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.
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 !
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…
The first time I had the saying; “are you living to work or are you working to live”, I took a moment to look at my own life. I asked so many questions and ponder on so many things. Most importantly, I have taken a bold step of working to live. It is…
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…
I often get questions like how can I add a pop of colour to an all black look ? On this blog, I will answer the question in full. I am a black lover. I wear black but not all the time. Any time I do I love to wear an all black ensemble like…
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…
Today’s post will be a quick one and it will be a Motivation for Monday (MFM). I do appreciate your great feedback on my last one here so I have decided to do this every Monday and of course it will be backed up with FASHION. A lot of us live our lives regretting one…
It’s the first week of fall / Autumn and there is no better way to transition to the new season than by spotting a turtle neck. Turtle neck is not only perfect for fall but wearing turtle neck is one of the best ways to accentuate your face like I mentioned here Since the weather…
I have an amazing and responsive Face book family who show me so much love no matter what I publish. Honestly, most of my blog visitors find me through Face book and that is why I would start today’s post with appreciation and then motivation for Monday. I am always very happy…
Let’s just say the denim on denim trend will always be around. The trend goes away for some time and then it comes back again. It is amazing how fun the trend is and how interesting it is to see different people spot them in different ways. Today for me, it is a denim on…
A good pedicure is something I find very therapeutic. I love the feeling of some one else doing something for me for once. As a wife and a mum, I am responsible for making sure that the home run smoothly, the kids are well taken care of, the hubby is happy and much more. I…
End of each season is my favourite time to shop. I look for the fanciest and budget friendly things and I bag them for keeps. I wear some of them now, I keep some of them for next session and I give some of them to my friends and family. To master the act of…
Quality, texture, colour and FIT are a few of the things I consider before purchasing/buying anything (clothes in this case). I care less if it is on trend, if it is designer or not. Once the cut, the design, shape, structure, colour and FIT is grand, count me in. Then I can begin to…

Not so often do we see people wearing black to weddings but Kim K & Kanye are looking so fab in their ensemble to a wedding. Kim’s dress is made by Valentino and it is quiet flattering on her despite her been very pregnant. This is the best I have seen Kanye look in recent…
The last time I shared photo TIPS was in this post here, where I talked about how to look your best you in photos. A lot of times, we think we have to have the best DSLR to capture the best footage, NOPE it isn’t always the case. If whoever takes your photos know how…
I may have said it a couple of times here on the blog that one of the things I miss very much about “home” is not been able to wear my ankara print as much as I would love to. I however look for occassions to wear my ankara print to one of which is…

Life is what we make of it but sometimes we have to try twice as hard to make what we want out of life. If we are not happy with where we are, it is so easy to comfort or console ourselves to believe that that unpleasant or not so good situation is what we…
