A well spent week in Dubai, so bitter-sweet! As promised the photos of my adventures in Dubai! It was a blast so I’ll break down my highlights for each day one at a time. Pre-arrival It was so hectic! We arrived at our boarding gate 5 minutes before our flight was to leave. All of…
Hi-Low
Welcome, welcome back. You made it. I have a really good feeling about 2015 and it makes me nervous thinking about it but 2014 was a year of discovery and really deciding what direction I wanted Miss LAJA to go in. Yes, she’s still evolving but I believe that now, there’s a lot more…
LAJAlights of 2014
In a nutshell… 2014 was a really exciting year for myself and my site as things were created and things also kinda fell apart. One of the very first ones was my trip to France where I spent six gorgeous weeks and it was simply amazing. If you know me, you’ll know I love the…
This Season
Merry Christmas, everyone! How did you spend yours? I went to church early in the morning and got back to do some serious cooking and and of course, we entertained some visitors. Quite a lot of work and I passed out with exhaustion at the end of the day but all in all, it was…
Kente
Greetings from the villagee! I can’t believe it’s already Christmass! I am spending mine with my family and extended family in my village in Delta State. I haven’t been back in about four years or so and it hasn’t changed all that much. I really enjoy my stay here because it’s cold and there…
Scarlet
Hmm, you guys don’t understand how struggle-some the internet here has been since I arrived. Yupp, I am back home in 9ja and while I’m happy to be back, the wi-fi has been flogging somebody low key. Ugghh. On the very, very bright side I came back to this dress I didn’t pick up the…
Sighting: Godi Godar
Woop woop! Another cool sighting with a different twist! Meet Godi Godar, founder of GOConsciousEarth from the Democratic Republic Of Congo (DRC). He came to talk about story, his culture and his works in my french class. I know, I seem to meet really interesting figures in my French class. Cheers to more interesting people…
AfroBiker Chic
Yup, your very own African, biker babe. I would have said “Okada babe” since that’s the unofficial term for motorcycles in Nigeria but chaie, it’ll just kill the vibe but whichever one resonates with you… To each his own. Hahaha, now I can’t stop laughing at the thought! I love how this outfit mixes different…
LAJAdin
You’re probably wondering what is the meaning of this title. I know, I know but don’t these harem pants remind you of Aladin? Kinda? Not really? I like to think so, hehe!I decided to switch up this iro blouse I wore here and give it a different twist. Again, with the hat and gloves because…
Bold Shoulders
This outfit (actually the ankara jacket) has me feeling like Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga combined because of the bold shoulders and the gloves. Accurate, maybe or nah? I love how it goes perfectly with my Fulfill Jewelry earrings and necklace. Woop woop! Plus, I can’t seem to get enough of matte, red lips this…
