Spring came with a lot of blog posts that went on and on (and on!) about closet/home decluttering. I couldn't help but wonder, after all the spring cleaning What's next? What do we do about all the extra (maybe a couple of bags full) 'belongings' hanging in those hidden spots?

Hello Lovelies,

Happy Friday!!! It's the weekend -finally!.

So, I'm going to be sharing 3 ways to ensure that your wardrobe (or home) stays decluttered, not just for spring.

1. Sell, Donate, Recycle

Sell, if what ever pieces you cleared out are worth something , why not make a little money by selling them? Think of it as a way to kick start the savings for that new bag you couldn't get your eyes off or just kickstart a savings account.

Better still, You could donate it to charity, someone could definitely benefit from your little clutter.

All unwanted items = Out The Door!

2. Sentimental belongings? Take care of them!

I know how we feel about Sentimental items. We all have emotional attachments to certain belongings that reminds us of moments or people that can be very difficult to part with. I know I do (I have two of my dad's shirts I still wear 'till today)

My advice, If there are items that has some family sentiments, pass it on. Tackle Sentimental belongings and remember they are only physical representations.

3. The Old Habits, Need to Die.

Old habits are difficult to kill but are worth it. Getting rid of these habits will prevent the clutter from creeping back in. The secret to a clutter free home is making a huge effort by creating brand new habits that help to maintain your new decluttered home.

Invest in self-care, neglecting this can be the reason why we end up in a clutter-filled 'world'.

Lastly, Enjoy Your Home (or wardrobe - wherever has been decluttered)

Appreciate what you own and be entirely content.

Thank you so much for reading, Loves.

Love Always,

I think we all have those moments when we eye items from online stores and we just add to the basket, close the window and continue some other time, because we just can't afford them yet.

Well, I do. When A reader (Hi Remi!) asked me the other day, what my most wanted spring fashion items were, I simply made a list here (if you haven't read it, please do). Then I realised I had so many items in carts, across various online stores!!

Hi lovelies!

These are some of the items in my current 'save-for-later-whenever-i'm-ready-to-treat-myself' list.

Oh and BTW, I'm Reading this, it was gifted to me on my birthday, thanks mom!

In the cart:

1. Silk flared pants From Missguided

I'm obsessed with Missguided. So, when I saw this silk flared pants I absolutely fell in love. Did I mention I loved Flared pants? I can totally see myself in this with a lace body suit, having my well deserved birthday soiree.

2. Double belt cross strap sandals From Zaful

I'm totally planning a huge Zaful haul soon, and when I do this sandals will be my first purchase, because I absolutely love their pieces. The fantastic thing about them is they ship to Nigeria and they are very affordable.

3. Boyfriend's Jeans From Levi's

I cannot express how disappointed I was when I discovered that Mr Price Nigeria only stocked ripped boyfriend/mom jeans, they weren't even ripped in those cute little way -it was like someone angrily ran a laser through them.

Okay, Levi's are like the absolute go-to for everything denim, and I love this particular one.

4. Celine Phantom Tote

Talk about Lovely Leathery Luxury.

I love me some Céline. I might not be able to afford them anytime soon, but it'll keep sitting cute in my cart - alongside the 6 others.

5. Fenty x Puma Bow Sneakers By Rihanna

Oh the cuteness!!!

I love these babies, I love everything in the Fenty Collection. I mean, how cute does it get?

That's it for some of the items I'm completely lusting over but are currently taking the 'chill pill' in their various carts.

The Janitor-Inspired Trend You Should Try This Spring.

Don't worry, the bucket and mop isn't included.

Hi loves!

Happy Monday! Why do i feel like the weekend lasted only 5 minutes?

For Lovers of everything Jumpsuit and career inspired fashion, like me, the utility fashion trend is not new at all.

This is used for creating a statement in the most practical, masculine and maybe the most cumbersome piece of clothing.

On the SS17 runway, Designers like Kenzo and burberry gave us inspired versions from various shades of khaki making this trend appear very tricky to pull off, which is far from the truth.

This look is very flattering on every body type and can easily transform from day to night when paired with the right accessories (or colours).

Many of this season's designs are very versatile, its not just the good ol' khaki anymore, there are denim, colours, silk versions and button downs, giving you an option of having these buttons done up for the ultimate workman chic look or popping a few open for that sultry night look.
Whatever your style is, there's some janitor vibe for everyone!

For a snazzy daytime look, pair your suit with your go to pumps and a tote or a backpack and sneakers (cool kids yo!) - don't forget your military-inspired aviators.

And for the night time, Switch it up with some strappy or statement heels or a silk scarf to balance out the extra cleavage (that might be poppin' out). Also a great way to add some colour to the mix.

What do you think of the Utility fashion trend and how will you style yours? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading xo.

Hope your week is as fabulous as you are!

MAC 'Light Festival' Eyeshadow x9 Palette: Review

Hi Loves!

Happy Friday!

So, October 30th 2016 was the Diwali festival - Hindu Religious Celebration- and MAC decided to release a limited edition eyeshadow palette in honour of the Festival

I literally don't know why I was able to buy this in Lagos but I did, for 23,000 Naira ($75) no kidding!

This palette features 9 vibrant and rich colours that represents the fireworks displayed at the festival.

L-R:

TOP ROW: Rice Paper, Goldmine, Amber Lights.

MIDDLE ROW: Coppering, Cranberry, Embark.

LAST ROW: Humid, Deep Truth, Carbon.

PROS:

1. It comes in a lightweight and attractive travel size container with a transparent flip cover.

2. It's a must have for metallic, bold jewel tones lovers.

3. It's really long lasting.

4. It works amazingly on Light skin tones.

CONS:

1. It's not very flattering for Dark skin tones

2. The colours are not pigmented, especially the Brown and Black hues.

3. It was really expensive - which is not surprising for a MAC product.

4. The Black (Carbon) shade is very stiff and requires a lot effort with blending.

Swatches:

The colours are not as pigmented as I would have loved them to be.

However, I spray some hydrating mist to my brushes before application - or distilled water- this sort of 'awakens' the colours making them more vibrant (It doesn't affect the shadow)

Before Mist:

After Mist:

PS: with or without the mist, The brown and black still appears kind of dull, which is nice if you're using it as a transition colour.

I love the Amber lights hue which is the Rich Orange Copper- like shade, it's one of the most pigmented and doubles as my highlights. The Rich Shimmery Sapphire Shade is just simply too cute - I love how rich it is.

Will I repurchase?

Probably Not.

It doesn't work for darker skin tones.

Availability:

This Particular palette is Sold Out, but some colours made a reappearance in the permanent collection. I'd try to find them and attach a link.

Thanks for reading!

Have a fabulous day xo
