The pop of yellow provided a great contrast that made the outfit stand out overall.” Look 2 “I loved the purple skirt and how simple the design was to make a semi-formal look. A sleek high bun and a nice throw can turn a simple skirt into a killer evening look!” Shop Casey’s Picks LAJA Udu Skirt LAJA Aniocha Wrap Dress Always, Miss LAJA

BRAG 2016 Twirlll Miss LAJA X Mummy LAJA 😀 Loved the decor LAJA X Laquan Smith <3 Mega babe 😀 Intelligent Ladies The Honorees From the latest in #LAJAInNewYork, I had an absolute blast attending the BRAG 2016 Gala. BRAG (Black Retail Action Group) is a non-profit striving for diversity within the fashion and retail industry. It’s lovely being a part of such incredibly intelligent people who are passionate and driven. My stay was short but sweet (one night), I flew in from Boston and the lovely Mummy LAJA was my date 🙂 The honorees were LaQuan Smith, Terri Hines, Jason McNary and Durand Guion- all with incredibly successful careers in fashion and retail. Felt like an absolute Queen in my outfit thanks to the Enyabere set and my sick blouse. Gotta love some back action ! Till next time, New York. Always, Miss LAJA
LAJA X Forbes In my LAJA Aniocha wrap dress Honored to have been selected as a Forbes Under 30 2016 Scholar. It’s a very exciting recognition, cheers to more exciting things to come and thank you all for the support you’ve shown LAJA so far. Much love and have an exciting week! Always, Miss LAJA
Mother Knows Best Hello lovely, I’m back with another ankara print styling post. I curate this look with 90% of Mummy LAJA’s clothing and 10% mine. It’s a blessing having an incredibly stylish (and intelligent) mother who you can permanently borrow from. This peplum top is a no brainer; the orange and black floral print are LAJA incarnate and it’s so powerful. I paired the blouse with straight legged pants because we all know (and adore) the lengthening effects it gives the legs. I finished it Details Top courtesy Mummy LAJA Fulfill Jewelry Asaba Earrings Versace Sunglasses Calvin Klein Sandals Always, Miss LAJA
RedBlue What’s New Red & blue, flared skirts, peplums, all my favorite things in one complete outfit. My week was lovely but busy. It’s already the end of June, an honesty startling reality. I have a summer internship and it’s been making me question a lot of my interests and also pushing me to think about what I want to do after graduation, where I want to live, what the future of this blog is and everything I do. From the bottom of my heart, I have zero answers to the many questions running through my head. It’s honestly discouraging atimes but I do my best to keep a positive outlook. On the bright side, I’ve been on a roll with red and blue combos lately. It’s such a strong and eye catching duo. They complement each other SO well and I gasp (literally) whenever I see them paired together. It only made sense to pair the Achara top with a bright red skirt. Fiery and strong but still graceful. I’m all about it! Outfit Details The Achara Blouse Skirt: Windsor Shoes: Charlotte Russe Jewelry: Fulfill Jewelry Always, Miss LAJA

Gele Chronicles: George Me Not Two of my favorite colours in one George material. George is a cotton African textile originating from Nigeria. It is adorned with bright colours and especially gold accents because it is usually worn by royalty. The fabric signifies wealth, luxury and status. The material is commonly worn for special occasions like weddings and church events. I got this vintage piece from Grandma LAJA and style Mummy LAJA in the lovely number. It’s definitely a different look but what can I say, Mummy LAJA’s so fly <3 I completed the look with this dramatic piece from Fulfill Jewelry to amplify the aesthetic. Loud and proud, baby! Have a lovely weekend and I’ll talk to you in a bit! xx Outfit Details George: Vintage Jewelry: Fulfill Jewelry Makeup / Styling / Photography: LAJA Styles Always, Miss LAJA
