[Side Note: Picture heavy post] In my previous post, (click here if you missed it), I shared a high school friend’s traditional Nigerian wedding with you all. This post is about her white wedding held at Trunkwell Mansion House in Reading as the title of this post suggests.

Wake-Up Call
Last week I went to a traditional Nigerian wedding with some high school friends (the bride also went to our high school). Nigerian weddings…actually Nigerian events in general, are very vibrant and lively affairs, as evidenced in a previous post of mine (read here) and this one was no different. Typically at Nigerian weddings, the… Continue reading Wake-Up Call
6 Word Story: Caution
So I'm feeling in a really minimalist mood at the moment hence the sparse nature of this post/story. I'm being very economical with my words: spoken and written and also with my time. The photos below were taken in front of my parents house in Nigeria, aka The White House (for obvious reasons), back in… Continue reading 6 Word Story: Caution
The Girl Next Door
I know some really attractive people - inside and out. A prime example is the gorgeous young lady below. This shoot was really impromptu actually as I hadn't woken up with taking any photographs in mind.

The Secret
Contrary to what my previous posts would have you believe thus far, I actually spend 75% of my outdoor life in heels. And yes, I really do wear heels almost every day. That's no secret. However, I have been thinking about secrets a lot lately - the secrets we keep from others and those that… Continue reading The Secret
Hearts and Stars
Welcome to my first post. Although I prefer plain colours and simple, elegant tailoring, I am a fan of polka dots, hearts and stars. This love tends to present itself in my pyjamas and occasionally t-shirts. Nothing beats being curled up and comfortably dressed when writing a journal entry. Do you love shapes / patterns… Continue reading Hearts and Stars
