“Every Experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it”
O’ death, where is your sting. I’m shocked with the news of the sudden death of a dear aunt of mine. She went to bed on Tuesday and didn’t wake up, no one knew till Friday because she live alone in her apartment (teary eyes). She was one amazing and free spirited person full of life and happiness, and people always feed off her energy. It was never a dull moment with her.

Enjoy the place where you are now and take every opportunity to learn from it. Hope you all are doing great. As for me, am feeling a bit geeky and cheeky at the same time with this glasses I bought from Zara the other day. Not my norm, but I found it really cool. Do you have one cool item in your closet as well?
‘Spread some good vibes’
This is from me to you.
– You are more than enough don’t let anyone deter you from that belief. It doesn’t matter what you are going through or feeling right now. Nothing last forever and when you think you can’t take it anyone and at the brink of giving up, just give it your last push and it’s usually end up to be the only thing that was required for the beak through.

It’s midweek again. Don’t you just love the feeling that you are half way to the weekend again. What are you plans for the weekend? Am having a little getaway with the family, driving 14hrs to see my inlaws. That’s a trip for sure and I will be sleeping almost all the way.
Today I am sharing the pictures from the shoot i did couple of weeks ago for an interview on being a blogger and my aspirations. I shared a link here , you can have a read just in case you didn’t see it previously. (more…)
‘Don’t be in a rush to figure everything out. Embrace the unknown and let your life surprise you’
I saw this quote above and I’ve been holding on tight to this concept of living, so these days I sit down and smile in appreciation of life, including everything I have, everything I am currently striving towards and accepting the things I know I can’t have. With that in mind, I hold onto faith that all the veers are all path to take me to my destination.
“Be thankful for what you are now, and keep fighting for what you want to be tomorrow”
Hope you all are having a great week so far? I’m having does week when am determined to stay positive and work my way through to the end.

‘Don’t count the days. Make the days count’
If you follow me on facebook you would have seen the pictures of me and my son co-ordinating to welcome daddy home after six-months of serving in Afghanistan. My son was so excited to see his daddy, I was unable to contain his screaming . A priceless moment (I nearly became teary) something that will stay with me forever.
Guess who is also making an appearance on the blog today? if you guessed my son, then you are right. During the shoot, he put up a massive tantrum to have a turn to say ‘cheese’ and ‘thumb up’. Everyone, please meet Master Nathan Koroma- the head of the Koroma family as he commands everyone in the house of how we need to be doing the things he wants.
So how are you all doing? I’m great overall, but in terms of physical wellbeing, I’m exhausted from cleaning the house. oh! how I hope it will stay that way especially my closet which I always turn into a war zone just to find an outfit.
Lately, I feel like my life is on cruise control with minimal or no action at all. I use to be so active and adventurous and now I find myself bored and tired to do anything. I’ve gotten into the habit of letting life happen, feeling down and alone, at the same time my subconscious mind is shouting so many exciting things I should be doing, but my conscious mind is set on making me feel miserable.
I’m I the only one feeling this way?
I was reading a friend’s blog earlier this week, she read a book by Marie Kondo about living intentional and taking action to keep your surrounding tidy which is an expression of your life, and it gave me a thought that this concept applies to my life right now. To be honest, it’s not really impossible once I put my mind to it I can get a lot done.
So this is the plan:-
Find two things to do that I haven’t previously done on each weekend by myself (-or with a friend) or with my family.
Keep track of my progress till end of the year then I will add as I go, as I don’t want to overcrowd my weekend with activities and then get stressed.
Please feel free to make suggestions.
I hope you all enjoy your Sunday and talk soon.
My fashion corner:
You all know how I love my bright colours and today and wearing two vibrant colours in the neon department. I love this outfit as it casual chic and effortless, which can be transition from day to night easily.
I was only planning to wear the basic white tee on its own, but the current weather couldn’t allow it, hence the use of the denim shirt which I believe worked out well as it gives the look some form of layering which I love doing in winter.
Are you asking why fuschia heels? My response will be why not? It’s such a rich colour that will make every outfit pop.

Denim shirt: Zara Men, Tees: Jay Jay, Jean and Heels: GoJane, clutch: Adorne

“Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts your life will change.”
Hello! Hello! ……. Welcome back to sonish space. How are you all doing? Mine has been a mixture but mostly involve cleaning the house for Hubby’s arrival on Thursday after six months of serving his country overseas. ………….Excited!
So I’m trying to organise myself in regards to by blog post frequency, as we are now in the second half of the year. I still can’t believe, well I should believe now because we are in July already. Enough of my sarcasm, I am updating my blogging calendar to post twice a week (that’s the plan and idea). The post will be on Sundays and Wednesdays.
Sundays post will comprise of a summary of my week, share with you different topics and things that fancy me or share my experience in other words just like my current format. Wednesdays will be my wordless post (not in entirety), which will be just pictures and outfit details or responses to any questions.
I haven’t decided on the timing just yet, but if I choose one I want to be consistent with it. Taking into consideration my work hours, especially for Wednesdays.
This post was supposed to be my first wordless post, but I thought I will provide a background of the direction sonishspace is heading, so you won’t be that surprise.
Thank you all so much for your continuous support and visiting constantly and leaving your kind words. If you have any questions or suggestions please drop them in the comment box and I will surely incorporate them or respond.
Enjoy the rest of your week you all and speak soon.

Jumper and pants: H&M , Heels: Tony Bianco, Handbag: Portmans
Happy New Month Everyone!
‘Make your vision so clear that your fears become irrelevant’
How are you all doing? Wow we have passed the sixth month in 2016. I’m very thankful to God for life and making it this far in good health and countless blessings. I’m sorry I was gone for a minute, a whole two months. I needed some time to put myself together and stay on track with things I was lagging behind on. Which still not completely on track (don’t judge am slow like that). I hope I was missed (hahaha).
Hi Lovelies, Hope you all are well? Today’s Post is by a wonderful lady and a Fashion Enthusiast Catherine Romeo. Please click the link to visit her blog. Enjoy the read.
It’s no news that our wardrobe says a lot about us. Have you ever been told that you can judge a man by his shoes? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
There is no piece or style that makes a woman look good. That little black dress, blazer or hat. Your clothing style says a lot about your personality and what you’re thinking. Wearing a bold hat with a long hair projects a different image than a Nike cap with a low ponytail. Your clothing style can speak volumes about you before you even open your mouth to say a word.
I know a lot of you ladies will testify to this. Sometimes you would have taken a particular attire out to wear but feeling a certain way will make you change your mind about it. Our moods and how we feel play a huge part on how we dress and what colour we put on.
Let us take a look at some of the most popular colours that women wear and what it has to say about them.
Black and Green
We all love to wear black or have worn black at one point. Wearing black gives the appearance of authority and impress without being too showy, but most of all it makes us look slimmer.
Now a days green is becoming more popular. It is the colour of harmony and balance. Most people who wear green tend to be environmentally friendly.
Fashion Hint
In the fashion world to take the edge off choose something with a bit of embellishment like a lace or ruffles and add either a gold belt or a green pair of shoes to it will put you on top of the game.
If you are not a big fan of green why not try green slim pants with a black top and jacket or better still some green earrings to match your green bag. If you are feeling game try and mix it with a beige pair of high heels that will really make you look twice.
Orange, Pink and Blue
I personally love bright colours as I think it is a way to show my vibrant self and feel alive. Orange and pink are colours of luxury, affection and pleasure, it showcases youth and strength.
One of my favourite colours is blue, as the ocean peaceful and fresh. It brings out a soft, soothing, compassionate and caring feel.
Fashion Hint
Gold or nude goes well with that blue dress you been waiting on. The serene shade soothes the person wearing it and makes the people around them feel at ease.
Because of its very bright nature you should wear it with either white or black to tone it down. If you are feeling more adventurous try an orange mid knee dress with a pair of blue heels, short outfits goes well with long hair, add some length to your hair with some clip in human hair extensions you will be surprised how may heads get turned!
Grey and Red
Most women who go for this colour are either feeling down or just can’t be bothered with things.
The colour red gives the impression of a strong and romantic woman. It also can show how optimistic, zest for life, uncomplicated and intense we are. As women we want to feel romantic and show our inner beauty.
Fashion Hint
Adding a bit of spice to your grey outfit with some bright red shoes can make your style pop. Try wearing a red pump the next time you throw on a grey flowing dress.
My favorite is a pair of jeans with a red bag and heels. Make no mistake this is divine.
White and Blue
Whenever we wear white we portray cleanliness, simplicity and purity. As we all know majority of people on their wedding day wear white wedding dress due to the belief of one’s purity and innocence.
Fashion Hint
Any white outfit can go with anything so why not mix it with that favourite blue outfit you got in your wardrobe.
Purple and Yellow
Purple is highly individual, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. If you chose purple or yellow, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified. This shade draws out the creative artist within because it is one of those colours that people either love or hate wearing.
These are colours of happiness, wisdom and imagination. Yellow and purple usually goes with a sunny and a strong sense of humor.
Fashion Hint
Next time you see that yellow top or skirt don’t be afraid to mix it with some black pumps or a black belt for dress.
For a chic look pair yellow dress with purple shoes and bag.
Brown
Brown has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative. Brown is worn by women mostly in winter.
Fashion Hint
A simple pair of leather knee high boots can be worn in a variety of different outfits from daytime casual, and even more formal evening wear. Brown high boots with a t-shirt and jumper. To make it classier why not try a brown knee length dress with a pair of light brown boots and top it off with any of your favorite jacket. Don’t be shy to accessorize it with some jewellery.
