I took these pictures at the Garden of Luxembourg, another breath taking place and it was crazy hot! You don’t know the amount of joy that filled my heart when I found myself wishing I didn’t wear trousers today. Yay, for warm weather in Paris! Now you would think this is a beach because of…
What France Taught Me About Nigeria
I have been doing a lot of touristy things in France (of course) and if there’s one thing that has stood out to me, it’s the abundance of museums, gardens and historical monuments here, there’s just so much to see and do! The amount of effort, time and money put into preserving these monuments is…
2 Nights In Provence
I was recently in Provence and it was a very different experience from life in Paris. For one thing, I was able to wear my usual bright colors without feeling awkward or out of place. It was my first time taking the TGV (Le train grand vitesse) and that thing is crazy fast but you…
BreathofFreshAir (Provence)
I was in Avignon, Prove last weekend and I very much appreciated the sunny weather in there. The not-so-summer weather in Paris had tired me out and I surprisingly found myself cringing at brightly colored pieces since people wore mostly darks and neutrals. Yes, even summer. Now you can imagine that was a huge issue…
Les fleures des Tulleries…
I find it to be a lovely coincedence that I wore a flowery dress and also visited the very beautiful Jardin des Tulleries… Will you believe it was already past 8pm when these photos were taken? It’s truly amazing! Yes, it’s quite cold here but the longer days make up for it! I could really…
Beautiful Findings.
I did a lot of “flâneries” last week meaning “walking without a goal or sense of direction” (something the French do a lot) so I could familiarize myself with the surrounding. I was able to get some nice photos of amazing findings! Big and bright things(meaning everything in Paris) tend to catch my attention so…
LaceLeather&Ankara
It was a nice day in Paris so after a nice, long rest, I decided to go “par la Seine” for my photos. Time to start the day in full swing. It was a long, long day (read about it here) and this ensemble was parfait for all the running around I did but hey,…
First few days in Paris
La Seine If you’ve been following my Facebook and Instagram page (@miss_laja), you would know I am now in Paris and I couldn’t be anymore excited. I was so nervous at the airport because this is my first time here and I had to practice my french skills in a French country. Talk about pressure…
Hair Talk: Senegalese Twists
I did these Senegalese Twists with wine highlights. Yum! I actually have three packs of X-pression extensions in 3 different colors; black, brown and wine. I had been craving this type of braids (actually braids in general) really bad. Unlike my beloved kinky twists, these cannot be washed. In fact any contact with water…
Confessions of A Rising Sophomore
Source I’m officially done with my first year in college and what can I say? It was amazing… Amazingly quick. The fact that the first year went by so quickly makes four years of college look really short. At least as of now. My first year was filled with the highs and the lows but…
