The quote above is said by Cassandra Lokko. I have always been guilty of this, I used to compare myself to others for everything. Exam scores, looks, ability, etc. It's normal. Sometimes you can't help it, it just happens naturally , especially when you are surrounded by talented people or friends who YOU feel are way smarter than you. The education system and the society we live in today, encourages healthy competition so you work harder, because it's true, jobs are getting harder to obtain these days, therefore people expect you to be the best of the best. So it's natural, you can't help but compare yourself to others sometimes. But that doesn't mean it's always good to do that. I've had many experiences of comparing myself to others and I honestly still fall into that trap. I've realized that sometimes it may encourage you to work even harder but most times,...
Testimonies. To me the word 'Testimony' is the public proof or evidence of God's work in your life, and there has been many this year for me! Since 2016 is basically coming to a close, I feel grateful that I have a platform to not only share my love for fashion, but it's a platform that is evolving into so much more!

What we forget is, he is always listening! He's not going to just leave you hanging. I promise you that. I think it's important to remember that there are testimonies out there. Proof ...
I am a big believer of investing in versatile separates that can be mixed in and out with multiple other pieces in your wardrobe. Your outfit options increase instantly when you go for separate pieces. In my case i chose a deep V striped crop top from River Island, matched it with high waisted skinny jeans from Primark; finishing the outfit off by wearing gold metallic heels to make the outfit more versatile and sophisticated. Sophisticated and affordable. My favourite part of this whole look has to be my makeup, done for me by my best friend Annika. Thanks to her, the bold smokey eyes really adds a statement to this daring yet simple outfit. I was surprisingly pleased as to how my makeup turned out, since an all black smokey eye and heavy contour has always been out of my comfort zone, and i never felt it would truly suit my eye shape. Though sometimes you have to just give it a go. This whole look is perfect for...
