Duo So, Mummy LAJA & I decided to do a shoot together because obviously 🙂 The looks were inspired by these two Fulfill Jewelry sets. One warm and the other cool but both making a statement. I enjoyed playing with the contrast in colours and backgrounds. This has to be one of my favorite shoot with Mummy LAJA so far. <3 Which set/look is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!

Gimme More Flare Happy February, sunshine! This week has been a whirlwind for me. So many meetings and appointments to keep up with. I wake up and before I know it, the day’s gone. I’m glad though because tomorrow, I’m seeing a BØRNS concert! *jumps up and down like a true fan girl* Being excited is such an understatement I can’t begin to explain, hahaha. I’ve always talked about how my friends don’t understand my music taste so I will be going alone. #SoloRanger Besides his popular jams, I’ve been listening to “American Money” on repeat (please tell me I’m not the only one, am I) so that’ll have to been my song of January. Any favorites from BØRNS? Tell me! I wore this outfit to brunch with my girlfriends. I’ve been loving living the knee-high life and I’m considering upgrading to the thigh-high life. I put my layering skills into play and wore this black skirt over my ankara dress to give it a different look. What do you think? It’s all about being innovative with your clothing, I’ve had this dress for about 3 years now. It’s not going anywhere. What are some versatile pieces in your wardrobe and what do you use them for? Enjoy the rest of your week and I’ll talk to you in a bit. Outfit details Ankara dress: LAJA Styles Skirt: old Shoes: Audrey Brooke Jacket: Bongo Earrings: Fulfill Jewelry Always, Miss LAJA

LAJA in Osborne After an emotional departure from the cottage, LAJA’s adventures lead her to Osborne. Feeling stronger in her every evolving identity, this time she means business. Very comfortable as a solo explorer, she decides to celebrate her new found confidence and indulges in the luxuries of life through SpringPark Yaad Hotel. It was going to be a short stay since she often craved change but as always, she’d make the most of it… To be continued… Outfit details Ankara Jumpsuit: LAJA Styles Sandals: Charlotte Russe Jewelry: Fulfill Jewelry Sunglasses: Marc Jacobs Bag: Michael Kors Shot by: LAJA Photography & Fresco Genius Always, Miss LAJA
This Christmas Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing day! I went for a relative’s birthday party! Yes, she shares the same birthday as Jesus. It was a great time with food and lovely company. I’ve been visiting many family members and friends and it absolutely blows my mind that they know about Miss LAJA! Hearing the things they say encourage me so much and make me look forward to what 2016 has to offer. It’s officially a countdown! I’m going to keep this short and sweet as I just got back from a visit to my cousins’ place! I hope you enjoyed yours, what did you do? And what are you looking forward to this coming 2016? A little bit on the outfit, I’m wearing a vintage ankara top courtesy Mummy LAJA. The top is about 15 years old! I was like dayummm :O I can imagine myself wearing this outfit if I were spending Christmas or even the New Year in Las Vegas Imagine an evening consisting of food (obviously ), a burlesque show and maybe a party after, hehe; Miss LAJA bringing a touch of ankara to the Sin City 😉 #TheUlitmateVegasOutfit in my dictionary, don’t you think? A girl can dream but I wore this on a day out on Christmas day. There’s nothing I love more than a night out with great food and great company; life is wayy too short to accept any less. Coming home this Christmas to my family and friends redirected my perspective. Where would you wear this outfit to? I would like to know 😀 Don’t forget to check out the latest video I just dropped on how I tie my gele. I want your feedback! Enjoy, the rest of your week and I’ll talk to you in a bit.

Gele Chronicles: Black and White Here’s another gele look since I haven’t done one in a while. I plan on doing a lot of the holidays as I’m in the process of coveting my mum’s wardrobe *cheese* This isn’t a gele entirely but I wanted to head piece and jewelry to be the focus of the look. What do you think? A moment of silence for the gorgeousness of this set! Ahnahn, talk about making a statement! Fulfill Jewelry never fails to leave me speechless each and every time plus they’re handmade. So you can imagine why this is a favorite brand of mine. For me, it’s quality over quantity always. If you’re home on the holidays, how do you feel? Splendid isn’t it? One of my girlfriends is graduating this week (yeah, it’s a winter graduation). After 4 years of fun/suffering I’m like yesss girl, get it! Hope you’re all settling back home well. Jet lag has been my bestie but other than that. I’m good. Enjoy and I’ll talk to you in a bit!

Blue Lagoon I’m half asleep as I type this since I just touched down in Nigeria and my body is just confused. First thing I was greeted with was the heat and I welcomed it wholeheartedly because you know I’m not at all about that cold life. Anyways, it’s good to be home and have a change of space/location. It honestly makes a huge difference in my personality and demeanor. I feel different, even weird so to say. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I haven’t been home in the past year? It might not sound like a big deal but my personality changes with location. Not drastically though but it does change. Another possibility is I’m just plain tired and I’m just pouring out my brain. Either ways, do you have any experience with this? Today’s pictures are from a collab I did with a photographer, Justin. I had so much fun during this shoot and loved geeking about photography life and struggles. It’s always great teaming up with people who are so passionate about their craft.
