First Blog Post !! So many new things  are happening in my life…

I’ve experienced so many success as well as failures and new beginnings. I finally feel like I’m living my life because I AM making the choices. This blog is one of many new things. I wanted a platform to share my style, inspire creativity and be inspired by others I come across on this new journey.

Before we usher in the new year it is only right that I do a New Year’s Eve inspired outfit post.

On New Year’s Eve my #1 rule is always – DITCH THE SEQUIN DRESS. This gold Tuxedo dress was part of  Rihanna’s 2013 Winter collaboration with River Island. I was surprised Rihanna never wore it herself (she seems to love tuxedo dresses). I was even more surprised I did not see other prominent bloggers wear it. So fast forward one year later – I was invited to a Bachlorette white and gold party in Ghana and I needed to wear gold because I knew everyone would wear white. I looked around Ebay and scored this amazing number for a cool £100 ($155.21).

I would definitely wear this for NYE festivities. It’s soo different. The chances of other girls wearing a tuxedo dress on NYE are slim – The chances of them wearing a GOLD tuxedo dress are slim to none.

So Fab, So Masculine, So effortlessly cool and Soo Sexyy. Try Something Risky!
