Mad March

"Mad March" was the front page headline of one of the evening newspapers last week. Yes, weather wise, it has been extremely mad! Earlier in the month, it seemed like spring came early, beautiful sunlight + warmth for more than a day! lol... but then a few days later, heavy snow was upon us. I remember a day when there was sunlight + rain + hailstones + snow ALL in one day, just crayy... but then again it wouldn't be Britain if the weather was normal. So I'll just soldier it and endure till maybe... I relocate to a perfect weather city. Where will that be you ask; that's not for me to decide, ask my oga at the top! dazall (lool private joke with my fellow Nigerians, if you want in, just google "oga at the top"). So on one of the sunny sundays, I wore a wool stripy midi length dress that I made. I realised later that the dress would be more ideal for the colder days, with tights on of course. I'd like to take time to thank my sis who is EVER willing & patient enough to help take my pictures :D( lol ok maybe not always but hoping this helps :p) & my friend Tayo who lets me use his camera occasionally (P.S if you need to hire any photography/videography gear, he has some pretty cool stuff, just ask me :) )












Thanks for reading :)

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
