Zara Belle

Another new week! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! For the most part, my weekend was relaxing and fun. I spent my Saturday cooking one of my favorite spicy Jollof rice--I wish you guys can taste it, but you will need bottles of water next to you to get through couple spoons--my friend Nomy can testify to it ;)

After cooking in the early Saturday afternoon, I went for relaunching of my hairstylist's salon, which was awesome. Since I am so into interior decorating, I was amazed at the interior decor of the salon. I have been taking notes because once I graduate next May, I will have a lot of time to transform my garage into my on walk-in closet. Right now, I am thinking all white with zebra prints, black, and red details. Until then, I am letting my imagination run wild. :)

On Sunday, immediately after church and couple pictures by my friend/photographer Paosin, I had to go to the library for two group meetings...my nerd hat was back in full force dealing with Investment Finance and International Business cases. I stayed in the library until almost 9pm. Immediately I got home, I could only picture my bed with Ipad scrolling through pictures. Few minutes to an hour later, I was in dream land with my music still playing in my ears :)

On another note, tomorrow is my mom's birthday, so I want to use this time to wish the most caring, loving, wonderful, beautiful lady in my life a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you so much mommy and cheers to many more years. Kisses!

To you guys, thanks for loving and supporting me!

Have a great week!

Big 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...

Metallic hues

How is everyone doing? I was in Atlanta for 3 days for a conference, which went well. I had the opportunity to network with different companies and students. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet up with some of my readers and bloggers from ATL. Hopefully, I will get another chance to meet them again.

Now that I am back to my reality, I have a bunch of assignments waiting for me. Thank goodness that I had today off from work to catch up, but I still had class tonight. I will be spending tonight finishing up on my study cases.

On another note, metallics are big for me this fall. I am in love with silver & gold metallics--there is something edgy and fun about those hues. I fell in love with the Zara metallic skirt and shoes once I saw it. I can get enough of the shoes as you can see from my previous outfit post here.

Get to Know Zalando

Some people are like me; love to seat in front of their laptops while browswing the next shoes or clothes to buy. Well, if you are looking for a place to buy a variety of shoes and clothes, you might want to check out this online store called Zalando.

Here are some of my favorite things from Zalando and how I plan to wear it:

Outfit #1: The brown dress is so elegant and adding the leopard pumps creates an edge, which is so me. I will definitely wear this outfit for a date night with my hubby.

Outfit #2: Florals and patterns are a great trend to watch and what better way to be girly, chic and edgy by wearing the above harem pants with the rock and roll shirt tucked in. I will definitely wear this outfit out with my girlfriends on a vacation like Miami or Costa Rica. :)

Don't forget to check out Zalando--there is something for everyone at the online shop.

Have 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!

Stylishly yours...

Outfit: Zara pants, clutch, shoes; Nastygal cardigan; Michael Kors watch; earrings by Guinevere from Nordstrom

When I was putting this outfit together, I was thinking of a casual work Friday; this leads to happy hour and dinner with co-workers and friends. Colored pants are here to stay. We will be seeing lots of colored pants this fall. Instead of pairing these pants with bright colored blouses, pair them with warm and subtle fall colors like burgundy or navy.

Outfit: Zara pants, bag, blazer & shoes; YSL ring, Michael Kors watch; Hermes belt; 

... a great outfit for Fashion Night Out with girlfriends. Animal print is must-have for fall, but it doesn't mean you have to be covered in animal print from head-to-toe. Adding a black tee to the  outfit gives it a more relaxed look. Also, a blazer and orange belt add color to the outfit without being too "summer" bright. 

Outfit: Giuseppe-zanotti shoes, Chanel clutch, Asos romper, Bracelet--Kendra Scott from Nordstrom

For a date night, besides wanting to wear a cute short dress, you can also wear romper/playsuit. For example, the playsuit shown above has this sexy and classy appeal. For this outfit, the statement piece is the Giuseppe Zanotti wedge. Metallics are another trend to watch. They add an edge to an outfit without going overboard.

Have a wonderful Weekend!

As The Sun Sets

It has been raining a lot all throughout this week; but today's rain is unbelievable. The weather was so bad this evening, I could not make it to class tonight--heavy rain plus flooding was not a good combination at all.

Prior to all the raining, I wore this outfit to the movies with my hubby. By wearing the blazer, I added a subtle tone to the overall outfit creating less attention to top and at same time, keeping it casual.

On a brighter note, I am so excited that we can officially shop Zara online--Whoop! Whoop! Since everyone in America can now shop Zara online, did you guys shop? What did you get? 

I created a photo album on Facebook called "Zara Wish List" that include items I love or already purchased. Check it out here and let me know the item(s) that you like.

Shorts: American Eagle

Bustier Top: H&M

Blazer: (Old) Forever 21

Bag: H&M

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Graffiti

How was everyone's weekend? My weekend started off greatly with a happy hour with my friends/coworkers. After some drinks and food, I headed off to celebrate with a friend of ours who was in town for Labor Day and also celebrated his wife's birthday.

Since this is Labor Day weekend here in the States, I am enjoying a long weekend. I pretty much slept in and enjoyed a mini BBQ with some friends that stopped over and squeezed in some studying and blog hopping :) 

The current shirt in the post is from Zara. For those that waited for Zara US online shopping, it is almost here. From  Sept. 7th you can shop online. Follow me on Facebook here because I will be sharing my Zara wish list ;)

Accessories: Gifted Necklace, Forever21 rings, Michael Kors Watch

I have had this bag for almost 4 years, but I have only used it twice. I can't even remember the online store where I got it from. :)

Wearing: Alexander Wang shoes

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. 

Have a lovely week ahead!

Leopard Maxi

It is Wednesday, which means that Friday is around the corner. I got back from class a couple of minutes ago. Today felt like a long day that would not end. I am hungry and ready to sleep.

I was so excited when I got home to find out that my hubby made dinner--how cute is that! Love him to pieces :)

Anyway, has anyone noticed how quickly the weather is changing? I am definitely ready for fall fashion and I have lots of ideas of things that I will be wearing. I will definitely do a post on "Fall Must Have" items; so ready for boots and chunky knits and cardigans. 

If you notice in these pictures, I used the gold strap of the bag as a belt :)

What items are you looking forward to wearing this fall?

Enjoy the rest of the week!
