I love my dress

I love dresses. Easy, quick fix, just throw it on and you're good to go. I felt really good wearing this beautiful dress I got from M&S a couple of weeks ago. It is so, so, SO(OOOOH) beautiful that these pictures don't even do it justice. My shoes were gifts and the earrings were a purchase (flea market) from one of the many trips I take to Paris. Nonetheless here are some photos...






I think I need to explore the area of MAKE-UP. I mean, I always feel like I can do more but I don't know how to start. I don't want to overdo it, ya know, just want to do it a bit more and work with a bit more. I had my hair up, then thought 'ummmm, why not braid it?' and as it turned out, I liked it a lot better this way.

Happy weekend everyone!

Little miss sunshine on a windy day

The weather in London is most definitely getting warmer. Windy at times, but I just can't wait until it's officially summer, I've really missed warm weather.
These photos are from last week, with sunshine spells and wind swifts in the air, definitely better than the nasty cold days. On top of all, I finally got to leave my coat behind and replace it with my Per Una knitted cardigan and summer dress I got a long, long time ago in Paris. Please summer, get here a tiny bit faster.






My bracelets were a gift I got on my 22nd birthday, which I celebrated in Guinea, Western Africa. The knitted cardigan is from M&S, Per Una, I adore the color which seems to be a twist between orange and coral. The dress from a flea market in Paris, the skinny belt from Primark and everything put together is me :)

Thanks to P.F. for capturing the moments

Black and gold

Still experimenting with my photos. I have to say that I really like the shoots, eventhough P.F., my photographer, really gets on my nerves at times. These are more of our test shoots and hopefully as we experiment, we'll evolve in the right direction in finding our personal style. At the end of the day, it's what sets you apart from everyone else - your own individuality.

More golden touch and a peek of floral

I got love for the 90's

Another day at school taking photos. I really likey my bomber jacket. The color, the fit, everything about it reminisces the 90's, and I absolutely love the 90's (check post of 'Born in the 80's but loving the 90's).

Turning back in time, if I fully lived the 90's in my teens, I think I would have been a Backstreet Boys groupie :b Love 'em xx, with the swagga of Salt-n-Pepa.

Point A to Point B and in between

For my primary researches, I decided to go to the British Museum in search of some inpiration. I am currently working on my FMP (Final Major Project) and my theme is based somewhere inbetween the history of Native Americans and my hometown culture, Guinea, but more details about my FMP to come soon. There is currently an exhibition about different types of art, eras of the history of art, etc...So check it out! #awesomestuff
I also met up one of the most beautiful people I know, Lyndsey, my friend from America :) who was in town :) :) #funtimes
Here are are some shots taken during the day...
Accidentally ripped my tights

Took a slight detour and stopped by Hyde Park #goodweather





Reached my destination, The British Museum and here are some interesting pieces I found. I honestly need to go back again and spend a whole day in there because there was so much to see...
Layers of scrap metal from coke can, vodka caps...

And a chair made of disposed military weapons

Up close

Test 1,2,3...Still working with my new found photographer, P.F. I first started blogging back in May 2008, but at that time, it was more of a basic journal.
4 years down the line, it is still a journal, my personal journal, just not as basic. I have learned so much over these years and with more exciting events coming up, I have decided to really focus on what I really want to do and do more with what I have available. But enough with that...
These photos were taken during lunch time and seeing them alone just reminded me how much I really missed writing about my thoughts, sharing my experiences, wearing what I like and being who I want to be, HELL YEAH!
With that said, I found this blouse at a 'clutter' shop somewhere in Paris, near Kremlin-Bicetre. While my heart was pounding and my eyes were glistening because of the fact that, at that moment, I was one in a million to find such a beautiful fashion necessity, my brother thought 'wtf?'. So I immediately grabbed it.
I mean don't you just love it?


I loooove my coral bangle, the color coral itself is so 'preeetty', mixed with golden bracelets
and a touch of studded earrings

Walking down a curved hill

Because I finish classes early on Thursdays, I figured I'll walk down the hill with my 'new found' photographer ( we'll refer to him as P.F for now) and *click, click, click* all the way down showing off my most adored man made fur coat and outrageously over worn Lacoste, seriously, I wear these high top sneakers everywhere. Here are the results of our project :-)

At an exhibition

Yesterday, Wednesday, I went to see an exhibition at the South London Gallery with my class. It was an exhibition about the work of Alice Channer, Out of Body. 'Slightly confusing but interesting' I thought. I really liked how she used digital printing to get the picture of the Greek statue on the drape.
Alice Channer - Out of Body

I wore this summery stripes on stripes outfit, but it turned out to be a rainy, really rainy and cold day :( I could barely feel my toes at the end of the trip.

Then came back to school, a warmer place...
