style crush - Miss Jack !

And so I am pleased to have another style crush post yayyyyyy.Today I feature Sotonye aka Miss Jack whose style game is uber fab! I conclude that she can look no wrong in moi eyes. I personally love her shoe and hair game. Enjoyyyyyyyyy the pics.




Here is what she had to say about what style is to her
"To me, style is personal; It is an expression of oneself. Style could be a definition of sorts or it could simply be a reflection of how a person feels at that moment, or for that period of time. I am aware that there are various categories of style; who makes these things up anyways? If I were to ever define my style, it would be 'a smart look & clean lines'. But there are days when I feel like breaking out of those clean lines and stepping out of my comfort zone. Those are the days when my style fails to be 'the usual' and becomes 'erratic'. Yes, that is what style is to me, personal, infinite and ever so often, erratic"

 I know you loved viewing this post :) totally fab right?. For more on Miss Jack's fab style, check out her blog Miss jack says. I promise you, you will be hooked! lol
Thank you Sotonye! xoxo

My fav scents 2011.

WOW! It has been so long I blogged . How is everyone doing? Christmas is around the corner and all I can say is yayyyyyyy!!! I am super excited because I get to do something different this year (can hardly wait).
As the title of the post says, I am sharing with you guys my favorite scents for the year 2011.
I love perfumes and can stay in a perfume shop for hours.It is always magical in there and all my troubles disappear  for a bit! :). I tend to like flirty, playful and juicy fragrances, but this year I discovered what 'mature scents' can do to boost your confidence level.
These are some of the scents I loved using this year.
This has a whimsical scent, at the same time very sophisticated. lovesss it
I have always felt Elizabeth Arden scents are for the mature woman. This would have heads turn when you walk in :)
i loveeee this one! playfull, sweet, girly, happy all the nice words can be used to describe this
This would also turn heads, very bold, defined and sweet, used this over and over again! still not tired of it.

This new CK scent is not like any of the other CK fragrances, be not deceived by the name, this is my confidence booster scent.Not for the faint heart if you ask me..:)


i will love this scent till eternity! I swear! I love apples and this is delicious as well :)
this scent will grow on you.





Please share with me your favorite scents/fragrances, I would love to give them a try in 2012 .
I am super excited about the 'SANTA BABY' challenge and giveaway by SnS of forstylesake.blogspot.com,. you can check it up here. It is going to be super fun and I cant wait to see the different entries. I will be participating in it and seriously hoping I can pull it off. I want to go daring and bold! hehehehe.

what to do?

My mum bought me this Simply Vera Wang dress. I do not  really like it because I still do not understand the fit.The dress is my size but there is just something about it that makes me feel it could sit better.I however have refused to make any alterations/adjustments just yet. Another thing I find hard is getting the right accessory to use with it, because of the detail around the neckline, it feels wrong putting on a neck piece and at the same time my neck looks and feels bare without one.
I wore this to church and got compliments, so I guess it isn't that bad! :). What do you guys think? Alter or not, neck piece or no neck piece?

Random

Does anybody suffer from PMS (premenstrual syndrome/stress)? I have come to hate a certain time every month because of how terrible I get to feel. Apart from having mood swings ( I could care less about anything at this period), I also have a number of accompanying symptoms like cravings , fatigue , weight gain, bloating and tender breasts! I always count days and pray that it passes quickly and hope it delays in the next coming month! :(.
On the sunny side of life, I recently enrolled in a ZUMBA class yipeeeeeeeeeee !!!. working out has never been so fun! I dance and dance, and work it! lol. ZUMBA is fun and even PMS has got nothing on it! We get to dance to all genres of music, Latin, Hip hop, blues etc..Awesome I tell you. Imagine Kat Deluna, Tiwa, lil Wayne, Adele, Flavor and many more. Am getting my salsa, krump and even KOMOLE groove on! thanks to my BURDIE  for introducing me to ZUMBA. If you are bored with your workout routine, try ZUMBA.

i look so bloated here! HORMONES!!!

Ankara fever is everywhere, and i am still stuck on Ankara accessories. I recently got me some :)

beautiful hair piece


bangles :)
Have a lovely weekend guys! xoxo

TANK TOP BUTTON CHALLENGE

Hey everyone, it has been so long :(. I feel like I have not posted in a year! Anyways, hope everyone is doing great.
So, I recently bought this tank top and it had these buttons sewn around the neckline that definitely gave it a different look, and then I realized that I never would have bought the tank top except for the fact that it had the button detail. I started to count how many tanks I had and why I never thought of being creative with them? All the girl who sold the tank to me did was add buttons and voila! a  simple tank top became more appealing to the eye. Here is what my tank top looks like.




 
I am throwing out this challenge to everybody. You definitely all have a tank top you can get creative with, why don't we all try it out? I think this will be fun, I really look forward to you guys taking up the challenge :). So, lets get started with what to do...

TASK
  •  GET A TANK TOP
  •   DESIGN IT WITH BUTTONS JUST LIKE THE ONE SEEN ABOVE
  •   TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR TANK TOP AND SEND TO uduak26@yahoo.com
  •    PLEASE ADD YOUR BLOG LINK IN THE E-MAIL
I will upload entries that are being sent here on my blog page and we can all applaud and judge on how creative we got with using just buttons :).
P.S : Feel free to do a post on your re-vamped tank top, after all it is your design! ;) .Thank you all in advance for participating.
LOVE U GUYS.xoxo

STYLE CRUSH : MISS SHALLY :)

So, i am really excited about today's style crush feature,I am sure you would be too when your done with this post and visiting her blog.
Do you guys know anyone who just seems to get it right with their appearance and do so effortlessly? That is how i percieve Shally's style. Always on point with the right amount and mix of accessories, never too much. Okay I will just shut up now and let you guys enjoy.
So here is what Shally had to say about style  :

"Style is like a person's trademark, it is something you can easily identify with a person...it's not just what you wear, its how you wear it, its like an art...What makes style special is the fact that it is individual, always differing from one person to the other...




My Style in words would be--- girly/ladylike, sophisticated and classy with my own twist...Ultimately, apart from looking good, I must feel comfortable and confident in whatever I'm wearing, I love to stand out with my style but I'd never go overly crazy trying to look different."







 I know you enjoyed viewing this post :), Dont you just love her sense of style???
I think Shally is like a modern day Audery Hepburn. CHECK OUT HER BLOG  For stylesake FOR MORE!

PS: thank you Shally for letting me share our awesome sense of style. xoxo.

Peter Pan

Peter Pan collars are trending this season and I personally love the fact that it gives a dainty, feminine look to one's outfit. 60's inspired but so very stylish. Whatever look you want to create, you can with this collar. From sophisticated glam to laid back and geeky.
