These pair of tie die wide legged pants are denim, yassss! Denim, that’s what sold it to me, its are different, it’s unique, it’s almost look like “adire”, a tie die material made from cotton fabric, I spotted them at a thrift store and it was a no brainer, they had to come home with me, I didn’t even think twice on this one, lol. I have styled it here dressed up with a beige men’s blazer, I thought I’d play up the nude colour on the trouser, and because its wide legged, I opted for a form fitting top, a pair of black pointy toed heeled booties to elongate the legs and a thigh grazing suit for more streamlining and lengthening. What do you think of the styling?
Hello guys, hope you’re good, I watched a video today that reiterated something I have always known to me and I thought I’d share with you all, if someone does or say a thing that makes you uncomfortable, let them know, dont pretend it’s ok for peace to reign, trust me , the act or acts will only continue and eventually it will ruin whatever it was you were trying to protect by keeping your peace in the first place, let them know how you felt and how that situation made you feel, chances are that if they care, they will stop and if they don’t, you know what to do.
Anyways back to fashion and why you’re here in the first place, these were all what I wore this week, I loved them and I think I’m going to rewear and make a what I wore this week video for my YouTube. Let me know your favourite look or looks. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely week XX.

Hay y’all whats good? So I came across this post on Facebook recently talking about married men who want to date single girls and have the nerve to accuse them of being too materialistic, when they demand for money in exchange for the love and I hollered, I laughed so hard, I laughed in past tense because it brought to mind a certain incident , something from the past, something that happened to y’all girl.
I cant remember the year exactly , maybe 2011/2012, I’m not sure again but I was on Facebook chatting and making friends with the literati community, there was this white guy on there, quite popular with the Lagos/ Nigeria online community, he hit me up in the DM, we got chatting more, he told me he was coming into Lagos from Abuja, spend the night in Lagos and then off to UK the next day, he was staying at a hotel close to my office and would love to meet and chat more in person if I was available.
I was available and so we met after work, we talked about so many things, politics, Nigerian youths, family, dating, he casually mentioned to me that he was married, his family lived in the UK , I internally raised my brows but didn’t say nothing because the conversation was good and casual and nothing untoward or suggestive. After a cool evening hang out, I left and went home. I got a message later that said he had a great time with me, he was so impressed, I was so beautiful , he wanted to kiss me badly. That last line was so unexpected, so out of the blues, I didn’t see it coming , there was nothing about the night that suggested it. I didn’t say nothing, I ignored that last part and replied that I had a great time too and safe journey the next day.
Fast forward to weeks later, this was the blackberry days, I got a ping from Whitey, saying he was back in the country and would be coming into Lagos from Abuja and would love to meet again, this time he would love for me to spend the night so he can give me a good massage, love me from head to toe bla bla bla, he was really detailed about what he would love to do to and with me, I was shocked, hella shocked, I took a moment to read and reread the message again, paused, showed the message to my friend and then replied;
I said ” how much? “
***Crickets***
Hahahaha, I dont think he ever expected that level of forthrightness from calm, decent, soft spoken me, hehehe. After a while, he replied to say he wasn’t into transactional relationship, he didn’t think I was that kind of girl , he doesn’t indulge in such , bla bla bla, I didn’t even bother to reply him.
Honestly ehn, the audacity of men, they have no qualms letting you know what they want but they expect you to be hypocritical in your own demands, this is a married man who wants to do things to me in exchange for what? What sort of girl sleeps with a married guy they met once on the second encounter? A decent one? The hypocrisy is on another level , I cant even count the number of married men who wanted a “relationship” with me, lmao, that lagos is a crazy place and the men there have no chill, they play on the psyche of the woman, the fact that society raises the woman to be modest, to be shy, to swallow her tongue, not be materialistic , to be a “good” woman.
Dear single woman/ girl, I am not here to judge your choices, I will ask you to be intentional about your relationships, men are very direct and intentional about their wants and how they go about achieving it, don’t be stupid, don’t go having a love relationship with a married man, if you must, I do not advise it but if you must, shine your eyes, open your mouth and ask, demand and collect all the material / money things okayyy, live that baby girl life to the max, extra marital affairs don’t and shouldn’t come cheap, don’t fall for any sob story, if he loves you let him prove it, let him leave madam and children, lmao.
Hello everyone, welcome to my blog, My name is Nelo, this is not my first time blogging, I used to own a blog called fashionationline.com, then I stopped and now I’m back again but this time I thought Id start afresh, I wrote my DVLA car theory test to day and I passed, I had promised myself to start my blog today if I passed and so here we are, its currently on wordpress.com but I promise I am going to upgrade soon. The blog is still going to be all about me sharing my personal style, what’s hot in the shops right now, current fashion trends and tips, some mom life content as well as thoughts on trending topics. I hope you are all excited to join me on this journey once again, I am honestly so so happy to be back on blogosphere , I have kind of missed it, hehe.

This is my second attempt at the test and I am so so glad I passed this time, I should have passed the first time but I had no idea the test was in two parts, so I only studied for the theory and was shocked to discover the Hazard perception part at the venue, it was a bit confusing , I had a go at it and of course failed it, I went back home, practiced and smashed it the second time around. Writing and passing this test was such a major goal for me this 2019, I’m so glad its in the bag, next I shall enroll for practical lessons yay!

One easy and quick way to really spice up your look and look expensive on a budget is to stick to neutral shades such as black , white, nudes, wearing one colour head to toe also almost always never fails, there is a method to it though, whenever you wear one colour head to toe, make sure to play around with your textures, as you can see here, I have juxtaposed, faux leather with faux fur, croc effect bag and suede leather boots.
I’m wearing @primark skirt and bodysuit (new season aw 19), @justfab boots, Bag – Vintage, Faux fur jacket – @forever 21 via Charity shop.
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
