moisturizer Charlotte Tilbury gifted me.
We are a couple of days away from Summer, and lots of people are yearning to go on a vacation in some tropical or beach destination. Whether you are having a staycation or a vacation, packing the appropriate outfit is key. From dresses to cover ups and swimsuits, they put you in the right mood and spirit while you are on vacation.
On Today’s Blog post, I will be sharing more on vacation outfit ideas and how you can style them.
I didn’t get into or use any specific body highlighter until I had my pregnancy shoot back in 2019, where I felt that instant need to use one because I wore an off-shoulder dress for the shoot. I wanted something that would highlight my clavicle, and make the areas where my body was exposed glow. It is a good way of highlighting your body structure while adding that extra glow fit for Spring Summer.
I got the Liquid Face and Body Highlighter in the shade “Strength” which is a radiant bronze pearl that reflects rose gold. This is a perfect shade for you if you like their Shimmering Skin Perfector in “Topaz”, which is an excellent shade for medium to dark skin. I still use the Skin Perfector to date and it’s one of the best or next to best highlighter I have used. Pairing both products together, will definitely give you a magical glow for Spring Summer.
I must state that anything “Rose gold” looks phenomenal on medium to dark Skin. From eyeshadows to highlighters and blush, Rose Gold is a great on that skin tone.
Use Code: BECCAXOCTOLY25 for a discount.
It is weightless, transfer and water resistant (definitely a great pick for beach or pool days if you are needing to maintain a glow while deeping and diving. Nicely fragranced and infused with a blend of Pineapple, fresh coconut and orange flower notes with a moisturizing formula that leaves you with uplifting scent. VIA BECCA COSMETICS.
It is highly pigmented and a little goes a long way. My first swatch, made me gasped!! The texture and consistency areincredible. It is smooth, intense and beautiful. You only need a little because it lasts a long time on.
I applied it to my chest area, shoulders and my cheeks, areas where I know the light will hit regularly, in other to give me the overall glow I intend to have. Great for day/night and definitely a product I highly recommend having and using this Body Highlighter Summer.

As Spring Summer progresses, the pieces that comes into play become prettier by the second. They come in beautiful pastel colors, perfect silhouette, and cute details to say the least. One thing I have enjoyed the most without a shadow of doubt is the colorful journey I have taken you all through this Spring. Guess what, it’s going to get better as we approach Summer.
Starting off this week’s style inspiration with this two-piece floral set from Burlington. A two-piece set embodies a plethora of style options. Their nature paves way for multiple styling and endless looks, especially ones with prints or patterns.
On today’s blog post, I will be sharing more on this Two-Piece floral set and how to style them for Spring Summer.
Without a shadow of doubt, I have enjoyed styling pieces for the season. It has also been a period of personal style discovery and evolution, because although it is certain, it’s ever evolving as well, with different layers of ways I can look good and confident in my outfits.
My creativity in the fashion space, has steered me into a community of like minded ladies, willing to collaborate from around the world, with one voice and tone, expressing our love for fashion and style.
Having community full of women from different race and backgrounds, different physique and stature but one interest, which is creativity in the fashion industry is truly a blessing. With that being said, I came together with a group of ladies, around the US and Australia (My dear friend Faye is @fayedelanty) to recreate Saint Laurent Fall 2021 Looks. For the purposes of copyright, we named ours AINT LAURENT, and I will be sharing more on my choice of outfit.
Stemming from my last post, I decided to create and share another brunch worthy look. Something slightly similar to the last look, which can be a second outfit option if you have an upcoming brunch date.
While I say dresses are preferable for brunches, they are not the final and ultimate look. An ultimate look is what makes you feel your best while looking good at the same time.
As the weather continues to warm up, brunch time with your girlfriends will be on the rise and you want to look your best in a cute way. Of course it’s brunch and nothing more, a cute piece here and there to make a whole look is worth having and in social media era, who wouldn’t want to capture what they wear for brunch alongside the food on their plates. Hence, it’s only expected to want to look good.
On the blog today, I will be sharing simple looks you can style for brunch. Be sure to subscribe to My Blog through the pop up subscriber on the screen.

There are fashionable pieces/accessories that will always be in style and one of them is a Panty Hose or Hosiery, whichever way you call it. It’s an accessory that can be worn all season and all year round because of its texture. They have evolved into fun stylish ways over the years while retaining its vintage element, which is the colorful bubbly styles they come in.

There is a fun element which prints and patterns bring to an entire look. Whether it’s the color, the style, or design, there is something beautiful about prints. If you stick to wearing solid clothing, it can be intimidating to wear prints or patterns. Truth is they are super easy to style.
I’m sure it’s not new by now that GREEN is the color for Spring. I mean green in all shades and most especially the pastels, mints, sage, olives etc This isn’t limited to all shades of Pastels being trendy this Spring Season. If you don’t know already, now you know.
On Today’s Blog Post, I will be sharing ways to incorporate Spring Colours Into Your Closet/Looks.
Sustainable fashion is currently on the verge of leading these fast fashion brands. People are tending to sway more into ethical clothing because the environmental damage done in producing one new clothing item is devastating. One of the ways in which I project my views, is by encouraging secondhand shopping aka thrifting and restyling/repurposing clothes. In the bid to celebrating Earth day, a day where we highlight various ways to help protect the Environment, I decided to shed more light on this day and how it relates to fashion.
Shirt and Corduroy Pants- THRIFT FINDS
I have previously stated in a couple of my blog articles, that sustainability isn’t only associated with secondhand clothing or thrift finds, it is also the ability the restyle or repurpose your clothes in different ways which will be beneficial to our environment and less harmful to it. We are in the habit of purchasing the latest fashion, the new trend, the next sale or the newly launched item. Have you paused to ask “Do I need this many clothes or am I constantly consuming clothing items?” If the answer is YES, then you are going against SUSTAINABILITY and in the long run, harmful to the ENVIRONMENT.
I employ you to work through your closet, take a visual stock of what you currently have, play dress up to see how you can style and restyle items, make a list of items you think you “Need” and stick to that list so you don’t run into a shopping spree and crash into over consumption. When you continuously shop for new pieces, you tend to contribute in ways in which these clothing industries constantly produce clothes in large quantities. When we continuously help them “SELL OUT” we indirectly give them the nudge to produce more and in turn, affects the environment.

Having a night cream is as important as being consistent with your entire skincare routine.

This happens to be my first utility style outfit. It’s a mini dress from ASOS which is absolutely light weight and comes in a linen fabric.
Most times, utility dresses are styled with sneakers or boots, but I decided to style it with a pair of heels which elevated the look with my makeup, earrings and bag.
My SHASHI statement earrings brought a whole different dimension and look to the overall outfit appearance. It is such a beautiful thread earrings that goes perfectly with my hair do and I made sure each individual item complimented the other to create a whole perfect look.
I was also going for a monotone look with a touch of color which happened to be red. After I did my makeup using my NARS Powermatte lip pigment , I knew I had to go with my red crossbody bag and Heels from Madden Girl
There is never a set way to style an item, go with your guts and what makes you super confident and comfortable.
A pet peeve that comes with linen fabrics, its inability to hold its smooth texture after steaming. It is quick to wrinkle and look shabby if not worn or managed properly, but I enjoyed styling and wearing this all through the shoot.
Love the button and flap details on the dress, sleeves have an elastic cinch on the wrist and the waist has an elastic cinch and ropes as well.

Print Mixing!
With the crazy times still lurking around us, I thought I will share an outfit inspiration for any upcoming wedding you have to attend as a guest, with hopes that the lockdowns and closures will be lifted soon and we can all be out in the sun.
Floral Maxi dresses are pieces that make our closet come to live! They are beautiful, they flow perfectly, soft in texture, smooth, pretty and flattering. I found this floral wrap dress while shopping for my spring collection and knew straight away it was going to be included in my wardrobe staple.
It is made up of these beautiful bold flowers in different colors, and shape. It comes with a belt, tied to the back, cinched cuffs on the sleeves to create a ballon effect.
Very Lady Like.
The frills at the bottom, gives it that draping effect and imagination. That goes round the dress and cuts off at the front to create a side slit.
I styled this dress with a pair of blush pink shoes, my floral Nine West Bag and a couple of necklaces. I also thought a blonde hair with be great for this look.
A look perfect for a Wedding Guest.
The entire look together, feels appropriate for a wedding guest. It Spring time and with more weddings and outdoor events in front of us, what print can you possibly wear and style other than a floral wrap dress.
Found a similar dress on Macy website but it’s currently sold out. I will link similar items for you guys.
A straight hair style compliments the dress.
Don’t be afraid to mix your prints. If you are skeptical about doing so, the safest way to do it is by mixing prints that have one common color eg, my dress and bag has blush pink in them, which makes it easy to match.

Let’s just pretend I took a trip to Cuba.
White dresses are must haves as black dresses are, they add that fresh clean look to your closet. I have a bunch of them in different styles and lengths.
White dresses are very summery but can be worn in any season. I decided to style this cinched off the shoulder mini dress using a wide brim hat, a few layers of jewellery, tortoise shell Mules and Bag .
I love these MULES!!!!!
I had previously styled this dress on my blog when I was pregnant, now I get to style it a different way. I absolutely love the sleeves, the cinch at the bust/shoulder region.
The bag and mules are new additions to my closet, which I got separately but made them a set. They give that perfect contrast to the dress, and the Straw Hat adds that extra summer niche to the entire look.
This look, is appropriate for birthday parties, brunch, baby shower, lunch dates and evening dates, and you can go with a different hair style but I certainly went for a fringe and styled with the straw hat.
I was glad we shot at this location because it gave the cuban aesthetics, where you have those beautiful colored building all lined up, but in reality, we were down the Paseo District in Oklahoma City.

I plan to continue to share interesting and entertaining fashion ideas on here to give light and love in these trying times.
A jumpsuit in floral just makes it a perfect outfit for spring/summer. This Iris Floral print jumpsuit is from the Happy X Nature Collection (Kate Hudson) under New York & Company The fabric is super lightweight, made from recycled viscose which makes it a great summer wear, because its breathable.
An incredible blend of lilac and olive green, ruffled wrist band and a ballon sleeve. It speaks business at the top because of the collar and fun at the bottom. Styled it with my olive accessories and purple heels.
For my hair, I packed my silk pressed hair to the back, and added a draw string to create a ponytail. I wanted a slight change, which still gives me that natural look I always love.
In this present time, I choose to find peace and joy in all that is happening around the world. I may not be affected directly, but my prayers, love and light is constantly sent to the world.

This week I shared a couple of simple monotone looks on my Instagram stories, where I paired outfits of the same color or different shades from the same color. It’s one of the easiest ways to maximize the clothing items in your closet.
Monotone looks are generally refreshing to style as they balance and even out your entire look. It is sophisticated in its look and style, effortless in creating as you don’t worry much on styling options.
This Bcbgmaxazria peplum faux leather pants were a bargain. Original price $248 and I got them for $9!!! it’s mind blowing but I am glad it’s been been added to my closet. It is such a statement piece, very catchy in color and texture.
These peplum pants are very stylish and particular to certain occasion, such as parties, or night out because its design, texture and color will be off to wear in a corporate environment (IMO). It will be perceived as too excessive.
However, if you throw on a black long line blazer, to tone down the wet look of the pants, they will work perfect in a corporate environment.
These heels although steep, they are very gorgeous, chic and stylish. They go perfectly with any outfit I have on.
You can start today and pair items in your closet that are of similar colors, shades or tones and you will see how interesting your closet becomes functional.

Glad spring/summer is upon us, so I have decided to pump up my colours and style fun pieces. I had previously styled this satin crop top last year for my 30th birthday, and here it is styled differently.
My 30th Birthday dinner.
I gave it a more glammed up, event-like look and this time around, I toned things down and styled with a white denim and mules for a more fun, relaxed, brunch, catching up with friends look.
These jeans have to be one of my most comfortable crisp jeans! Found them at Name Brand Clothing and obsessed with it.

In celebration of Black History Month, I decided to go back to my roots in Style.
African prints are the most stylish, elegant and vibrant fabrics I have ever seen! I’m fortunate enough to be Nigerian and I get to explore and create impeccable looks using African fabrics.
Not only are they unique in their textures, patterns and colours, they are of high quality. Their versatility cannot be overemphasised because they can be used to make simple to classy to elegant wears.
The focal point are the sleeves, they are dramatic and stylish. They add that flair to the whole outfit, making a simple little dress stand out.
These African fabrics can be mixed with various fabrics to create looks. The sleeves are made of organza mixed with the traditional fabric. They make the whole look stand out.
These fabrics are not particular to Nigeria as other African countries have their own unique prints and designs. For the most part, generally they are classified under the large umbrella of “African Fabrics”
To shop these fabrics or ready to wear items like this, visit JobimClothing , you truly want to be adorned and be part of a country that is rich in culture, people, food and textile.
To shop this exact dress, visit Ruchne to place your order.

One thing I lacked in my closet was a multicoloured patterned pants, and I was thrilled when I got invited to partner with them to style pieces from the Gabriel Union, Kate Hudson & Eva Mendes Collections.

To style these pants, I headed over to the Gabriel Union collection and found this lush turtle neck sleeveless top, which was a great blend for the pants.

With a basic white cami, mom jeans, pair of boots and a teddy coat, you can effortlessly create a simple chic look. This look can serve for errands, making appointments to having an afternoon drink with a friend.
Threw on my comfy soft Teddy Coat from Burlington, styled with my thrifted wrangler mom jeans and my pair of block heeled booties from Urbanog.
A cami is a staple wardrobe piece that comes in handy as an easy styling tool. It can be worn on its own or styled as an under garment as shown in my pictures.
These jeans are one of the most comfortable jeans I own and I constantly reach for them without giving a thought to the others. It’s a good thrift find that I have incorporated into different looks.
Block heel booties are also a great staple piece. They are comfortable and elevate a simple look. Depending on your comfort level, you can go higher or middie.

In styling plain outfits, you can decide to go head-toe all plain or add a bit of pattern as seen in my picture. Whichever way you decide, is perfectly fine. Nowadays, it is common fashion for people to style different patterns in one look.

Used my structured bag from Burlington to compliment the plain soft look I was going for.

Styled this Houndstooth Faux Fur jacket from Burlington with a black mock neck top, from H&M red pants, black ankle boots by Kenneth Cole and a purse by Steve Madden
It is a look in between business and chic. You can decide to style this whole look with pumps or stiletto, depending on your desired look. I loved styling it this way for a slightly edgy look.
Sure got lots of compliments on this look while the shoot was on, I guess I did an excellent styling job. The jacket speaks class and sophistication, the top is simple, pants are stylish, purse and boots unique to make the whole look great.
This look will most certainly get you the deal signed in your favor.
Not too much going on, but simply stylish for a business brunch.

Addressing the messages I get on how I manage my Mom life and Blogging. It has been a huge adjustment since having a baby as I work around his schedule but I push to make things work on my blog.
By working around his schedule, I use every spare minute to put a line down, or take some pictures for my content. Most times, I shoot some contents at midnight when I know he’s fast asleep. That’s the sacrifice and hard work I put into creating contents for my blog.
Most times, it takes me days to put a blog post together and ready for publishing. Eg for this particular post, I am currently put together my write up, my pictures haven’t been edited just yet, I will have to edit them later and add them to the desired space.
The aim is getting something out every week so I try to create contents every spare time and day to achieve my goal.
It’s not the most comfortable or easy scenerio, but I am determined to keep my readers engaged and it’s an avenue for me to express myself on all things fashion, beauty and lifestyle.
I loved curating this look because was a perfect blend of highs and lows. The teddy coat and bag are from Burlington and I love them so much, the coat is soft, comfy and keeps me warm. The sweater dress is from Nordstrom Rack and it’s really soft. The shoes are Aldo and belt is Thrifted.
Another way I create contents is by shooting different looks in a day. That gives me the opportunity of having shot contents to work on later.
Pairing these items together, created a very chic and sophisticated look in my opinion. It could pass for a business meeting look, brunch look and a party look.

Today’s blog post is all about JORD who I am working with to participate in designing all their products. I love working with JORD because they are focused on refining and producing accessories with natural and reclaimed materials.
CASSIA WALNUT & VINTAGE ROSE TIMEPIECE
If you know me, you know I love vintage accessories hence I chose this vintage inspired design from their Cassia collection. This is made of walnut wood and it comes with a natural finishing oil which is used for the care and preservation of the watch.
You can check out their website HERE for their incredible watch options for both men and women. You can personalize the watch with a watch engraving and/or box engraving..
Incredible Details!!!
Perfect for keeping tabs on all my scheduled appointments, work deadlines and meetings.
Works absolutely great with any outfit.
It is light weight, easy to handle with a perfect round cut shape!
As a part of the Design Network, I have the opportunity to give my opinions about styles, colors, and more for their products. Right now, JORD is focusing on their new product line– handbags and would like your help with the next collection! These bags are made from Suberhide, aka cork oak, and vegan leather. The cork oak tree is one of the three trees in the world that can be stripped of its bark without dying. As the bark regrows, it pulls in a great deal of carbon dioxide in the air. The material is scratch and tear resistant, hypoallergenic, water-resistant, flame retardant, anti-static, and resistant to stains. JORD put a lot of research into this material to make a high-quality, natural material handbag!
Hence, I would like to invite you along with me on this journey! JORD is focused on creating products that you are looking for and would love your feedback. Participants will receive $30 immediate savings on JORD’S website. All you have to do is click this link HERE and fill out this short and fun survey.

Today I am writing about LIP MONTHLY and all their lovely goodies.
It’s a subscription for Full sized Lipsticks, Lip stains, Lip pencils and Eyeshadow sticks. Being my first time to try out their collection, I was impressed.
This bag contained a total of four full items that worked perfectly with it each other. I could use them separately or blend them to create a look.
A Lip stain, Lip Pencil, Lip stick and Eyeshadow Stick.
Here I used the Hikari Lipstick and the Evio Lip pencil which was smooth to blend.
I used the Eyeshadow Stick to highlight my brow bone.
Overall, it is a good mix of makeup items which would last a long time.
Hello everyone, welcome back!! It feels good coming back on my keyboard to share my thoughts on fashion and style since this new development. First off, if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected. The Bridge.
CJ and I had planned on checking out this Skydance Bridge here in OKC and we got to finally do so in Fall. Such a beautiful but windy day, my hair kept flying and it was difficult to get a shot without having flyways.
A very neat and beautiful park, lots of people taking strolls and enjoying the beautiful weather. I was 33 weeks pregnant, dragged my big bump and took a stroll round the park, absorbing its beauty and capturing some moments.
Decided to style my maternity leggings with this Duster jacket by By the Way a brand carried by REVOLVE . It was a perfect fit for the weather which wasn’t cold or damn hot. Styled with a little slim belt and threw on my flats from New Look (It takes me extra 5 mins to get myself situated to put on a pair of shoes)
I could feel my baby growing by the inch during this shoot. That’s why it is always advisable to have a comfortable choice of clothing when pregnant, because you could be comfy one second and the next you are over every damn thing!!!!!!!!
Leggings are from Burlington— of which I have had an obsession with this store and they carry amazing clothing items of unique designers and style.
Did I mention the slits on both sides of the Duster jacket, makes it more stylish, free and workable.
Wind was in the way but we sure knew how to make it Fashionable!!!!

My closet needs didn’t change much as I mostly sized up. I avoided the maternity section in stores until there was an absolute need for it.
One thing I did for sure, was clear out my closet in other to accommodate the new items I was going to buy.
I basically spent my days and trimesters in big shirts, skirts and dresses. I hated jeans until it got cold.
I’m glad I didn’t get to spend lots of money and even got irritated when I had to shop for newer items because I realised my bump grew bigger in the space of 2 weeks!!!
I was glad I had big shirts that could accommodate my growing bump but spent money buying sweaters and cardigans in XLs.
I hope you found my blog post helpful especially the expectant moms out there.

Being pregnant and having to adjust to your wardrobe needs without spending so much money is a huge task. Luckily, I didn’t have to buy a range of maternity clothing during my first and second trimester because I could still fit into most of my dresses, shirts and skirts and got ONE maternity leggings to style with my work shirts. All I did was pull them up above my bump.
I usually sized up if I needed to.
This dress is a very old dress I have had for over 5 years but its style makes it possible to wear with or without a bump.
CJ and I finally got to shoot at a sunflower spot she found. It was a quick and fun shoot.
Styled with a Knitted flat sandals for Comfort.
Documenting my makeup look just before I hit the door for the shoot.

Today’s post is all about my Teeth Whitening journey and experience with Smile Brilliant which I absolutely loved working with.
I had never thought about having a teeth whitening process done, but when Smile Brilliant reached out to me, I thought why not try them out. So here is a full box of the products sent to me, which includes three teeth whitening gel, three desensitizing gel , three catalyst paste, three base paste and two trays. These pastes and catalyst are used to make your impressions which will be sent to the lab in other for your custom trays to be made for you.
The process of making my impressions were pretty easy and here is a video below showing you how I practically made them. https://simplystylebyj.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IMG_7853.mov (Click the link to watch video on how I created my Teeth impressions for my trays)
My trays after they were sent to me.
To aid effective results, I had to quit using my teeth whitening toothpaste, brush with just water right before using the whitening gel add a quater syringe of the gel to my trays and commence the process between 45 mins-3 hrs a day. I usually did between 45 mins to an hour daily.
Applying the Desensitizing Gel
The desensitizing gel was used to calm any sensitivity I felt right after a whitening session and I was informed by their agent that you can also apply coconut oil on those affected gum regions to help soothe any sensitivity.
BEFORE & AFTER
My overall thoughts are that these products were easy to use if you follow the instructions carefully and I will say it has contributed immensely to not only maintaining a good set of teeth, but also giving my teeth this smooth, bright and white polished effect. Now I am even more confident in smiling all day because of Smile Brilliant

Welcome back everyone, hope you are doing well. It’s been a hot minute I wrote a blog post on my skincare routine. First, if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.
CAVEAT: I must say that I am in no way a skincare expert, neither do I have any training on skincare. This is just me sharing my daily/weekly routine.
Body Oil, Multivitamin Booster and Whipped body balm.
I am a bigger believer and consumer of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Collection because I have a dry skin and reach out for products that contain Hyaluronic Acid which is a hydrating element.
I have been using Neutrogena products since 2012 before the Hydro Boost Collection launched, and I can attest to these products working perfectly fine with my skin. The body oil has been in y collection since then, and I always mix it with the lotion or cream.
Hydrogel Mask, Watergel Moisturiser, Overnight Mask and Hydrating Cleansing Gel.
However, there are other skincare products I use here and there but these are my constant, daily/weekly routine products that I use and will always be in my collection.
Makeup Cleansing Towelettes and the Deep Clean Gentle Scrub.
The makeup cleansing towelette is super hydrating and moist. You can literally use just one to take away your makeup, leaving your skin hydrated. It doesn’t dry up your skin but adds moisture and hydration while you clean.
The gentle scrub is great on my skin because it is mild and can be used as a daily scrub. Its soft, smooth and rich in texture containing tiny beads.
Liquid-lotion Sunscreen in SPF 30 & Ultra Sheer Body Mist in SPF 45
I enjoyed using these sunscreen in summer, especially the spray bottle as it makes it easier for application.

BCBG MAXAZRIA SWEATER DRESS.
Sharing how I styled one of my most comfortable sweater dresses by BCBG MAXAZRIA I found in Burlington! It is so chic, soft and absolutely comfortable. Sadly I have combed through their website and my affiliate links for this exact dress but can’t find it. I will link several ones below for you guys to shop.
EXPRESSIONS NYC BAG.
I love this bag because it gives me this parisian vibes. It is vegan leather, neatly made and well structured. You can shop exact same bag HERE and it is called The Fulton St Flap Cross Body Bag. I will also link below a couple of different vegan leather bags for purchase option.
MULES: THRIFTED
Although my mules were thrifted, I was able to find one with similar texture (suede) and heels HERE The sleeves, length and slit on this dress compliments each other which gives more breathable room for my growing bump. My goal was to dress extremely comfortable while channeling my inner style and beauty.

It’s funny how I am African but can’t stand the heat wave here in America. It is humid, and super uncomfortable. I am 100% certain at this point that the sun and its humidity is definitely different than Nigeria.
Due to the discomfort summer brings, I decided to incorporate light weight skirts into my wardrobe for summer. If I need to wear trousers, I gravitate towards Palazo Pants or Culottes.
This is an old skirt from seasons back I got from FOREVER21. Pretty sure it’s out but I will link something else HERE & HERE
I was going for a Tan and Cream look, so I styled each individual item with the aim of achieving the color scheme. Shoes are STEVE MADDEN and you can shop same shoes HERE
This statement necklace is a THRIFT find and it’s ANN TAYLOR!! going for $4!!!! The price at which I got it for is incredible, that’s why I love thrifting because it is a challenge for me to find quality items without a cost.
Top is a FOREVER21 (OLD)which works as a staple piece in my closet.
Got my bag from Francesca’s and you can shop same one HERE

Skirts are the most comfortable and breathable outfits this season. They come in various fabrics but I will personally opt for satin, silk, flair, polyester, slits, button downs etc. Jeans are not the way to go right now. I love this Who What Wear midi-skirt because not only is it stylish and breathable, it is perfect for summer.
A gorgeous mix of colors, which made me style with a LEVI’S Tee, a flat shoes by KARL LAGERFELD and a STEVE MADDEN cross body bag you can shop HERE
I STRONGLY advise you visit my Vintage Clothing Shop HERE as there is an ongoing sale on select items.
This was one of my most fun shoots with my friend CJ. We found this spot and got stuck with it. Good environment and perfect angles.
This outfit is a good choice for brunch or day-time activities with friends. You can switch this look to a night-time look by having those perfect heels on and a stack of bangles.
I left three buttons open, in other to create the illusion of a front slit, which turned out perfect. You can decide to style it whichever way too. A tank top and a pair of blazers is also a great way to style this skirt, a crop top, or a top with puff sleeves. Any choice of color will be great as no one cares how you mix and match your colors, just make it FASHIONABLE!!!!!!!
I am excited also that this is my 99th blog post since I started blogging and sharing my thoughts about fashion. I pray my 100th post brings greater accomplishments for my Blog.

It is amazing how I have had this top for 5 years and it still fits. Not hoarding, but I never see it and when I do I am like “OH this Top is here, let me style it one more time” I would be giving it out soon.
Have you checked out the NEW Listings in my Vintage Clothing Store? Check it out HERE
These pants are a perfect example of summer vibes. Its colors, designs, florals and pleat is a great mix that depicts the season. It’s a Newlook item which was gifted to me by my sister-in-law and has been one of the fun staple pieces in my closet.
Top from Primark, earrings from H&M, Shoes from Old Navy. I linked these Items on my previous post. you can check them out and shop.
Shoes extremely comfortable, good choice for summer and if you need something flat, stylish and comfortable. Top is light weight and suitable for the weather. I chose to style the pants with Teal because it’s one of the highlighted colors on the pants.
You can choose whatever color you desire.
Statement earrings are a great choice for accessorizing if you have less make up or you need to create a focus on your face. I will link a couple of statement earrings below to shop.
You can certainly style this top in various ways, one of which is with a work wear pants or skirt to create a work wear or a pair of White Jeans to help create a contrast with the Teal shade and make it stand out.
Same option goes for the Pants as you have various options in styling it. I would suggest a graphic Tee, a white shirt, tank tops, Blazers, Jumpers etc. You can also decide to mix florals together, no harm, it’s fashion and make it stylish!!!!
A visual example of how to style the pants differently.

The sun is getting hotter by the day and thank God the days of tornadoes are behind us! We had a terrible straight two-weeks tornado episodes. However, I am back to share this monotone look with a work wear shirt.
First off, kindly check out the new listings in my VINTAGE CLOTHING SHOPHere
Did I mention how I am in love with lace fabrics? especially those that come in bigger cords. They are rich in their quality, looks and texture, but can be tricky as when you don’t go for the right size, style and design.
A basic corporate shirt can be worn in several ways. You can switch this up at work if you have to catch up with friends for drinks after work. All you have to do is roll up the sleeves, let a few buttons down and knot it up to help accentuate your waist line.
This skirt is one of the prettiest item I have owned. It is very unique and can be worn in different ways. The color and pattern is fabulous, elevating the looks of a basic work wear shirt. My friend CJ certainly knows how to capture details.
Shirt is linen which is one of the most annoying fabrics ever!! The wrinkage level on this fabric cannot be over-emphasized.
Paired my look with an Old Navy sling back Teal Faux Suede sandals, H&M Earrings and my straw bag from Looks like summer

Wonderful weather, very airing and calm. As usual, went for a little hangout with my friend CJ at the Midwest City Shopping center at Tinker Air force Base.
Entire outfit is pretty old except my Hat and Bag. I decided to have the hat and the straw bag because we had a park location shoot which was a perfect way to add a picnic look to my outfit. The hat is from TARGET which I absolutely love because is packable, adjustable and great to shade the UV rays from my face.
The Straw bag which is one of my most recent spring summer buy, is from Looks Like Summer and they have a beautiful range of bags. You can shop mine HERE it’s called the Grace Straw Basket Bag.
I totally love the lace and polka dots details on this Top which I got it last season from Marshalls and the prefect blend of the Denim fabric wide leg pants from Love Culture you can get something similar HERE
I hope you did enjoy this blog post, you can check out my VINTAGE CLOTHING SHOPHere and keep your eyes peeled for new listings on there.

A beautiful yet windy Easter Sunday, I spent half the time controlling my hair and hoping the wind doesn’t blow away my wig away! lol. With no clue on what to wear to church, I wanted something light and easy to throw on. In a second, I grabbed the top and pants, not knowing how I was going to style them yet, put them on and I said hmm why not go for an all yellow tonal look!!! Bam I paired with my shoes from Aldo , my Target Bag and my Earrings.
I hope everyone had a pleasant Easter celebration with friends and family. For me, it was a very chilled day, went to church, got home, spoke to family back home, ate lunch and spent the rest of my day watching a series ” The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” I recommend watching it.
The Wind was crazy!!!!!!!
The Top is a set from a Zaful Outfit I got about two years ago and the pants I got as a gift and I believe its from Ross mixed both together to achieve this look.
Earrings I got from Burlington but sure linking these HERE

Still in the 40s, I decided to style an all white outfit with this chunky knit cardigan.
My Pants are Linen and you all know it takes a second for Linen to gather up creases. However, they are one of the fabrics for this season. They are breathable and light weight, perfect for summer.
I loved paring my look with these blue earrings to give a pop of colour. They are light weight and have gold plated attachments to them.
Pairs with Neutral Flat Shoes and Bag.

It is spring and I decided to incorporate a couple of pastel colours into my colour scheme outfits. I knew I wanted to style this my top by Whowhatwear being a cool tone that will go perfectly with my Chic and Stylish Jacket from Shein. Never shopped in Shein but this was a good buy, although I got some wrong picks in there.
I will advise that when shopping from Shein, go a size up because they run small in fits ie it’s a China brand.
Paired the Top and Jacket with the Alfred Dunhill Pastel Yellow Pants I have had for quite a while now. I love it because I can style it as a work wear, casual outfit and night out with friends. For my accessories, I styled with a dainty pearl pin earings to match the pearls on the jacket, my Giogio Armani favorite wristwatch, flat pair of beige shoes and my blurred out yellow mini crossbody bag on the table right there.

On March 30th, I launched my my Vintage Clothing Shop!!!! Check it out HERE and I ship worldwide. If you know a little about me on here, I usually style a couple of vintage pieces and I love hw unique and different the stand out! Hence, I decided to start up an online clothing store where you can find and purchase all the exceptional pieces I have sourced for and handpicked.
I must say, I am very excited yet a little tensed about this current situation because it’s a path I have never taken, but I am willing to learn and grow in it. I am also happy I get to make available timeless pieces made of quality fabrics.
Did I mention this denim Skirt is Vintage? Styling these items with modern day clothes are one of my best styling activities. They expand my creativity and I appreciate textures, patterns and designs in different ways.
Prints are in!! All kinds and sorts. I was able to snag this Zebra Print Turtle Neck Top from Shein , it’s super light weight and soft.
My goal is to find affordable quality items for My Shop . Would also state that “I do not own the manufacturing rights to these vintage items”, but happy to source for them.
If you are willing to ditch Fast Fashion for items that are outstanding, then My Shop is a place you should visit frequently. This Banana Republic Denim Skirt is a subsitute for mine.

An interesting day again with CJ, after we had driven around town, looking for a good picture location, dealing with shadows in our tests shoot, we ended on a busy bridge with tonnes of people walking by. Could our photo session get any worse? No, but we had to summon courage for the lens.
My shirt had wrinkled from the long sitting and driving, but I was hell bent on shooting this look. Achieving this casual day time look, I styled my multi-colored shirt with a white denim, paired with my midi block heels from Cato Fashion which I absolutely recommend as a transitional piece for spring. They are sold out on these because I got them last season. Linking a couple here Miu Miu Camel-Brown Heels which you can also shop from Current Boutique and this VERY similar one by Spring Step .
One of my first 80s VINTAGE thrifted item is this shirt by CALICHE COLLECTION which I found on a random Etsy Shop HERE
With spring here, you will be seeing more white jeans and colorful outfits.
My slim belt is ALDO and you can shop the exact same one HERE and a couple of similar ones Here, Here, and Here.

In the bid of taking these pictures, I was practically sinking into the grass in other to get a good spot. Any ways, I want to talk about this H&M satin scarf.
Such a beautiful, huge, multi-colored, patterned scarf I used to create this ruche. I laid the scarf out, folded it into two, threw over my neck, making sure that the length on each sides were equal, used a slim belt to secure it round my waist, adjusted as required and moved the scarf around to create the ruche/pleats.
I chose to style this scarf by wearing an all cream outfit, to create a matching contrast on the scarf. Linking this DKNY Scarf here, it’s huge, suitable to create this look and can also be found in MACYs . Also this one Here which can be found in H&M.
Paired with my VERY OLD Primark, sandals which has different prints and patterns. I would link a similar one here→→ this Jean-Michel ankle strap sandals has a similar outlook with mine and you can also get in on THEREALREAL .
Linking this Karl Lagerfeld crossbody bag here as an option, and this Stuart Weitzman crossbody bag as another option, which can also be found in the THEREALREAL

Saturday morning, CJ and I decided to take the streets for our photo session. The first couple of hours was a hassle because we had chosen Brick town here in Oklahoma City, little did we know that it would be packed full with people because it was a beautiful warm day.
We took it down to the streets, with a number of people walking around, road blocks and people staring, we kept doing our thing. At first, I was a little uncomfortable because I have never gone out out to take pictures in a busy City where people are watching. After a while, I became confident and didn’t care, walking and flipping my hair across the streets.
On to this Ralph Lauren Blazer! It was the focal point of this shoot. I chose to go with an all white look, to help accentuate the Blazer. I love this long-line Blazer because it has an awesome cut, the side pockets, the detailed gold buttons, on the sleeves and front area. I linked a couple of long-line blazers here Theory Super-Cinch Fremont Plaid Long-Line Blazer through Neiman Marcus from Shop Style Collective . This Anne Klein Bold Stripe Blazer Jacket is similar to it and you can get it from Nordstrom RackHere
Stacked with a three tier necklace I got from Charlotte Russ (unfortunately they are closing down)hoops and my purse as the accessories.
This Blazer was THRIFTED!!!!
You can style with any basic white tank top of your choice. I linked these here for you guys Treasure & Bond white tank> White Jeans from H&M will link a couple here by Vince Camuto this by Style & Co.
Shoes by Aldo purse by New Look. Linking a this gorgeous pair of shoes here by Botkier can be found also under Bloomingdale’s and this La Regale gold clutch purse which can be found at OFF 5TH

Spring is here, there will be lots of weddings so I decided to make a post on wedding outfit inspiration. This is a French Connection dress which I got from Nordstrom
The lace, the pleats and the deep V neck line, makes this dress and great choice for a wedding guest. It is simple yet stylish with the details on every corner. Since I got this dress off the rack in Nordstrom, there was only one available so I will link a couple of dresses here. I have combed through French Connection’s website and can’t find it.
The sun was a little blinding but we made its work!
The details on the neck is unique and compliments the pleats below. This Eliza J Bell Sleeve dress is also a great option. Paired this look with my Kurt Geiger sparkly heels (Quite Old) and a purse I got as a gift. Linking a couple of options for sparkly shoes here Jimmy Choo Gold Sparkly D’orsay
You can decide on which color of dress you choose to wear but I am all about the style, details and how to make a complete outfit come alive. Added my dainty necklace, to accentuate the neck line and my earrings to compliment the lining underneath the dress.

Did I say how much I love the mix of cream, black and red? These colours are usually one of the best combinations that would help when choosing your colour of accessories.

Today’s blog will be about how I spent a relaxed Sunday evening with a friend CJ.
Meeting CJ for the first time in person although we had opened communications via instagram and text messaging, I decided to go with a monochromatic look. It was one of the easiest outfits I put together in couple of minutes.
Weather was pretty awesome hence my open toe shoes from Aldo which I have had for quite a long time now.
CJ planned the photo session which turned out great, we tried out scenes to achieve great pictures and finally ended the evening by having a wonderful dinner at Stella Modern Italian Cuisine with a heck of catching up and getting to know each other better.
Choosing a montone outift is one easy styling techinique you can adopt in making your get-ready session fast and simple. I love this sweater I got from Burlington because its simple and it has those cute crossing at the chest area, making the neckline stand out. Got it off the racks but I found something similiar with a different colour Here
I love the gold cuff details on this shoe, gives my ankle a stronger grip and looks stylsih. Choose this colour of shoes, to create a bit of contrast to the whole blush pink look. This is quite an old shoe, but if you desire to have a shoe with almost same ankle cuff look, I linked this Aldo shoes Here for you to shop.
This cute little bag I got as a birthday gift few hours ago, was my go-to pick for this look. It is an Aldo crossbody bag which you can shop the exact same one Here
Love the Burgundy and Blush look. Burgundy is a winter/fall colour which can also be worn in summer.
Pants I also got as a gift few hours ago, very light weight, pleated with mini draw belt aroung the waist. It’s from Ross and it’s a good choice for spring and summer!
Threw on my thick warm fringe scarf from H&M which complimented my whole look!. You can find similar H&M chunky fabric woven fringe scarfs Here
CJ is such a beautiful, warm young lady with soo much aspiration and as a fashion blogger like me, we would continue to give each other the support that we can offer, to achieve our dreams. You can check her out on instagram as @cheonhwajones, and show her some love.

Hello everyone, how are you doing? If you are new to my blog, welcome! My name is Joy and I post regular updates of my fashion and style tips. If you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen, so we stay connected.
When this post goes up, I will be 12 hours away from my 30th birthday!!!!! Super excited that I have learnt from my 20s and ready to discover more in my 30s.
I only started blogging September of 2017, started with baby steps and through these periods, I have gained more insight on how to better share my views on fashion, styling and beauty. In life, you never stop learning, there is room for massive growth and development, there is a lot of potential we all have that we need to key into. So far, I am not exactly where I would love to be, but I am delighted that God brought me this far.
If you follow my instagram page, I did a story previously on how I styled this Cardigan differently, but this time, I dressed it up. Dug out these my River Island shoes (old) that I have had for about 4 years now, styled perfectly with my neon cardigan.
You desire to wear a leggings but not comfortable with your butt hanging out, you style with a long Tee or Shirt, in that way, it covers your butt area. I chose a black long shirt to go over my faux leather Aldo leggings.
Most times I get so complacent with my pin earrings, but I had to consciously put on those earrings from H&M and you can shop for something similar Here
It has been a period of growth for me, both spiritual, mental and physical. I have actively excommunicated things and people that are not healthy for my mind, body and soul. I have conciously built and still building good and healthy relationships, disregarded things and people that have no substance to my personal and subsconscious growth, I have continued to search God’s word and His purpose for me here on earth.
For this my new age, I pray I continue to be self aware of who I am, the things I can acheive if I set my mind to do, realise that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13), and I have the spirit of God in me to make be, things that need to be.

Hey lovelies, I am back again and this time, I am introducing one of my long old style tip. If you haven’t yet subcribed to my blog, hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s get connected!
It has been a long tradition to style outfits with panty hose and open toe shoes. With the air becoming more cold and windy, a panty hose is one way to look stylish without wearing Jeans or Pants.
Most times, I double my panty hose if I feel the need to due to the temperature. The thicker ones are usually soft and they keep you warm through the day.
My colour block sweater was a way of avoiding an all black look, because I love a bit of colour on my outfits. You can also decide to wear boots or flat shoes with your Panty hose, and not neccessarily an open toe shoe (sandals).
It was such a gloomy day but I had to take these pictures for the blog and I am glad I did!. These block heel shoes are one of my comforatble shoes, and I wear them when I am avoiding a black pair of shoes but at the same time don’t want a bright coloured shoes.
My Satin shoes by Report in Lawren design can be found Here but sadly it is out of Stock. You can always save the link to know when it is back in stock.
Topped up my look with my Vintage Carmel Coat by Rothschild, to blend with the colours on my dressbarn sweater (old) and myJustFab mini black skirt (old) but you can find something similar Here
If you read my previous post on Layering, this is one technique you can use for layering. A termal underneath your sweater, a couple of panty hose, your skirt, sweater and Coat.

It was a bad weather day, didn’t go to work, had the day to myself and I decided to try on different outfits then it morphed into me doing videos and taking pictures for my blog.
It amazes me how I pick outfits and accessories from different stores and they go so well with each other as though they were bought together. I got this Faux Fur Vest from Marshalls and it is a design by Ci Sono by Cavalini Love the color and its extremely bright and warm.
Styled with an all black look to create that contrast. Paired with my cute little bag I got as a gift and my Aldo nubuck shoes.
I got this Faux Fur as a gift and its a design by Andrew Marc- Marc New York. Styled with my bag from Next and you can shop something embellished like this from HERE.
You can literally thrown on any color on a black and white outfit and it would work just perfect.
This is for my ladies who still love to rock their ripped jeans. This a hybrid of casual and classy because of the Faux Fur Jacket, I love the color of this jacket because it is a deviation from black but still on a dark shade.
This Jacket is a Vintage find by Peyton-Marcus (I intend to sell this soon, been worn twice for just photoshoots, still in good condition, keep your eyes peeled for when it is up for sale).
Hope you did enjoy this try on haul and the different ways to style your Faux Fur Jackets.

It is another episode of closet styling with my friend/client. I used different pieces from her closet to make an outfit.
A sweater Kimono, a black tank top, a mini skirt, a piece of jewelry, belt and a cute bag to make the whole outfit. She has had the skirt for quite a while I couldn’t think of ways to style it. I quickly took all items from her closet, pieced them together to style the skirt.
Having a clothing item for a long time doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t be worn or styled differently.
How accessorizing with a belt can make an outfit look completely different & stylish.
The cute sweater-kimono is from Dillards a similar red skirt can be found here from Charlotte Russe bag from JC Penny, a Liz Claiborne crossbody bag which has something similar to the link above.

Yes Hello everyone, I am back and this time, I am featuring a friend/client of mine. Hope you all are doing great and enjoying the festive season.
Meet my Friend/Client Nardos.
I was super excited that I got to re-organize and style her closet. After I was done with that, I helped pair and put a couple of her outfits together. She was slightly confused on how to style her sequin little skirt from Forever21 and there I was, quickly picking individual items from her closet to achieve this look.
I aimed at achieving a simple night time look with her mini brown Faux Leather Half Moon bag and jumper from Forever21
I gradually built up the entire look with her wedge middie heels to keep her comfortable and a black leather jacket to keep her warm for the night time. This whole look can also be worn for an event or better still a Christmas party without having to do much.
It is all in the Details!!!!!!
The biker leather jacket just gives an edge to the entire look. You can pair this look with a black or whiter Blazer Jacket, but I had to work with the items from her closet and she was excited I got to help style her sequin skirt.
I also did a little switch on the shoes and bag which would be appropriate for hanging out at Bars and Clubs on a Friday Night.
Paired this look with her black purse by Kate Spade where you can find something similar, and an ankle length boots, giving her a stylish and chic look.
I hope you did enjoy this blog post, in the meantime, enjoy your holiday season, spread love, create memories and remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season.

Mercedes Benz of Oklahoma City had their annual Christmas Party yesterday and I thought I should roll out in a Cream Top, Black Pleated Pants and a VINTAGE coat by Betty Rose.
My Black Pleated Pants by Catherine Malandrino Same Here is extremely soft and comfortable, and I knew the pleat pants and lace top was a great pick, with a clear pointy heel and a glittery gold purse to compliment my entire look.
My Red Coat, lol little red riding hood is a Vintage find, perfect for the holiday season, very stylish and unique, with the faux fur to give me a cozy feel. This excellent Vintage coat is by Betty Rose, designed in the 1960s!! I am so glad I got my hands on it. It was a lucky find and it costs nothing compared to the price I see on Here
You can find most Gianni Bini tops in Dillards Here
Let me lead you into a few tricks I used for my top, to create the waist line. I have this cream ribbon lieing around my house which came with a winter blanket I bought a few months back. When I tried on my top, I knew it needed more concept, so viola, I used the Ribbon on it!
Purse is a Carvella design by Kurt Geiger, which you can find something similar Here without the glitters though. Shoes are from Fashionnova, and you can have a quick buy Here . It’s my all time favourite pick that goes with any coloured outfit I throw on.

Hello everyone, I am back and I hope everyone is doing well. I will be sharing tips on how to layer up with summer clothing items.
A pink summer dress.
I know we are currently in the winter season, but there are some summer clothings we have that would still work a great deal for the winter. You just have to use the layering technique to create a warm outfit.
A burgundy turtle neck top
This is a typical summer dress which I layered with a turtle neck top for fall/winter. You can choose whatever summer outfit you have in your closet, layer it up with a sweater or cardigan and make it look cute. Turtle neck sweaters are perfect choices for these kinds of technique.
You can style with a piece of Jewellery.
With any choice of yours, an elaborate or dainty jewellery would be a good pick to add to your entire look.
Don’t be afraid to go bold with colours.
If you are new to my blog, I love playing with colours. They don’t scare me at all!! It’s always advisable to add a little flair to your outfit with a touch of any colour. Not necessarily loud colours but just for tones and contrasts.
The Hair, The Lips.
Discover your personal style, develop it, don’t be timid to explore ideas, styles and clothes because Style is an expression of who you are. It’s not about the clothes, it’s about who wears them and how they style them.
I hope you enjoyed my post today,as you leave your comments and suggestions, don’t forget to hit the follow button down below. Xoxo Joy
I styled this dress with a pair of blush pink shoes, my floral Nine West Bag and a couple of necklaces. I also thought a blonde hair with be great for this look.
The Bridge.
It was a nice and sunny Sunday afternoon that could easily pass for summer CJ and I met for lunch at Cafe Kacao . We had an hour plus wait for a table so we decided to hit Downtown to take some photos.
