CONCRETE JUNGLE

Hi Guys,

As promised, these are some pictures from my vacay, this was the 2nd day in the city, I wore my ST Weddings Tee and my trusty plimsoles/converse or whatever they're called.

We took the train, then the subway, Lagos definitely needs some express  trains pronto, very smooth ride, then we took the subway.

We noticed that almost everyone wears sneakers in the city, even women in power suits, so much walking around, comfortable shoes are key and of course we had to get Dunkin Donuts, Simpsons had me salivating throughout my childhood.

 

                                     Goofing around the Rockefeller Center, such a beautiful spot.

             The Concrete jungle , releasing my inner Alicia Keys (lol)

 *These Tees are for sale, so if you're interested, you can contact me or send me a mail at Ankarapixie@gmail.com

Live in love and smile, Jesus loves you.

Vacation Mode

Hi Guys,
I've been ( still am) on a mini vacation right now,as my sister steph said, even CEO's need a vacation (lol). Heading out, I didn't think I would be on vacation from my blog as well but alas, the Reign of laziness began, so many cute outfit posts and such and such planned but we know what happens to the best laid plans.

I didn't have a definite idea writing up this post, but i think i shall share some travelling  tips/tricks/nuggets I've picked up over time (mostly from my mother and sisters).

1) Always get to the Airport 3 hours before time of flight.

2) Always set your watch to the time of every country you get to, with the clock at the airport, the automatic update on your phone can be an hour late or early.

3) Always use the restroom when you find one, could save your life!!!

4) Always wear comfortable shoes !! you never know when you'll need to RUN.
don't know how these celebrities do it in heels.

5)  Be nice to people, you never know who's going to have that useful information you'll need.

These are the top 5 I can come up with off the top of my head,  travelling is an adventure, be it local or international, I wonder if people become complete pro's at it, hope to become so, one day,very soon.

To Frequent Successful travelers i doff my hat.
I'll be putting up some pictures soon, till then

Live in love and smile, Jesus loves you.

This is MIDE COKER, of Mide Coker .com 

 I've known her a while and we've become cool friends .

I think since I've known Mide, shes's been a blogger, her blog was one of the first personal style blogs I followed and may or may have not influenced me to start up my blog.

If I was asked to define her style, I would use words like, Risk taker, Fashion forward, vintage lover and Ankara/African prints enthusiast.

Nice Surprise.

Hi guys,
A while back I reviewed a book by John Greene,HERE, "looking  for Alaska", I really enjoyed the book so I went on to read several from the same author.
One of the books that moved me to tears was "The fault in Our Stars", and I am  not easily moved to tears (or am I ? ) so it was really something.



 I don't know if its just me with the very visual mind, but that book and its characters came alive in my head and I totally loved it.
Fast forward 7 months, the book has been made into a MOVIE !!!,  I'm am so excited, although I haven't yet seen it, I imagine it will be awesome and deeply emotional, while it was showing, I was too deep in the storm that was examinations to go see it, but I watched the trailer over and over again and it was almost everything I had imagined while reading the book.
I really hope the director and producers didn't mess with the dialogue too much because that was what made the book so interesting and captivating in my opinion .
Have you guys seen it? Read the book?, tell me how it was, awesome or wishy washy. let me know what you guys think.

Been a while I did a proper book review, one coming up very soon *wink wink*

Live in love and smile, Jesus loves you

SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

Hi Guys,
It seems like forever since I've been on here, like a totally different person has occupied the space in my head, but that's talk for another day.
I've never really fancied flower prints, always got a "mummy" vibe from them, but this top for some reason caught my fancy, maybe because I hadn't bought anything in ages , who knows, so I paired it with jeans for a casual day of stuffing my face with nice food and drinks.
Originally intended to pose by some flowers and greenery but was convinced by some professionals to go with the concrete, it would've been  flower overkill, glad I didn't.

                                                                      It's good to be back !

Thanks Olamide and Korede for the pretty pictures *kisses*

FINE WINE

Hi Guys,
You may have noticed from my birthday post, my HAIR,  in so much as i love colour, I am generally not an adventurous person when it comes to my hair colour, colouring, bleaching , dyeing my natural hair is out of the question, so when i found this lovely black and wine weave, easy to manage, went for it .

I got a lot of compliments , weeks and weeks after and i totally LOVE it.

People are becoming more and more adventurous with colour, seen green, blue, pink of the ombre effect, well not in Lagos as of yet but I'm sure it won't take long to get here.

Would you consider blue/green tips? Kylie Jenner makes it look too cool but ...........

I don't normally put in much effort to go to class, i mean its class, but today was yearbook picture day so haay, still went very natural but polished (i think).

Got these nice pictures courtesy my darling Olamide of Mode Juridiue  and Mide Coker Photography.

Yay to colour bombs or black forever ?

FAIRLY LEGAL.

Hi Guys,
It was my birthday recently, May 11th and i had a WONDERFUL day, thanks to my friends, family and loved ones who came through for me * love you all to the moon and back*

First outfit of the day was to church, it rained pretty heavily that morning, woke up in a panic, lol, but everything works out for good to those that love the lord abi and it did.

Then, we headed out to the beach *beach is better*.For the longest time, I've wanted to celebrate my birthday at the beach, i just love the sea breeze and the freedom i feel whenever i'm there, although this private beach had become more of a public one, we still managed to have a nice time.

                                                 My Turn Up Babes *wink wink*

                                                PAPA PAPA RAZZI

Herein lies my 21st birthday in pictures, its about 2 weeks but o well , I didn't take pictures of the food and refreshments, not yet gotten to the stage of seeing my life as blog posts but the food was delicious.

Regardless of what may be going on in your life, never be too busy or sad to celebrate life and love.

Live in love and smile, Jesus loves you,

PRISTINE LEATHER.

Hi Guys,

During one of my numerous market ventures, i found this lovely leather material and decided to make a skirt with it. It took me a while to get round to it , it wasn't easy but i was determined (hehe). Paired it up with a pristine white shirt and burgundy and gold accents.

This outfit got a lot of compliments when i wore it, what do you guys think ?

It's birthday season in my house !!! May Babies , whoop whoop,
Giving a  LOUD shout out to my sister, Stephanie Obi, today's her day, love you sisi * kisses*
Mine's coming up on Sunday, I'm definitely too excited, hehe, but it can't be helped.

Live in  Love and smile, Jesus loves you,
