There were days when I would accompany my husband to the hardware store & show very little interest in what he was there to look for or to buy. But in the last couple of months, I have suddenly started initiating such visits (to his surprise) as I try to keep up with my DIY projects whose results I can't wait to share with you.

If only my work week would start on such a high note every time. I won the 'Fashion Designer of the Year 2017' award at the African Women in Europe Award Ceremony that took place in Berlin on Saturday. I am still on 'Cloud 9' & so so grateful to God & to everyone who in one way or another have been with me on this amazing journey. This award is not only mine but for us all. Thank you all so much.

Hope that I am not too late for the 'Mom-jeans' party but as they say, 'better late than never'. And as I always approach trends with caution, this new discovery was fround on Ebay, for a fraction of it's original price. Let's just say, I am already shopping for another pair of Mom-jeans to add to my collection because it is everything that i need in a pair of jeans, & especially in the warmer months.

It's kind of funny that whenever the idea of wearing Dungarees/Overalls came to mind, I've always associated it with pregnancy outfits. Maybe it's because it is one piece that is really loved by women when they are pregnant (but not by me). Somehow, as I try out new things in my outfits, I've decided to give them a try & am kind of loving them. Of course I prefer these 'Boyfriend-fit' ones to the form fitting ones because they are in my opinion more versatile with different styling options....

The Ruhr Museum is a new type of regional Museum with an integrative concept which combines both natural & cultural history. It showcases the entire history of the Ruhrgebiet, from the formation of coal 300 Million years ago to the current structural change towards the Ruhr Metropolis. The Museum has extensive collections on the geology, archaeology, history & photography of the Ruhr area, consisting mainly of artefacts from the collections of the former Ruhrland Museum.

Nothing says 'Weekend ready' more than a pair of distressed Boyfriend jeans like the one that I shared with you on this previous DIY post & a simple white tshirt. Jeans & a tshirt is one of the most basic combinations which you can syle up or down to fit your mood or whichever occassion that you are dressing up for .I decided to add a Tweed blazer, Faux fur stole, a Chanel inspired bag & some heels to dress it up a bit, something that I woud wear to a lunch, movie date or drinks...

Denim jackets are currently all over runways, Fashion magazines & on social media, but with embellishments such as embroidery & interesting patches. I have been, as any fashion lover been consumed with the desire to own one, but the reality is that they come at a price, a very high one most of the time. And so I began my search for patches & the perfect denim jacket (which i got off Ebay). All sorts of patches can be found on Ebay, Amazon & Etsy, but because i didn't have much...

What's not to like about this classic 'Denim on Denim' look which no matter how many times it has been done, it just keeps getting more interesting. I've always owned a denim jacket most of my adult life, but somehow last summer when the trend became popular again, I realised that I had none. So, I started looking for one, but somehow considering how full my workload is during the warmer months, i never got the time to find one. Fastforward to a month ago when i decided to make a DIY Patch...
