Right now, I'm drooling to hold this Elizabeth Laine Marietta Leather Satchel. The hues of blue is surprisingly a mood lifter and it's just a fabulous find. I discovered it online at The Fashion Connector.

Peace, Joy and Fulfilment...
Peace isn't found in just doing nothing, it's found in the joy and fulfilment of what you're doing.

“Fate is for those too weak to determine their own destiny” - Kamran Hamid
So how awesome was the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony last night? With uncountable sparkles, wondrous lights, and blinding colours, I'm pretty sure the other 203 nations saw the array of culture, history and beauty, London and the United Kingdom has to offer. As I'm of dual-nationality, I was doubly proud to see the Nigerian and the UK teams introduced.

Wanna Be On Top...
I've absolutely loved this song from first hearing it on America's Next Top Model's cycle 13. Even though it's 3 years old, it still has the same effect. I find it quite inspiring and find myself prancing around every time. Thought it'd be a great morning tune to share, so enjoy!

Sporty Spice...
I'm still trying to get into the sporty mood for the London Olympics, which is not far away now. Even though I won't be in lycra or spandex (thank goodness), I'll still be cheering team Great Britain.

Print On Purple
It's always a great idea to work a simple bold colour on a bold print just like Michelle Williams In Giulietta.
A great match.
UnVeil Your Beauty...
Veils are such a beautifying accessory, no longer just a wedding piece, a black veil can make an everyday outfit just as gorgeous. People like Anna Dello Russo are huge fans of the daily veil and so am I with stores like H&M stocking them.

Split Decision...
The Leg-Revealing Slit Skirt, so feminine, daring and versatile.

Under The Sun...
This photo of Cheryl Cole on the set of her new video 'Under The Sun' which premiers soon on the 26th July 2012, is so dreamy, perfect for the beautiful bright weather we've been having.
Pink Lips...
I adore this image of Gaye Mcdonald for POP AFRICANA.
I've always been a fan of pink lipstick shades, although I probably wouldn't go this bright. I'm a big fan of Rimmel's shades and textures and usually opt for a pink/purple shade which suits my skin tone better.
Confessions of a Fashion Blogger:
1. If I feel like shit, I make sure I look great!
2. I've spent grocery money on.....SHOES!
3. I shop for the kids mainly at Target, so I have more funds for my closet. {What??!! Target has cute stuff and they grow like weeds!!!}
4. Sometimes, the only thing that gets me out of bed is the fact that I have to put an outfit together.

My Outfit Edits: Embellished & Monochrome
Today, I've got two outfit edits for you, hell why not, it's Friday!
The 1st is more for a warmer day and drawn to the bold stylista in you. If you've got a fashion event or party to attend, this embellished ensemble is the highlighted look to hit. The 2nd look is more of a casual laid back outfit. It's very simple whilst in other way's not. The contrast in the houndstooth and zebra print add a little piz-zaz to the structured look.
My Outfit Edit: Embellished
It's Sweet Again For The Sugababes!
Take a look at these photo-booth style pics posted today by
Siobhan Donaghy and
Keisha Buchanan of the original girl group Sugababes on their facebook walls, with the caption:
'
We're back!!!!!! MUTYA KEISHA SIOBHAN'.
It's great to see all the original members together after a whirlwind of group dramas and a rotating door of member changing. When they formed in 1998, they were my favourite girl group, so I'm exstatic to see the ladies all grown, beautiful, mature and together! whoop whoop!

Pick Of The Day: Zelia Horsley Gold Collared Necklace

| Zelia Horsley gold collared necklace - £165 |
This gold collared necklace by Zelia Horsley is calling my name and neck.
A gorgeous match for a crisp white shirt and jeans or smart black pants with heels.
Look Of The Day: Diane Kruger In Azzedine Alaia
How gorgeous does Diane Kruger look?
The fashionista attended a viewing of her new film, Farewell My Queen, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York last week. She wore a gorgeous silver textured column dress by Azzedine Alaia and white clutch.

Today I'm Wearing: Blue Sequins
I love a sequin or two and I just adore this vintage sequin top in today's post. I teamed it with simple black chinos from H&M and my Faith blue suede beauties that I got years ago. My gorgeous 3 stoned necklace is also vintage which I got a an amazing price at a store in North London! It's quite a simple look but the sequins and the flash of blue make little statements.
Happy Birthday Mr Mandela!
Happy Birthday Mr Nelson Mandela who is 94 years old today!

How To Style My Jones and Jones Rose Print suit!
So I got a knock at the door on Saturday and I was wondering, 'who could that be, I haven't ordered anything... in the last week!' lol, but to my joy it was a parcel from the ever fabulous and supportive 'Jones and Jones' fashion label, who had sent me an awesome rose printed shorts suit.
Style Faux Pas: Amber, Ann, Malaysia et al
Another week of Style Faux Pas and yet again we ask ourselves, what were they thinking?
Smirnoff spokesmodel Amber Rose attended a bottle signing for the brand’s “Fluffed Marshmallow” and “Whipped Cream” flavored vodkas and decided to dress like a street walker.
The lady who's always quite quirky and stylish decided on a drab white dress and even drabber head wrap.
My Top 10 Looks Of The Week
My weekly style salutes and fashion celebrations.
Chanel Iman at The 2012 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles
Only Chanel could work such a lean look in what could be a casual dress. Such a classic look.
Ashley Greene In Oscar de la Renta, OMG, I'm dying for those shoes *drools*
Fashion News: Rihanna To Design A Fashion Collection For River Island
No surprise that we can add ANOTHER celebrity to the designer collaboration bandwagon. This time it's Rihanna, who's fashion wardrobe at times is enviable whilst at times having a questionable style sense.
WishList: All The Kings Horses...
Today's post is a #Wishlist overload. But hey, one can never lust for too much fashion and style.
So I share with you and hint to others my fashion favourites for my wardrobe to be fulfilled. TL. Xx

Fashion News: Richard Nicoll's For Topshop: 1st Bridal Collection!
Topshop have officially tied the knot with Richard Nicoll on their very first bridal collection! With 7 white and delicate pink lace pieces, the collection works with gentle peplums and sumptuous silk bodices.
I'm sure that by bridal wear, they mean pieces to be worn as underwear down the aisle, on honeymoon or on your sun soaked wanders round the fabulous city you've chosen to vacate to, as I can't really see any of these being worn on the big day except the under garment pieces of course!
Either way, I don't need a wedding as an excuse to invest in any of these, as these pieces make for fabulous outerwear too, single or married!
