DIY Diary: When i'm bored...

I try out new stuff!

Call me itchy hands, whatever!  They make great stuff :D
Lesson 1: Dont dash your tailor or seamstress your leftover ankara or fabric, they are ALWAYS useful. You could tell your seamstress to combine all your leftover fabric and make a nice top or a hair piece or a clutch  but you will definitely need some professional help with that (you can see me in camera for a design, i will be glad to help :D ) Cool stuff right? used mine for something different though...

 I got different fabrics and stitched them together, you can make out a pattern with your stitches if you like, mine is simply in boxes.


Place a frame on the stitched surface and mark out the openings and make cuts to fit them and #Glue #Glue #Glue. You can ask an art store near you for a suitable glue.





Finish up with a plain matching piece of fabric on the inside

Done!
#On to the next one... See ya *kisses*

DIY Diary: its an emergency!!!

That moment after i postponed getting a new eye liner and kept on sharpening till the wax was out

 ( ._.) (._. ) (._.) uh oh! 

That's when my super powers came on and i realized a magical wand, Broomsticks!!!! (i know it correlates with super powers but forget i ever said that) moving on...

It might be razz but there are ways to make it tush by rinsing it in water and pouring some hand sanitizer on it and rinsing it again.

Scooping the remains of the teeny weeny pencil


And the rest is history

with your eyes wide closed :D
Tada!!!

Throwback Friday :D

Hey guys,
I was watching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (my Sunday addiction :D) and i couldn't help notice Aunt Viv's (Janet Hubert) style. What beats me is that this show was aired like in 1990/1993 like some twenty years back. This is not my favorite piece she wore on set, its one aqua marine and blue dress *drooling* i searched for the picture but couldn't find it but.... I mean look at that jacket!!!!
Janet Hubert
This got me thinking like fashion never really dies, it just comes back again - Abiku or Ogbanje?  -__- LOL! Anyway you get  the story line. I'll be sharing with you some few trends that came back :)

The denim jacket crave from the 80's

Robin Scherbatsky or Robin Sparkles in those days LOL ... for the #HIMYM lovers


Yep turbans are back and one of my favorite ensemble is Karolina Kurkova's outfit at the Met Gala 2012 #AbsoluteGlam

Designed by Rachel Zoe

Every girl loves a jump suit cos its one piece so you just need to look for accessories #phew

a 70's - 80's trend which came back in 2011 and is still here

This article wont be complete without some stunners :D


In other news cheers to the freaking weekend #TGIF :*

Cat fight!!!

*yawn* Everyone behaves so civil these days or maybe I'm MIA. I remember in school when....

Suddenly there was a loud bang on the door, the last thing I wanted to hear on a saturday morning when I planned to wake up very late! Adjusting myself for round 2 these crazy girls wouldn't just let me be. Mission defeated, I decided to soak the gist na

These girls opposite my room were warriors menh, whaaaaaaat! It was just like WWW and I heard all sorts of insults that day including *%&^$ (go figure :P) ... So sad it was because of a guy. *sigh*



The moral of this story is cats, leopards and cheetas come from the same family group. Please find below easier less stressful ways to reconnect to these species 


bare neck
under a collar




and more....



All available at Chocolate legend, see you on the cat side of life #Meow! :D
