One of my music Icons Michael Jackson died a few days ago... and I was completely devastated by the news.
I used to love that man so much... I grew up being terrified of the thriller video but stayed glued to the tv everytime it came on... I grew up doing the splits... singing 'we are the world' at the top of my lungs and doing the michael 'hee hee' at the end of every song...
I still planned to marry Michael Jackson
... if he refused to(which I doubt... if only he'd met me)... He was just going to have to give me away at my wedding... or perform in it at least...
But now that dream is over
I feel like I have lost a good portion of my childhood...
...and I'm sad.
So now I have decided to mourn my love... I will wear black for the next 7 days... by wearing black clothes, eyeliner and a veil of tears.
Day 1:
One of my closest friends invited me to her church on Sunday... which went really well by the way... but I noticed that African churches usually spend a lot of time in the service.. up to 4 hours at a stretch... I actually had to step outside for a chocolate break at some point(dont tell anybody ... lol)
I have never worn all black before(I don't think)... so I brought in a little metallic to give me a bit of shine...
oh and I wore makeup!!! lol
We had the best day ever... we all went out to an asian restaurant for lunch... so much fun...
We headed to a house party after this... much fun, amazing drinks, music and michael jackson dances... LOVED IT!
Dress: United colours of Benetton, Shades: Prada Butterflies, Earrings: My favorite random jewellry store(which I can never remember the name of), Shoes: Patricia Field, Bracelets: Versace, versace, swarovski etc

ReplyDeletei love your hair!
regarding you're earlier post, after talking to my mom, she pretty much said that Northern Nigeria is major strict/conservative when it comes to women's dressing.
It's hot! so it makes sense to me to wear shorter clothing. I haven't been in Nigeria since i was 5 back in early '99, but i hope in the future, it'll change, so i can wear my cute whit bubble shorts! :)
ps, have you been to Lagos? (it's my hometown!)
Lol ur quite funny! I'm a big MJ fan myself. Actually a stan if u will. I'm still devastated by d whole thing.
ReplyDeleteU look really nice. loving those pumps.
it's so sad...but your shoes are lovely!
ReplyDeletex
Cute!
ReplyDeleteI love sushi! Deliciousssss!!

I love your shoes, the color of them is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhen I heart of Michaels dead I was so so deeply shocked. The world lost an amazing performer and person...
ReplyDeleteBut I must say that even though you're wearing black to mourn your love, you do look beautiful
i like your simple but so stylish dress. matching with bright shoes looks very good!
ReplyDeletelove those heels!
ReplyDeletethe dark against your bright shoes look great! and i know what you mean, that thriller video creeped me out!!! I loved it, but I hated the scariness of it when I was little haha xx
ReplyDeleteBradford: Went to a tribute today... sooo touching i tell u... saw ur pictures as well... love em...
ReplyDeleteKirstyb: tell me about it...
Tip: lol... i thought i was the only one man... thanks luv
Virgos lounge: lol right? They can take FOREVER! But i guess their intentions are good.. its just sometimes u start losing the message if they take too long to get to it... but its all good... in God we trust...
Simplychic: lol... thanks hunnie
Mo: i know... i miss him too... thanks love for stopping by... yeah nigerias north is quite conservative but funny enough I didn’t go there... i went to Lagos(which is where ur from right... its amazing there... so much fun things to do... and eat)... lol Heaven help u when u go though cos though they don’t really make any moves to... they constantly harass people about getting arrested for wearing certain clothes.. though it really does depend on where u go in Nigeria...
Dith: oh my gosh.. i Love u... from one stan to another... thanks for stopping by.. lol.. ur now a favourite.. hehe
Katie: thanks darling
Nerdic: I know!! Me too.. funny enough most of my friends cant stand sushi... so sad cos they really don’t know what they’re missing
