Cocktail Sunday

I have been a massive no-show on this streets, that's mostly because blogging and everything that comes with it (the posting, attending events etc) became a bit too much for me to handle. Regulars should be used to me having to disconnect for a couple weeks or so every few months because as much as I like to believe I'm superwoman, ever so often I am forcibly reminded that I'm not and I have to give my 100% to the career that keeps me in Maltina.

After a supremely sedentary weekend, I crawled out of my bolt-hole to attend my friend Chiz's cocktail event at L'espace. Chiz is the CEO of Elle's Icebox, the baddest cocktail company in Nigeria and the girl knows her way around a bar. I'm not a big drinker, but she hinted there were small chops and before I knew it I was speeding down Third Mainland singing 2 Become 1 in my best Mel C voice.

This is me, after healthy servings of small chops. So happy I didn't notice the Mojito being pushed into my hand.


Chiz on the left, Ij and Ify to the right.


Wasn't really fussed about my outfit, I just made sure it was loose enough to pack away the small chops without detection.




I really like this photo (below), if you squint, shape your left hand into a telescope and look very carefully into the reflection of my sunnies you can see my brother Chidi very grudgingly taking this photo.


H&M shirt, ASOS Tall wet look leggings, Calvin Klein cross body bag, Salvatore Ferragamo 'Varina' flats, Hermes bracelets, Bvlgari ring & Ray-Ban sunnies

Ohmygosh you guys, I can't believe I almost forgot to mention ASOS Tall. If you're as blessed as I am with legs for dayssss and you're stuck in a country where you cannot adequately clothe such legs due to a lack of statuesque-centric stores, ASOS Tall is here to save your entire life.

I usually buy clothes about 2 sizes bigger then amend them, just because they'd have longer sleeves or longer lengths.

This is now a thing of the past thank Christ.





Here's to regular blogging in Jesus name.

Love and light xx

 p.s. Elles Icebox will be having a karaoke event at L'espace; 19a Olosa street (the one-way street opposite Eko Hotel, you can access it through Karimu Kotun) on Thursday this week from 6pm. Imagine cocktails and karaoke......potent AF.

I'm hosting, I love karaoke and sing like a screech owl. Come through and get your entire life.

p.p.s Just saw this gif on Buzzfeed, round of applause for Chuck Bass please!


That look was sizzling!

A Study In Black & White

So last week I was on a bit of a Law Student kick and for the first time in ages, wore back to back black and white looks.

Funny how wearing black and white is the epitome of minimalist, elegant fashion and for me it represents a badge of oppression.

Was forced to wear solely black and white clothes for 5 years while an undergraduate studying Law and for another painful 1 year while at Law School. Till date it remains difficult for me to put it on without feeling like I'm back at school.



Wore the outfit on the left to work and the one on the right to the Connect Nigeria Writers Conference, at which I was a speaker.

I feel like white pumps go with EVERY thing, like I tried the shoes above with a red dress and it looked perfect. The neutral factor is beyond, white is definitely my new black.

Hair Review - Anne Elise Real Hair

I'm about to give you the goods on some seriously fabulous hair, you've probably already heard about Anne Elise Real Hair, but if you haven't here's the scoop.

I'd heard about Anne Elise Real Hair before but I'd never seen it in person, prior to the owner reaching out to me, I'd only ever seen pictures of it online. A few weeks ago however I walked into QM Nail Lounge to get my nails done and saw this person with superstar hair walking ahead of me. I was just saying to myself "wow, that is amazing hair" when the girl turned out to be none other than Anne of Anne Elise hair. We had only ever communicated via email so I had no idea what she looked like. After seeing her hair in person, I was more excited than ever to review it

Anne Elise Real Hair is made up of raw human hair origin blends which are  selected, blended into raw hair ponytails and then wefted, eventually producing one bundle.

First off, I LOVED the packaging (the bag has turned into my main salon bag btw)





It also came with a lovely paddle brush and bendy rollers which was honestly very timely as my previous brush was on its last legs. The hair also came in a satin bag.


Description

The particular hair I received is composed of Cambodian hair (for its resilience, it's loose wavy pattern and it holds styles well) and also with hair from the Russian Federation known as Russian Fede hair (this is very very soft textured hair but too soft to use straight in black hair in my opinion but lovely to touch) hence the combination.
This allows for a human hair blend that is easily styled whether it is curled, set or straightened but also blends well with black hair. 



This is what it looked like right after it was installed.



Here, the hair is in its most natural state, I didn't wash, blow dry or curl it. I just installed it as I received it. I wouldn't recommend it though, I usually co-wash human hair once I buy it before I install for the first time. This time though, I was in a hurry to catch a flight and didn't have time to wash it, but it still turned out beautifully, I LOVE the curls in their natural state.




Review

My favorite thing about this hair is that it requires minimal attention. For the first week I had it on I didn't brush it once (again, not advisable but I wanted to see how it tangled). I was absolutely gobsmacked that de-tangling with my fingers was all it took, I kid you not. I installed it on a Friday and till the next Friday I didn't run a brush through it once and it barely tangled at all. I used my fingers to de-tangle every night, spritzed on a bit of water in the morning and let it air dry and it was as good as new every day.

Top marks for that, there's absolutely nothing more irritating than hair bunching up at the back and practically turning to dreadlocks if you don't brush it every few hours.

With this hair, I promise you zero tangles.

The hair is also quite soft but not silky, it has a very dense quality that I loved, meaning it's heavy enough to hold styles. I love my long, full hair (hello Beyonce) so here I actually have five bundles installed from 20" to 26" to get the fuller quality as long hair can be quite thin.

I'm telling you I walked through that airport on 10, hair was swanging, part was laid, I didn't need to speak to anyone just swung my hair from left to right to communicate. I felt fabulous!


Hair Care Advice

Anne herself recommends trimming of the ends of this hair once it is installed/fixed but this is due to individual preference ( I didn't trim mine though, as she said....individual preference)

Maintenance
Minimal products on the hair works well. Minimal use of serum or other hair oils. Since minimal products go on the hair to maintain it, this means you don't need to wash it as often. I would suggest 2 to 3 weeks. 

Styling 
This hair can be straightened or set, but I recommend a blow dry, as it gives it a very lovely bounce and great movement. 


Pricing


It is quite affordable and ranges from N18,000 to N30,000 per bundle, depending on the length. Lengths available are from 8" to 28" (for all my fellow mami-waters)
