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.

Hey Guys,

So we are half way through the A-Z A/W 2015 trends.Β  A huge thank you for all your support and time spent reading my posts thus far.

Ok, we are talking about the Margot Tenenbaum trend . This links in well with the “G” of geeky goes chic post . However Margot deserves her own blog post as her look inspired several designers such as Gucci and Lacoste this season.

Firstly you will need to get the hair cut right. Straight cut bob or lob with the trademark hair clips.

The long faux fur jacket.

The loafer shoes

The right clothing include tennis dresses , pleated midi skirts. You see were we are going.

Top hold tote bag

And you can’t forget the black eye pencil to complete the look.

There you have it. The very trending Margot Tenenbaum inspired look.

A-Z A/W trends 2015 – Look no hands !

The designers have gone the extra mile to emphasis long sleeves with bell cuffs and balloon sleeves.
As a tall women long sleeves are sooo hard to come by. I am so ready to embrace this trend.
More so as temperature drops my fingers need as much concealing as possible.

I say Yaaaassss to longer sleeves.

A-Z A/W trends 2015- Elegance

So its time to pull out your pretty blouse and cashmere cardigans.
It can be difficult to maintain femininity in such a male dominated society. However, pencil shirts and leather glove are a good way to start.

My absolute favourite is this look from Peter PilottoΒ  The detail on that blouse is everything

image

I can’t help but notice that all these lovely blouses are worn with A-line skirts.

Stay tuned for trend ‘F’ tomorrow.

A-Z A/W trends 2015 -Denim

Denim is still doing its thing. It is more or less season-less but this season we are seeing more flared demin and demin on demin and demin skirts. It ties in perfectly with the 70s trend.

I shared some of the pics a little while back. This is the perfect time to pull out you flared jeans. Maybe not with sandals but you get my driftπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰.

I absolutely love the idea of a denim skirt. This would be my ideal look for a denim skirt below

image

If I could, I would dress my denim as seen below.

It’s seems very strange wearing flared denim after having lived in skinny jeans for so long. Have you switched to Flares yet ?
