With Obi’s parents at Chidimma’s wedding
Hey everyone!! As some of you may now, I took a trip to Nigeria recently for my boyfriend’s sister’s wedding (aka my sister in law, wink wink). I had the most amazing time there. We stayed in Abuja and it was non stop, jam packed with family, food and fun fun fun! Here are some pics from the vacay.

I’m a true believer in living your glammest life and the fab folks at Hpnotiq feel the same way! So, of course I teamed up with them for their latest contest and sweepstakes. From now until July 28, 2013, Hpnotiq wants you to show them how you GLAM LOUDER by submitting photos of the glammest head to toe look you can find. Entries can be pictures you snap yourself or those you find online. The fab prize: the ultimate accessory- a handbag of your choice valued up to $1,000!
Here is my glammest look to date: my 30th bday outfit I wore to my epic house party last weekend: a black and white colorblock bodycon dress and Aldo Rise x Preen “Buito” python colorblock heels!
I accessorized the look with layered gold necklaces (the longer “necklace” is actually a vintage belt!), lots of gold bangles and my fav gold lion ring!
Loved this look! Oh, and I am so in love with my new hair cut! More on that soon : )

It’s Part 2 of my Valspar Paint Redecoration post where I unveil my pretty and pink bedroom that I painted in Dawn’s Reveal. (Click here for Part 1). This girly hue is def my favorite. It’s calm and the rosy color is so complimentary to my mood.

I never thought I’d paint my room such a girly color but I took a chance and I’m really glad I did! I love how it came out. The perfect shade of pink! But if you ever need to do a color change up, Valspar has it’s Love Your Color Guarantee where they will give you a free can of paint if you don’t like the color you’ve chosen. So feel free to go bold and try whatever your heart’s desire! Valspar’s got your back!

This is how I’ve been storing my necklaces for years! It keeps them visual for easy picking and never gets tangled! All you need is a corkboard and jumbo thumb tacks!

Wine bottles are a creative way to organize your bangles, bracelets and cuffs!
