Update and Natural Hair

        Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well. I have been super busy, and a tiny bit stressed. I still work fulltime and started a stats course online, yes i know what was I thinking. I just submitted my first assignment just 20mins ago, and feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, but not for long because the next one is due next week. Anyways, just wanted to post another outfit. Its easy, and is all about layering for the cold winter months. I'm basically wearing a black long seelve top, a navy blue sweater, a scarf and a light jacket. However, the printed scarf is the main focus.

Also, if you have not already noticed i am wearing my natural hair, which never really happens very often. This particular day was my wash day, i took my hair out of my mini twists, and thought what the heck. Details, about my natural hair coming soon.

 Outfit Information : Jacket: Urban Planet, Navy sweater :Thrifted, scarf: girft (thanks sherisse), leggings: Aritzia, wedged shoes: Aldo, Bag: Nigeria

It's Fall and say hi to army green

     
                      Hey Guys, so this is yet another outfit post, i usually find these kind of posts the easiest to do than anything else. However, I will have a post about my natural hair journey real soon, but in the meantime, enjoy. I must say one of my favourite items  right now are my army green jackets. I love army green, because it works so well with so many colours, and textures. It's definitely a piece that you will use very often. I actually have two of them, one is long sleeves and the other is short sleeves. This is the short sleeves one pictured above and below. So, remember, when styling yourself keep it simple, and to your comfort level. Enjoy

Goodbye Summer!!

         Hey everyone, so I was just laying around enjoying my short time off, when a thought just came to me. It's mid September, and it's starting to freeze out there! Therefore, no more summer, now onto fall. At first I was sad and not very amused, but a part of me missed the cool days. I love fall weather and fall fashion. Therefore, I guess this time of the year is bitter sweet for me.
             Now, about 2 weeks ago we had some okay weather and i decided to attempt perhaps for the last time to wear something summery. So, i say this goodbye summer, we shall miss you.

Outfit Information: cardigan: spoof, lace knit: modestar, romper & hat:blue notes, Flats: Aldo, Bag: brought back from Nigeria

Pretty Colours

         Hey everyone, this is an outfit post of what i wore to church the other day, I had no vision, just kind of put it together. The yellow dress is one of my many favourite pieces because of its versatility. It can be worn alone, layered, dressed up, dressed down, and can be worn in the fall.

One year older!!! Giving many thanks to God

        Hey everyone, this is another outfit post! I'm so sorry that i have been slacking on posting to the blog. I've been busy with my full time job, and with some other part time projects. However, no worries I will try my best to keep it coming.

      Now onto some important news, I'm 25 now!! I turned 25 on the 25th of August, and let me tell you this, i'm still in denial. I feel like life is flying by, and i 'm not ready for it to go by this qucikly. Oh gosh, i'm so old!!
      This year I decided to keep the celebrations low key, nothing but dinners. Therefore, I will like to take the time to thank everyone for the b- day wishes, the girls at work for surprising me with a cake during our night shift, and all my other budds who treated me out. Anyways, this was what  I wore for one of the dinner outings. It was simple, comfortable, and modest.

DIY Remixed

          Hey Everyone, so this is a remix of my so called  DIY project post that I made a couple of months ago, here is the link (DIY). Anyways, a week ago I was in American Apparel and saw a turquoise coloured sheer chiffon maxi skirt. I really loved it, but there was no way I was going to spend that kind of money on something that i was convinced that I could make. So, I set out to make my own, I found the basic instructions on a DIY blogger named A Pair and Spare blog page, here is her link (maxi skirt). I basically followed the same concept but modified it to suit my own needs. In the end after many episodes of frustration, and many attempts to give up, the end result came out great. However, I would like to give a big thank you to a co-worker who helped me out alot by finishing off the skirt for me. I was so upset because  when it came down to getting ready to sew the skirt, my sewing machine decided to stop working. Therefore, she saved me alot of hand stitching, which saved me alot of time. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I hope you guys enjoy the post  and like the finished product.  

I used only 1 meter of fabric, you may need 2 meters to be on the safe side

Next,  lay out the fabric and  folded over the top of the fabric to fit the elastic band , and pin. Make sure that there is  enough space that you can feed that same elastic through. Use one of the long sides of the fabric to do this. Remove your elastic guide. Now  head to the sewing machine to sew the pinned area or hand stitch

After sewing the pinned area, add a saftey pin to one of  the ends of the elastic band that you have cut to fit your waist

 feed the elastic band through and gather the fabric along the way as shown. Then sew together both ends of the elastic band, the back side of the skirt, and hem the botton. Then your done!!!

           Here is the finished product, i'm wearing a black bodycon skirt underneath because the skirt is quite sheer. Total cost 15 dollars to make. Here is the orginal skirt from AA http://store.americanapparel.net/RSA0320.html

Outfit Information: Hat: blue notes, necklace: fairweather, corset top:modestar ( i think), belt: forever 21, skirt:DIY, sandles: urban planet

Outfit total: less than 70 bucks from top to bottom
