The last time I wore this denim here, I mentioned that I will be wearing it a lot. Please don’t blame me, the denim is just so comfortable and soft. That is the thing about denims, once you find the perfect pair, you just can’t leg go. Do you feel that way too?
Wearing an all black look is not what I shy away from. Black is fab and flattering no matter how you wear it. For a girl who used to wear black a lot a while back, the possibilities of an all black look/ensemble is endless to me.
I have tried all black to work with nude heels here and I also wore it to launch date it here.
The last time I shared some TIPS on how to frame/accentuate the face, I suggested that wearing high neck blouses (turtle neck) is one of the best ways to do that. You can learn other ways here.
Not only does the high neck blouse helps to frame the face, it is one of the easiest ways to keep warm when the weather gets colder. Honestly, it is my uniform in the colder months. Any one who knows me would know that about me. Throw on some gloves and jacket and cold will be far away from you.
I count it all joy when I find pieces that could be worn in more than one season. This dress is an example of what I mean. It is perfect for now (fall) and can also be worn when the weather gets colder (Winter).
It is also one of the patterns I love ; houndstooth. I am in that phase now where houndstooth appeals to me. I also paired it with grid here and shred TIPS on how to pair print on print.
Recently, I listened to J Lo (Jennifer Lopez ) in an interview on good morning Britain where she talked about her insecurities of been judged about her voice for so many years and how she was able to overcome the insecurities.
Who would have thought J Lo feels in secured about anything. A “sexy Latina” who has made the American dream ! Talk about a super star judge on American Idol and so many pointers on her CV.
Listening to that made me wonder if there is anyone who doesn’t have insecurity issues about their body?
The truth is there will always be a part of your body you may not necessarily like. Does that now mean you should chop them off or go under the knife to correct them. Going under the knife is a topic for another day.
Getting cleaner and clearer skin is way beyond buying the latest and the most expensive beauty products in the market but doing what works.
While a lot of people will immediately think of the 3 step ritual of washing, moisture restoration or toning and finally moisturising of the skin, getting clearer skin is way more than that.
Not that those 3 options or steps aren’t good, I will share with you 5 unusual ways to get cleaner and clearer skin in this post.
Mixing print on print or pattern on pattern is one of my favourite things to do when it comes to styling. Another is mixing delicate fabrics with tough fabrics to create balance or juxtapositions.
Today, let’s focus on mixing print on print. I have also decided to move Motivation for Monday down to the bottom of the post because some people are only here to read fashion and style and not motivation. If you read my motivation, please read it below. I thank you for reading.
Now back to fashion !
A must have for me in my makeup regimen is my face/foundation primer because I have a combination skin. Combination skin means that my t-zone gets oily than the rest of my face. To tame the oil, I either use my favourite face primer or I use an oil mattifier. Both of them helps control oiliness or secretion of oil on my face.
Just the same way there is a primer for the face. There is also a primer for the eyes. Today is all about the face/foundation primer and the importance of NOT using the “MOM”, milk of magnesia as a face primer. The use of mom or milk of Magnesia as a face primer seem to be a trend in the beauty community. Today, I am going to share with you few reasons why you should NOT use them as a primer.
When I embarked on this “blogging journey”, I knew deep down my heart I didn’t know what I was doing. However, I knew a part of me I wanted to share with the world could die inside of me if I didn’t start the journey. Even though I wasn’t clear about how and why, it was my love for fashion and the passion I had to succeed in what ever thing I do that has inspired me to continue since I started. And everyday, the more I put in, the more I get out of it. Would I say it has been easy, NO it hasn’t but it is worth it.
Distressed denims can sometimes be over the top distressed if there is anything like that. For some one like me who struggles with finding the balance between a mildly distressed one and the one that is long enough, I was quiet pleased to add this ankle length one to my collection. Not only does it…
A mix of brown and black is not what I see very often. To me I feel a lot of people shy away from mixing both colours together because both of them are dark hues. This dress however is proving to me that black and brown sure goes together not necessarily like peanut butter and…

While spanx or “body magic” would be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of how to flatter your waist line. A simple old trick of wearing belts is what I would highly recommend. The waist line is one of the most important part of the woman’s body. When you accentuate it, it…

Taking risks is sometimes inevitable in life. We think of our next big idea and we go ahead to chase them. While we go ahead to take a risk or a take a bold step, it is always important that we LISTEN. Maya Angelou says and I quote…. “it is when we listen in the…
I get a lot of questions about my make up from who does your make up, how did you get your brows to be perfect or what did you use on your lips and so on. The request keeps coming back to me so I decided to film a step by step guide to how…
The last time I did an Ankara look book, a lot of you were really excited about it. Since the sun is still shining and I can still show a little bit of skin, I thought to do another Ankara print look book. For today’s look, I styled the ankara of the day in two…
Good bargain is one of the things I look out for at the end of every season. I avail of all the reductions going on both online and in store to pick out pieces that will work well with the things I already have in my closet. I am not an impulse shopper so I…
