R gets married!
My friend,R, got married in October, and as usual, we got aso-ebi [i.e. the fabric] which I got to customize. Generally, I tend to go for very simple silhouettes with my aso-ebi just so I can wear it over & over again; and in different settings. And I finally learned to tie the gele [head tie]. My mom sat down and showed me a few times that morning, and by the time I was heading out to the...

Statement Necklaces
My cousin, Doyin, came over to my boutique yesterday, and as soon as she walked in I was immediately drawn to her chunky necklace [yahh! I’m a necklace whore, lol! Must be the Nigerian in me. The kinda necklaces our moms wear to parties….*whew*]. It gave her otherwise plain outfit an instant lift. Upon asking where she got it, she revealed that it was actually two different necklaces...

Looking through this collection just made me want to get glammed up and go somewhere extra-dressy. The clothes are so sophisticated & sexy; but without being over the top. They’re simple, but uber chic….just the way I like my clothes. The shapes are flattering, the colors are beautiful….everything just works really well together. I also love the styling for the...

Roksanda Ilincic Spring 2012
I love the silhouettes and the colors; I mean, they’ve used some of my favorite colors in this collection. But the one thing I’m not feeling much is the bell sleeves; they’re just not me. But I’ll gladly take every one of them :)

Print Madness: Michael van der Ham Spring 2012
Maybe it’s the skillful use of prints…the colors….or maybe it’s the shapes….but something about this collection is extremely pleasing to my eyes. I love the colors; coral, aqua, fuchsia, etc. And I love how wearable it all is, even with the clashing prints. It’s playful, yet serious!

Ultra Chic Dresses From Bottega Veneta Spring 2012
You see, I love color. It must be something to do with my roots. My mom loves color; my grandma & great-grandma used to dress in really vibrant colors too. I just can’t help it. I love color, and I love vibrant prints! My newest fascination is clashing prints [sue me!].
Back to Bottega Veneta. I certainly do not see myself wearing the entire collection, but I found these dresses...

Lauren Conrad’s paper crown line is so chic! Nothing fussy, nothing over the top; just extremely wearable clothes. Something about this collection takes me back to California…..*sigh*…….I miss my second home. It’s just really clean! Nothing new; but I’ll totally buy many of these.

London Fashion Week Spring 2012: Holly Fulton
Maybe you’ll see the trend in the type of clothes I’m currently into: Loose but very flattering fit & very vibrant and colorful. I love shorts, I love little shift dresses. What’s spring/summer without them?
Holly Fulton’s Spring 2012 touched something deep down somewhere in my heart, lol. I love the neon color palette & the clashing prints. I like how she mixed in...

Flower power!
I was smiling as soon as I saw this collection; such happy clothes! And it’s stuff I’ll totally wear….love the easy fit, love the shimmery sequins.
Sometimes I’m a really lazy dresser….I want to throw something on that requires no fuss, but comes off looking amazing. I don’t want to do a lot, but I also don’t want it to look like I...
