A flash of Sin City

During this trip, I barely had my camera with me at all times because it could not fit in my bag. I need to find a fancy bag that can be both for night out and a camera bag; so any bag creator or designer who is interested in a collaboration, contact me ;)

In all, Vegas was fun. There was never a dull moment or lack of sightings. I saw so many crazy costumes that I wish I had my camera with me at those moments--I guess, what happens in Vegas, stayed in Vegas :)

Here are some pictures from Vegas...

Thank goodness the weekend is around the corner...

Have a wonder rest of the week!

Black & Yellow

Welcome to the month of November! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend! For those that celebrated Halloween, what did you wear?  I spent my weekend with mixing work and fun in Vegas. As a first time Vegas guest, I am really enjoying the city--so many lights and all types of uniques things and individuals. My visit here is almost over in a day. My experience here includes the gondola ride at The Venetian and also Circus de Soleil show, which was interesting. 

Again, since it was halloween weekend, everyone here went above and beyond with their halloween costumes. People were in costumes from the dusk to dawn whether they were walking down the street or just gambling...lots of uniques and interesting costumes.

On the other hand, I wore this outfit before I left. I have been into leather lately, so I had to dig up this leather skirt that I bought last year--combing two of my current obsessions: leather and statement necklace. You can always make a simple out standout by adding a bold necklace. I am always on the hunt for bold, big, and unique pieces.

Outfit: H&M leather skirt and sweater (last year's purchase),

Shoes Zara 

Aldo clutch

Watch: Michael Kors (similar one here)

Necklace: Express necklace 

Ring: Forever21

OPI Nail polish & MAC RubyWoo

Thank you all for your continuous support!

PS: I know I promised a beauty post. I have been so busy with work, school and at the same time, I was waiting for my new lens to arrive so that I can use it for the pictures. Please bear with me. I will get the post up latest by next week or earlier.

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs & kisses

You are my everything

How is everyone doing? It is midweek and this means that the weekend is around the corner. The week seems to be going pretty fast and not as stressful as the prior week though I have the same work load. On the other hand, maybe I am a bit excited that I get to relax on this trip.

I wore this outfit on a night out with my hubby. I was going for a simple look while allowing the accessories and my shoes to make a statement. From the scarf to the shoes, you will see how much I love animal prints. Animal prints or leopard prints are more than a trend to me. They always add an edgy look to an outfit.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week!

I am off to continue with my research paper...

Shades of blue

My weekend was spent getting some rest and finishing up my school work for the week. After a sleepless week, on Saturday, I slept most of the day before heading out to dinner with my husband. After dinner, I decided to get a manicure, pedicure and my eyebrows done. I went in with full eyebrows but I came out with barely none--thanks to lady at the nail salon...smh! At least I have MAC espresso matte and bangs as cover up LOL!

On Sunday, I was able to make one of my favorite soup "Okra soup"- I haven't had it in a while. I ended up eating so much that night I could barely get up from my seat. I am a self proclaimed foodie, but the good thing is that I don't really eat a lot of junk food. :)

On another note, this is another busy week for me both at work and school, but the good thing is that I am looking forward to some fun time with my hubby & friends/coworkers in Vegas. I am a Vegas newbie, so I am so looking forward to some fun after work in the Sin City. 

Next week is halloween...do you guys have your costumes ready? I have an idea what my costume will be, but you will just have to wait and see. :)

Wearing: American apparel pants, Forever21 denim shirt, Zara shoes, Aldo bag

I hope you all have a fabulous week!

Polka Dots

The weekend is almost here again, which is an exciting news for me. I don't have much plans for the weekend except completing my paper that is due the coming week. Besides that, I might go to the movies with my hubby. I have been so busy that I don't even know what movies are out or the last movie that I saw. Thinking about it..., I think the last movie I saw was "Columbiana".

Have you guys seen any movies recently? Any recommendation?

It has been raining a lot here. I keep procrastinating getting rain boots. Couple weeks ago, I saw some really cute 'Hunters' metallic rain boots, but they didn't have my size anymore. If I don't find the metallic ones anymore, I will probably go with a black patent one. :)

What are your plans for the weekend?

Thank you all for taking you time to leave a comment! <3

Wrapped Up

What a busy week it has been and next week is looking like one of my busiest weeks this semester. It feels like all the professors got together and decided to pile up every assignment possible. I am swapped with tons of papers. My current motivation is my trip in 2weeks. 

I feel like I have traveled a lot this year. I love to travel. Sometimes I think I could live the life of a jet setter :)I am most excited for my trip to Nigeria in December. After 4 years, I am ready to visit family and friends that I have made over the years and hopefully meet new people. I was thinking it will be nice to meet some readers from my country that have been showering me with so much love and support. Well, until then, I can wait for Christmas! 

Wearing H&M cardigan, scarf, boots, pants; Aldo bag and feather earrings, MAC Ruby Woo lipstick

This weekend, I will be involved in Baltimore Marathon for charity, which will be fun even though I have zero training or running abilities. Anything for a cause will make me wear tennis shoes :)

What are you plans this weekend? 

Cheers to a great weekend!

Patterns & Color

I am feeling a lot better and thank you all for all the kind words and get well wishes--you guys are the best :) Your love and support is overwhelming and I sincerely appreciate it.

On another note, I am working on a beauty post. I have gotten so many emails and comments about what beauty products or make up that I use. I can't wait to do a post and share all my secrets--I am definitely not a make up expert; but what works for me might work for someone else.

Outfit: Zara pants, H&M blouse, Aldo bag & shoes, bracelets from Macys, Forever21 rings, Michael Kor Watch

I can't believe September is almost over. This means that December/Christmas is about three months away....Yayyyy! The more I see all the Christmas ornaments in stores, the more I can't wait for Christmas. I will most likely be spending Christmas or New years in Nigeria. I have not been to Nigeria in almost 4 years--I bet it will be fun and hopefully meet some of my readers and other bloggers.

Any plans for the weekend?

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Mellow Yellow

I wore this out on a Sunday afternoon with my hubby; but when I decided to take some pictures, the rain starting pouring out of the blue, so we decided to grab something to eat at La Madeline. I love La Madeline. I could eat their Caesar Salad everyday.

 

One of the best Caesar salad :)

I spent Sunday evening watching Emmy's red carpet, but I didn't get to watch the award because I had to finish up my assignment on Investment Portfolio. I didn't go to bed until around 1am or so. The next day at work, I needed a big cup of coffee to keep me alert because I barely had 5 hours of sleep.

 Taste as good as it looks :)

I hope everyone's week started on a good note. 

Let the color of my suit brighten you day :)
