Happy New Year

It's 2016! 

2015 was a great year and I thank God for all that happened last year and that I'm alive to see this new year with my family and loved ones as well. I pray we all have a great year ahead.

So as usual, here's a 2015 style recap!

Rainbow Recap

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The Lord bless you all and make you better this year than you were in 2014 in Jesus name, Amen.

First post of 2015, you'd expect me to count down my favourite looks from 2015. These aren't necessarily my top 5 favourite looks of 2014 but I love them all. Judging from these pictures it's safe to say I'm a skirtaholic. 

Skirts, skirts and more skirts please! 

And it won't stop in 2015, I like trousers as well but skirts have my heart.

The title of my last post for 2014 was "Within The Lines". I've always considered myself that sort of person, the introvert that "paints within the lines" always trying to be on the safe side. But sometimes it's ok to paint outside the lines or to think outside the box and get out of your comfort zone and I think that's one thing I need to try this year, get out of my comfort zone. 

I'm not one for new year resolutions, I think we should always strive to improve ourselves on a daily basis, waiting for the start of a new year to be a better you is just procrastination as it's worst. 

You my friend, have a case of severe laziness! 

Nails: Festive with Gold Glitter

Two Thousand And Fourteen

So this right here is my first blog post this new year and the first of many more to come. I didn't have new year resolutions in 2013 and I don't think I'm going to have any this year. I've had goals each month and each week of the passed year and if I was to do anything some way related to making new year's resolutions then I'd carry over the same habit into the new year. Maybe some of the same short term goals from last year and a few new ones but most of my long term goals have remained the same. I don't see why we should wait till the first of the year to make a firm decision to do or not to do something, it's never really made sense to me. Although I can see why people use the opportunity to do so, seeing the new year as a clean slate and changing things that need to be changed especially if you find it difficult to make changes through the year, but I find that I just don't like the idea the same way I just don't fancy fruit cake. Never have never will. I think we should all try to be better continuously rather than waiting a whole year to set goals and achieve them, that's what to-do lists are for and why deadlines are made.

This year I definitely want to keep regulating my spending, I think I've done a good job so far. It means I'll repeat outfits a lot but it also challenges me to recreate new outfits from the clothes I already have and have a tailor make something new or visiting my mum/sister's closet! Speaking of tailors, I'm looking for a good tailor with good prices here in Lagos! Home service would be asking too much nice as well! Lol
I definitely need more shoes, the staple black sandals and some other basic shoes and some flamboyant/fancy statement shoes as well. Think Sophia Webster, that's just art on feet! But the heels are really something else, way too thin for me. I've just realized I only wear 2% of my entire boring shoe collection mostly because of the heel height as well, I love my kitten heel, I'm in love with comfort!

I want to keep trying more trends, especially print on print! I haven't quite mastered the all white look but it's in the works. One trend I won't get tired of is a high waist bottom worn with a crop top, Love it! Can't get enough of it! Need more of it! I love my high waist pencil skirts and skater skirts a well. Another trend I NEED to get on is the new way of wearing iro and buba like a twist front dress. A couple of Nigerian designers have done their variation of it like Tiffany Amber, Eclectic by Sasha, Ejiro Amos Tafiri to name a few.

Thinking of working on a new header as well. I love the simplicity of what I have there now, but If you've noticed anything from visiting my blog it's that when it comes to headers I like to change things up a lot bit. Funny thing is I always come back to this same basic header with just black text on white background and no pictures! I'll keep you updated if anything comes up but for now let's enjoy simplicity.
In other none fashion/blog related news, I can't wait to get this NYSC year over and done with! Eh! This thing is just stressful and highly confusing, not to mention totally unnecessary.

Just thought I'd let you guys know a few of my plans this year, of course not all of them but I'm still believing God for progress in certain areas of my life as well, which include my personal relationship with God, it's a worthwhile journey and it never ends! Hope everyone enjoyed their new year celebration cuz I did, the 1st is also my dad's birthday but I ended up with a bit of food poisoning. I didn't eat much but I guess the little I ate got my tummy real upset! But I'm better now.
Have a great week ahead x

My Fave 2013 Outfits

It's the first day of 2014 on Tuesday and I'm happy that I've had a good run with 2013, I'm honestly ready for the new year and all that God has planned for me cuz 2013 was awesome and He was good to me. I know that God's been good to you if you are alive to read this post so please, be sure to thank Him amidst the merriment of the season. :)

Thanks to Him I got my first nephew Efe, I graduated from Uni, got a job and survived NYSC camp, met the most amazing person (hello sir!), bought my dream bag and let go of some unwanted baggage as well. I've learnt so much and grown a lot more this passed year and by His grace I'm only going to get better because He is not done with me. I might be leaving somethings out but I want to thank God for the most important thing of all, Life.

If I didn't have life I wouldn't even have this blog and lovely followers like you who visit my blog so often even when I'm clearly slacking or when life gets in the way, and I say thank you again! 

I thought of doing this post a while ago and I never really worked on it but my friend Sade of inmysundaybest had like the best layout and she inspired me to finally do it! These aren't all my outfits from 2013 but I'd say they are my fave ones hence the post title, and looking back I'd say they were pretty decent so it's safe to say I'm proud of my 2013 style choices. I'm no stylist but I think I've nailed it when it comes to looking stylish but still being comfortable and the best thing is I'm still growing and my style is still evolving.

I hope you enjoy this post and have an awesome new year celebration as 2013 comes to an end! xo

Daddy's Birthday!

My dad's birthday is on the 1st of January and usually we go for lunch with a few family members, he isn't one to pull crowd and he's always reminded us that family should come first and they should be your best friends. It was a lot of fun and there were a lot of pictures, A LOT but I tried to select a few. Saw JayJay Okocha as well but I didn't get to take a close up picture so I took one from far like the Sasha one lol. My outfit really wasn't planned, something happened to my original outfit so I had to wear this but I don't think it looked so bad. It's definitely brighter than my usual cuz I usually think bright bottoms make me look bigger but maybe I'll ignore that for now... we'll see how that goes.
