Happy Wednesday






It’s Wednesday darlings,

Can you believe it’s already the middle of the week.  Last week I was excited about the beautiful weather. Guess what? It’s freezing again today. Well, it was the perfect opportunity to pull out my stirrups again before I finally pack it away.

Because Am Happy!!!

Necklace: Forever 21 Bag: Coach Willis Shoes: Ivanka Trump Ariel Sandals  Earrings: St. John

Happy Monday Everyone,

I am so happy because spring is here and it’s finally sandal weather. Yesterday was so sunny. This week is supposed to be so beautiful .  Finally, good weather. Too bad I can’t use bad weather as an excuse not to put up my personal style posts anymore. LOL!!!  Well, I get to put away all my hosiery pretty soon, which sucks because I just purchased these sheer luxe stirrups from American Apparel. SJP  wore the same pair with a dress while promoting her new shoe line in Dallas and I loved the whole look and was immediately inspired. 

I decided to pair it with my print button up shirt and pencil skirt. Both are by Mossimo via my local Buffalo Exchange. I know its matchy matchy but, I think this actually works.  I’m not really into shopping at Target for clothes because of the quality but I will have to start peeking into the women’s department every now and then for fast fashion.  Quality aside,  it would be a great place to buy trendy pieces that you may not want to spend so much on.  Spend your money on well made classic pieces you can wear over and over again regardless of trend.

Before, I pack the stirrups away for the summer, I will have to try and wear them again one last time. 

Hope you’re Monday is not a drag.

Peace & Love,

Ifeoma

The style of An African City





I recently stumbled on the web series, An African City on You tube last weekend. An African City is created by Nicole Amarteifio, who wanted to show that African women can be beautiful, trendy and modern rather than just the face for an anti-poverty campaign. As, I watched the web episodes, I  couldn't help but think that it reminded me so much of Sex and the City.  It  follows five girlfriends; Nana Yaa,  Sade, Ngozi, Makena and Zainab, who previously lived and educated abroad and are current returnees to Accra, Ghana as they navigate cultural norms, career and romance.
