CASUAL THURSDAY-SWEATER AND CROPPED PANTS

Again.... No place to go cos of work week and a lot of deadlines....sad, so I decided to post my look to the office today, yes lets talk about the second best thing FASHION. It was raining really nicely, not too heavy and not too light.....Awesome Thursday..

So I decided to go with the V neck sweater cos am cold-prone, combined with cropped pants...Really lovely combo. Like I said before, am not much of a jewelry person, I just have a few pieces...I complemented this with a very nice metallic choker I bought from the  H and M store in Dubai July...

Before you see my look, just have a feel of the Sweater and cropped pants trend....




Solange Knowles so chic in this trend






Katie Holmes rocking the trend
Taylor Swift so effortlessly cute in this ensemble



 Like I said I gave mine a more edgy look by complementing with the METALLIC CHOKER...The metal choker is making a come-back even on the runways of some of the biggest names like Micheal Kors and Ellie saab...

Loved the choker...just have a feel of the choker spotted on some celebrities...
Gorgeous on Jessica Alba

Lovely on Halle Berry

Boss chic on Kim K.


 Now tan ta ta ta ta ta.....Presenting my interpretation in the  Nigerian Style ...hehe..*winks*.

BALOGUN MARKET LAGOS ISLAND: CHEAP ACCESSORIES SHOPPING + GREEN

Yes am back!!! and where do I have in mind???I just have to tell everyone about the splendid Balogun Market in Lagos Island ....If you are an "Ajebo" who likes to shop in Boutiques...well this is not for you....lol.

Balogun Market is arguably the largest market in Nigeria and Indeed West Africa. It's a sprawling market spread across so many streets on Lagos Island. Balogun Market is the best place to get great bargains on differenr fabrics: laces,ankara, Office wears  Jewelry and Shoes. This market is best explored with someone who knows the way around and understands how to bargain..

They have almost everything even Human....*mouth closed* loool...


Had a meeting around there and decided to look around to see what I could find... they have all kinds of jewelry from brand names like Asos to Claire to everything... I really don't know how they get it at the rate they do...Simply Impressive...I mean the earings are from 300-1000 Naira that cheap, the neck accessories are from N1500-N4000....So Instead of the accessories shops in Shoprite where you spend tons on costume jewelry, you can always look around the jewelry section of Balogun Market...You never can tell what you might find and the great bargains you can make...



Pictures from the Journey....


Dresses from Turkey and America

Jewelry from different places

Home and Abroad





Also Pictures of what I wore for the meeting around the area.... Green and Brown is a great Combo..."I wore my mummy dashed me earrings"....
