All i want for christmas!!

Soo I'm bringing out my Christmas wishlist earlier than expected so in case a lovely friend wants to start saving in time.. lol. They also include things i want to get for myself. My mum has said I give myself gifts too much, well GUILTY! I usually don't wait for people to get me things, I just go out and get them myself but its the season of giving and receiving so I'm very much open to gifts!

My very first is my favorite shoe designer in the world which i have no shoe from; Roger Vivier
1) The goddess and enveloppe

2) No news that i wanted almost everything from this collection

3) And during one of my Net a porter fantasy shopping sessions, I came across; Marlene! First thing I thought was that this is soo Carrie Bradshaw. Only for me to click and find out indeed it was inspired by Sex and the city. I love it because its so unlike me, a little more vivacious and outgoing than I am and that's how I like my accessories to be. Its almost two thousand dollars so I wouldn't hold my breath on this one but its a wishlist so...

3) A little more down to earth and we have The Patchwork sandal by Zara! I think its the perfect holiday shoe specially if you don't want to go all glitzy on your outfit. Its sort of similar to the Goddess too!

4)  From the talents that are Virgos lounge, I want the poppy skirt and i'm probably going to get it

5) Vintage bookcase. I think this came to me in a dream, I have no picture for this apart from the mental picture in my head. Its rustic and has a lot of texture to it! I may have to settle for vintage inspired as I've not seen anything close to what I want.

6) Two books for my imaginary vintage book case;

That kind of  concludes my list... for now lol! would be doing a post on Christmas gifts for family members. Even if you haven't given your family members gifts in a while, its a good time to start now. Also, remember the under-privileged this holiday, there are a number of charities you can donate to or do volunteer work like sharing out fliers or even getting others to donate to them!

P.s: I had to reduce the size of most pictures cuz they were not in high resolution

Loving "Vintage Love" + Style Post

Jewel by Lisa, one of my favorite Nigerian Luxury brands recently released the lookbook for their spring summer collection which was shown at the Arise Africa Collective at Newyork Fashion week. I really love this collection because of the artsy feel to it. The vivacious prints and colour plus the simplistic style results to what i call a fashion bomb. This is not my first time blogging about JBL, i have done a couple of posts on my other blog and i'm sure this won't be the last. i'm a huge fan of her work!
So here are a few of my favorites from the collection,

And my favorite from the collection is this very dressy dress below. I love the silhouette, I'm sort of falling for the 40's dress styles a la karla of www.karlascloset.com I tweeted earlier that the dress has that soho (in newyork) vibe and in my other life as a newyorker, I would throw on a faux fur shrug and strappy Giuseppe Zanotti sandals.

Another thing I love about the JBL brand is how well they have embraced social media. check out the Vintage love meets Newyork video

I must admit its quite daunting to be throwing my personal style photos after a professional models' but well....... lol! Took these over a month ago and i haven't had the time to put it up till now

The skirt is Lady BiBa. I got the fabric at an amazing deal, 300 naira say whattt from my fabric stockist. i was going to make a dress then i had a designer's block and a midi was the next thing on my mind. It has become my go-to skirt for lazy style days. 

Its soo easy to wear and style. One thing i noticed is it makes me look shorter so if you are looking to create the illusion of height, the midi is not for you.

I styled it with one of my favorite necklaces  (dunno where its from) and a vest from h&m.
