The Head-turning Blazer

Lovers, 

On Saturday night, I NEEDED to take a break from sewing as I prepared for my runway show on Sunday.
My girl, Shariena, my brother Ten and I went for a drink.
We went to The Bitter End

I wore this light blazer and it turned some heads :) 

This blazer has ALL the colors I love. 

(but I'm beginning to think I should explore other colors too..lol)

Lovers,

Now I wish I could stream this live and share with all my fab lovers, 

but sadly, this invite has to go to my local family, Halifax.

(and i will try by all means to get a video for everyone else).

Despite a couple of moments of uncertainty caused by my machine breaking.

I'm excited to officially invite you to my likkle runway show.

I would be so honored if you'd come and hang with me and check out my newest little collection of clutches. 

I was due to debut my clothing collection, but I've decided to work on it a bit more. 

Looking forward to see you

xoxo

Photoshoot OutFIT

Lovers,

Today I had a photographer sent to me to snap some pics of moi. 

In the next little while I'm going to have a feature in a business magazine published by an organization 

called the Black Business Initiative. 

It was WEIRD being on the other side of the camera, I must say...

So I got all dolled up, thanx to my love and make-up artist Shyne. 

Check out what she did to prettify me and also check out what I wore for the shoot.

Ferry RIDES & nice Breezes

Lovers,

For the past couple of weeks I have been on the Ferry more times than I've ever been in the last 6 years that I have lived in Halifax. 

I think it's because I have motion sickness, so I just avoided it. 

However, I realized my body can actually handle the ferry, it doesn't go too fast and there aren't a lot of waves. 

Check out a few pics I have snapped while on the ferry

OUtfiT Catchup

My camera is sick :(

I dropped my camera and I dunno how I'm gonna keep up with my posts yet, BUT I'm trusting that something good will happen and I will get a better camera soonest.
anyways...

Event Geekery: SEPHORA Launch (updated)

Hey Lovers, 

Sorry it has been a little while since I blogged.  

Last Friday, Aug 12th, I attended the much anticipated Launch of SEPHORA in Halifax. 

My friend Sheriena and I were up at 7am to get ready and be at the store by a little after 9am.
We were sure we would be among the first people to be there, 

BUT

we were met by about 100 more eager people that had gotten there before us. 

anyways, I bumped into my darling Danna of Youlookfiiine and she mentioned that Halifax bloggers had gotten invited for a chance to preview the store before customers were let in. 

1. I was sad that I didn't get an invite. 

2. The preview for bloggers didn't quite happen, however Shariena and I ended up going in with the other bloggers. 

3.  They did a little dance before the store opened..video is acting up, will upload at a later time.

4.  I wasn't a fan of the SEPHORA attire. I wish it was more fitted as it wasn't flattering at ALL.

5. I'm TOTALLY excited for Makeup Forever...I might actually be able to find a great shade of foundation. Check the pic below of their foundation section

6. SEPHORA is directly opposite the MAC store in the mall... (low blow) PLUS some MAC people are now working at SEPHORA. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... It's just business!
7.  Sad I couldn't take that many pics of people. The store was PACKED.

was glad to bump into Sebastien of Sebastien Couture... UBER stylish!

Thrift.ED Gather.INGS with Omo

Hello my darlings, 

I hope you are all well. I know its been a while, I have been doing life :)

I'll make this short and sweet as I am in the middle of projects now.

The dress is Vero Moda.  I got this from value village here in Toronto for $15

it still had the Bay tag of $85 on it. I love this dress because you can dress it 

up and down. For a dress down look, I'll pair it with sandals, large earrings 

and a light crop shirt over it.  It had a small rip under the zipper but nothing 

my trusty needle and thread couldn't fix. I paired this with purple shoes from zappos,

pearl studs and red lip for a dress up look. I love love these shoes, they are by RSVP and are soo feminine :). 

The lion head clutch is from Etsy and I'm not sure how much I paid for it now, it's been a while. 

Well, enjoy the rest of your summer, I certainly cant wait for fall as its my favourite season;

layers, layers and more layers and loads of cookie of baking (dont ask me why, I just realized I bake

a ton of cookies in the fall, cranberry drops, butter toffie fingers, almond loonies, yeah I love treats)

and I have started shopping for sweaters.

yyyyeeesssssss

bisous my darlings

The Jumpsuit of Many Colors

Hey Lovers,

This has to be, BY FAR, my most favorite jumpsuit find EVER!!!!

I snagged this jumpsuit from a vintage store called Lost & Found.  

Upon seeing it, I knew that I wouldn't fit into it, BUT I couldn't let anyone else have it. 

stingy, I know....but can you blame me!!!!??!!

How freaking FANTASTIC is this jumpsuit!!!!!!

will I ever sell it?? uhhmm I don't know...For now I will leave it in my closet to bring sunshine to the rest of my clothes :)

I asked my friend Mana to rock a photoshoot in it and as usual she brought it. 

There were SO many great shots. Here are the bestest of them all :)
