The Journey From Lagos to Ibadan By Train. On a Saturday morning, while the rest of my household still slept, I quietly slid into a cab with my travel backpack and mumbled some greeting to the driver. He responded cheerfully, before adding “It says you’re going to The Mobolaji Johnson train station”?. That’s correct, I replied. The Lagos to Ibadan train station, just at the Alagomeji bus stop in yaba”. I had carefully packed my clothes just hours earlier, ticking off things on a list I titled “Ibadan weekend trip”.

Styling Co-ords. By principle, I rarely ever say no to a co-ord two piece set that suits my style and budget. It’s one of the style rules I hold close to heart. I’m all for clothing items that can be restyled in multiple ways,  and the versatility of styling co-ord two piece sets makes them a wardrobe treasure. I got a co-ord set from Nigerian brand Rekana, and was immediately drawn to the top. Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

My Week In Work Style. Last week, I finally got to be back at my desk, and things are definitely different. Not like I didn’t know it was going to be, but I guess seeing and experiencing it up close drives it home. ⁣I jokingly mentioned on my instagram that I’ll be wearing monochrome /all black for my work style the whole week to mourn life as I used to know it, and somehow I managed to actually see it through.

Sweater Fashion. I never really thought of sweaters as a fashion piece or wardrobe essential till I started my recent 9 – 5. When I think of sweaters, I think of something I can wear to either keep the cold at bay or relax at home, and not to pull off a stylish look. This meant that I never used to go shopping for sweaters with “style” in mind. Thankfully I’ve seen the light and now realize that sweater fashion is indeed a thing and sweaters can be paired in stylish ways to complete a look. Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

Casual Fashion. I like to describe my personal style as casual and quirky but over the years my style has been watered down. Albeit, not intentionally.
