12 Days of Christmas - Day 9

On the ninth day of Christmas, WF brings to you... nine & more hostesses that served at a wedding anniversary celebration.

Back in the summer, I had the privilege of styling the bridesmaids & hostesses for my pastors' 20th year wedding anniversary celebration. The colour theme was purple and lime green which really is a beautiful combination when it's done well. As I already intended to put the bridesmaids in purple, I decided on a monochrome for the hostesses but with a hint of lime green. The result was a polka dot pocket dress with a lime green sash :)

Ho ho ho Merry Christmas!

12 Days of Christmas - Day 6

On the sixth day of Christmas, WF brings to you a 60's inspired cocktail dress.

The style in the 50's and 60's has to be my favorite fashion era. Full skirts, volume and pin up curls are what dreams are made of! The only reason why I watch Mad Men. Here's one of my muses in my interpretation of the 60's. She wore it to a wedding earlier in the year.

Ho ho ho Merry Christmas!

The Yellow Series #3

"All things bright and beautiful..." yea you all know how the song goes. It's the perfect soundtrack to this post, as I bring you beautiful scenery, a beautiful girl and of course a beautiful dress! lol

Everyone meet Ms Yinka Adebayo, one of my favourite girlies and most defo one of my favourite bodies to work with. As annoying as she can be, we kinda make the perfect match in that I really do appreciate my work when she's wearing it. It's nearly always perfect fit each time. During the summer, she asked me to make a few dresses for her travels to the US as she had a few weddings to attend. This yellow dress was one of them. I decided to stray away from the usual body con that she likes. I used some black lace detail to enrich the dress. According to her, it was a hit amongst the wedding guests! :) As usual, I wasn't able to get pics from the day, hence we did a lil photoshoot after church one sunday. I hope you like it too.

This cute little dog named Olivia, came along with its owner as we were shooting and decided to be in it. I don't do dogs AT ALL, as a matter of fact, I don't do animals in general! lol but I managed to stay sane throughout this session making sure I kept my distance. 

There you have it guys! :) I look forward to making Yinka's wedding dress when the time comes! woop! As usual, leave a comment, let me know your thoughts, would you wear it? yay or nay?

Oh yea one more thing, if you are free this friday night or just desperately seeking a touch from God, come down to London EXCEL centre for the Festival Of Life. I'll defo be there, so if you wanna say hello, hi, wassup, feel free; or if you want me to lay hands, pass on the anointing , gladly! loool just kidding oo. But yea more info here: http://festivaloflife.org.uk/

The Pink Wool Dress

Hi guys :) Autumn/Winter is quickly creeping on us and I'm so excited because of all the interesting and really pretty wool/knitwear fabrics that I've spotted in the shops! woop! I've got a few ideas in my head and I look forward to making my first outer jacket!

I found this really nice pink wool back in June and I couldn't resist. I decided to make a dress out of it for a 25th birthday mini concert. I didn't realise until the dress was all done and I was rocking out at the concert that I would get really warm in it. lol well duh? I should've known better. Regardless, I absolutely love this dress and I feel great in it. I'm generally not a big fan of pink, but I like the occasional hot pink shoes, hot pink lips, THIS hot pink dress and the pink (and yellow) diamond that I'd love to be in my engagement ring. Amen! :D :D

I wore the dress with a unique pair of shoes that I got at my big sis/friend Evelyn's beauty auction! Check out her blog here to get more info on the hottest beauty products around and of course to be informed about the next auction!! http://evelynlovesbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/   Sharing is Caring :)

I decided to wear the dress again to church last sunday as I didn't get the memo about the weather and I thought it'd be cold. This time around with tights. I must say, I prefer the look with no tights on. However, I plan to wear it some more in the colder months and I'd need to wear tights with it. I will most likely play down the shoes next time and let it match the tights so the dress is still statement. 

I particularly love the back of the dress. It adds more detail to such a simple style. 

I had to include this pic of my friend's beautiful son Az! mwah 

Hope you liked this post and thanks for spreading the word! Oh yea follow me on instragram - @Wuraf  :)
