Currently I am

Hey guys! Happy new month!
You lived to see the beginning of this month and that's great news.I'm also really excited because apart from Valentine's Day I'll be participating in my first ever fashion show as a DESIGNER!!( I put them in bold letters just to show you guys how excited I am) 
 

I really can't wait  and be sure to watch this space for the collection when it comes out.
 

I  promised  I'll be doing a Currently I am tag because I love you guys and I appreciate the fact that you want to keep up with me.
So.. Here it goes!

Currently i am:
Wearing:
 
 This off shoulder shirt I made a while ago with white skinny jeans and heels

Listening to:
Mad over you and party on repeat

Anticipating: 
Redefinition fashion week

Excited about
 

All the new opportunities I've been getting this year

Loving :
  

The new collection from ashi studios ( this couture house gets to me)

Thankful for: my friends and family that support me every day, they're the reason I haven't given up yet.

Loathing: the amount of heat in my school, it drives me crazy

lusting after: 
 
These knuckle rings by indigo lune , I really need to get me one of these or you could send it to me for Valentine's Day yeah?

Wishing that: I had more time to do my creative work, I really need a lot more time to put all these ideas coming to my head in black and white 

Irritated by : 
The fact that Nigerians don't see fashion design as a profession, also the fact that Nigerians think that a fashion designer is the same person as a tailor

So that's just about it! I hope you liked it. Also? What have you been doing lately ? I'll love to know below
   Have an amazing week!
   With fleek, VOURDI x

Back to blogging!

Hey guys! I promised I'll be back to blogging second week so here I am ( sorry I'm a bit late)
A lot of stuff has just been going on in my life and I had a few things to sort out too.

Now to today's post..

 
 You see that wide grin on my face? That was for  two reasons 
1. The year is coming to an end and though I've had a lot of disappointments and even more items to tick off my to do list, GOD  has been indeed faithful, in my life greatly. 

2. That was the last week of exams, truth be told I actually like school but four months without seeing my family and exams stress was beginning to take a toll on me and I needed a break so I was more than excited.
 
 
  

 
 
This was my fit to the thanksgiving Sunday:
I always put my comfort first  plus I go to a school where conservative dressings are highly prioritized so I thought .. What other way to add comfort and style and still look decently dressed?
 
 Voila! This gown came to be.. Thought it was a last minute descition, I still pulled it off pretty good.
 
I put on my black heels , minimal accessories as usual and I was good to go.
 
Outfit details: 
Gown:mum's tailor 
Shoes:aldo

How have you guys been lately? Have you been able to let off the steam from work or school? I'll love to know how that worked for you ..
                    Till next week!
                    Love, VOURDI.

Blogging break!



 Hey guys! How have y'all been? I've been so busy with school test and all (tryna get 'em grades  yeah!) but I still have to write because I love and appreciate you guys (my readers).
 
Reason for the break? EXAMS!!  
I've got exams in two weeks and since I'm a student before a blogger, I have to set my priorities straight. 
Can't wait to  resume blogging second week of December yo! 

Now to the outfit:
 
Let's begin by saying : this top was Hand 
made by me!! (Lol yes I'm talented like that!)
I promise you this wasn't what I had in mind when I cut up my dad's shirt but I still like the way it turned out.
 
 
Since I was going for a very casual look , I paired this with casual skinny jeans and flat shoes. With my shot of confidence added, I was good to go! 
 Out fit details:
Shirt:hand made
Jeans:forever 21
Shoes: forever 21
 
What's your take on my outfit guys? Yay or nah?

Can't wait to see you guys in December! 
Have a lovely week ahead !

 

Stylish in black

Hey guys  how have you guys been? It's September yay!!! Nine down   Three more to go. I just really want to thank GOD for bringing me this far.
 
  Now to my outfit , ever heard the saying  when in doubt wear black?  Well I have and this saying works just fine for me. I'm particularly down with  this gown because though it's an LBD (little black dress) , the sheer part of this gown makes it particularly unique.
 
 I also like the way the gown was made to give the illusion of a fuller shape 
 
 

 For the shoes  : I'm an ardent monochrome lover so the first thing that popped into my mind were these white pumps to give a perfect contrast to the black gown. 
 
For my bag: I opted to go with my brown cross body bag, I didn't want anything too bulky so as to keep the focus on my gown.
    
 
For my accessories: I like to be minimal with them so my black staple chocker  and gold and black star earings did the trick.  
 
 Outfit details: 
Gown: mums wardrobe 
Shoes:aldo
Cross body bag:Louis Vuitton 
Chocker and earrings:mum
 
 Finally I completed this look with  laughter because I have a lot of things to be thankful for most especially the fact that I'm alive to see the month of September. 
  
So tell me guys what do you think about this look? How will you pull it off? 
I'll really love to hear from you guys 

Till next post guys!
