Pink Lips & Leopard Print

We were on our way to the cinema so I pulled on this animal print mini cardigan from H&M. In the two months that I have been out here in Dallas one thing is have learn is the weather is unpredictable, 90 degrees in one minuet and 40 degrees the next so I have learned to carry a cardigan everywhere

Well HEY there!!

Laughter is a medicine for life.

We were on our ways to the Cinema when babe decided to watch a movie indoor instead so I had to get a little more comfortable with this lovely men shirt-like/blouse from H&M 

I am absolutely in love with this lip color....I have tried almost all shades of pink and its always too light, dark or too sharp but this is the perfect pink I love - NYC lip stick - Flirty #417

Ankara meets Chiffon

Hey there my lovely friends!! Hope everyone is having a fabulous week. I wore the outfit below a few days back and I was totally feeling super girly. Anyone that knows me pretty well know I'm a tomboy at heart but loves fashion. This outfit was for one of those event when I did not know weather to dress all traditional (Ankara) or western so I pulled out this dress my aunt made for me....It is quiet long but I paired it with a pair of Zara's heel and off to my event.

I'm a pump girl so it felt different walking in these shoes, but I was in love with them at first sight so I had to get them

                                       

These earrings from XXI are a fun piece to wear

Have a lovely day Bellas!!

Black and White

 Hey hey hey my beautiful bloggers, I totally apologize for going hiatus without a notice. I sincerely  miss the place and too excited to be back to reading and posting on blogville. In the last few months I been super busy with relocating to a new state, new job, and searching for a new grad. school. It has been one major transition because I am so not use to the full time professional career lifestyle and also living in a city. where I totally do not know a soul. On the bright side I have been meeting new people and the culture at my work is fabulous so I am loving it.


Let me not bore you all with any more of my hiatus reasons. Below is my outfit fro last Sunday. I was totally in love with it because it is a very playful outfit and I could not stop swirling in it.

XOXO

First Sunday

 Hey hey hey everyone! Finally made it to my first post of 2013. I hope everyone had a Fabulous holiday seasons and getting back to work/school smoothly.  Thank you all for all the support in 2012, you guys are all amazing :) I'm really excited for 2013 cause I know many great things will be happening and major improvement on here too. For the first Sunday of the year I wore the outfit below. The weather was extremely cold so layering it up was the greatest option I had. Paired up my pleated maxi skirt with an orange/peachy blazer. I am in love with my Oasap bag from one of my recent mini haul and I just needed to use it on Sunday and I've been carrying it everywhere all week long.

Close up of the braid/story behind it

 These braids were actually my boo's idea. I have been wearing my hair out for about 3 weeks  now and did not know what to do with it, so jokingly he suggested how about braiding all my hair back. At first I was like certainly not but after dealing with styling my hair a few more days I ran off to a friend to braid this. I added a pack of hair extention hair to give it more volume and voila I came out loving it and Ose been the really natural guy he is, he love it and now he does not want me to take it out claiming he can now see my face very well haha

Christmas in Red + Yellow

Merry Merry Christmas Everybody!

So bless to be able to celebrate yet another Christmas with my family an of course celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ my one and first love. I wore this Hollandis print dress to church today and definitely could not go without my gele (Headtie).

Now I saw this dress somewhere online a few months ago and basically fell in love with it so I had to get one made for my self.

 

Mixing different print is definitely in style and you can't go wrong with colors that plays well with each other. You can choose to go with different print like I did here or same print in different colors. 

 

My Gele (heatie) skills becoming on point :)

 



My rule to a sleeveless Dress is always have a crop jacket or cover up added to it this you to wear it to church or special events at any time

The original dress I fell in love with

Let it snow!!

We had another mini snow this past weekend and I sure can say I'm missing the snow a little bit already. Looking back 4-5 years ago New England snow used to be massive and off course 6-7 snow days a year in on campus was always excited, great days to catch up on sleep and some homework. I have actually stop paying attention to snow warnings lately so was shocked when everywhere was white after service so I managed to take a few picture in this ankara dress marked as one of my favorite.

This Picture came out blurry but it was one of my favorite, kodak moment perhaps

 My braids are finally out and I must say I definitely wore those braids to the max. They should be back again  in February most likely and  for now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. On an attempt to relaxing my hair 2-4 times a year, I had not relax my hair since July so it was very hard to deal with and I can say I'm loving the new length it has grown *happy dance*

Christmas is right around the corner and I am more than excited for all the festivities happening this weekend.. (Watch out for plenty Ankara posts). There would be Christmas without Christ, and I won't be here without Christ, for by His grace I am what I am today.

What are you doing this Christmas??

Print Love

Hello lovely bloggers hope you are all enjoying the holiday season. So for this rest of the year I have decided to incorporate prints in my outfits so anything from casual to a more formal wear will be print. For today's post I got this dress made by a friend for my graduation party earlier this year and have not worn it ever since so for thanksgiving Sunday I decided to dig it out of my closet and since its a tube dress I paired it up with a chic blazer. I wanted to be able to wear the dress casual or formal so the bottom of the dress is detachable

Detached the bottom of the dress.
