TRADITIONAL WEDDING - WHAT I WORE

Hello beautiful readers ,

Hope you all had a beautyiful weekend 'cus i sure did!!!I attended a friends wedding and let me tell you a secret I have never been to a wedding before but I have been to two funeral...weird innit; but have always seen beautiful wedding pictures and drool and moaned about not attending one so when I got an Invite my excitement went through the roof!!!

As you all know I am a Nigerian but from the Yoruba tribe and If a wedding a.k.a Owanbe is taking place the full traditional outfit comes out which is the Iro,Buba and Gele or Aso ebi or ankara or Velvet...the list is endless but these are the common ones so I opted to wear the Iro ,Buba and Gele in a Lace texture which is basically a Blouse,wrapper and a headtie. The Headtie or the Gele is a hard fabric that comes in many types of fabrics such as damasks,aso oke,net gele and so on... but i wore a gele and trust me guys not everyone can tie these,but I tied mine and I think i did a great job at tying mine as there are so many styles such as layered gele,fan gele,satelish dish and so on...sounds funny right?? But I love my culture and the outifits.


The Gele also known as Head gear or Head tie styled in a satelite dish
Make up and Gele tied by me
The bride and Groom look stunning in their outfuts at the wedding too and it was such a wonderful wedding,I had fun and it was great seeing so many faces I haven't seen in years!!!

One of the Many Faces I havent seen in Years

I had a really great night at the wedding,wish i could rewind it all back!!!!I cant wait to attend more Weddings(Owanbe) .

 Wishing the couple a Happy married Life and may the Good Lord bless their Union.

Have a blissful week ,

21...LAST FEW DAYS

So Monday is here again and am calmly sitting here at the office blogging away as I am quite tired and Lazy today.It has been one hell of a weekend very stressful but I kinda enjoyed it yanoe, Hope you all had a good weekend?

Its the last day of September and I am tring to figure out where this month flew too but no recollection LOL but anyways I thank God for waking me up today and being alive is one thing am constantly grateful For.

So down to business October is here within the next 24 hours and I really like this month Not just because its My birth Month but Nigeria Independence day is on the 1st of October as well as I share this month with so many bloggers and Celebrities ; my Graduation Ceremony is later on this month * EXCITED*.





I have lived for two decades and that is worth being thankful for because I know a lot of people didn't live as long as I have lived Not that am too righteous but I feel worthy of his unending love in my Life,Thank you JESUS.I have achieved a lot this past year such as graduating from Uni with a Bsc honors degree and acquiring a Job as a sales and Marketing Officer and life has been really good to me in general and God has really backed me up.







Now am turning 22 I want to accomplish so much and continue to Grow both in wisdom,knowledge and Understanding and God should Bring the man of my dreams to me quick quick ooo abi who doesn't want to be on bella naija LOL....I know wedding is a day affair marriage is life time commitment but the faster the guy comes along nau yanoe....LOL but yanoe I kinda feel that's whats missing to Complete everything in My life right now. Having a Nigerian parent aint making it any easier ; as in the whole family is on my Neck to bring a Guy/Man home so they can see and Access( to see if he is suitable and worthy of their daughter LOL).In a way am not bothered about it but i feel the pressure coming on strongly nau especially when they say " what you are selling will soon finish then you wont have someone to call you again" *SIGHS* or when they say "your friends at this age are getting married or have a steady boyfriend and you are here saying am taking my time". They Dont understand the philosophy and fail to realize time has changed but here,God with bring my own Boaz in which I will proudly Boast off when the time is right.

I turn 22 this Sunday and I have no clue whatsoever on how I intend to Celebrate as I am not in the Celebrating spirit at all, I dunno why but i think i will just treat my self to something nice and wait till my graduation get together before I celebrate hopefully am in a better mood by then.

I wont bore you any longer with my monday Blues and Urghh and Ahhhh Moments but what is a blog post without  Pictures??? I share with you Below some outfits I rocked for the past and last few days of been 21 years old...I wont be 21 ever again ?*sobs* but time to Move on and see what Life has to throw at me #22

P.S : Dont forget to Nominate me for the NBA awards Click HERE for more info
