MID 20's ENTREE: VINTAGE STYLE
I don't feel dramatically transformed or anything like that but I do feel sort of a calmer sense of awareness that I am officially in my mid-twenties. It's kind of an exciting and anticipatory time of my life because like we all do at some point in our late teens or early twenties, I set goals and have a very clear idea of where I want to be and who I want to be around this age. Realistic or not, that tends to come with it's fair share of pressure which thanks to the grace of God, hasn't come crashing down or me or made me feel overwhelmed. If anything I feel a fresh sense of purpose and I've let go (to the best of my abilities for now) of the illusion of control and I've learnt to rest more on the grace and kindness of God. It really does make everything better and more peaceful.
So I do my best to focus like my destiny depends on it, (cause it does) on working towards my dreams and walking into fulfillment of my purpose, never wavering and always trusting that at the appointed time everything will come to fruition.
So here's to all the youngins getting ageing and destiny fulfillment anxiety: CALM TE HECK DOWN! everything will be alright, enjoy where you are right now no matter how underwhelming it might feel and just stayed focused on the future.
Onto my actual look, this is my first look on the blog at 24 so whoop! I went a touch floraly and vintage inspired so that was fun and on a completely random note I do feel a little wiser though (that's probably my juvenile alter ego speaking but Hey!)
Have a great day guys! Until next time....xxx

TOSS & POSE
Hi guys! Hope you'e all been having a wonderful day. This is one of those times where there isn't much of a story behind my look, It's just good Ol' me doing my thing in this easy casual look, tossing my hair and striking a Pose. So I hope your day turns right around if it hasn't been a great one so far.
Until next time...........xxx

WILD CANADIAN TUXEDO
Hi guys! I shot this busy and somewhat ecclectic denim look and it was kind of interesting for me cause I normally wouldn't have soo much going on but for some reason I just loved the look. The prescence of varying shades of leopard print, the gold accents from the jewelry and all that grey from my hair made for a very interesting mix. I also liked the idea of shooting against two different backdrops; One well lit by the sun and against a very organic tropical background and another more mute and composed with hints of grey from stones that complimented my hair.
Until next time....xxx

#TBT - 90'S RETRO
Hi guys! So oversized blazers and silhouettes this Fashion Season are all the rave and quite frankly they've been on trend for a few years now. Choosing to have a little fun with this trend, I decided to throw it all the way back to my birth era ( hey what can I say? forever a 90's baby!) and what do you know, It's throwback Thursday after all. Wearing my loyalty, I'm repping my friend's concierge company Koshila Concierge with their brand T-shirt; Add on a few modern twists like some contemporary architecture and bright orange lips and Voila! You have you the perfect retro 90's look.
Until next time......xxx

MIXED BACKGROUNDS
Hi guys, Long time no post. It's been a whirlwind year going through and finally rounding up my National Youth Service year a.k.a (NYSC) so it's something of a relief to get back to owning my time and life . I'm excited and a little nervous to see what this next chapter of my life holds and hopefully it comes with a lot less interruptions to my passions but I guess only time will tell. As far as today goes, for my welcome party, In addition to the most distressed jeans alive, I'm sporting equal part excitement and cavalier coolness with separate backdrops to boot.
Until next time....xxx
