Mom Life and Blogging Life.

Hello beautiful people, welcome back! If you haven’t yet subscribed to my Blog, kindly hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s connected.

Addressing the messages I get on how I manage my Mom life and Blogging. It has been a huge adjustment since having a baby as I work around his schedule but I push to make things work on my blog.

By working around his schedule, I use every spare minute to put a line down, or take some pictures for my content. Most times, I shoot some contents at midnight when I know he’s fast asleep. That’s the sacrifice and hard work I put into creating contents for my blog.

Most times, it takes me days to put a blog post together and ready for publishing. Eg for this particular post, I am currently put together my write up, my pictures haven’t been edited just yet, I will have to edit them later and add them to the desired space.

The aim is getting something out every week so I try to create contents every spare time and day to achieve my goal.

It’s not the most comfortable or easy scenerio, but I am determined to keep my readers engaged and it’s an avenue for me to express myself on all things fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

I loved curating this look because was a perfect blend of highs and lows. The teddy coat and bag are from Burlington and I love them so much, the coat is soft, comfy and keeps me warm. The sweater dress is from Nordstrom Rack and it’s really soft. The shoes are Aldo and belt is Thrifted.

Another way I create contents is by shooting different looks in a day. That gives me the opportunity of having shot contents to work on later.

Pairing these items together, created a very chic and sophisticated look in my opinion. It could pass for a business meeting look, brunch look and a party look.

THRIFTING THRIFTING THRIFTING has been one of my favorite sports because it promotes sustainability in the fashion industry.

A8DC44BF-291D-4548-9856-3C25258968F2 — My Entire Outfit is Pre-Owned

I curated this look with individual items in my closet that I had purchased from thrift shops.

These items are unique as they can be worn individually or paired together as seen. Pre-owned items foster sustainability because they are second-hand, and are ecologically friendly. Hence the need to produce new items will diminish.

As a lover of Vintage clothes and an owner of a VINTAGE SHOP, I find it more interesting to go in search of these items and most of them are designer items, very unique (not seen everywhere), stylish and good quality.

You can check out my VINTAGE SHOP for listed hand-picked items that aid sustainability.

This is an OVER-SIZED tweed jacket I styled using a belt to accentuate my waist line, paired with a silk shirt and a Wrangler Pair of Jeans.

One of the advantages of having pre-owned items, is that you get them at affordable prices, if not super cheap. Most of them are fairly used and occasionally, you can find new items with tags on!!!!

The material is scratch and tear resistant, hypoallergenic, water-resistant, flame retardant, anti-static, and resistant to stains. JORD put a lot of research into this material to make a high-quality, natural material handbag!

Today I am writing about LIP MONTHLY and all their lovely goodies.

It’s a subscription for Full sized Lipsticks, Lip stains, Lip pencils and Eyeshadow sticks. Being my first time to try out their collection, I was impressed.

This bag contained a total of four full items that worked perfectly with it each other. I could use them separately or blend them to create a look.

I used the Eyeshadow Stick to highlight my brow bone.

Overall, it is a good mix of makeup items which would last a long time.

Checking out Scissor Tail Park.

The Bridge.

CJ and I had planned on checking out this Skydance Bridge here in OKC and we got to finally do so in Fall. Such a beautiful but windy day, my hair kept flying and it was difficult to get a shot without having flyways.

A very neat and beautiful park, lots of people taking strolls and enjoying the beautiful weather. I was 33 weeks pregnant, dragged my big bump and took a stroll round the park, absorbing its beauty and capturing some moments.

Decided to style my maternity leggings with this Duster jacket by By the Way a brand carried by REVOLVE . It was a perfect fit for the weather which wasn’t cold or damn hot. Styled with a little slim belt and threw on my flats from New Look (It takes me extra 5 mins to get myself situated to put on a pair of shoes)

I could feel my baby growing by the inch during this shoot. That’s why it is always advisable to have a comfortable choice of clothing when pregnant, because you could be comfy one second and the next you are over every damn thing!!!!!!!!

Leggings are from Burlington— of which I have had an obsession with this store and they carry amazing clothing items of unique designers and style.

Did I mention the slits on both sides of the Duster jacket, makes it more stylish, free and workable.

Wind was in the way but we sure knew how to make it Fashionable!!!!

Closet Adjustments.

Hello everyone, welcome back! I hope you all are doing great. Thanks for stopping by but if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below at the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

My closet needs didn’t change much as I mostly sized up. I avoided the maternity section in stores until there was an absolute need for it.

One thing I did for sure, was clear out my closet in other to accommodate the new items I was going to buy.

I basically spent my days and trimesters in big shirts, skirts and dresses. I hated jeans until it got cold.

I’m glad I didn’t get to spend lots of money and even got irritated when I had to shop for newer items because I realised my bump grew bigger in the space of 2 weeks!!!

I was glad I had big shirts that could accommodate my growing bump but spent money buying sweaters and cardigans in XLs.

I hope you found my blog post helpful especially the expectant moms out there.

Maternity Wardrobe Needs.

Hello everyone, welcome back! I hope you all are doing great. This is a going to be a short blog post but first, if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

Being pregnant and having to adjust to your wardrobe needs without spending so much money is a huge task. Luckily, I didn’t have to buy a range of maternity clothing during my first and second trimester because I could still fit into most of my dresses, shirts and skirts and got ONE maternity leggings to style with my work shirts. All I did was pull them up above my bump.

I usually sized up if I needed to.

This dress is a very old dress I have had for over 5 years but its style makes it possible to wear with or without a bump.

CJ and I finally got to shoot at a sunflower spot she found. It was a quick and fun shoot.

My Neutrogena Collection.

Featured By Simply Style By J 2 Comments

Welcome back everyone, hope you are doing well. It’s been a hot minute I wrote a blog post on my skincare routine. First, if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

CAVEAT: I must say that I am in no way a skincare expert, neither do I have any training on skincare. This is just me sharing my daily/weekly routine.

FD7FA2D2-D60B-4660-9EBA-DCA1365143E3 — Body Oil, Multivitamin Booster and Whipped body balm.

I am a bigger believer and consumer of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Collection because I have a dry skin and reach out for products that contain Hyaluronic Acid which is a hydrating element.

I have been using Neutrogena products since 2012 before the Hydro Boost Collection launched, and I can attest to these products working perfectly fine with my skin. The body oil has been in y collection since then, and I always mix it with the lotion or cream.

8B12F5CB-7EC3-4EE6-8594-7B9B8071FFE5 — Hydrogel Mask, Watergel Moisturiser, Overnight Mask and Hydrating Cleansing Gel.

However, there are other skincare products I use here and there but these are my constant, daily/weekly routine products that I use and will always be in my collection.

C3A06F84-60EE-4690-9B24-ACFB151F1E4C — Makeup Cleansing Towelettes and the Deep Clean Gentle Scrub.

The makeup cleansing towelette is super hydrating and moist. You can literally use just one to take away your makeup, leaving your skin hydrated. It doesn’t dry up your skin but adds moisture and hydration while you clean.

The gentle scrub is great on my skin because it is mild and can be used as a daily scrub. Its soft, smooth and rich in texture containing tiny beads.

9C79D35B-CB90-48A4-B640-E516F8745542 — Liquid-lotion Sunscreen in SPF 30 & Ultra Sheer Body Mist in SPF 45

I enjoyed using these sunscreen in summer, especially the spray bottle as it makes it easier for application.

Living off Skirts.

Featured By Simply Style By J

Hello beautiful people, welcome back! I am always excited to get back to these keyboards to express my fashion thoughts. If you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below on the left side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

It’s funny how I am African but can’t stand the heat wave here in America. It is humid, and super uncomfortable. I am 100% certain at this point that the sun and its humidity is definitely different than Nigeria.

Due to the discomfort summer brings, I decided to incorporate light weight skirts into my wardrobe for summer. If I need to wear trousers, I gravitate towards Palazo Pants or Culottes.

This is an old skirt from seasons back I got from FOREVER21. Pretty sure it’s out but I will link something else HERE & HERE

I was going for a Tan and Cream look, so I styled each individual item with the aim of achieving the color scheme. Shoes are STEVE MADDEN and you can shop same shoes HERE

This statement necklace is a THRIFT find and it’s ANN TAYLOR!! going for $4!!!! The price at which I got it for is incredible, that’s why I love thrifting because it is a challenge for me to find quality items without a cost.

Top is a FOREVER21 (OLD)which works as a staple piece in my closet.

Got my bag from Francesca’s and you can shop same one HERE

Skirts are the most comfortable and breathable outfits this season. They come in various fabrics but I will personally opt for satin, silk, flair, polyester, slits, button downs etc. Jeans are not the way to go right now. I love this Who What Wear midi-skirt because not only is it stylish and breathable, it is perfect for summer.

A gorgeous mix of colors, which made me style with a LEVI’S Tee, a flat shoes by KARL LAGERFELD and a STEVE MADDEN cross body bag you can shop HERE

I STRONGLY advise you visit my Vintage Clothing Shop HERE as there is an ongoing sale on select items.

This was one of my most fun shoots with my friend CJ. We found this spot and got stuck with it. Good environment and perfect angles.

This outfit is a good choice for brunch or day-time activities with friends. You can switch this look to a night-time look by having those perfect heels on and a stack of bangles.

I left three buttons open, in other to create the illusion of a front slit, which turned out perfect. You can decide to style it whichever way too. A tank top and a pair of blazers is also a great way to style this skirt, a crop top, or a top with puff sleeves. Any choice of color will be great as no one cares how you mix and match your colors, just make it FASHIONABLE!!!!!!!

I am excited also that this is my 99th blog post since I started blogging and sharing my thoughts about fashion. I pray my 100th post brings greater accomplishments for my Blog.

Have you checked out the NEW Listings in my Vintage Clothing Store? Check it out HERE

These pants are a perfect example of summer vibes. Its colors, designs, florals and pleat is a great mix that depicts the season. It’s a Newlook item which was gifted to me by my sister-in-law and has been one of the fun staple pieces in my closet.

Top from Primark, earrings from H&M, Shoes from Old Navy. I linked these Items on my previous post. you can check them out and shop.

Shoes extremely comfortable, good choice for summer and if you need something flat, stylish and comfortable. Top is light weight and suitable for the weather. I chose to style the pants with Teal because it’s one of the highlighted colors on the pants.

You can choose whatever color you desire.

Statement earrings are a great choice for accessorizing if you have less make up or you need to create a focus on your face. I will link a couple of statement earrings below to shop.

You can certainly style this top in various ways, one of which is with a work wear pants or skirt to create a work wear or a pair of White Jeans to help create a contrast with the Teal shade and make it stand out.

Same option goes for the Pants as you have various options in styling it. I would suggest a graphic Tee, a white shirt, tank tops, Blazers, Jumpers etc. You can also decide to mix florals together, no harm, it’s fashion and make it stylish!!!!

The sun is getting hotter by the day and thank God the days of tornadoes are behind us! We had a terrible straight two-weeks tornado episodes. However, I am back to share this monotone look with a work wear shirt.

First off, kindly check out the new listings in my VINTAGE CLOTHING SHOP Here

Did I mention how I am in love with lace fabrics? especially those that come in bigger cords. They are rich in their quality, looks and texture, but can be tricky as when you don’t go for the right size, style and design.

A basic corporate shirt can be worn in several ways. You can switch this up at work if you have to catch up with friends for drinks after work. All you have to do is roll up the sleeves, let a few buttons down and knot it up to help accentuate your waist line.

This skirt is one of the prettiest item I have owned. It is very unique and can be worn in different ways. The color and pattern is fabulous, elevating the looks of a basic work wear shirt. My friend CJ certainly knows how to capture details.

Shirt is linen which is one of the most annoying fabrics ever!! The wrinkage level on this fabric cannot be over-emphasized.

Paired my look with an Old Navy sling back Teal Faux Suede sandals, H&M Earrings and my straw bag from Looks like summer

Wonderful weather, very airing and calm. As usual, went for a little hangout with my friend CJ at the Midwest City Shopping center at Tinker Air force Base.

Entire outfit is pretty old except my Hat and Bag. I decided to have the hat and the straw bag because we had a park location shoot which was a perfect way to add a picnic look to my outfit. The hat is from TARGET which I absolutely love because is packable, adjustable and great to shade the UV rays from my face.

The Straw bag which is one of my most recent spring summer buy, is from Looks Like Summer and they have a beautiful range of bags. You can shop mine HERE it’s called the Grace Straw Basket Bag.

I totally love the lace and polka dots details on this Top which I got it last season from Marshalls and the prefect blend of the Denim fabric wide leg pants from Love Culture you can get something similar HERE

It is spring and I decided to incorporate a couple of pastel colours into my colour scheme outfits. I knew I wanted to style this my top by Whowhatwear being a cool tone that will go perfectly with my Chic and Stylish Jacket from Shein. Never shopped in Shein but this was a good buy, although I got some wrong picks in there.

I will advise that when shopping from Shein, go a size up because they run small in fits ie it’s a China brand.

Paired the Top and Jacket with the Alfred Dunhill Pastel Yellow Pants I have had for quite a while now. I love it because I can style it as a work wear, casual outfit and night out with friends. For my accessories, I styled with a dainty pearl pin earings to match the pearls on the jacket, my Giogio Armani favorite wristwatch, flat pair of beige shoes and my blurred out yellow mini crossbody bag on the table right there.

I have something exciting to share with you all but first, if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below in the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

On March 30th, I launched my my Vintage Clothing Shop!!!! Check it out HERE and I ship worldwide. If you know a little about me on here, I usually style a couple of vintage pieces and I love hw unique and different the stand out! Hence, I decided to start up an online clothing store where you can find and purchase all the exceptional pieces I have sourced for and handpicked.

I must say, I am very excited yet a little tensed about this current situation because it’s a path I have never taken, but I am willing to learn and grow in it. I am also happy I get to make available timeless pieces made of quality fabrics.

Did I mention this denim Skirt is Vintage? Styling these items with modern day clothes are one of my best styling activities. They expand my creativity and I appreciate textures, patterns and designs in different ways.

Prints are in!! All kinds and sorts. I was able to snag this Zebra Print Turtle Neck Top from Shein , it’s super light weight and soft.

I will link different types and styles here for you to choose→→This from Missguided →This from Shein →This from Forever21 →This from TJ Maxx →This from bloomingdales

My goal is to find affordable quality items for My Shop . Would also state that “I do not own the manufacturing rights to these vintage items”, but happy to source for them.

If you are willing to ditch Fast Fashion for items that are outstanding, then My Shop is a place you should visit frequently. This Banana Republic Denim Skirt is a subsitute for mine.

I hope you visited My Shop and enjoyed this blog post. You can leave your comments and suggestions while you hit the follow button below. Have a blessed week. Xoxo Joy.

An interesting day again with CJ, after we had driven around town, looking for a good picture location, dealing with shadows in our tests shoot, we ended on a busy bridge with tonnes of people walking by. Could our photo session get any worse? No, but we had to summon courage for the lens.

My shirt had wrinkled from the long sitting and driving, but I was hell bent on shooting this look. Achieving this casual day time look, I styled my multi-colored shirt with a white denim, paired with my midi block heels from Cato Fashion which I absolutely recommend as a transitional piece for spring. They are sold out on these because I got them last season. Linking a couple here Miu Miu Camel-Brown Heels which you can also shop from Current Boutique and this VERY similar one by Spring Step .

One of my first 80s VINTAGE thrifted item is this shirt by CALICHE COLLECTION which I found on a random Etsy Shop HERE

With spring here, you will be seeing more white jeans and colorful outfits.

My slim belt is ALDO and you can shop the exact same one HERE and a couple of similar ones Here, Here, and Here.

Hello everyone, welcome back. I will be sharing a simple and quick post on how to style a satin scarf. I did a practical video on this on my Instagram TV, you can check out my instagram @onyins to see more on that video.

In the bid of taking these pictures, I was practically sinking into the grass in other to get a good spot. Any ways, I want to talk about this H&M satin scarf.

Such a beautiful, huge, multi-colored, patterned scarf I used to create this ruche. I laid the scarf out, folded it into two, threw over my neck, making sure that the length on each sides were equal, used a slim belt to secure it round my waist, adjusted as required and moved the scarf around to create the ruche/pleats.

I chose to style this scarf by wearing an all cream outfit, to create a matching contrast on the scarf. Linking this DKNY Scarf here, it’s huge, suitable to create this look and can also be found in MACYs . Also this one Here which can be found in H&M.

Paired with my VERY OLD Primark, sandals which has different prints and patterns. I would link a similar one here→→ this Jean-Michel ankle strap sandals has a similar outlook with mine and you can also get in on THEREALREAL .

Paired with my Aldo Andressera Crossbody bag

Linking this Karl Lagerfeld crossbody bag here as an option, and this Stuart Weitzman crossbody bag as another option, which can also be found in the THEREALREAL

The Streets and Fashion.

Featured By Simply Style By J 2 Comments

Hello everyone, welcome back. It is officially Spring today as I compose this post, so I am aware that we will all be excited about the warmth we have now.

If you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, please hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

Saturday morning, CJ and I decided to take the streets for our photo session. The first couple of hours was a hassle because we had chosen Brick town here in Oklahoma City, little did we know that it would be packed full with people because it was a beautiful warm day.

We took it down to the streets, with a number of people walking around, road blocks and people staring, we kept doing our thing. At first, I was a little uncomfortable because I have never gone out out to take pictures in a busy City where people are watching. After a while, I became confident and didn’t care, walking and flipping my hair across the streets.

On to this Ralph Lauren Blazer! It was the focal point of this shoot. I chose to go with an all white look, to help accentuate the Blazer. I love this long-line Blazer because it has an awesome cut, the side pockets, the detailed gold buttons, on the sleeves and front area. I linked a couple of long-line blazers here Theory Super-Cinch Fremont Plaid Long-Line Blazer through Neiman Marcus from Shop Style Collective . This Anne Klein Bold Stripe Blazer Jacket is similar to it and you can get it from Nordstrom Rack Here

Stacked with a three tier necklace I got from Charlotte Russ (unfortunately they are closing down) hoops and my purse as the accessories.

You can style with any basic white tank top of your choice. I linked these here for you guys Treasure & Bond white tank> White Jeans from H&M will link a couple here by Vince Camuto this by Style & Co.

Shoes by Aldo purse by New Look. Linking a this gorgeous pair of shoes here by Botkier can be found also under Bloomingdale’s and this La Regale gold clutch purse which can be found at OFF 5TH

Spring is here, there will be lots of weddings so I decided to make a post on wedding outfit inspiration. This is a French Connection dress which I got from Nordstrom

The lace, the pleats and the deep V neck line, makes this dress and great choice for a wedding guest. It is simple yet stylish with the details on every corner. Since I got this dress off the rack in Nordstrom, there was only one available so I will link a couple of dresses here. I have combed through French Connection’s website and can’t find it.

This Vince Camuto Lace Sheath dress can also be found in Nordstrom. This Bardot Gemma Halter Lace Sheath Dress is also a great choice.

The sun was a little blinding but we made its work!

The details on the neck is unique and compliments the pleats below. This Eliza J Bell Sleeve dress is also a great option. Paired this look with my Kurt Geiger sparkly heels (Quite Old) and a purse I got as a gift. Linking a couple of options for sparkly shoes here Jimmy Choo Gold Sparkly D’orsay

Ardene Sparkly Stilettos

You can decide on which color of dress you choose to wear but I am all about the style, details and how to make a complete outfit come alive. Added my dainty necklace, to accentuate the neck line and my earrings to compliment the lining underneath the dress.
