Gosh, I’m not even going to explain why I’m wearing orange again. *closes eyes and runs away* This outfit was such a no brainer. I pulled it together so quickly, I was rather shocked. I guess I had gotten so used to battling my clothing on how best to combine them. These two pieces…
Gele Chronicles: Before Sunset
Today’s gele chronicles is inspired by this lovely ankara blouse and these lovely orange earrings that remind me of the time right before sunset… Golden hour. This lip color is my new favorite this summer. I’ve been wearing it way too much. I’m glad I finally found a burgundy lipstick that suits my skin…
Gold Rush
And once again, we’re back to the orange obsession. Happy Wednesday, stunner! I hope you’re having a swell week. I have been waiting the longest time to style this stunning ankara top.

Ika Adage #12: Eyes

I talk to myself sometimes a lot and yes, I’ve been caught on several occasions. Eekk! Some call it meditation, some reflection but whatever your label preference, I…
Dainty
Hello and Happy New Month! Here’s a quick and simple outfit I wore a few days back. Despite the super hot summer, I have been enjoying wearing high-cut clothing.

Next Level
Last Saturday was my brother’s graduation, yay! He officially finished from Admiral Farragut in Florida *sobs*, so proud of his hairy, bone-head. It was a swell day, we took lots of pictures and had lunch in a lovely restaurant in Lowes Don CeSar. It was soo pretty and the food was yummaayyy! I kept…
Secrets
Secrets. Because we all have them. This is just a fun project where I tied a head wrap and decided to try a different type of photography. I won’t bore you with all the geeky details, but I basically did the opposite of what I normally do so yes, the pictures are purposely made…
