Looks I Loved this Week

Louise Roe, wears a playful print from the Roksanda Ilincic Fall 2013 collection. The print actually reminds me of the Popeye curtain and pajamas I had as a kid. Source

I love the mix of pastel and neon source

Maroon Sack

I apologize for the bad quality pictures! It is really hard to take good pictures with a broken tripod, while at the same time; your ride is honking and yelling through the phone for you to hurry up!

Anyway, I saw this dress online and fell in love with the draped details and the rope-style belt. It was on sale for $20.70 and I did not think twice before ordering it. When the dress came in, I showed it to my friend via Skype and he was convinced it was a sleep wear. He kept saying "are you really going to wear this sack like outfit out of your house". Anyhoo...yes, I wore the sack outfit to a 30th birthday party-lol. The dress has a weird Grecian silhouette that I kind of like. I was unsure of the style of shoes to wear, but at the end of the day, I opted for a black closed toe versus the gold open toes heels I was considering.

Once again, I apologize for the horrid quality of the pictures!

Have a great week.

Peace, Smiles & Bows!

I attended a baby shower sometime in April and kept my outfit pretty simple.Since I was wearing dark colors,I decided to don my very adorable (If I may say so myself) pink/purple polka dot bow heels!

Anyway these are the pictures I took before I bolted out of the house.

Happy Bunny!

Color Therapy:Yellow Crush

It seems like every summer, I find myself crushing over a specific color. Last year it was cobalt blue and this summer, (if you can call the weather we have been getting summer) I am totally loving yellow. Anytime I am in a store, I find myself gravitating towards this color. I already have so many yellow pieces and I have to consciously stop myself from buying more. I also changed my bedroom color scheme, and my new duvet set and area rug have yellow accents. For now, it’s the color yellow,but who knows what color I will be digging next year!:-)

Small Business Highlight:Chic Therapy Accessories

Hey guys, happy Tuesday. The last small business highlight in the giveaway series is, drum roll please....Chic Therapy!

What is your mission?

Chic Therapy is an online store that offers eclectic and fun African textile accessories. We incorporate traditional African fabric with others and create pieces that fit the contemporary lifestyle. It is a celebration of beauty and our vision is to fuse the vivaciousness and eccentricity of African prints into basic, ready to wear pieces.

Where do you see your businesses in 1 year? 2 years?

Right now, I am making plans to diversify and metamorphose into something bigger. In two years, I want to have broadened my demographics and brand and I want to be an established fashion house.

Who is your target audience?

Chic Therapy primarily targets women age 18-35. However, our audience includes anyone that loves unique and quirky fashion.

What products do you offer?

My handmade products include necklaces, earrings, brooches, bangles, hair accessories, prêt-à-porter ankara skirts. We also carry vintage apparel.

What first sparked your interest in the fashion and design industry?

I naturally developed an interest in fashion because I was constantly surrounded by flamboyant and beautifully dressed people while growing up in Nigeria. When, I was younger my mom also had a fashion/tailoring shop and this also heightened my interest.
