Nigerian News in Fashion- Jewel and Lisa

1 Comment »

Hello Readers,
I mentioned earlier in the year that I will be doing few posts on what's going on in Nigerian Fashion. Today, I bring you a very popular, stylish and fierce design named Jewel by lisa. I have followed her line for the past two years and I think she is freaking talented and just absolutely creative with her use of the Ankara fabric and incorporating it into modern styles while maintaining her authenticity. Her design is so popular, she participated in the New York fashion week last year and many American Celebities like Kelis, Lala and Thandie Newton have been seen wearing her pieces.

I know it's a little late to put up spring collections, but I wanted to share anyways and let you my readers bask in a well crafted talent. I hope to meet her one day or even wear her design.

Splurge or Steal - Floral Pumps

No Comments »

Hello My Fierce Readers,

Today, I wanna share with you all a blog post on my recent purchase. I was browsing through the internet the other day on floral pumps based on my recent purchase and I came across a blog about these same shoes. In January, I saw these floral pumps by Elle at Kohl's and I'm not sure what attracted me to them other than the fact that they were glossy and they stand out. I'm all about getting few pieces that most people would not normally reach for. Since our first encounter, I have been stalking the shoes to go on sales everyday (literally) and low and behold the night before I was going to run some errands around my nearest Kohl's I found out the shoes were on sales.

On the blog I came across and mentioned earlier, the Elle floral pumps are very similar to a Alice + Olivia floral pumps that retails for approximately $300. NOW are you ready to hear the price of the steal *Drumroll please*. The Elle floral pumps, originally retail for $60 I believe, they went on sales for $16.99 and your girl paid about $12.50 with coupons.

The point is not to show off how cheap I was able to get these shoes, but how to be wise in spending big amount of cash on certain item. Because these shoes are floral, it is going to be hard to get a lot of wear out of them. So finding a cheaper alternative or waiting for the shoes to go on sales is definitely a strategy that I use all the time. I believe I also shared this in my post about my Michael Antonio cutout wedges HERE.

Same story goes for the Enzo Angiolini Infiniti I just purchased
Retail for $110-120, Got them on sales for $28

So spend wise ladies especially for college Students like Myself
What are your trick when purchasing items you like but are beyond your price range?
BE SURE TO SHARE BELOW.
I am really planning on making a consistent blog post on all the items I have purchased from the beginning of the year after I get a break from school. So pleae bear with me
I hope you all have a blessed weekend

A casual sunday- Black, white and Neon

No Comments »

Hello Readers,
     I promised to have better pictures the next time I have a post up. I hope I fulfilled that. My photographer (my sister) is beginning to get tired of me always wanting to take pictures :(
    Today I want to share with you a short story about myself that can well apply to anyone out there. I start this blog post with a picture of my back turned because I want to center an idea around the fact that when we have our backs turned to the world people judge us and make assumptions about our well- being. People hate you because of what they see yet they don't know what you battle with behind closed doors. We all judge people to a certain extend but with the things that I continue to experience in life, I am slowly learning to reduce how I might quickly judge the person next to me.
    So what do I do to sometime keep myself going in the midst of the crazy things that happen in life, I love to dress up. The mornings I wake up with 0 to negative strength (due to a medical condition), I cry to God acknowledging my physical weakness and trust that he will carry me on his wings to get all that I need to get done for the day. Sunday's are one of my Favorite day of the week and I showcase strength and joy in the way that I present myself through dressing up. Though I attend a small fellowship gathering on campus, I'm always sure I make myself look as presentable as I can most days.
   People ask me why I dress the way I do sometimes even during the week, not to say there aren't other students who dress way nicer than I do...BUT I hope you get the point. 

IF YOU ARE READING THIS FIND SOMETHING YOU LOVE TO DO TO SHOWCASE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING THANKFUL FOR HAVING ONE MORE DAY TO CARRY ON WHATEVER BURDEN YOU CARRY. AND IF YOU'RE NOT A BELIEVER, KNOW SOMEWHERE IN YOUR HEART THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WHO TRULY CARES FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT- AND THAT'S GOD

I hope you all enjoy the photos and that berry looking Lipstick by wet n wild is my current fav right now. It instantly changes the look of my face. Thank you all!







If any of my readers have any suggestions on what they might like to see on the blog
I'm really trying to get more views on the blog, so I'm open to suggestions
Have a blessed week

Hello readers,
It's been a while...just a typical life of a college student. I try to stop by when I can to put up a style post.The classic Black and White has been everywhere from the runway to bloggers sites, but the good thing is that black and white has always been a classic from season to season. This outfit is just two ways I wear the same outfit casual and a little dressy. My shirt is a beige color i'm aware...just please go with the flow lol. I apologize for the roughness in the pictures, they where taken in a rush as I was running errands around town.  Be sure to follow me on instagram if you haven't yet @fierceboldnclassy.
