Buy it. Wear it. Love it!!! – My Ankara Peplum Top, Purse and Shoes.

Hello my ever stylish readers, today, I introduce to you a new category I have called Buy it,Wear it, Love it!!! (BWL)  This is my shopping and styling experience brought to you firsthand. I thought it would be nice to share these experiences in pictures- where I shop when I need to get certain pieces of clothing, beauty products or accessories either for myself or  friends and well, anyone else and then style the pieces, items or outfits in one or more ways meanwhile telling you how much I loved the experience and the items.

If you live in these areas, you could probably pop into these shops to find and feed your own shopping desires too.

So last week I had to pick out some Ankara items for myself, I had a lunch event to attend with my family and to be honest, I’m not really the everyday wearing  Ankara kind of person but this time I wanted to look different and chic for this lunch. I decided to go check out this shop called Shona 100%  that only retails everything Ankara from earrings, yes earrings, to umbrellas, shoes and everything in between! Look:

It was fun just looking around and trying out stuff  but you know I have a tendency to have too much fun when I’m doing what I love and this day was not different!

 

Eventually I happened upon this lovely peplum top in red, yellow and black, a front zipper and cap sleeves. The cut was fantastic and the color complemented my skin like nothing else!

Then this peep toe pumps in pink, black, green and yellow Ankara print caught my eye also. Hmm…

 

This purse, not really me but one rule in shopping? don’t say no till you try it! ….and I loved it!!!!

So I settled for this unique look: The red print Ankara top, The pink, yellow, a hint of red and black purse and the pumps in the same color family as the purse. Yay!

Styling it was easy as all I had to do was find a piece to play down all the bright colors. I decided on these Tommy Hilfiger blue wash jeans…it was lunch after all! I added these loop earrings, the gold cuffs and bangles to accessorize and then my favorite red lipstick too…I was in a zesty mood, a nice outfit will do that for you, you know.

Notice the embellishment around the neck area and across the fabric of the top?

Sorry I had to take this call…

Nice nice nice. I can now say that I love every item I bought. Lesson learnt? don’t be afraid to try new looks, you might just love it! and big thanks to my sweet, sweet husband for not rolling his eyes when I asked him to take these photos of me!

Looking forward to my next shopping experience with you all!!!

Hugs :))

Blue Sunday

Sunday is usually a relaxed day in my home. After church, we have a huge lunch and catch a few ZZZs.

I Decided to make sky blue with a hint of silver grey and black(shoes) my prime colors for dress up.

Tip: when you want to play mix and match in a trendy way, pick your theme color and then one or two other colors and find an accessory that ties it all in- in this case my shoes!

Welcome to my style blog!

 

Hello and welcome to the very first post on my new blog!

I was inspired to finally start this blog for two reasons- my long time love for writing- the idea of getting my thoughts out there for like-minded people like you to connect with proved too hard to resist! Second- my attraction to fashion, style and beauty and how it helps the ordinary person not only look really good, but… you know that feeling you have when you leave your home knowing you look like a million bucks? it heightens your mood and makes you feel extra confident! You may feel that way some days but imagine if you could feel that way all the time, everyday! well, visit often and we’ll see that that happens 🙂 That’s the reason why this blog as well as my brand is named Style by Molekor. Style is an individual’s interpretation of fashion that gives them an image and identity that is theirs alone and that makes them who they are.

I am a petite Stylist (from the British College of Professional Styling UK) who loves to help each person I meet find their own individuality within their style.  My personal style is somewhat classic, minimalist and feminine though and I loooove clothes!  that of course means I like shopping. I also love travelling (though taking two energetic boys through their daily routine leaves little room for much else), movies and anything else that draws my creativity out  ; )

Its been a ball sharing my first words with you, here’s hoping you stop by again.

Hugs :))
