Rep your country!

The 'Rep your country' Christmas dinner was another fun night out for the ACS. A lovely meal at a lovely restaurant with lovely people, and the after-party was fiyah! I just realised I didn't take any proper photos of my dress that I stayed up all night sewing altering. I bought the dress from a store but re-did the top part in order to rep ankara my country. Interestingly enough, I wasn't the only one who felt the need to make or alter something for the night.

Everyone looked beautiful that night and even though I might not comment on the photos, they are up because I think so. :)

Talk about talent: Kumbi's dress is of the same breed as mine. ;)

Another self-made dress by Chez. Love it!


I am in love with the fabric, colour and length of Daima's dress! (middle).

Silvia's head wrap was on point!

Eat & Greet

I did mention a while ago that I am the current secretary of the Cardiff University African Caribbean Society (ACS). Well, the ACS managed to keep me quite busy especially in the few days before our most recent event which was 'a taste of africa and the caribbean' (last week Thursday), basically plenty food for little money. After all the running around and restaurant-type cooking my kitchen had to bear, we (the committee) were beyond pleased that the event turned out to be a success!

The crowd was fantastic! I saw faces from around the world and the feedback was amazing! In all, it was a very fruitful endeavour.

Below are a few photos of looks I liked on the night (full album is on the ACS facebook page). I spent more time in the kitchen than at the event so I wasn't able to take half as many photos as I would have liked to.



Silvia - one of our wonderful performers on the night.
I love the top and the leather jacket.



Tuoyo - Love the colour combo and that fab sweater-blazer!



I love Daima's crop top! The demin finished it off nicely.




Ugochi was my personal favourite! Loved it all, top to toe!


It's all in the details...!

I think I will take a cue from Ugochi as regards my outfit for tomorrow. Sure will save me a lot of potential wasted time tearing apart my wardrobe in the morning. Watch out for those photos!
