The clocks have gone forwards in the UK(Bst) and it’s so good to have brighter sky’s for longer.
Nothing says spring like nude colours, No Coat, elegant knit wear, skirts and shades.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss -ReviewĀ 

Yes.. we are talking lipsticks again. As IĀ  have previously said Lipsticks are the perfect finishing touch.Ā 

The great face changer!

I came across L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss on my quest for cheaper alternatives. Omg ,I am totally sold out.Ā  This lipstick applies as a liquid and dries matte. For the price it has great pigmentation.

A must have for my fellow lipstick junkies.
The price was sooo good I bought 3.
Dreamy, Rebel and Backstage.

5 reasons why I have been In love with ASOS Sinnceee!!!!

image

As its Valentines day, am calling a spade a spade and laying my cards down.
I have been loving Asos for a minute.
I am always quick to embrace any tall range, but the love for Asos is very different.
Here is why:

1- I have a HUGE issue with things not fitting well. I have been a fitting model for years and it has made me obsessed with pukered or cracking stitches, garment balance etc …
It makes all the difference when cloths are fitted on various sizes and graded well. Thank you Asos for using real models and getting you grading right on most occasions and your fitting is pretty consistent šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘.
I know a size 16 will always fit from Asos.

2- Sadly Asos does not have a physical shop anywhere and there is nothing worse than seeing something online , ordering it only to realise it’s totally not what you expected. Thank God for the genius who came up with the Asos catwalk view. šŸ‘Œ.
It makes such a difference. I can see how the garment fits and moves on an actual body.

3- I get super annoyed when I have to pay for delivery.Ā  Yes I know people shouldn’t work for free but I always place my order then remember I forgot to add an item to the basket. šŸ˜’. So I have to order again and pay for delivery all over again.Ā  Asos on the other hand gives me free delivery so I can order and order till my card gets declined. If your impatient like me. You can gave unlimited next day delivery for just Ā£9.99. āœ”

4- I love that when I click on Asos tall, I get a variety of other tall brands .Ā  No need to leave the site. It’s all there.Ā  Thanks Asos for bringing tall brands together.Ā 

Finally.. it can be a real struggle to get tall clothes that look and fit great. Am not complaining because things have improved alot from when I was a teenager.
I have to say Asos is number 1 for keeping their tall range current, upto date and restocked. As I write this post there are 450 tall styles to choose from.Ā  Tall womenĀ  need and love choice. It just thrills me.

I really could go on and I will just mention this one last thing plssss.
Don’t you just love that Asos prices is reasonable.Ā  I was blessed with my height. Don’t penalise me with a higher price tag JUST because the item is tall. !

Ok … thats me doneĀ 

See you soon.

Oh… Happy Valentines day šŸ˜‰

Winter Black…How to wear Black Head to Toe ( A Tall Guide)

Winter is still lingering and as much as I can almost smell Spring, the cutting cold winds just brings me right back to reality.

One great reason for wearing black in the winter is that it helps to keep me warm. Black is an insulator !

image

I was not going for the “moaning” look so I kept my clothing item light and on trend.
I love the way this hat gives this outfit a whole new dimension. Hats have a great way of making you look very stylish and “bloggaesque”

image

image

I have lived in my turtle neck tops this season. Another great and on trend piece.
Oh… and very flattering.

image

A must have for every woman is that ‘hold it all in High waisted black jeans . They are perfect for every occasion and it does wonders for concealing my muffin top.

I am wearing my thigh high boots for the appearance of even longer legs. You can hardly see the break from my jeans to my boots.

image

I kept my jewellery to a minimum so that the outfit would stand out and do all the talking .

image

That my friends is how you can wear black from head to toe and look show stoppingly fabulous.

This look takes several Ibs off me ..winning šŸ‘

Hat – River Island
Turtle neck top – Primark
Jeans – Asos
Boots – New look
Bag – Accessories
Jacket -Topshop

Primark- Velvet matte lip crayon review.

I have always wondered why some comestics cost so much. Yet you get the likes of Primark and Superdrugs stocking similar products (unknown brands) for a fraction of the price.

image

I took a chance and purchased the Velvet matte lip crayon In D-Purple from PRIMARK.
This £2 lip pencil was worth every penny.

It glides on smoothly. The velvet quality means that it does not leave your lips feeling dry and flaky like some matte lipsticks.

image

I particularly like the fact that I can sharpen this crayon for greater precision.

image

For just Ā£2 you are getting a fabulous lip colour that will do wonders for your smile.šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡

It’s a huge thumbs up from me. This product is also available in a variety of colours.

See you soon.

Why not to pack away your summer clothes in the winter

Hey guys … lets talk.

image

Aside from being 50% busy and 50% lazy, IĀ  do not always get the chance to pack away my summer clothing at the end of the season.

I now make my schedule and lasiness work for me.
I have worn my summer clothing in the winter by layer them up and it means I can get more wear out if the clothing.
This trick works wonderfully with cropped tops.

I wear it over dresses , with high waisted trousers, over shirts and here I teamed it perfectly with a denim shirt.

Travel Diaries – Boxy Tops

Hey guys…
I had a great achievement today.Ā Ā  I have owned this particular boxy top for the longest while. I just couldn’t style it right and I didn’t think it fitted my shape.
Today I just wore it regardless of all.
I don’t think it looks too bad … right ?

Unfortunately, I forgot to capture the back but it’s pretty sheer and unlined.

Travel Diaries- Igbo traditional Weddings

So one of the main reasons why I made this trip was because my older sister was getting married. Having her traditional wedding to be exact.Ā  I was so nervous for her because this was soo not her thing.

After much planning the day came, it went well and I am here to tell the story. šŸ˜„.

Can’t remember the last time I had someone doing my makeup but it felt so good.
To top things off I loved the end product.

The great things about Nigerian traditional weddings is that we have somethings called  ‘Aso ebi’. This was the perfect excuse to get a dress tailor made just for my 6ft tall self.Ā  For a change a dress made perfectly just for me . I wanted this dress to be soooo shapely, it looked great and very flattering but I couldn’t sit down because it was so tight. šŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆ. That will teach me.!

Hope you like my dress. My tailor Joy did a fabulous job. She made this dress with just 3 yards of fabric.  Ok ….

See you on the next post.

Ysl Oriental collection

I am a HUGE fan of luxury perfumes.Ā  Sometimes I really wish I didn’t get on this wagon because once your on it…. you just keep discovering great smells… 😤😤

I have had the pleasure of trying out this collection.Ā 
Did you know that the Supreme Bouquet is one of the most sold perfumes. … well so they told me.

It’s really difficult to chose a favourite as they are all so great but I am leaning towards the Splendid Wood.

At over £200 for 80ml this is definitely going on my 2016 want list.
