Travel diaries -Cold shoulders meets Wide leg trousers

This is probably summer 2016’s hottest trend . I could not get enough of it this holiday.

I pair my cold shoulder top with my printed palazzo wide leg trousers.
I was absolutely over dressed for the trek today but I sure looked good while doing it.

It was a victorious moment when I made it to the top of the acropolis.
The views made it all worth while.

I swept my hair to the side to show off my statement earrings. I hope to write a blog post statement earring so keep an eye out for it.

Travel diaries – Pink Skater dress

I figured that I should share what I wore to the beach since I did not leave the hotel in my swimsuit.

I find that skater dresses make pretty good cover ups.
They are great as add ons to beach wear yet very wearable when not at the beach too.

I am always pleasantly suprised at how flattering and cute this dress is.
This time I teamed it with pink flatforms and my flower headband.
Apparently I looked like a real Greek Goddess.
If your thinking Athena the goddess of wisdom then I will take it as a compliment.

Travel diaries – Paisley print swimsuit

I have really missed going for swims. I am a huge fan of Evans swimwear. Maybe I am partly biased because all the swimwear is fitted on me. Regardless… I just don’t think Evans get the credit they deserve at times .
I wore the paisley print swimsuit from Evans clothing.Ā Ā  The halterneck on this style is very flattering . More than anything else I like the fact that this one piece swim suit looks like a two peice . šŸ˜‹tricked yašŸ˜‹.

Travel diaries- Bardot with jeans

As blazing hot as it is in the day times, the evenings are very chilled and breezy.
Unfortunately I didn’t pack much cover ups.
However, I think that Bardot tops are a good way of serving some shoulder sexynessssss.Ā 
I wore my Bardot bodies with skinny jeans.Ā  Simple and yet stylish.

Sadly my feet have been swollen from the heat and the flight… flats sandals and sliders are the only things that fit.

Travel diaries – Lady in Red

The colour red is such a bold and statement colour. I think it requires lots of confidence to wear because you will most definitely get lots of stares.

I normally have my unbothered hat on while on holiday. My motto is that I will be gone in a few weeks or days so “what the heck!”

image

image

Before I share my outfit, I just wanted to show off my makeup skills.😜.
I have literally just touched down and everything is already glowing.Ā  This natural sun light is great for selfies but also used the Live Love make up bronze palette.

image

image

This gorgeous off the shoulder maxi dress was take from my mother’s closet. I loved it at first sight and just had to have it. The colour is very eye catching. It’s totally on tend and the thin straps mean you don’t have to worry about the dress rolling off your shoulders.

The frills on this dress is very flattering and great for hiding my problem areas

image

I decided to tie a knot on the hem of this dress because it’s not quiet the right length for my tall frame. But when I like am item, IĀ  go for it and just make it work.
I believe am working it! Hopefully it’s not too obvious either šŸ˜†.

Airport outfit styles

Happy new month and welcome to June. I am still stunned at how quickly we have come to midway through the year. June can be regarded as the official beginning of the summer ( well… at least in my mind it is). With the summer comes holidays and travel plans.
And here we are … discussing airport fashion.

What type of flyer are you?Ā  Are you part of the glam squad with your high heels and 4 wheeled cases ? Or are you a fashion forward first class flyer. Maybe your more of a tailored and polished traveller.

I have definitely noticed a change in my airport fashion. More and more , I have decided to put comfort at the fore front of my dressing. While I have no issues with flying, it’s a no brainer that being comfort can and will make the flying experience more enjoyable and it will put you at ease.

I recently wore the Tall Lara Space Dye Lounge Top & Jogger Set from Boohoo. I was thrilled to learn that Boohoo stock a Tall range. I was even more pleased when the items fit well.

This outfit was perfect for all the airport hassle. Stomping up and down the escalators, bending and lifting suitcases .
I even relatively comfortable while slightly squashed in my economy seat.
Matching sets a great for that trendy sporty luxe look. Pair with trainers or plimsolls for that athleisure finish.

Happy holidaying. Feel free to let me know what your ultimate airport outfit would be.
In the mean time… here’s mine.

Travel Diaries – Hard Rock Cafe -Lagos

So just the other evening I had the pleasure of experiencing the brand new Hard Rock Cafe in Lagos.
Omg! Can I just say the ambience was amazing. People milling around, friendly staff and music in the background.
I almost felt as if I had been transported out of Lagos to a different city.Ā 

I liked the fact that there was a good mix of people at this location ( lots of Expatriates). It was full but not too busy, so great for meeting people and networking ( if people on Lagos stop being so stush).

We sat upstairs and had a great view of the stage and the downstairs area.
Plenty of staff and we were seated relatively quickly.

image

Unfortunately the service was a little slow but the cocktails made up for it. I ordered the electric blue and it was superb.
The pricing of then cocktails ranged from 2300 naira to 4500 naira.Ā 
Personally, I thought it was a bit pricey for Nigeria but what do I know.😐

I ordered the prawn fajitas. It’s arrived late and the guacamole was off. 😳😳😳

image

We were captivated my the deserts as the staff served the neighbouring table so we ordered our bundle of calories.

image

image

This picture does not do this desert any justice. It was HUGE.
Perfect for sharing.

To finish things off we had some onstage entertainment.

Overall, a lovely evening. Lovely vibes, interesting catchups and great company.
Would I got again…. YES

See you soon.✌✌✌&ā¤ā¤ā¤

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.
