Weather Update: Signs of Fall are beginning to show. Somehow in my mind, Fall is equivalent to Winter. I know that sounds messed up, but when I think about Fall the only other thing that comes to my mind is the upcoming Winter. I feel like we don't get enough days for Fall. (Who's with me?)  Today was really dark and grey out here. I don't think the sun came out to say hi even for once. Regardless, Fall is still my favorite season of the year and I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Which season is your favorite? 

Hair Update: Of late, I've been wearing my hair out a lot by using bantu knots. Do you guys know any other natural hairstyles? I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, and enjoy the rest of your week!

Back to My Roots: Duro Olowu




Some of you many not be aware, but I am a Nigerian by birth. I lived in Nigeria for 12 years, then I moved to Ghana in 2006 and now I am in Canada. Most of you guys have never heard my voice. No, I do not have a Canadian/American accent. I have a mix of Nigerian and Ghanaian accent mostly because of the people in my immediate surroundings. However, most people would say I'm more of a Ghanaian than a Nigerian, but my full name Kikelomo Omolehinwa would, no doubt, tell anyone that I'm 100% Nigerian. Lol.



Blouse: Forever 21 | Shorts: Duro Olowu For JCP | Shoes: GoJane | Bag: Louis Vuitton | Earrings: Ardene | Wristwatch: Avon's Men's Wristwatch

Total Cost: Approx. $61

About the Outfit: I was very pleased to get my hands on this pair of shorts from the Duro Olowu - JCP collection during my trip to the States. Duro Olowu is a Nigerian designer based in London, UK. I found this pair in the clearance rack and I quickly grabbed it because I absolutely love the vibrant print and pattern on it. I'm not really a shorts person; however, when I saw Ms. Sole of Love, Life & Pearls in a similar pair, I knew I wanted one for myself!

Do you currently live in your country/place of birth, or have you moved? And how many times?
