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
I love Jennifer Lopez and I  am now in love with Kim Kardashian

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.
