When I was looking for a title for this post, it wasn’t about the summer dresses we wore in the post but the personality of the one in the photos. I had the opportunity to meet Fumi in London recently. When I met her for the first time in person, it was as if we have been friends forever.
Not everyone can meet people for the first time in thier gym clothes but she did. That to me shows originality and confidence. When we got talking, original and confident are the two key words I can simply describe her with.
We both decided to do a photo shoot wearing the same clothes and shoes. There was some sunshine on the day and this was the perfect choice for us.
We dolled up; did hair and make up and we were all set for photos.
We wanted to channel our inner “girliness” and if I do say so my self we did just that. Don’t we just look like “BFFs”?
Meet Fumi Desalu-Vold
An amazing personality and the very first super model that came out of Nigeria. She was a cast of the popular Ugly Betty, modelled in the league of Naomi Campbell and many more. She is the brain behind Fumi Desalu-Vold Inc.
Fashion TIP today!
To get more use out of your summer wardrobe, mix them up or pair them with winter pieces like scarves, gloves, hats, boots and coats…..and you will instantly transition from summer to winter.
It was indeed a pleasure to meet up with the person that inspires me so much. Even though the time we spent together was just like a flash of summer. i.e it wasn’t enough, this is a memory I will forever cherish.
Finally, one thing I have come to realise in life is that God will never come down from heaven to help us. He will send people our way who can truly be of help to us. So be KIND to one another…..a popular line by Ellen Degeneres.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I am always very happy to see you here.
Wishing you a fantastic life surrounded by true friends.
Much Love, Mojisola.
We were both wearing Gap dresses and Wild thing Sandals inspired by Aquazzura. I was wearing Mac’s Ruby Woo lipstick, Fumi was wearing Satin Sugar by Colour Draine lipstick.

You ladies look like twins most certainly. You’re right, I don’t think I could meet a fellow blogger or designer for the first time in workout apparel. Very brave, very confident. Whatever the case, such a pretty dress. One I would most certainly wear myself. Love the glamour & girliness of it all. Not to mention, makeup well done!

Gorgeous pics – and those shoes are to die for!
I like the advice on bringing summer things into winter – I love my summer clothes so much, and they look so sad stuck in the closet as it gets cold. I’ll have to work on some accessories to make them more winter appropriate!
You both look so beautiful, gorgeous and confident and indeed like friends for ever 🙂 I am so touched by your kind messages at every post, you are not only a beauty on the outside but also on your inside! I am delighted to meet you my dear! Wonderful post, I am so happy for you!! Yes!! 🙂
Hug,
