Ode to My Fashion

Hello Everyone How is Summer treating you? Did you make plans to travel? As for me, I am super busy at work to even think about vacations or travelling; Still I find little ways to get out and enjoy myself during this season. One of my favorite activity to do is Brunch. Dakar is a city that offers so many good places to eat in general. For brunching, I have to say that we are spoiled. Recently I went back to Kotao Coffee, a nice little restaurant in Almadies area with my brother and his family.  White ruffle shirt - street vendor at Sandaga market Jeans - Marwa Fashion Boutique Bucket bag- thrifted Mules - Class  Jewelry - HLM market  I have been there before, last year. One morning tired of working at home, I decided to check it out. Then I had the salmon avocado sandwich with some hot cocoa. I had a nice time but I found the place to be tiny. This time, it seems like they renovated and added more space. There are more seats and nice little areas where one could take pic...

 Hello Hello! A while back, I took some time off just to relax far away from everything. I wanted to isolate myself somewhere in the country since I am not so keen on international travel at the moment. My sight was set on Goree Island that I love so much. So I booked a room through Airbnb for two nights in the middle of the week.  I stayed for three days doing absolutely nothing except, relaxing, reading books, watching movies and walking around the island. I also did a bit of work on my side hustle. You know, I had to seize the opportunity and all. But I had so much fun, it did not feel like work at all.  Scarf - (old) from India Top - Kiabi Skirt  and bag- Numero Uno Sandals - Thrifted This time, the island felt very different. It is usually packed with tourits even during what we consider the low season. But because of Covid, the tourists have decreased. Restaurants are operating but you only see a couple of customers here and there. The same can be said about mu...

Hey y’all! A few months ago I was having an exchange with a friend on Instagram. She was rocking a slip skirt and I asked her where she got it from. She told me that if I was to buy the skirt and not wear it , there was no point in her telling me. The thing is she knows me too well. She knows I do not wear anything too revealing or too sexy. And let us be real, those skirts can be sexy. What she told me felt like a challenge. I had to go and get myself one of those skirts. And I got so lucky I scored two of them on sale.  I got to wear one of them for an afternoon out with some girlfriends.  Blazer - thrifted but from Kiabi  Top - thrifted Skirt - Numero Uno Sandals - Sandaga market  Earrings, necklace and sunglasses - Numero Uno My first option for styling this skirt was to pair it with this oversized blazer. After all I am still not confident enough. The blazer will hide all the areas I have a problem showing. It would have probably been better with a belt but I wa...
