CHAUD, TRES CHAUD

  Regarding the name of this post, I am not talking about myself please. I am not Megan Fox for Christ's sake and neither am I obsessed with myself.  Finally got to meet up with my long lost friend after several years of separation. It was good catching up over lunch and roaming the streets of London like two misplaced tourists. I'm not going to yap about how awesome the weather has been but allow me to say I have finished about four tubs of Haagen Dazs this past week. That explains how burning hot it has been right? I guess so. Excuse my gluttony, but that is also partially due to my love for ice-cream anyway. I added some random photos I have been taking over summer. Enjoy.

Birthday girl

Midi skirt and crop top(stolen or rather obtained from a generous friend) are from New Look, sandals from Office, denim vest from a charity shop, sunglasses stolen from my mum are vintage, scarf is by H&M and overdue for chucking in a bin, and bag (gifted) is from River Island.

I have a tub of  Ben & Jerrys to attend to. Pray for my sugar levels. Have a lovely week people.

Love,

FREAKS + GEEKS

A couple of photos I took with my friends before we headed out for dinner to celebrate my friend's birthday (biko,* excuse the weird poses lol). Birthday celebrant is the girl  woman in pink. Dont you just love her shoes? 

This was my first time wearing this tank top I got while I was back home in Nigeria. It got some attention which is fair considering it has buttons on it covered in ankara fabric. Sweet! I guess I have to wear it more often then! My shoes are by BCBG, skirt from Candy, the blazer is from Pull & Bear and my earrings and clutch are from H&M. Im out now. Deuces!

*biko= igbo word for "please". Sorry my non-nigerian readers ;)

LOOK AT THESE HOES

Reporting to you live from my warm and cosy bed and I do not even want to crawl out of it,not now,not anytime soon. Feeling ill for the 1000th time thanks to the weather again which is so gloomy and never ceases to dampen my mood. I wore this yesterday and I think I have a deep connection with male clothing seeing as I snatched up this lovely letterman jacket from the guy's section on eBay and the extra warm supersized sweater from the male section at TKMaxx. There is something about dressing adrogynous that has always appealed to me.

The boots are from Evans, the bag is from Mango, the scarf is from H&M and my beanie is by Crooks & Castles via eBay.

By the way, I cant stop listening to this song. I dont know why...

Im too weak to even tell my usual tales today. I better hurry off to bed or something. Hope you are all having an awesome week.

P.S If you dont watch Scandal, you should : ).

A bientot!

ANOTHER NIGHT OUT

Exams ended about a week ago and I am currently working on reviving my normal sleeping pattern and catching up on all the shows I have missed. This explains my prolonged absence during the month of January and I hope you all, my lovely readers, would understand. I spent this whole month dashing in and out of the library, sleeping at 8am and exhausting my funds on takeout (especially pizza). So me and my friends headed out the night exams ended and this was what I wore for the night.It was my first time donning a crop top and I think I quite like it. Its sexy and shows a bit of midriff but yet leaves something to the imagination if you get what I mean.... 

My skirt and top are from Candy, shoes from Primark, the belt is from Forever 21, bracelet was obtained from my mum and my earrings are from H & M. 

P.s leave a comment down below if you want to know where my friends' outfits are from.

I realized I have not blogged this whole month and it is already the 31st. Its amazing how time flies. Also dawned on me that most of my outfit posts have been on nights out. I guess I have to hit the brakes on that and post more often on day outfits. You have to blame it on the shitty weather here because it is either raining or snowing constantly, and that would mean me taking pictures indoors (which I hate so much).I would note that down and work on that as I have more time to myself now that exams are over.

Off to get some rest and listen to Robin Thicke.

Have an amazing weekend ahead!

Bonne nuit!

Hello,hello its me again, Queen of the weirdest poses and facial expressions.Just making a post of what I wore to classes this past friday on a very gloomy day (as you can tell from the photos). This sweatshirt has to be my current favourite clothing item and  I see myself wearing it with just about anything in my closet  wardrobe. I have never really been into sweatshirts but I am starting to like them a lot because I feel they fit my figure and my sometimes tomboyish style .Plus they are very good for layering especially in this bloody cold weather that has been thrown at us.Excuse my language.

My sweatshirt is from Vintage.Its on Oldham Street so if you happen to come around Manchester, I suggest you check out Vintage and the other vintage stores on that street if you are into retro style and vintage because you would not be disappointed. Skinny jeans are from River Island, earrings from H&M and my all time favourite boots from Evans.

Hope you are all enjoying preparing for Christmas and buying loads of presents for your loved ones. I would probably post a gift guide soon enough to help some of you that might be confused about what to buy. Off to listen to Jay-Z and eat loads of cake.

Have a great week ahead!

CATCHING UP

I wouldnt even go in on how overdue this post is but heyyy that is what happens when you study International Business,Finance and Economics. I barely have anytime to get my friend to shoot for posts and I dont even have the time to blog much thanks to uni life and the flu that has refused to leave me alone. I better get a tripod and remote soonish and stop breaking my promises. I know I am meant to do the Lookbook and post a couple recipes but everytime I cook something yummy like shrimp curry or peppersoup, I am always too hungry to even think about taking a photo before devouring it. Soon enough, I would get around that so keep your eyes peeled!

I wore this almost two weeks ago to a party with my friends. I generally hate brightly coloured shoes but I happened to like these court pumps that my mum got for me by Bakers. My top is from Forever 21, earrings from H&M, necklace from Romwe, bracelets from ASOS and I dont remember where I got my clutch from (oops).

 Anyway, got to run off now. I currently have the flu and I feel like I am about to die. The weather down here has not been very good to me to be honest. Going to eat something dangerously spicy to warm up my insides a bit. I guess food always solves all my problems.I think...

VELVET NIGHTS

Wore this over the weekend on a night out with my girls (two of them turned up late so no photos :p )

I absolutely adored this peplum top I got from a random store. I thought the peplum with the velvet details was a great idea for something different from the usual peplum and then paired it with a basic mini skirt.

 The top and the skirt are from Candy, my shoes are from New Look, clutch and earrings are from H&M and I stole the gold cuff from my mum.

I was thinking of doing an A/W Lookbook (more Winterish anyway), Remind me to do that!

STRIPPED DERRIERE

Decided to jump on the bandwagon and get one of these camo jackets that everyone seems to be wearing.Every corner or street I walk into,I seem to find people dressed in camo inspired stuff be it tshirts, jeans or jackets.Another thing that made me attracted to the trend is my love for man repelling items.I guess I couldnt skip this one right.Throw anything baggy my way and as long as it is comfortable,I am good.

Wearing my hi-top chucks, H&M u-neck stripped mini dress,tights and scarf, vintage sweater and vintage camo jacket.My earrings and bag are from Mango and my necklace is from New Look.

I originally wanted the camo from the German or U.S army for some strange reason but I did not find it.Well,I am cool like that.

Should have le fro back in my next outfit post.Pretty excited about that because I am one big ball of awkwardness.

PINK AND SPOTS

Probably some of you are looking at me and wondering "how the hell did she step outside dressed like that with the terrible weather?", well, let me just say once it was three in the afternoon, I was'nt  reminded by anyone to opt for thicker tights and my wool lined hoodie. I wore this yesterday and as soon as the rain came pouring,I changed my flatforms to ballet flats because suede and water are not exactly friends.

My friend and I have matching aran jumpers! (she is such a stalker)

She is wearing sneakers by Converse, skinny jeans from H&M, Michael Kors watch and the  sweater from H&M

I can be so random.What could possibly be so hilarious?

Wearing Jane Norman flatforms, H&M sweater, Forever 21 shirt, blazer I picked up from the local charity store, H&M mini skirt, and necklace from Romwe.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate weave?Oh,well I hate weave and I want my fro back!

Fin.

Love,

Roseanne.

ORANGE + LIME

Here I am again, dressed in my uniform and looking confused as usual. These past few days I have just been throwing on a comfy pair of jeans, a scarf, plushy sweater, minimal jewellery,flats or sneakers and a boyfriend blazer when the cold wind blows. I think I have an obsession for blazers because I probably have them in every colour and pattern. Thats pretty fair considering the fact that they contribute to my wardrobe staples. It was so windy today and shooting was getting so annoying because wind kept blowing my hair in different directions and I started looking like I just rolled out of bed.Pardon me this time, TWA would be back in a bit.

I just love black and white photos.They are so vintagesque and I am a vintage person in general. I am talking clothes, art,photos, hair, music, history e.t.c. i just find it fascinating so I should probably get to taking shots at museums and checking online for stuff.How I would love to access the Vogue archive,but a girl can only dream *sigh*

Wearing acid was jeans from H&M, vintage GAP sweater, scarf from H&M, ballet flats from Nine West and a bangle from Dorothy Perkins.

Whats the weekend saying?

I dont have concrete plans to be honest, I just hope I get to make some new dishes and share the recipes with you guys soon.

So little time,So much to do!

Love,

CATCHING UP

I shall not rant about how terrible I am as a blogger so let me just go on to filling you guys in on what has been happening this past month of my absence. I left Nigeria over a week ago and I started school in Manchester. I have been running up and down the city in my Chuck Taylor's and jumping over pools of water trying to settle in well thanks to the bipolar weather over here.I love Manchester and the city has the vibe I really wanted for University so I am positive that I would enjoy it here. However, I have made sneakers, flats and boots my staple footwear because I do a lot of walking.Tons of exercise for me to loose those extra pounds I gained over a couple rounds of pounded yam and serious napping. Autumn is my favourite season because of how pretty the streets look with fallen leaves upon the green grass. My wardrobe staples include colourful knitwear, wool blazers and scarves from the vintage stores on Oldham Street, a bit of leather, sneakers and soon to be added to my collection, a vintage fur coat I am lusting after. By the way, notice my hair? I am still team natural but I decided to get some sort of afro weave for the sake of protective styling. I kind of miss my hair though but, thoughts?

After classes yesterday I decided to shoot some photos with my friend, Deola. Thankfully the rain had gone down and we were able to get some good shots despite the gloominess. I am wearing my all time favourite vintage wool blazer, faux fur leather shorts and earrings from H&M, black "uncomfortable" flats from Primark, ASOS (gifted) bangles I got as a gift from my friend, vintage sweater and this season's version of my old Mango bag from last Autumn.

I should be posting a couple artsy photos for lovers of photography like me in some days. Just hope the rain eases up a bit so I can get solid shots of the architecture here because it is really historical. Im off now to my Advanced Math class. Hope you are all having a great week.

Love,
