  • My Puff sleeve Gingham top

    Gingham topHey Lovelies,

    Happy new month lovelies. Are you all excited like me, its 21 more sleeps to Christmas? This year Christmas will be so special for me because I will be spending it with my mum after 14 years.

    Today, I  wanted to show off this lovely Gingham top I received from Shein few weeks ago. I was in a dilemma of how I really wanted to style this top, because I wanted to retain the rich classic and vintage history of the gingham print. 

    The gingham print has been around for centuries but it was mainly use as a material to make table clothes etc.

    One of the best things I love about this gingham print top is the puffed dramatic sleeves, its so amazing and different. I love the fact that you can wear this top to many formal occasion and you can also wear it as a casual chic look with some jeans/jeggings and you are good to go. Trust me everyone would be looking at you top, especially the sleeves giving you more compliments just like my son will say ‘you look nice mommy’.

    I finally decided to wear this top with my favourite black skirt and my patent heels, because the goal was to keep it classy.

    You all take care and talk soon. Enjoy every moment with your family and friends.

  • PJ top for a lazy day

    PJ top for a lazy day

    This PJ top was made with me purposely in mind.


    Hey lovelies.

    I missed you all so much.

    Goodness,  its feels like forever since my last post. Truth be told it’s been over a month now. I drafted this post a month ago and never got around to finish it. That’s just terrible I should admit. Maybe its because I started wearing this PJ top (hahaha)

    cnp_6657I hope the month of October has been good to you. It has for me compare to September. Lot has happened on my end from travelling, work, funeral, illness and life events in general.

    Below is just a quick summary of my life since my last post:

    • Work and Family. My son is starting prep next year and we went for the interview, which didn’t go quite as planned after all the practice and the lolly treats went out the window the minute we sat down to talk to the interviewer. Apart from that, I was just thankful and can’t wait for him to start next year. Work is busy but I love every minute of it.
    • A dear friend of mine lost her mother couple of weeks back and words can’t really describe her grief.  I pray God will heal her heart and help her find peace with time. Seeing her reinforces the importance of living life and appreciating every time with our love ones because you never know when you or them will depart from this world. Life is too short and we should celebrate our existence every day.
    • I am planning a trip back home to Sierra Leone this December after 14 years. Yes, that’s how long I haven’t seen my mother. Can’t wait for the reunion.
    • Reading, binge watching TV series is my usual relaxation method.

     

    Now your turn, let me know what you have been up to in the comment box.

    My Fashion Corner:

    Let me start by saying that I picked up this Zara PJ top for $2. Yep! that right.

    I know am always late with trends, but I was definitely sceptical about this one, when I first read about it in my cosmopolitan magazine. I knew it fit right up in my aisle being the lazy person that I am, but I was like this is laziness on a new whole level. At the back on my mind though I found this trend so cool. From my research it’s was streamline to street wear back in the 80s, but whoever decided to bring it back kudos to them.

    I saw few in Zara and H & M stores, but it just wasn’t happening for me and then it does after I found the bargain at an Op (thrift) shop. Ok!! its quite obvious that the price got me in.

     

    So in love with the silk and soft feel on you silk. Being wearing this top a lot lately, I will try and wear it to work one of these days because that’s the only place i haven’t worn it yet to.

    I also learnt a lesson that never say never because you just don’t know.
