SILK

When i ain't wearing Elsie Vintage or Zara (I am convinced Zara is out to bleed my bank account dry and send me back to my village), I love wearing pieces from Nigerian designers. While people are convinced that anything made in Nigeria is far too expensive beyond reason, i like to add that all it takes is to find a nigerian designer who makes something within your budget.
I am wearing a Tzar by Ian audifferen silk shirt in this post. Although the brand specifically makes shirts for the male gender, i believe the shirts are quite unisex depending on how you rock 'em.

Shirt;- Tzar

Trousers with leather panel;- KDK London

Watch;- River Island

Shoes;- Zara

Bag;- O'eclat "Fafi" Bag. (yup! the bag's named after me. Dope. :D )

Early this year, i discovered that my skin was suffering and the makeup was doing more harm than good. I decided to stop putting on makeup, drank lots of water and no fizzy drink for 3 months. My skin cleared up.

STUDIO VISIT;- GREY VELVET

I was invited by the good folks at Grey Velvet store to come check out their new place in Lekki. I made my way down to go check it out as it wasn't far from my work place. I must say it didn't disappoint. 
The store is located in a new shopping mall whose layout is absolutely amazing. The ambience and the decor of the store was oh-so-cute. The clothes were beautifully arranged in the right way. If you know me, you'd know i am a sucker for excellent visual merchandising in retail stores.
