WHO'S THAT GIRL !

Hi Guys,

Today i'm doing my first ever style feature, don't know if it's something i'll continue doing, but enjoy.

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.

Did you guys enjoy this post? yay or nay to the style feature,

To see more of Mide's fine self, check out and follow her blog; MideCoker .com

Live in love and smile, Jesus loves you.

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.

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,

African Thunder Storm

Summer nights,

so hot and long,

mosquitoes humming,

the symphony of generators.

All of a sudden,

a startling light,

a rumbling sound,

the palms be swaying,

the dogs be barking.

The air pervaded with  the sweet burgeoning smell of rain,

so welcome,

so earthy,

the sweet sweet breeze, caressing my heated flesh,

a quick word of thanks,

to Him who heard my pleas for the cool.

Hi guys,

This post was inspired by one of my numerous hot nights, which was  saved by sweet sweet rain.

It came to me as in a dream, hehe and a poem i learnt in my English Lit class also titled African Thunder Storm.

 I can't remember the name of the poet but it was in the African poems category and the descriptive quality of the poem was so poignant, it has stuck with me for over 4 years.

Have you ever been been so struck by a piece of poetry that it sticks with you, or it's all just over your head, if, i would love to know , pls do share with me.

                                              

                                               live in love
