I’M BACK!!

 It’s been a minute. 

Getting back here feels so good. I miss food blogging. I don’t know if people are still into reading blogs but I think I will put efforts to find my way back. If for nothing, for posterity sake. 

A lot has happened in the space of my absence. I’ve definitely gone through a lot of changes. And I hope my growth reflects in my posts. 

Looking forward to getting things running here. Thanks for sticking with me!

SUNDAY WEAR;28TH AUGUST 2016.

Hello everyone.

It's been like three weeks since my last post. Hope everyone's being having a wonderful time. 

My post today is about my black and white cold shoulder shift Dress.  I made it during the week and I had An option of this dress or another. But chose this because this Sunday we were to wear green or white. The second Dress will be worn soon.

 I also made an ombre Dress for lily. Yep! She's caught the dress bug. She keeps asking me about dresses for her and she has a description for what she wants.

 This is lily and she's a fashion conscious little girl.

 Photo credit is by my son so a little goofiness was expected.

 We rocked this outfits well I think.

The shoulder of the dress had star studs. Three on each shoulder. 

 So, have a lovely week everyone. X.O.X.O

PINK AND BLACK. COLOUR CORDINATING WITH MY GIRLS!

Hello every one. 

Hope we all had a great weekend. I know I did;mostly because of church. It's always a good thing to fellowship because we get new insights into God's holy word.

 So for today's post I wore a pink and black faux wrap dress. It had turn up sleeves and it was maxi. For Bella, I made her a pink Dress and a jacket which she's not wearing in the pic. Maybe on another Outting and lily is wearing a black dress with a jacket I made using black with white Zip zag pattern all over it.

 Yeah,bella is a tough cookie to get her to take pictures. You hear a lot of 'bella see'.lol

 This is the only pic I got of me solo. So...there!

Here's a pic of the kids dresses.

 I have  to end this post with a part of the message from my service yesterday. Whatever you are today(the person you are now)is as a result of words you've spoken. You are the one that shapes your life. We have to realize that our words are powerful. The bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue. Please speak good so you can get good. Have a lovely week y'all

THE CAPE DRESS AND THE WRAP DRESS OUTTINGS.

Hello everyone. 

Hope we've all had a great week

 I've just been lazy to put these posts up;hence the two in one post. 

 Well,this are the 2 dresses I made for me in the past 2 weeks. 

Any questions about how I arrive at this outfits are always welcome. 

 For the first outfit, I made a cape dress. Using a stretchy fabric. So the dress wasn't lined. It had a long zipper at the back that extended down to the length of the dress.

 I loved the way the Cape draped over it like a big scarf.

 The outfit had a touch of pink so I accentuated that color with the pink bag

F

and pink zipper.

 For my second Dress it was a wrap dress. I live wrap dresses. This was made from stretchy Silk. It was a combination of dull pink and black. The sleeves were long but not reaching my wrists.

 It was longer at the back and shorter at the front.

 It's flared from the waist downwards.
That's all for this week. Thanks for stopping by. X.O.X.O

WHITE COLLAR DRESS

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I know I am. 

I missed a post last week and this week's post is delayed. My apologies. 

For what I wore to church this week, I made a dress using ankara and then added white details on it using a plain white cotton fabric for the collar and then a white cord trimming for the sleeve and dress hem. 

 It was a simple yet nice Dress.

 Service in church too was great. We had a hosanna service and the music was awesome with great music artist performances. You know, when you're in God's presence and you're reminded once again about the fact that he's always there! Sometimes we forget that fact and try to resolve things with our own ability, we think we have to figure it out all by ourselves. But there is a better way,laying it all on him and trusting that like he promised when he said we should come heavy laden and he will give us rest.

So I go into this week trusting the fact that he will provide, he will protect,he will shield,promote,guide and the fact that he has got the week figured out for me. I hope everyone has a beautiful week. X.O.X.O

MY SUNDAY WEAR JUNE 19 2016

Hello everyone, 

For church today, I decided to make an asymmetrical skirt using ankara.it was then stoned with multi colored stones.

 For the blouse I wore with it, i knew i either wanted a crop top because I wanted to make the skirt high waisted, so wearing the crop top over the skirt would still be appropriate for church or the other option was an off the shoulder blouse. But after making both I went for the cropped blouse with cut outs.

 I wore a white head Scarf because we had a celebration for my Deaconess that required my group to either wear a silver or grey Scarf. This I must confess is the first Scarf I've tied by myself with help from YouTube.

 In this picture I think I was yelling for my daughter Bella who was almost out of the gate cos mommy was taking pictures. Lol

I think the whole look came together nicely. My opinion though. Have a lovely weekend everyone.

MY SUNDAY WEAR.JUNE 12,2016

Hello everyone, hope we all had a beautiful Sunday. I had a blessed one. 

On today's outfit, I decided to make a straight Dress using a red cord lace. I was supposed to line it with a black fabric they call 'duchess' but I had this royal blue duchess fabric lying next to the black and when I placed the red over the both of them(the black and the blue) I preferred the combination with the blue. 

 But classic me,i decided to seek the opinions of some of the people that work with me and the reaction from the combination with blue was far better than with the black so blue was in and black was out.

 I started cutting the dress by Saturday afternoon. I made the blue appear as a longer hem on the dress and also used it to tape the neck of the dress.

 The blue fabric was also used as a demarcation at the back. About 10 inches apart.

The sleeves were made with the cord lace. The dress had a princess dart at the front and a straight dart at the back.
 Please ignore the background. After church we were waiting in the car at some place we decided to stop for a minutes. That's where I took the pictures. I always feel awkward taking pictures where people can see, so I chose a really secluded area to take them. 

 I hope you like the look. Feel free to comment. Have a lovely week.
