Definition of style.
STYLE is wearing what suits your frame and what you are very comfortable in. At times, when I love what is in vogue, I go with it but most times, I love to stand out by setting my own trend. The occasion I'm going to really influences what I wear.
Beauty regimen.
I cleanse, moisturise and tone my face daily. I also do sit ups every morning.Once a month ,I go for body exfoliation at a beauty parlour and I do my facials twice daily. I use Clarins and for make-up, I use Mac and Mary Kay products
Choice of accessories.
I love accessories, from shoes,belts,jewellery to scarves.
Favourite designers.
If I see a beautiful piece, I go for it. However, when it comes to bags, I am a Hermis and LV addict. For belts, I love Gucci and Hermes, while for dresses, I love Vera Wang and Christian Dior.
Favourite perfumes .
Bourdoir by Vivienne Westwood, Flower by Kenzo and Deep Heat by Hugo Boss.
Favourite colours.
Blue, red, green and purple
Accessories I can't do without when going out.
I think my earrings and lip gloss.
Most expensive item in my wardrobe.
A rolex wrist watch my husband gave me last year's valentine day.
Opinion on toning.
I think every woman should love her complexion the way it is. My advice is that a woman should use products that will help her to maintain and improve on her appearance and that is why I always recommend moisturisers to women.It helps the skin a lot.
Opinion on cosmetic surgery.
I will never do it, this is because I have this terrible feeling that it always go wrong.
Fashion icons

Diet or exercise.
I diet and exercise
Special treat.
I go to the body parlour once in a month, I get into a sauna, get massage, steam bath, manicure , pedicure,all in one day.
Secret of beauty.
I don't have any secret o! I guess I am just lucky and maybe because I take good care of my self.
What I like doing to my hair and nails.
I love wearing lace wigs and for my nails, I just do pedicure and cortex it.
What I won't be caught dead wearing?
Net leggings
Opinion on provocative dressing?
I think when you are too showy, it makes you look tacky and the more flesh you show, the more tacky you look, especially if you are a plus size lady.
The craziest thing I can do for the sake of fashion.
Maybe shop, shop, shop and shop everyday I love shopping and most times, I end up buying things that I won't wear or already have. I think that is crazy.
Hobbies.
I love cooking, watching movies and gisting.
