work work work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is has been a while, right? Well, the last time i blogged was the day my Internet access expired and had to strike a deal with "oko" in order to get him to pay for it. he finally did that last week but am so tired most nights to think of blogging.It`s been very hectic at work (omo wa ise o ri ise).i have been trying to find a good tailor for the past two months or so now. tailors have become expensive commodity; it is amazing. Imagine a tailor asking for 30k salary. For what now? my first job as a graduate i was paid 20k, it is crazy.So am thinking how do i meet up demand of my clients without hurting my pockets.secondly the cost of accessories used for making the outfits too are also getting higher, how do small biz. owners survive? right now i have decided to increase the price of the services i render, am left with no choice as it stands now. it is either that or am out of biz. soon.ciao

Fall Shoe Trends

Check out the hottest trends, tips on how to wear them.

1. Cap-Toe Heels PAIR THEM WITH ... skirt suits and wool trousers with cashmere turtleneck sweaters. So retro forties in feeling, these patterned shoes with their shiny patent-leather caps look ladylike with sheer hosiery.LOOK FOR ... mary-jane, slingback and pump styles in a variety of heel shapes and fabrics. Home in on the color of the toe cap and pick up that hue in what you wear.At left: Wool and patent-leather slingbacks by Justsweet, $115 Don Penny


2. Ankle Boots PAIR THEM WITH ... skinny jeans, long tunics or sweaters. An absolute no-no: ankle boots with knee-length skirts or dresses, unless you wear opaque tights to match.LOOK FOR ... fun accents like zippers, fur trims, cuffs and a spot of bright color. Don?t hide those details with long, wide pants; these styles are meant to be shown off.At left: Patent leather ankle boots by Studio Pollini, $475; saks.com


3. Black & Gold PAIR THEM WITH ... that special little black cocktail dress. Both sheer and opaque hosiery work beautifully; alternatively, punch up a tuxedo pantsuit.LOOK FOR ... subtle gold detailing in trims to pick up the glint in metallic clothes. Calf skin, suede and patent leather can easily transition from day to night.At left: Suede heels by Nine West, $89; ninewest.com


4. Satin Evening PAIR THEM WITH ... patterned black-tie gowns in a rainbow of colors. Match pinks with browns, plums with blacks, and blues with both.LOOK FOR ... traditional jewel tones but also pastels in shades of purple. The sheerest black hosiery will do—though a bare leg looks sexy.At left: Satin strappy heels by Moschino, $545; at Tootsies,

living your dream

What a week it has been for me, hope yours has not been half as stressed as mine who says it is easy to be your own madam. Sometimes I envy people who do “9-5 jobs”, at the end of the month they can collect their salary without having any worry. Month- ends is always a bother for me cause am thinking of paying salaries and stocking up and of course chasing my debtors. This brings me to my musing for today- living your dream
I remember how when I was still a little younger and I would be daydreaming about what my life would be like when I grow older, what I wanted to be. I used to dream that I would be chauffeur- driven in a limo and people would be at my beck and call, that I would be a famous artist, designer, entrepreneur. I would dream that I would have a one-stop shopping mall where you can get it all. I dreamt O! Yes I dreamt. I even dreamt that I got married to prince Charles (lol). Well I had all the big dreams and much more. Am I living my dreams yet? Yes and no, I am not yet there but right now I can see a clear direction of where I am going and where I want to be some years down the line-definitely a big time designer showing my stuff on the runways of Milan, Paris, London, you name it. I can see myself affecting my generation and telling my story, that if I can, so can you. Well I did not marry prince Charles but I do have my own Prince and much more.
I met a famous T.V personality today and she was telling about her schedule and her having to travel here and there and all the people she had to see and all, yeah I could see that she was stressed out, yet I could feel her passion for her work, and what crossed my mind was-is she living her dream? And I thought she most certainly must.
So feel free to dream cause to live a life devoid of dreams is to live no life at all and do live your dreams CIAO

celebration of friendships

Today, I would like to celebrate my few friends, those that have borne my eccentric nature of all, those that know the story of my life and my many struggles, those that remember to check on me when I don’t, those that just love my unconditionally.
I have got very few friends, I guess the reason is that; I have a bad habit of not keeping in touch (yeah I make friends easily but I just don’t know how to keep them). So I would like to celebrate these few and let them know that they are always on my mind.
* This list is not in any particular order.

Obi – we have been friends since high school. I would sneak to her house to have a good lunch back in my boarder days
Efosa- my ONLY male friend. He is getting married this weekend-HAPPPPPPPY MARRIED LIFE O
Tolulope- knows me in and out. I could never conveniently lie to her.
Tosan- very supportive and dependable.
Monica- a quiet adviser
Mobola-only got close recently; she was a good support while I was pregnant.
Remi and Dije- both of them I hardly talk to but can always bet on them any day.


So guys pls bear with me and know I care.

Meanwhile, I am requesting for applications for new friends to hang out with, interested, mail me wunmia@yahoo.com
Ciao
