"The Proposal"

I came accross a video on YouTube and I thought it was beautiful and creative how Justin proposed to his girlfriend Emily. It'll have you in tears.

It won't play on any site, so you have to watch it on his YouTube page...

Strips & Polka Dots



Sweater- Macy's (alternative here), Skirt- F21 (Old, alternative here), Accessories- F21, Shoes- BCBG (old, similar here





Hey guys! I just wanted to show you how I styled the sweater and skirt trend.
I had no trouble picking out the sweater, but when it came down to pick a bottom, I had to choose between the bell skirt, a skater skirt, or a pencil skirt.
I chose to pair the skirt with the sweater, disregarding the different textile patterns.



Thanks for stopping by.

Trend Alert: Full Skirts

Hi guys!
For the past few days, I've come across this particular trend. From bloggers to runways to celebrities, I spotted the full skirt.

I'm a fan of mini skirts only because my small tush allows it. However, I'm I'm in love with the way this skirt looks and the many ways it can be paired. It's the fall season, so it makes perfect sense to wear a lengthy skirt.

Below are some of my favorite pairings:

The sweater and skirt trend is definitely something to look out for this fall.


Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Good Riddance to Good Omens

If someone had warned me about getting into nursing school...well I still would have applied.

For those of you that have friends as nursing students, or are familiar with the variations of the almost impossible, but doable grading scale, you'd know that getting 84% on a test is not much to brag about...well for me at least. Below is what my school's grading scale looks like:

93-100% A
86-92% B
76-85% C
<75% Fail (You have to retake the course).

The essence of this post you may ask?

Well, I received my final grade today for psych/mental health and boyyyy am I disappointed, again!
Again in the sense that this will the the THIRD time in my NS(nursing school) life that I'd be so close to an A. Other times have been med-surg-92.15% and Obstetrics(OB)-92.43%

Now, getting a 92% has nothing to do with me slacking, and as a matter of fact, I improved after the first test. Even after celebrating Nigerian independence the week of my third exam, to my utmost surprise, I excelled beyond my expectations!



I told my mom and friends that there's some kind of spell that needs to be broken. Seriously, jokes aside. I mean, I'd rather have 86-90% and be satisfied with the B, than be so close to an A!
I'm starting community/public health this week and I asked myself some questions...
1. Should I continue to strive in the hopes of getting an A? or,
2. Relax and end up having a satisfied B, or an A?
Only time will tell.

Don't get me wrong, I've had my share of A's, and they weren't achieved by chance.
I don't want to have yet another sets of sleepless nights, catching up last minute for projects/tests and at the end be rewarded with a 92.44% And yes, I'm a big procrastinator despite my calendar of agendas. smh*

I know they all say GPA and grades does not determine your level of *smartness* and so, jobs/hospitals do not hire you based on that. But it'll be nice to have an awesome looking transcript, don't ya think? These BEES(B's)have got to go. I've been stung enough.

Soon I'll look back on this post and smile.


Thanks for reading :)

Sorry, Not Sorry

OK, the only reason why I would not be sorry for this post is due to the picture quality :s
I took all of my my photos indoors and tried to retake them during the day...but time would not permit.

Hi guys!
So these past two weekends were filled with merriment amidst school work. I got to celebrate Nigerian Independence with friends in two home cities: St Louis and Chicago.
I went to three parties in Chicago, and man was it *expensive*, but worth it! *I go party crazy with  my people when I haven't been in the scene for a while*
Anyway, there was a Timaya concert as well and it was nice, I must say.

Without further rambling, here are my not-so spiced up photos!



Crop tank- ASOS (Here), Skirt- Akira (Sold out), Shoes- ALDO (old, similar Here)
The Office, STL



Crop Top- ASOS (Here), Pants- Trifted, old, Shoes- JustFab (old, similar Here)
Quick selfie before heading to RSVP Lounge, Chicago




Tired. Worn out. Shopping. Hot sun. Downtown. Chicago


A lady's gotta have her selfie ;)


Dress- French Connection (Old, try HereHere, alternative Here), Shoes- Bakers (Old, alternative Here). Clutch- J.C. Penny (Old, alternative Here)

I couldn't get a clear photo, so I gave up! lol

"Smizing" :-)

I would have loved to show more photos from the events, but I tend to forget all about my phone the moment I leave my house!

Back to school work. Eight more weeks and it's Christmas break!!!


Thanks for stopping by.
