H&M's MEN SPRING COLLECTION.

You'all know that one of the things that gives me pleasure is a well dressed man... I can't explain it! 

I'm however not a big fan of the pastel fashion trend. I like my colors loud and vibrant, screaming "Look at me!"

I stumbled on H&M's Men Spring collection and I'm having a rethink.

Clean, simple and urbane is one of the ways to describe H&M's Men Spring collection featuring a pastel palette.   

A white shirt is a must have for any man.

Keeping it  clean but urbane.

Dapper!

An epaulette shirt is a fashion must have for every man... or woman. Can be dressed up or down.

Brilliant mix of pastels.

I  am seriously considering a foray into the fashion la-land of pale pinks, greens and blues. Gorgeous!

BIRTHDAY DINNER AT ZEN GARDEN.

Hey lovely people... I know, I know...I've been missing in action... again. *sad face* All I can say is this LLM thingie has been a female dog, I tell you!

It's been study, classes, seminars, presentations and I've actually forgotten how to play...:) Me! When did life get so serious...? Lol!

Anyhoo, this past Saturday was a friend's birthday and we had a surprise buffet get-together planned out for her. I grabbed the opportunity to get all dolled up and hop out of this blinking village... Yep, I'm actually holed up in one of the villages in England and there is no activity here whatsoever. Hah!

My friends all looked fabulous, so fabulous that an lovely Asian woman followed us on our way out of the restaurant to ask us if we were all models! Fancy that! Next thing you know, we'll be signing autographs! LMAO!

Susan (the Birthday girl) was so, so happy and that made us all very happy. Kudos to you all for keeping the secret. Lord knows it was not easy. At a point, I felt Susan must have smelt a rat! Lol!

In all, not a bad outing. 

Enjoy...

Our resident glam queens... :*

Before heading out... Forgive the messiness of my desk.

STYLE LOVE

Hey everyone! I'm back! Hopefully... Jokes aside, I need to commit to spending at least one hour on my blog everyday!

That has been one long hiatus and I've missed sharing with you my quirky discoveries and equally random thoughts. It's therapy of sorts that I've missed.

All I can say at this point is that the LLM is a female dog as someone put it not too long ago. The good news is that I've decided to stop moaning about it, get on with it and have fun while I'm at it. Sounds like a brilliant plan, dunnit...? Someone give me a clue to mastering the art of time management in a place where the days rush by in a blur.

Oh well, back to the things I love which give me joy. No point quitting blogging over this not so little hassle, is there?

One quirky fashionista has caught and held my attention for a while now and inspite of myself I've jumped on the bandwagon of adoring and fervent worshippers at this style goddess's altar.

I present to you - the incomparable, the magnificent, the ever stylish - Miss Solange Knowles...

Swag...

At the recent NYFW. Check out how glossy that 'fro is.

Simple = Stylish.

This is my kinda swag right here... :)

In this era of trends following, you said it!

Lady DJ? On another level*full stop*

You know she made it work!

Most of all, I love the fact that she's been able to carve a distinct style niche for herself. It ain't easy being Lady B's little sister, that's for sure.

Check out more of Solange's style on MY DAMN BLOG. It's also a photograpy enthusiast's delight.



Peace & Love

NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY... EVER.

I'm sorry to sound rather cliche but my title post has become like something of a mantra over the last couple of weeks. A little something I mutter repeatedly to myself when I'm tempted to ask myself what I've signed myself up for. As I write this I'm huffing and puffing up one of those little hills that dot Buckingham, trying to meet up with a lecture in Oil and Gas, (which all happens to sound like jibberish at the moment). At the same time, my tendons are shrieking in pain and begging me to slow down. My lungs have me blowing like a horse in all this cold air, but what can I do???? I thought I'd left all this behind when I left the Law School years ago. And I really do not want to go into the course work at the moment which sounds more frightening than anything I've ever had to do thus far. Yes! More frightening than the Nigerian Law School and even Practice, I hate to admit. But who wanted the extra feather on her cap? Yep... Me!

Pretty much 2 weeks since I got to Buckingham, England and I'm still not quite adjusted to anything and for that reason I've been running around like a headless chicken for most of the time. It's still dark by 9.00am and the sun sets by 4.00pm. For that reason, I can't seem to jump out of bed until a couple of minutes before 9.00am and my system goes into sleep mode by the time its 6.00pm. I've been making a considerable effort to adjust as quickly as possible. One of my new words for the next couple of months will have to be 'Time Managment'.

So far, the experience has not been too bad... minus the eternal cold and dreary weather. My Mom said 'Enjoy the experience, it'll make it easier.' And I think she's right. We had one of our Seminars today - the first for me. And instead of actually being a little at loss, because there was a lot of interaction involved between the students and the Professor, I was actually going for it much to my surprise. It's not about being wrong or right, I discovered. It's about learning., which I'm quite determined to do - and enjoy it while I'm at it.

No more moaning, no more complaining. It's time to roll up my shirt sleeves and dive in the murk and give it all I've got, growling all the while. Afterall, I do intend to put bread... and meat ... and wine on my table from it all. Here's another of my favourite sayings for you - When the going gets tough, the tough get going!!! Raaaarrrr!

I miss you guys and will get back to blogging - with fantastic pictures as soon as possible.

xoxo
