Welcome back to my blog and hope you had a happy Sunday everyone! I pray for a blessed and productive week ahead for you all as the weekend is almost over and we have to get back into the routine of things. Today's blog post focuses on something I tried for the first time but it's definitely not the last; and that is styling with culottes. Culottes are the current "IT" pants for the season that come with a flattering hemline and versatile shape, making it very easy to wear and style with. So whether you are wearing your culottes on a date, out for brunch on the weekend, or to work, you can go from uptown chic to downtown cool in no time. I am seen sporting a neutral colored pair with my white tank top, a white sleeveless blazer, a simple neck piece, and a pair of black and white pointed stilettos. Think of  the pants as an A-line skirt when you are styling them, so tucking in a blouse, for example, or choosing a high-waist pair and adding a crop top is a good way to start off. As most bloggers would agree with me that the best length for a culotte is mid-calf. Also, keep in the mind that the whole point of the culotte is getting to show off your shoes. You really can't go wrong with a pair of pointy toe pumps that can make you look taller as well. These pants don't always have to be worn with a crop top or tank top. In fact, try a buttoned-down office shirt or blouse for a more professional look. I encourage you to try a pair if you do not have one, and start simple by following some of the tips provided in this post. Have a good week ahead and may God bless you richly!

Bon Dimanche readers and welcome back to my world of fashion! Hope that you all had a good day and made the effort to get up to attend service this morning. For those that are only now starting their Sunday because of different times zones, I wish you have a blessed day with your loved ones. Church was powerful today as usual, as our Pastor spoke to us about the benefits of staying connected to your local church. It was a great message for the mass and one which everyone could find something relatable to apply in their lives to. Coming back to the blog, you can see that I have featured yet another bodycon dress (my favorite) with my new Louboutin pumps. You can wear this look to a cocktail party, dinner with your friends, a romantic date, or to a daytime ladies' event. I have chosen to keep it simple by adding black and gold accessories such as a necklace, a pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a Michael Kors wrist watch. Because the bodycon dress is a solid army green color, it's only fitting to pair it with printed pumps, hence the cheetah print Louboutins. If you also wish to own a pair, please feel free to comment below on how to get yours and I will be glad to help out. I hope you have a great week ahead, get those tasks done, and aim for progression always! Take care and see you next week!

Welcome back everyone! Hope you are doing well and have had a restful weekend so far. As we prepare for the upcoming week, I pray for strength to overcome all challenges and tasks and remember to tackle everything with a smile :) Today's post is a little different than the usual because as you have already noticed, I want to share with you my 23rd birthday celebration that I enjoyed so much a few nights ago. It was such a blessing to have spent it with my sister and good friends and I thank God for allowing me to see another year. I want to uplift His name, glorify Him to the best I can, and be an example of Him to those around me more and more for the upcoming year. I'm thankful for life for God's wonder and His hands upon me for all that I do. I'm also thankful for friendships turned into family and my immediate family who love me unconditionally and support me no matter what. Throughout the day, I was showered with love, gifts, prayers, blessings, and good wishes that I consider myself very fortunate and blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. My favorite part of the day was when I opened my parents' gift and found out that it was an iPad, considering I had recently lost my old one not too long ago. I definitely shed a few tears as it was unexpected and I'm thankful for them. I hope you enjoy the pictures as I had a great time and thank you for coming back to support the blog. Take care and have a productive week ahead!

Also, the beautiful lady responsible for my look is my friend and fellow blogger Susan (Nubianna) and the man behind the camera, also another fellow blogger friend is Gigi (TheRealDealGigi). Please do check out their blogs and make sure to support and show some love as well!

I'm back! Thanks for visiting the blog again my lovely readers and welcome to my world if it's your first time here. First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you and hope you had a fantastic start to 2016! I want to thank you for all the support and love you showed me last year, considering that it was the first year I started this blog. As we have entered into a new year, I pray for tons of blessings upon each of you and always believe that great things are coming for you in 2016. With God always by your side, nothing is impossible and I hope you will continue to hold on to Him and draw nearer to Him throughout all your decisions and plans for this year. A lot of us, including myself, are excited to see what He has in store for us. While some may go through difficult changes, some of you may also be entering new phases of life. Regardless of the situation, I wish you all nothing but success and best wishes in walking side by side with the Lord and according to His will.

Coming to the first outfit post of this year, I am starting it off with a casual look achieved by pairing a plain white top with my ripped skinny jeans. To add on to the outfit, I'm seen wearing a pair of white and pink Nike AirMax sneakers, along with a simple watch and buckled belt. This is an everyday, easy-to-wear look either to class, grocery shopping, or for a coffee run. One tip for wearing ripped jeans would be to go easy and natural on the makeup and hair to avoid looking overdone during the day time. The best look with these type of jeans is often balanced, combined with classy and feminine pieces. Open-toe sandals, stilettos, and fedora hats are often used to accessorize with such type of jeans for a more trendy and dressy look. Try making a pair of ripped jeans a staple item in your closet for a stylish yet comfortable look and I promise you, you won't regret it! See you again next week!

Welcome back everyone and hope you all are doing well. Also hoping you had a blessed and merry Christmas with your loved ones! This year I'm more than fortunate to have my parents visit me in Bangkok for the holiday season as I have missed them both so much and I'm super thankful to be spending quality time with them. With that said, forgive me for putting this post up a day late as I have been busy taking them around the city and squeezing in all the time I can get with them on their short trip. Moving on to the blog, today's outfit is for a perfect date, ladies night out, or a fancy dinner with your friends. If you are looking at my outfit and immediately thinking about Beyonce's Grammy 2013 outfit, then yes this is the one :) You may have already realized my love for jumpsuits and the reason why I adore them is very simple: they're comfortable to sport and can easily be transformed from a day to a night outfit. This jumpsuit has been paired with open-toe sandals, a statement necklace, a pair of simple black-gold earrings, and my MK watch. While you may think of jumpsuits as a casual piece, the right one can actually be dressy. One tip would be to ditch your flats for heels as I have done here to elongate your legs and you can also throw in a blazer to have an office-ready look. If you have never tried on a jumpsuit before and would like to do so, I would suggest getting a black one to be on the safe side just to test the waters. Once you feel confident, you can then move on to more daring patterns and different shades. Whatever you do, it's always advised to dress according to your body type and remember to always carry yourself with a big smile of confidence! Till we meet again next week! Have a blessed week and God bless you for the remainder of this year. Hope you have a great new year's celebration and remember that there is always something to be thankful about!

Welcome back to my world and hope you're having a good week so far. Getting straight to things; this week's post features a gift given to me on my engagement party from a friend of mine. This dashiki dress is custom made and features some tribal prints on a baby blue base. For those that do not know, a dashiki is a loose-fitting, pullover shirt or dress usually sewn from colorful African-inspired patterns or fabric. Considering how vibrant and busy the prints and colors of the apparel is, opt for plain pieces while combining it. What's really fun about this apparel is the fact that it can be dressed up or down. Worn by the young and old, the Dashiki dress is sure to make you look stylish and comfy. Its print is in a wide range of designs, from skirts, dresses, matching pieces, loose fits, and loads of other styles. The most important thing is to have fun with wearing a lot of colors in our one fit. You can see that this dress has been paired with my brown pointed stilettos which I rcently got for a great deal and a leaf-shaped gold necklace. Because the outfit already has a lot going on, I chose to not over accessorize and keep it simple. You can try styling these types of fabric and your own personal designs in any way possible. Make sure you're comfortable in it and that you wear the dress instead of letting it wear you. Have a good week ahead and see you soon! God bless you all!
