FASHION SHOW AND THE LOTS

i can`t seem to be able to post as regularly as i would have loved to.keeping a blog is hard work, it is hard work trying to gather my thoughts together each time i have to post stuff on.All the same am here today so i will try and keep you up to date as much as possible.
My last post was sometime in march and at that time DFL was in process of re-organizing and this we have done by unveiling our new management office,by doing this we hope that we would be giving our clients a more conducive atmosphere for business.

At the beginning of each year, i sit down and try to come up with my strategy for the year both personal and career,I have started work on them, one of which is my 2010 collection and DFL look book.I am a firm believer of planning cos he who fails to plan definitely plans to fail.Some of the dresses are work in progress but have decided to upload them, maybe to whet some appetite of what is yet to come, hopefully by Easter the full collection would be unveiled.

clips from design for love photo shoot (2009)

The idea behind this particular shoot was to get together some of my best clients and i asked them to bring their "5 best outfits" which i made for them. i will put up more of the pics as i get permissions from them to use their pics on this blog ENJOY!!!!!!!!

in and out IN AGAIN but hopefully for good

In 2008 when, i thot of writing a blog, i thot it wld be as easy as abc but no,my initial frustrations was the internet connection i was using at the time which made me spend hours without much progress.The initial plan for the blog was to have a place where my hubby and i could share our thots and generally have some online fun which we cld share with others, hence the name tokotaya
The blog went into hibenation due to the internet connection frustration,and since the original creator was not pushy enough, my hubby never got that much involved.
In 2009, i tried again to revive it by writing about the memoirs of my lagos business school experience but that to did not last.
Well, this is 2010 and am attempting again to get back to blogging, hopefully, i will succeed this time around.
now the focus this time would be on what i do - fashion, so let`s see how this goes.
