MIXED AND MATCHED

Hi lovelies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend? I did! So sad January is ending I really enjoyed every bit of it but I am absolutely looking forward to the rest of the year. I have a few projects up my sleeves which I will be unveiling soon.
Today's post is about mixing and matching prints before that I'd like to say something. We meet different people everyday and the way we relate with them really matters. 'The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships' Anthony Robbins.People will always hurt us one way or the other, how we choode to react is key.As my Mom would say 'try as much possible within your capacity to be at live with everyone. One of the principles of designing is harmony. Colours, patterns, texture, etc must blend together to produce an harmonized picture. When you look for the best in others, you ultimately bring out the best in you! In life, living in harmony with everyone breeds a peaceful enviroment for all. First seek to understand and then be understood. Put others first before you!
I love to experiment, try a little this and that you know. I decided to try mixing prints, hmn! Mixing prints can be really trickish but fun if you know what you are doing. It is like painting a picture. Keep it simple and stick to same colour palette or families of colour if you are mixing patterns. If you are mixing same pattern but different colours, just make sure the colours blend in and not apart. You can go monotone, or try ombre for that edgy look. It was fun mixing and matching prints. It turned out well didn't it? I will be trying more of mixing prints.

In the dreamland

Hi Everyone! My weekend was just fabulous, I had so much fun. I had my birthday on sunday though am not so keen on parties. I just wanted to keep it quiet this year, spent the day with hubby which was just perfect.
I am reminded of Alice in the wonderland( hence the title) who despite all odds, she strived to find purpose and fufil it. Life is meaniless when you don't have aspirations or dreams. Anyone could have a dream, but not all dreams come true. Its all hardwork and determination. To be a star, you must shine your own path, and not worry about darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.
No matter what your dreams and aspirations are, if you give it all it takes it will all take shape. I often say to friends and clients, If you are passionate about anything and really put your all into it, it will be come true. Whatever is on your mind to do this year, get to it, stop postponing it.
I think it is really important that every young person find something they want to do and pursue it with passion. I am very glad I found fashion and I am passionate about it. I eat and live fashion, its wat i love to do best. I strongly desire to inspire faith through fashion. Outfit Details Ankara dress: Ofure dress from Mabeli Inspired! Shirt: Mabeli Inspired!

Print-a-coat

Hi Everyone! I am pretty much excited about today's post, you know that feeling when you finally achieved something that has been taking you a while to do. Yeah, right? I had this outfit planned for last sunday but i had to change last minute due to some uncontrollable circumstances. It wasn't funny at all but I learnt from that experience.
My experience made me realize that my attitude towards people and things around me is very important. Its more important than skills or gifts, facts, failures or successes, education, money or even what people say or think. Our attitude can make or break a relationship, a home, a company, even a church. You and I have that choice regarding the attitude we portray everyday. We can't change our past...we cannot change the way people act. The only thing we have is our attitude, life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it. We and we only are in charge of our attitudes.
So, I have resolved that to truly show that I am in charge of my attitude; I will first of, be more grateful to God to be alive.
Secondly, be more generous and expand my heart to accomdate lots of love for many many people.
And Lastly, humble myself to be of more benefit to others, helping them to acheive their greatest desires.

Made with Love

Hi Everyone! 'Happiness is an attitude of mind, born out of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumtances.' This is exactly how I feel as I write this post. I am so happy that I am doing what I love. Seeing my ideas take form gladens my heart and pushes me to forge ahead. Of course! the road to the top ain't easy, but I am determined to be persistent with my dreams. One day it surely come to reality. For now, its one day at a time!

Do you know that the fabric used for this skirt was handmade? Yes! Hand made by Mabeli Inspired. I had a plain fabric and decided to try a little bit of textile designing I had learnt. It turned out well, Its like wearing a canvas. Remember last year when I wore this crop top and said I will remix it, well here is it. Hope you enjoy it....

Wined and Dined


Hi Everyone!
A very happy new year to you. May this year bring you all that you truly desire.
I am sorry I have been MIA, trying to juggle schooling, family and business. This year i hope to do a lot better so help me God.

No one is in control of your happiness but you. You have the power to change anything about you or your life that you want to change. This year, make it a priority to be happy. Happiness isnt a destination but the manner of travelling. It is really a by-product of working, playing, loving and living.


To be truly happy; Love someone, anyone and shower them with loads of love. Work hard, Work smart and Lastly keep a clear conscience.

I had a wonderful new year celebration. As a tradition of ours, Hubs and I had dinner with friends. I wanted to look different and with a bang too. What better way to do that with a Jumpsuit and in a lovely colour at that.


Hope you love every bit of it. Dont forget to drop a comment, thanks!

 Hi lovelies,

I love it when your accessories make statement, especially if it is handmade. This bag from accessories by mabeli is beyond gorgeous. It can be paired with anything. I look forward to remixing this gorgeous piece. This umbrella dress is from mabeli's latest collection 'tres chic'. I will be wearing pieces from the collection. This dress is easily one of my favourites, from the colour to the fabric. Its made from knit fabric, so it stretches. I absolutely love it (of course i made it).

 
Hope you enjoyed it?

Houndstooth and leather

Hi lovelies,
How was your week? Hmn! My week was busy as usual in between preparation for my bestie'wedding and sewing for two bridal trains. I am not complaining, I am extremely grateful for this oppourtunity and the people around me who encourage me.
I dont follow all trends, I pick the ones I love and take my time to recreate it. I feel it is more appealing to try out trends when its declining. The monochrome trend is one trend that will never fade, it will always be around. The first time leather skirts, shorts ,trousers and houndstooth trend started I knew i had to have one but of course i waited.
So here is my take on the three trends.
Hope you enjoy....

Shades of blue



Hi lovelies!

How was your week? Been a while eh! I am sorry i haven't available for a while. Between my internet service provider crashing and my busy schedule. Blogging had to be on hold but am back.


Jackets are one of my favourites pieces, especially ankara Jackets. They are very versitile and can be paired with pants, jeans, skirts or dresses. I love the prints on this one.

Maxed Up



Hi lovelies!

How was your week? I had a really busy week and I was looking forward to the weekend.
Crops and maxis are a trend right now, what better way to try them out than to pair them together. Maxi skirts or dresses are very flattering for all body shapes, it elongates the legs. Crop tops are daring and edgy. You'll be seeing more of this trend on the blog.




I love the the patterns and colours on the skirt, so very vibrant. I got this from Mabeli Inspired newest collection. I didn't want to bare my mid section so I went for a high waist maxi skirt. I paired with a white crop top. I think it turned out well.

A PURPLE AFFAIR



Hi lovelies!
How was your easter hols? Been a while I posted on the Blog. I am sorry it has been due to my busy schedule but I am back hopefully.

I wore this outfit on easter Sunday to church. I always feel good in skirts, it is very flattering and gives me that cool edge. 

This skirt is from Mabeli Inspired newest collection. It hasn't been launched but I couldn't resist trying it out. I can't wait to show you more goodies from the collection. 

Purple is one colour I am loving this season.
