I GAVE IN









(Forgot to cream properly and yes, I have really wide feet)




(lipstick on the teeth. lol)


OUTFIT DETAILS
Peplum top // Shoes - Topshop
Boyfriend jeans- Asos
Necklace - River Island
Belt - Dockers
Wristwatch - Versace

This is about peplum. I love it on other people not just on myself and I was like nahhh, I'm not getting it. I tried on this top on Friday and I was like nope, still not getting it but on Saturday morning I found myself wishing that I did so I went out and got it. (Never again...I think). The top is actually sleeveless but I just didn't feel comfortable wearing it like that so I wore another top with faux leather sleeves and I liked the finished look. Peplum has the ability to look overly girly so I paired it with boyfriend jeans to create a little balance. This is going to be a rather long week for me but hey, I got the King of kings on my side so I'm good to go. Have a lovely week guys!

Lots of love,





(I want to say a big thank you to my photographer/HOMIE Lotachukwu for taking my pictures for me. He takes 95% of my blog shots and He never complains when I ask him to take them. He says I do not give him enough credit but I think he will be pleased now. lol)

♥UNIFORM♥









OUTFIT DETAILS
Jacket - Ebay
Jumper - Primark
Jeans - River Island
Boots - F21
Hat - Asos

This is what my outfit to uni looks like almost every day.That's why I haven't been posting daily outfit of the day but if you guys would like to see more of this, just let me know. I took out my braids because my hair was growing out and because of the length of my braids, my hair would twist about when it was not in a ponytail and my new growth started turning into knots and I knew that if I waited till the end of the month, I would be bald. I have lost majority of my front hair at the moment. Anyways, my hair colour is basically bleach gone wrong. It's way blonder than I wanted because I was on tumblr and too lazy to rinse out the bleach. (Lazy, I know). I'm still trying to figure out what to do to it now but I was brave enough to rock it  out of my house like this and weird enough, people seemed to like it. 

I'm off to grab a bite with a friend. By the way, have I mentioned lately how amazing you guys are. Your love and support is just mindblowing! I love you guys!

I was featured as FASHION BOMBSHELL OF THE DAY and I was pretty excited about that.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Lots of love,

THE 1ST TIME THEY FELL IN LOVE.













OUTFIT DETAILS
Dress // Belt - Asos
Shoes - TopShop
Bag - Zara

This was the first dress/item I got from Asos and I've had it for over two years and since then, Asos has been my go-to site for dresses. I have really gotten into the art of pencil dresses lately, I even wore one to uni and I had a few people asking me if I had a date later that day. (LOL) 

Pencil dresses remind me of liberation....of freedom....of self-love and confidence.  A couple of years back, I wouldn't be caught dead in a pencil dress because I was insecure and I was ashamed of my body. I wanted more. I wanted to be bigger and I know that sounds silly but I grew up in a place where all the 'boys' wanted curvier girls and I let that affect my self-esteem. (People still tell me today that I would be so much 'hotter' if I added more weight. Guess what? I DON'T CARE!). When I met Jesus Christ, I stopped focusing on what the boys thought and about what He thought and I realized and I am proud to say that I am beautiful in my own right. Emphasis on the word 'beautiful', not sexy. There is so much more to life than one's physical appearance. Being curvy or skinny, light skinned or dark skinned, white or black, natural or relaxed doesn't make you beautiful. Accepting that you are wonderfully and fearfully made by God, that's what makes you BEAUTIFUL and if you live for being SEXY, then I'm NOT sorry to say, but you might as well not live at all.

TOO MUCH MUSHINESS??? BACK TO OUTFIT DETAILS: I didn't go for my signature red lips today because I wanted a little change. (Never again. lol). It's really hard trying to put anything against a red dress because a red dress will always win but I think my red dress has found its match in these rose gold shoes

"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. The question isn't whether God loves you. That's a statement of fact. The question is what are you doing to reject that love?"

Have a wonderful week. 

Lots of love,
