Peplum on a pole

I did mention that the lovely weather meant more outfit posts!

Here, I'm wearing one of the pieces from my Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

By the way, I have not forgotten about the photos and video from the fashion show. I am still waiting on the photographer who covered Afrogene. I have no idea why it is taking so long!

The wise bits: 2.0

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle…..

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

-STEVE JOBS, 2005

Azonto Explosion!

Chez & Tobi

On friday, we had the ACS (African Caribbean Society) elections and a new committee is now in place. It is with mixed feelings that I relinquish my position as secretary. 

And then came the azonto after party! 

What can I tell you... It was an amazing night and two things made it so for me; my way-too-cool ACS family & those wicked Azonto cocktails!

Here are some of the beautiful people that came on the night.

Blue Stripes

It is such a beautiful day in Cardiff! 

First, I'd like to tender an apology for being so scarce these days. It's a mixture of everything. Afrogene is finally a thing of the past and I'm now caught up with all the coursework that took second place while I organised and prepared for the show with my lovely colleagues. 

Besides that, there have been camera issues and photographer issues and weather issues. 

Miss Jack & nonsense weather just don't mix.

Today's outfit is what I wore to church. At the centre of it was this white blazer with blue stripes. 

I think this is the first time I have worn my glasses in an outfit post. Well, yes they are prescribed. I have worn glasses since I was about eight or nine. Back then I thought it was the cooolest thing ever especially when i got my Barbie pair; not so much anymore. *rolls eyes*

Blazer, Top & Jeans: H&M
Purse: Primark
Shoes: Kurt Geiger
Watch: Anne Klein
Glasses: Gucci

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day!
