Happy Happy New Year beautiful people!

I'm here to kick off the new year with the launch of a new accessory line 'FloGlo Stylez'!

FloGlo Stylez is a jewellery line comprising of contemporary and vintage style pieces with an African twist. FloGlo was established in 2011 but has been a work in progress until now; the pieces are finally available online from the Sunday 6th January 2013.

☆.D.I.Y Ankara Top & OOTN.☆

A couple of weeks ago I was let down by my tailor (as usual) who failed to produce an ankara dress for me, so I took it upon myself to sew something myself, a top. I only had around 6 hours to complete the top so I went with something simple that wouldn't take too much time to complete. I've never really had experience with sewing (apart from my textiles class in year 10 which I never paid attention in lol) so this was more an easy way to do it without any patterns.

Here's how I did it:

Step 1:

Trace around desired top twice for the front and back (I added length and sleeves to mine also).

☆.Graduation OOTD & Pictures.☆

It was my graduation back in July and I have only recently found time to finally sit down, organise and compile my pictures from the day. I still can't believe I am a graduate, it feels like only yesterday I was driving up to my uni with my mum and she was waving goodbye to me.... but the time has come for me to be a grown up guys and enter the real world!! (tears). I am just so thankful to God for all he has brought me through and where He is taking me!
Anyways here are a few pictures from the day and my outfits which where of course Ankara, Enjoy! :D.

☆.Africa Fashion Week Outing.☆

So I attended Africa Fashion week this weekend and it was certainly an experience (lol). It was at Old Spitafields Market, with many stalls on the day there was plenty to look at before the fashion show actually began.


JodiB's stall had some fun and bright clutch bags which really caught my eye.

Dionne Gooding's store also had various styles of shoes and clutch bags. What I really liked about her items where that some where also covered in flags.

☆.OOTN: Ankara Styles.☆

Like I told you I would be uploading more ankara styles, so here are some pics from my mums 50th birthday which was held last year. The pictures are some of the styles my friends decided to make with the tailor, hope you like it :)

This is a simple dress with a pink band sewn onto the dress.

☆.OOTN: Ankara top & dress.☆

I realised that I never show you guys what I wear when I go out, and trust me I go out quite a bit (especially to Nigerian parties) Sooooo here is my first post of my Ankara outfits. Hopefully this helps some people out there when they need to find styles to sew ankara, I know its so difficult for me! So I will be posting different pictures when I go to parties and different styles that I liked. Firstly starting with my aunty and myself.

Firstly make-up from the night, and I am also rocking some FloGlo Stylez. Stud earrings...(if you didn't know this is my accessory line soon to be launched!!)

So I got this top sewn when i was in Nigeria, it has a nice flared bottom with puffy arms. The belt pictured did not come attached I just added it.
