Debuting this lovely ankara jacket that I’ve had for a while but hadn’t figured out the best way to match it up. The day finally came and I kept it simple with the classic black and gold combo. The weather had been really bipolar so I was glad it was warm that day. Cold…
Ika Adage #7: Shadows
I’d like to see you try though. Don’t worry I’ll wait here till you’re done. 3,2,1… This adage isn’t challenging you to literally do the impossible but if you tried, A for effort but… You can’t outrun your shadow. Sorry. As long as you’re in contact with any sort of light and it casts on…
Colored Maze
Sadly, it was quite cold during this shoot. I guess the cold is in a haste to make it’s presence known. NO, GO AWAY PLEASE! All in all, this ankara dress just has the perfect amount of class and my sunnies add the right amount of sass. Yes It really brightened up my day. Pun…
Gele Chronicles: Light Blue
Yes, blue again… I decided to do the all (light) blue version using a lighter gele as compared to this one here. I’m loving the lips especially for the fall. It’s just a lip pencil and clear lip gloss. Here I present to you another option for a gele look or if you’re simply looking…
Thoughts on Tyler Perry’s Temptation
That awkward moment when the coverphoto has nothing to do with the post… I just really love this photo. Anyhooo… I watched Tyler Perry’s Temptation quite a while back and it was good but quite predictable. I’m not here to give you a movie review but I found myself ranting on and on about different…
Spiked Stars
Finally, a crop top I can call my own…I am quite extremely elated, over joyed, excited and happy. I’ve been looking for the purr-fect basic black crop top and I must say, it wasn’t easy. Another thing was finding a way to style it so it didn’t look too vava-voom or too downplayed. And of…
Sighting: Chimamanda Adichie
So, I saw Chimanada Adichie…. twice in one day. One of the many reasons I LOVE DUKE. She came over [thanks for coming] to discuss her latest critically acclaimed novel Americanah which was the assigned summer read for the freshmen. Trust me, I learnt A LOT today not only from her but also from…
Transitions
I’m still holding on to summer. In my dictionary (and with the ridiculously hot weather lately), I’m pretty much not ready for fall. Till the weather proves otherwise, I will continue to hold on to my dreams of a longer summer and of course, bright colors. Not that fall’s gonna change it but who…
Reminising France…
Just some unrealeased photos from my 6 weeks in France… And mostly because I miss it like crazy and there’s a lot left ushared. Pictures like these remind me of why I love blogging so much. Enjoy… Le Sacre-Coeur… They just got married… Aww! Looks like I’m pouting so I might as well go with…
Ika Adage #6: Firewood
We all know how important firewood was (and still is) in the African culture. You could learn more background info from the fire adage. This adage applies to a lot of things in life from work to relationships etc but I’m going to relate it to school since well, it’s that time of the year….
