Reminder: Why i love fashion

Despite the fact that this video has been everywhere online for a while now, i just had to put it up. I don't like Pitbull's nusic but I love what it represents and love the way Alber Elbaz's mind works. Fashion especially in Nigeria is taken too seriously. what happened to looking good and having a good time while doing so. I don't know about you but most times i get new outfits, i dance n play around with them in front of the mirror. Once it passes my mirror test, i'm good to go!
Also i love the vid cuz it centers around my theme for my debut collection which you will be hearing news from much later. Speaking of debuts, will be putting up my first style post...
Oh, Alber Elbaz!! When next will you do a collaboration with a highstreet brand!!

Domesticated: Cupcakes and Donuts

I have no idea where this urge came from but lately I've felt the need to cook, sew and get my hands on. If you know me, I'm the type that does not mind a whole day in bed watching TV shows.... well "was" the type. i cannot lie it is really amazing. i find myself watching food network and actually enjoying it, searching for food recipes on about.com. My cousin calls it housewife behavior which i beg to differ.  Anyways, today was my lil brothers birthday and he was having a few friends over. Opportunity for me to whip out my spatula. I made cupcakes and donuts and stir fry chicken sauce for rice. I have no pictures of the sauce cuz the sauce had already been devoured before i could get my cam.... Yes it was that good.. lol




They didn't exactly come out exactly as i planned. That's the thing about baking, once u skip a step or miss a measurement, it could could bring a completely different turn out. The donuts came out tasting like a cross between buns and cookies, the icing was way too watery so it could not hold a particular design then the baking tin was bigger than the paper cases which brought about the mis-shaped cupcakes. I get an A for effort tight. Anyways, I'm not a quitter, I will keep trying till i get it right and once i do, i would give a full fledged tutorial.


My mum had another cake for those who don't like to experiment with their taste buds. I love birthday cakes, even when i don't celebrate my birthday, i always make sure i have one.  Here's the one i had on my last birthday

Its the black forest cake but i had mine made with milk chocolate instead of black chocolate. Here are some random pictures of pretty cakes... I'm all about the prettiness of the cake almost even more than the taste


I think it it could have been bigger





I specially love red accents on an all white or off white background cake



If you are a cake fanatic, you should catch Food networks cake off baking competition.

Couldn't stay away!


Its been a while since i blogged and i have to say that i have missed this. Instead of continuing my old blog, i have started this as a fresh palette mainly because it would be hard to continue the other blog as the motives are different. Now I'm trying a more Laid back, honest and down to earth approach. Would take the time to list out tips and mistakes i made in some other post.
I have been upto a number of things since i got off blogging and one of it is my Fashion line; Lady BiBa. Here are some of the pictures from the sample collection.
