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.

CEM 10 THE BEST IS YET TO COME

ready, steady and off to school

see you guys there!!!!!!!!!!

And this is where our entrepreneurial spirits are challenged,

welcome to CEM 10 THE BEST is yet to come

EDS CEM 10: THE LOW DOWN

it has been 6 weeks and 7 modules down of learning to be the better business people that we all have been gunning for.it is has been a journey of new experiences, new friendships,new ideas,and above all a newer entrepreneurs.What the journey has been so far is what i will try to recount over the next few days and to introduce u all to my new family.
As expected i (and am sure a whole lot of us) had many expectations at the beginning of the course,as for me, i had gotten to a point in my business where i did not want it to be business as usual, i needed to put in place structures in my biz, i wanted to be taken more seriously, and above all i needed to be more financially successful
well the first week set the ball rolling for me, and i have started seeing my biz in a new light, and i am more challenged to take my biz to the next level. I have meet the most talented group of people in this class, it is really great to be part of CEM 10, the talents are so diverse; from photographers to teachers to caterers and all the works and they each have their uniqueness.

There is so much to learn from each and everyone of them. In my subsequent posts i will analyze the class. I have grouped the class into 4 zones according to our sitting positions.viz:

• O zone
• N zone
• C zone
• E zone

i will try in subsequent posts to analyze each zone and their uniqueness. but for now i am out of here.

owambe mentality 2

i have blogged on this topic last year, but recent events have spurred the need to say one or two things about this topics. firstly can we define aso-ebi-- by literal definition it means relative`s outfits,in the 9ja sence very one is ur relative as long as they can afford the aso-ebi ,pls y do i have to spend 20k on aso-ebi even though am close to the celebrant, is it really necessary, should i spend so much for an outfit i might not really like, is it right to borrow money to pay for aso-ebi,i can`t understand the rationale behind this owambe mentality,what do u think
