Iro and Buba

Helloooo beautiful people!
The weekend went by way too fast and I'm not ready for work tomorrow but oh well...

All white top, all white jeans, all white belt body looking like milk!

Yes, I have a slight ratchet side and when I wore this outfit, all I could think of was Ludacris' rap verse in "My chick bad", haha.

Pretty pretty pleats

I've seen this skirt in 3 different colors and I must say, this sort of nude tone one is by far my favorite!

Transitioning to Summer

Who's ready for (official) summer?!?! I am!
I thought I would put together a brief post highlighting what I believe are key pieces for a stylish summer wardrobe after being asked to participate in this campaign by www.raise.com, which is a marketplace to buy and sell gift cards!
The campaign which raise.com is holding is called Closet Swap and focuses on summer fashion trends.

Without further ado, here are my summer picks!

-First off, you may want some BOLD color! This can be in the form of a solid-colored piece like this one: 

They told her to cover up her legs

I was just here thinking to myself, "Wow, I have some amazing people who read my blog, relate to me or tell me I have influenced them in some way when once upon a time, when I had just started blogging, some insignificant nincompoop had told me my legs were to muscular and to cover them up....

A little white never hurt anyone...

Happy middle-of-the-week!
Yes, I always find an excuse to celebrate ;)

Just a little quickie for you featuring a casual Ankara look for those of you not quite bold enough to go all out with Ankara colors and prints, haha. You could start small with something like this.

Salut les amis! Il est deja le milieu de la semaine! Tant mieux, haha.

Body won't quit

No I am not being obnoxious and vain with that post title. On the contrary, I'm making a promise to myself and to you guys that I will try my best to maintain as healthy a lifestyle as I can so as to not jeopardize my God-given curves, haha.

Sunshine on a rainy day

You know when you have an outfit all planned out, down to the shoes and your make up...and then it starts to rain! Anyone else loathe that as much as I do?
 Est-ce que ca vous arrive d'avoir une tenue en tete que vous allez portez un  certain jour et puis quand le jour arrive, le temps est affreux?

Let it flow

"There comes a time when
We must go our own way

Just let go
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right you know"

One of the most calming and soothing songs I have ever listened to is "Let it flow" by Toni Braxton. I first fell in love with it when I watched the move :Waiting to Exhale." In fact, I have the entire soundtrack to that movie. It's so relaxing...

No woman, no dress

"Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress."
--Coco Chanel

I love dresses. More than that, I love dresses that FIT me. I can't wear any type of dress with my type of body as it is easy to come off as either fatter than I am or slutty. 

I strongly believe that the woman makes the dress and not the other way around. 

Black Canadian Awards

Well hello my lovelies!
I apologize for the shortage of posts last week but things got a little crazy during the week. I was also gearing up for the Black Canadian Awards, which I actually just returned from.
One important thing about me is I hate being late! Even if I know that tardiness will not be an issue, I like to show up to any event/place either early or on time. When I noticed I was running late to the Awards, I took a taxi to the event (and ended up losing my wallet but that's another sad story for another day) and realized I had not missed much.

There goes my baby

That's the song that kept running through my mind when I wore this dress- There Goes my Baby by Usher. You had seen it previously a few months ago when I took a mirror selfie but I waited until the beautiful weather to show you some better shots of this dress. I basically seized this dress from the designer and refuse to return it! Haha. It seriously is as perfect as it looks-both in terms of comfort, and design!
I decided to accessorize with my Aldo bag and there, the outfit was ready!
