April 2018 Mood Board

 

It's beeeeen a while, it's been a long time actually. It's been almost a year since I've blogged. All I can really say is that I've been preoccupied, mostly with school and graduating. I will definitely write an update post soon! My only social media presence has been on Youtube, so you can follow me on there for frequent videos!

While I've been away, I've been stocking up on my favourite images on Pinterest, these inspirations are based on fashion and photography. I hope you all enjoy, and don't forget to add me on Pinterest!

Here is what I like about these looks:
1. Denim on denim
2. What I like to call the "industrial sports look" mostly inspired by Virgil Abloh, see through clothing, crop tops and coats, and retro sunglasses
3. Wide sleeves
4. Platform shoes
5. Leather and oversized coat.

Hope you enjoyed this post! What inspires your style?

Style Crush #1: Ryan Destiny

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well! I know it's been a while since I've blogged about fashion. But I am back at it again and this time I have a style series. Ever since the show Star on Netflix premiered, I have been obsessed with Alexandra Crane's (Actor: Ryan Destiny's) style on the show and on Instagram! When I walked into Zara and saw these red and white wide legged pants, I thought of her outfit from Instagram with the similar navy blue pants that she posted! It also gave me the idea of starting a new series on my Youtube channel and on my blog called style crush. This series involves my favourite celebrities, bloggers or Instagrammers style which I try to replicate and recreate in my own way, using the items I have in my closet. Below are my favourite Ryan Destiny outfits and the ones I have recreated with my own twist. I hope you all enjoy this new series!

One year

Hello everyone!

I just want to take this opportunity to thank the people who have supported my journey with this blog. I am grateful for the people who check in once in a while, even though I barely post. Like I always say, it's this time of the year that I take to blogging to share my feelings or interests. I just realized that this month marks a year that I've started my blog and my Youtube. I love my blog, it is a webspace where I can express myself and share my interests and creativity with you all. That's why I made it. Because I needed a get-a-way from the rush of life and the stress from school.

Holiday Party Outfit Idea

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been on the blog. That's because I've been focusing on Youtube. I found a new love in filming and editing fashion videos!

End of Summer OOTD

Hello everyone, I know it's been a while since I've posted. To be honest I've been trying to enjoy summer the most I can. Living in the moment and focusing on the people around me is what I've been busy with this summer. It was very enjoyable as I had a lot of free time because I had no school. I got to spend leisure time with family and friends and it was truly calming.

African Fashion Week 2016

Design by Ofuure

A few weeks ago I attended a few fashion shows. One of them was African Fashion Week. I was able to sit in the front row seats and get the best shots of the designs.

Back and Better

Hello everyone! I know you’ve all been wondering where I’ve been. The answer to that is: school. Finals szn is over and I finally have the summer free from school! Apologies for my absence, but focusing on school and dealing with stress from finals took it’s toll. I literally needed a one week break to bounce back from writing 6 finals.

I’m back and I’m better because I’ve taken a proper break. I’ve been sleeping in almost every day! Enough of that, here are few photos I took while hanging out with my good friend Abijah. Check out her blog here: bijaswardrobe.wordpress.com.

We went to Downtown to chill, and came across this coffee shop.

February: Mini Update (Instagram)

Hello everyone!

This month has been extremely busy for me. Mid-terms and term papers seem like they are never ending! Enough complaining about school, because we all can imagine the struggle ;). I may be a little late on this, but it’s time for a monthly update. I thought it would be great to add a few pictures from my instagram since I update there regularly.

Keeping Things Simple

4 Things: January

Hello everyone!
I have started a new series on my blog where I share with you four things on my want list every month, you will get to see if I got the products because I will post reviews at the end of every month or the beginning of a new month!
Hope you all enjoy, and I will also love to know which products are on your want list as well.

Time for new

I’ve always adored new things. Whether it be the feeling I get after experiencing something I haven’t before or just a new year, a birthday, a new place or a new chapter of my life. The upcoming ‘new thing’ is a new year. Looking back at my 2015 new year's resolutions, I have fulfilled 80% of it and that makes me very proud. “New things” have always made me happy because it signifies moving on to something greater. 2015 was a rocky year but at the end, everything fell into place. I met new people that changed the way I think about life, I got into my major and reached many goals I had planned. Not everything worked out perfectly but I am certainly grateful for the things that have. Almost every year, for as long as I can remember, I’ve had a new year's resolution. For 2016, I don’t. Instead I have a list of things and lessons that I’ve learnt over the year.

Enjoy the Holiday

So all my finals are done, and school is over for the year! It is great to finally relax and have some extra time. I have so many plans in my head I don’t know how to start! So I am going to share a list of how to get the best out of your christmas break.
