Mr Price opens in Lagos!

Just as expected, Mr Price has just opened their first store in Nigeria today at IKeja City Mall, Lagos. The South African retail shop is a favourite because it offers trendy clothes for young people at affordable prices. It opened its first stop in West Africa four years back in Ghana at Accra Mall.
The fashion however will rhyme with South African season which is AW right now and not SS

Trend to try: Denim-on-Denim



Roberto Cavalli at Miama fashion event

Roberto Cavalli is often spotted in his signature denim button-down shirt which he almost always clashes with jeans so much that fashion industry players have come to associate him with this style. On his recent trip to Lagos, he once again went denim-on-denim. Recently, a whole lot of celebs have been playing with this trend. Contrasting shades of denim seem to work much better. Funny but a lot of blondes seem to love this trend!

Happy 55th Independence day Ghana!

It's a public holiday because it's Ghana's Independence day. I've had my ups and downs living here but it's truly a great nation and I think they are taking their time and there's still a lot to come for them. Today I decided to do something to support the country. I signed a petition to stop the mining of sand from the beach fronts in Cape Coast.

"Where you could walk down a gentle slope to the beach, in places you now have to jump down a 2 metre cliff. The coastline between Brenu and Elmina was one of the most beautiful in Ghana, with miles of wide sandy beaches. As over 1500 cubic metres of sand was being removed every day, the land has eroded, and the beach is almost non-existent. Hotel resorts which provide valuable employment to local people and help to build the tourism trade, benefiting Ghana, the pathways used by local people from villages like Ankwanda to walk with their market produce to Elmina, all are in serious jeopardy."

Elmina, Cape Coast is a tourist spot in Ghana because of it's lovely beach resorts and historical sites like the Elmina Castle which used to be a slave fort. You can sign the same petition here

Guess who?

 

I found this sketch of a Ghanian model (can't remember who did it now). Can you guess who it is? Hint: She won Face of Africa in 2008

We will once again be following the life of Carrie Bradshaw and her friends. The prequel of Sex and the City is on its way and AnnaSophia Robb, 18 from Charlie and the Chocolate factory will be playing a younger version of the Carrie we know. This time the series will be set in 80's Manhattan when Carrie is a high school teenager. At this point she hasn't even started her column or met her friends Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. The series will  be known as The Carrie Diaries.

Valentine's day :)

It's a new month! I'm grateful to God for this day and that you can read this post. Each new day is a blessing. I've been going through a period of joy and love lately and I pray it only gets better. As promised, I'm reporting on how my monthly resolution went. I can happily tell you that I've formed a good habit of drinking more water. I no longer replace water with fizzy drinks. I also buy more fruits, mostly bananas. That was the easy part. Beauty routine? Not working out. Can anyone suggest a good toner? I'm clueless.
This month I resolve to keep a proper organiser. I have so much on my hands, from course work and writing to my charity project. I need to get my act together and manage my time properly.
I will still be posting as usual so keep the comments coming XoXo
