Travel Diaries -Pink Affair

Sometimes girls just ‘wanna’ be girls. I find the colour pink to be so girly but once in a while it’s good to indulge.
When am on holiday there are no heels rules. When I can, I wear the highest heels I have and cause a lot of commotion because I know in a few days or weeks I will pack my bags and be on my way.πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜

Travel diaries – How to wear leather in a warm climate

I always wondered how people in Nigeria can wear jackets, and tights given that the weather is so warm… I mean so Hot.

I found the most gorgeous pleather skirt from River Island and I just had to travel with it.
My friend told me that the way to survive in this Nigeria heat is to go from AC to AC.
I did just thatπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ and pulled off this fabcheek look.

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.Β  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. πŸ˜„.

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.Β  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. πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ. That will teach me.!

Head scarf – Gele from Bimms in Lagos.
Dress – Tailor made just for me πŸ˜„
Necklace -Sheinside

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.

Shoes for sandals -Travel Diaries

It’s taken over 12 hrs to get to my destination Abiriba in Nigeria.Β This is a small village in Abia State and am proud to say that this is where am from!
Home is differently where the heart is. Feels so good to be amongst old family and friends. I have met up with people who I have not seen for years and the catch up has been real to say the least.

Follow my travel diaries over the next few days. The Internet situation is real but bare with me as I try to keep a daily log of outfits and activities.

The single or off shoulder trend is another big one for this season.

Now you might be wondering how or why but a little shoulder sexynessssss is everything. I read somewhere that off shoulder is actually genius because it gives you the opportunity to show off a great bag (lol).
