What I did during my M.I.A period prt.2

Part two of what I got up to during my absence from blogville.

Adaeze's 21st Birthday, we had dinner this amazing Chinese restaurant, called Feng Sheng, in Camden. It was beautiful. And we spent the rest of the evening in a VIP room at club Movida. It was an amazing night, she went all in and out. And I was glad to celebrate with her even though I was not feeling very well. 

My Don Don's Birthday lol.. Donna, she is in blue. I love this crazy chick, we went to the Lounge, WC1H London. We had so much fun. I am a rubbish bowler but I got lucky. The staff were so polite and friendly. Everybody that was there was just lovely and the atmosphere was so relaxed and calming, so you feel good to just have fun and not care. 

We are definitely gonna go there again.

I have done alot of things during my MIA, like going to the Miguel's concert, and going out to eat. But i was not able to document all of them in photographs. I hope yall can forgive me. 

Let me know what you got up to in your posts. I will be visiting.

What I did during my M.I.A period prt.1

Heey Blog world, sorry for my recent MIA. I gave you lot reasons, I am sorry, but I cannot promise to be fully committed this time round because I have so much work to do. And since its my last year, I am doing my best to achieve the best. So you have to bear with me. :)

In other news, this is a few of the things I have been up to during my MIA period :D

This is another cloth I made from Ghana, absolutely love it. I have a kente band at waist *I'm all for kente this year* I love handmade cloths, but I get tired with the normal way they make it, so I provide some sketches to the tailor and they make it how I want it. :)

The three pictures are from Britain & Irelands Next Top Model Live. It was on the 30th October 2011, I went with my ex-coblogger Zateesha, we had such a fun time. I wore the Black Dress for some company who rent designer dresses. It was a beautiful experience. The catwalk show was very fun. those gorgeous half naked male dancers *faints* lol.. And Bluey Robinson, is such a good performer Loved Loved Loved him.

A family friends wedding in early November 2011,  I wore this handmade tailored dress. The Material is called Kente, it is a traditional cloth from Ghana, the material itself is hand woven, I used two different types to make the dress. thus there is a contrast between the back, and the front, but i didn't take any back shot, Sorry :(.

Hope you are all doing awesome, and doing your work, and being good. 

Have a great day, week, month

I Must Confess...

Even though, I said, I was going to watch my spending, you can guess I could not keep that promise to myself. 

I have perfectly good excuse, and that is, I deserved it, I deserve to spend my own hard earned money, I worked for it. (that just made me feel so much better)

As you all know, wedges are back, they were most popular in the 1940's but these days they are everywhere. 

Sadly I only owned two pair of these 'must haves'. I already have, a red pair and a black pair.

Accompanying the floral prints released this spring, I needed a more fun, floral and natural looking pair.

Today I went into Matalan and look at what I found

£18.00

£16.00

I am so happy with these purchase. I like Matalan shoes, they never hurt my feet, they are so comfy and the prices are awesome too.

'I am invincible, Like An Abandoned School I have no Principle'

So, I am always talking about what I would love to have in my wardrobe, but I have never shown you my wardrobe.  So I thought I would do a post on my room and the contents of my room.

This is the wardrobe that carries, My t-shirts and vest top, as you can see I have lots of t-shirts, not all of them fit in there so the most casual ones are packed in a suitcase under neath my bed. Also since its no longer cold, I have retrieved my jumpers and placed them in the same suitcase underneath my bed.

This wardrobe, opposite the t-shirt one carries, my dresses, coats/blazers and other formal wear, mostly church clothes. On top of that i have my shorts and skirts. I keep my jeans in another suitcase under my bed, I have notice they keep breaking my wardrobes, so I try not stuff it.

Over here is my my six shelve unit. Its very cute, its got quotes all around it and inside it.

I keep my books at the top, I read a lot of books, but I only buy ones that I think I will enjoy, when I'm done with a book, I usually put them in my book box, also underneath my bed. The second shelve is some DVD's I love, I have seen these film about 5x each. I also have some CD's and nail polishes, I don't know if you can see them. The third shelve got my perfumes and jewellery, the next shelve got some makeup bags, body spray deodorants, and some body scrubs from The Body Shop. The next  two shelves got my bargains, I used palmers a lot and palmolive bath milk, so when they are on sale, I buy the shop out.

In the corner to your right, Is my coat rail, I forgot to take a picture (just remembered)

These are all my shoes, no where close to Ms Kardashian below, but I am working on it. As you can see some are still in the boxes, some have not even been worn, I don't see how that is possible, but I have my favourites so I wear them out.

My bags, I could not be bothered to get them down and show you them individually but, yeah... I own a lot of handbags, some are in my mums closet because we share some....

Finally my bed and my mac book.. btw, let me introduce you to Moriah, Virgil, and Omarion... yes I said Omarion... lol My three buddies..
I guess I could have made my room neater but heck...
Usually there is a black and white or grey theme going on in my room, but since its a exams month, I am not really bothered.

My wardrobe is diverse, I dress according to my mood, you might see me in 5inch stiletto and tight mini dress and the next day you will see me in jeans and a t-shirt or even shorts with boots and oversize jumper. I don't believe in dress codes, I believe in a style instinct, just do you, as long as you love it and no you look good. After all fashion is about making a statement. So make YOUR statement.

How do you keep your room and store your clothes?

Inovative, style and design, loved by many celebrities including Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Hudson, Selena Gomez, Celine Dione, Audrina Patridge, and Whitney Port, you can be guaranteed that Guiseppe Zanotti collection can never be disappointing. Ranked at prices most of us have to save up for, these shoes are the objects of our fantasies.  "Monster shoe", truly mind-blowing, and the desire for any shoe addicts appetite. I must say that I love all the collection...the ones that I am super crazy about are all on here, but you can visit Guiseppe here

These Stella McCartney's would have looked awesome with the dress I wanted to wear on Monday.
Sandra Bullocks wore these killer louboutin in 'The Proposal' with Ryan Reynolds. She looked stunning, smart, sophisticated, sexy but still her looks empowers at the same time.

Gimme Euro and Yen and I will buy the world... 

If you had uncountable amount of money, what will you do with it?

Crisis Over... :D

Today was my mooting, the practice appeal trail I mentioned in a previous post ( Its a crisis). My first thought this morning was I have no shoes to wear. That is very ironic because I was not panicing about the fact that I did not feel fully prepared to deliever my argument, but there I was panicking about the shoes I was going to wear.

The day unfolded quite stressfully, I was late. Usually that is Zateesha, whenever we are meeting up she is late (lol-she will kill me for this) but serious this is girl is always late. Before I drift off from the subject of this post, I was late because my car decided to break down on me. With a bit of luck and a silent prayer, I got the bum to move again.

Because I could not  find shoes to match my dress and I did not want break my Lent, I change the dress. I feel so proud of myself, not because I delievered my case well, (I think) but because I made a promise to give up something and I feel like I am really going to make it.

Forthy days is long in terms of restricting yourself... but hopefully, with a whole ot of determination and a little bit of luck, I will be able to maintain my Lent.

This is what I wore...

Dress from Next, Cardigan from Matalan, Boots from Clarks 3years ago

Its a Crisis....

I have mooting on monday, for the none law student, it is a staged court appeal where we have to be either the appellant or respondent and argue your case in court. The problem is I am no where near where I would like to be,and that is not worrying me, what I am stressing about is my outfit. We have to look like proper lawyers, that in my understanding mean, fitted dress and amazing stilettos. My worry right now is that, I got the dress (and yes surprisingly its not new.. i bought it some months ago whiles shopping with my mother but never had the chance to wear it until now) but all my shoes are too sexy to be lawyer shoes therefore I need a new one. The main point of my agony is that, I made a promise, for forty days not buy anything new for the sake of buying unless its important. So now, I am stuck between the two, what should I do. But would you not say shoes to match a dress is urgently important. Someone help me, if I buy the new shoe, do I break my Lent or whatever its called??

i absolutely love this dress

My Wish List

Usually I am an impulse shopper...

But, I decided to be like Becca, over @ Fashion Train, and make a wish  list. And I am having so much fun.

The best thing about this wish list is that, I can actually think about whether I need the item I am about to purchase. If I’m going to wear it and whether of not I  have anything similar. 

I have realized that most of the items I thought I wanted, I don’t need and I have so many similar on worn item. Also I have discovered that though they are the trend this season, the chance are I am not going to have a need for them till the following season. By then, there would be new list of items I would want, thus making what I bought (if I was to purchase it a waste of money.)

Anyway, WHAT I WANT THIS YEAR ARE...

I know there are some ridiculous price on here....But like my diamonds, I always dream big!

I think i will make more wish lists . :)
