I have a couple semiformal events coming up and I was on the hunt for cheap dresses. I am trying to cut down on my spending. Trust me, it’s hard! Especially, when scrolling down my Instagram feed during Fashion Week season. So, when the lovely people at FashionMia reached out, I spent hours on their website and I love how cheap and affordable their dresses are. The dresses above are some of my top picks.

Fall/Autumn Inspiration

Friday, 9 September 2016

My favorite season is just around the corner! I am ready for the colorful leaves, warm drinks, pumpkin flavored everything, fluffy sweaters, and rainy nights. I am a bit disappointed with the weather outside because has I am writing this it is currently 25°C/77°F. Even though, it is September is doesn’t feel like September. It is too hot outside and I am running out of summery outfits to wear. All I can think about is Fall fashion. That’s why I hope this post will kick the Fall season into full gear. Fall I need you!!!

Styling Ankara Prints

Tuesday, 6 September 2016

Crop Top - Amazon (similar here & here) | Skirt - Custom Made in Lagos | Heels - Target (here)

Ankara printed anything is my obsession. I had this skirt made last Christmas, when I was in Lagos. I love the color scheme of this skirt, which makes it super easy to style. Whenever I wear anything with an ankara print I make sure that the rest of the pieces of the outfit are one color. In this case, I paired this skirt with a black crop top and heels. Making the main focus the skirt. Ankara prints tend to be bold and stand out, so it is best to leave that as the center of attention. Sometimes pairing two different prints together works but it is very risky. It is easier to have one bold print with a solid color to pull the whole look together. I really love how this outfit turned out. Do you guys like ankara prints and how would you style it?

Hey guys! Labor Day weekend is coming to an end. My weekend was great! A group of my friends and I went to Northern Kentucky University for the Midwestern African Student Organization conference a.k.a MASOCON. I was one of the official bloggers for the event & I wanted to focus on the attendees' style and fashion sense. I wish I took more pictures of all the attendees. Full album on Facebook here.
