THIS CHLOE DRESS VS THE REPLICA + HOW I “SLAYED” THE LOOK

 
I am a strong believer that how much your pay for your clothes does not determine how well they look on you. In simple terms, you can buy expensive and look cheap, on the other hand you can buy cheap and look lush and expensive. It is how you style your clothes that matters and not what you pay for it. Today, I will be sharing with you how I made this cheap dress look lush and expensive.

First, see the article I wrote on 7 WAYS TO LOOK EXPENSIVE. In the blog, you will learn how to style your cheap clothes like they are expensive.

THE WOODEN WATCHES TREND

I had the great honour of visiting Donegal in April where I saw in action how natural fibres are woven. It reminded me of the traditional hand weavers back at home. Sincerely, my face lit up when I saw that the process is same as it is back at home. Another thing that is getting me all excited now and also reminds so much of home is the womens wooden watches. Who would have thought that in 2017, wooden watches would be a thing?

THE WHITE BLAZER + MOTIVATION FOR MONDAY

 

For this blog, I had two choices, use the images/photos I have or don’t share any blog at all. I choose the former because when things don’t go the way we plan, we have to look for a way out or other alternatives. Why?

One of the characteristics of a leader or one who desires to be a leader is to look for a way out even when it has to do with a look book / outfit of the day. Today on Motivation for Monday, I will share some leadership principles to learn from an Eagle with you. Please read………..

Not sure if this is vain but I do care for my bags like they mean something to me. In this post, I will share some of the ways I take care of my leather bags with you……

HIGH END OR DESIGNER SHOES, ARE THEY REALLY WORTH IT?

When it comes to fashion, a lot of times, you get what you pay for. Other times, you do not get the value of the money you pay. In the latter, it means you only paid for the brand name and not the quality. A lot of people would do anything to put on the brand irrespective of the quality. For me, irrespective of the brand or the price of the product, the quality matters to me especially if I am paying a lot for it. In this post, I will share with you my take on whether designer shoes are worth it or not.

BROWNS & THE ART OF LAYERING

I popped in to see my “older” friend at home last Thursday and her daughter said to me, Aunty, you look so earthy and pretty; you are wearing all shades of brown……I said yes, I went for photos earlier and I just wanted to wear browns……..

I love all kinds of brown, not only do they sit well on my skin, they are a perfect shade for this season. The earthy feel to browns remind me of mother nature and the beauty of Winter……..
