Morning people, it’s October! I wish you all a very happy and blessed month ;)

TV personality Rocsi Diaz arrived at the Longines Los Angeles Masters at Los Angeles Convention Centre in a £170 Cos Mos Dress by Three Floor. She paired the beautiful number with diamond stud earrings, delectable lashes, nude makeup and nude pumps to go.

Three Floor are known for their unique flair and quirky reiterations on dresses. This one is in a midnight blue colour and features a long-sleeve detailed with lace. A deep V neckline and pale blue inserts with horizontal panels and a pleated skirt in navy, yellow and grey are also part of what make this dress stand out.

It’s a busy dress so I like how Rocsi paired it with nude accessories. Are you here for this look?

I’d wear Three Floor any day. This is cute! Get the dress for £170 here or browse other collections here.

Enjoy your day folks!

It’s Friday ABYers! How come Fridays at work always feels the longest though? Sheeesh! I have been feeling this week

sofar so I wanted to top if off with a fiercely colourful outfit of the day ;)You must know that crop tops have been in for the most part of the year. But yours truly hasn’t been spotted in one yet. I mean I do try to stick to a morning exercise routine most weeks but I am still not keen on flashing my not-yet washboard abs :/

Well, Gina of TeakAfrique was having none of that. She contacted me and wanted me to review one of their ankara designs. I knew I was in for a challenge when I opened the nicely wrapped gift package and found one midi skirt and two crop tops!

So I braced myself and…et voilà! What do you think of the results? Should I rock crop tops more often or quietly put that tummy away?

**Is it me or can I see a possible six pack peeking out???!! My Blogilates sessions have not been going to waste ;) You should check out Casey’s channel. The sweating is real, but muscle I must build!

I really love these pieces by Teak Afrique. It’s always a joy to own anything in African print. Plus I love yellow! The skirt has a skater silhouette and features an elasticated band and two wide front pockets . The top is in bralet form and I must say it fits true to size. It provides major support so I didn’t even need a bra! I’m wearing a UK size 8 for both items. That is about a US 4.

The warm temperatures are on and off but when they are on they go strong! So I will be getting a lot of wear out my ankara bralet and matching skirt. Thanks Ayamo Gina and the rest of the team at TeakAfrique. Purchase this set from here. Browse other Teak Afrique items on their Etsy shop here.

The second top is a backless tie top. It is a light blue colour and I loved this pairing!

Little black dresses are a must have but it’s so easy to get lost in the crowd wearing one. It takes great styling and confidence to stand out in a LBD. Emmy Rossum did just that! She attended the LA première of ‘You’re Not You’ in Altuzarra‘s reiteration of a little hot black dress. The £1,315 Angelina Holiday Dress features a sexy side slit, fitted crepe silhouette with velvet sleeves.

The brunette bombshell accessorized with strappy sandals and Chopard diamonds. Her sleek hair and vampy red lips gave me life. Yes Emmy! She’s not on my new style crush list for no reason. She nailed this.

Did you love this ensemble?

Beyonce and husband Jay-Z were spotted leaving the Frieze Art Fair in London. She rocked a £3,100 Saint Laurent Perfecto Laether Biker Jacket on top of a printed silk blouse and polka dot skirt. I love the mix of prints and the way the leather jacket is giving a hard edge to this feminine pieces. A pair of Christian Louboutin pumps finished off her look. I am digging that vampy perfect-for-Autumn lipstick too ;) Are you feeling this fringe weave though?

Bey is feeling her fringe man! She don’t know what y’all are talking about but this hair is the bomb! What do you think?

Do you love the pairing? I love the first look. She nailed a great Autumn evening meal look. What think you?

Nicole Richie’s hot new show ‘Candidly Nicole’ premiers soon so she’s been busy doing promos for the reality show. For her appearance on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’, Nicole looked sophisticated in a sleek SAFiYAA Fall 2014 suit with velvet lapels and inserts on the trousers.A Bec & Bridge navy turtleneck top was tucked into her matching trousers which featured inserts.These £425 wine-hued Jimmy Choo ‘Ari’ pumps just iced the cake of this look. Talk about hot! Perfect autumnal hue.

For her appearance at ‘The View’, she opted for an emerald green high-neck top and chevron-striped black and gold trousers from Blumarine’s Fall 2014 collection. Classic black pumps and sleeked grey locks complemented her look. She gets it!

Nicole looked flawless both times. Both looks are very clean and well-tailored but if I had to absolutely pick one, I’d go for the navy blue suit. She’s in #BossLady mode in that outfit ;) And those burgundy shoes…I’ll be darned.

Which look would you wear?

Her shoes are by Tom Ford but I am yet to find that dress on any Chanel recent collections. While I am still looking I would like to declare this look HOT! She nailed it. Very grown up for a 22 year old. I love!

Hey there my beautiful ABY readers! I’ve had a super busy weekend! Mathew’s birthday was on Friday so we had a little birthday dinner outing with his family on Saturday ;) For the lovely meal out, I decided to wear pink. The lovely Adeline Sede of Fabafriq Magazine asked all Cameroonian bloggers to wear pink for Cancer so I decided to take the opportunity and honour the cause while I was at it. These fuchsia trousers are the pinkest item in my closet. I just realised for someone who loves pink so much I literally have nothing in the colour! Well I paired it with this cami top in blush pink and my new favourite heels, et voila! It’s been cold AF lately so I added a bold red coat. What do you make of my pairing? Do red and pink really go together or is it all too garish?

Coat – Zara (old) (similar here)

Blush Pink cami top – Asos (similar here)

Shoes – Christian Louboutin Cabo 120 Pumps

Hair - Cambodian curly hair by HairbyFarlon

Rihanna attended the amfAR LA Inspiration Gala honouring Tom Ford held at Milk Studios on Wednesday (October 29) in Hollywood, California. Rihanna offered us sheer sexiness in a Tom Ford Spring 2015 white gown featuring cut-outs, a thigh-high slit and a sheer bodice with purple embellishments covering her lady bits.

Riri does unapologetic sex appeal goodness like none other and I’m loving it. That orange lip pops and she’s giving face for days. Tom Ford id not for the faint-hearted and Rih is definitely not faint-hearted! She gets a Haute! from me. How aboutchu?

Is this look for you or are you saying no to Rihanna’s foolery?

Happy November! WUT! The year is almost gone. That went by really fast. I was still getting around to sorting out some of my 2014 New Year Resolutions and now I’ll have to be drafting new ones for 2015 ;( Is it possible to save save ‘crazy amounts’, try about 4 new hairstyles and colours, finish my book (happens every year now), make my blog ‘explode’, go away for a few weeks, find the time to visit long-promised friends and family, run more often etc in ONE month?

Where does the time go? What have I been doing? Well, watching Vampire Diaries and the Originals I guess. Awww Lawd.

Am I the only who feels that at the beginning of the year everything is just dragging and super slow and you feel like you’ve LOADs of time to tick things of your ‘TO-DO’ list? And by the end of the year you realise you’ve still more than half of that list to cross off and suddenly December is in a rush to get here! While I’m still trying to meet up with my list I am more than grateful and thankful that God has seen me through a lot this year. I got married <3 and I so wanted to open my online outlet and that has come to effect. Thanks for in flow of support so far! Did you have a lot to do in this year? How much have you done? Well, whatever bulk is left do not sweat it. As long as we breathe there is HOPE. Where there’s hope there’s a WILL. And where there’s a will, there’s a WAY ;)

I’ve been feeling rock n’ roll lately so this weekend I donned on a cute shirt, leather pants and popping blue heels for effect! This beautiful printed piece can be worn as a shirt or dress but the temperatures have plummeted like mad and I decided to pair them with PU trousers. Loving strappy sandals lately and these blue beauties did just the trick I was going for.

How would you wear this shirt dress?

PU Leather Trousers – H&M (similar pair)

Blue Strappy Sandals – Similar Aldo pair on ASOS

Studded clutch – Old from London boutique (similar here)

Lipstick – Mac Heroine

I tucked in the top initially but untucked it later. I think I prefer it not tucked. Which works best?

Have a lovely week peoples.

Smooches

Rihanna is a style chameleon. She wears everything and rocks it to perfection. She channelled Olivia Pope during her visit to the White House in a £640 Barbara layered-shirt printed dress by Stella Jean. Stella Jean is a designer of Italian and Haitien descent so her designs and prints draw from her heritage. The use of these Haitian fabrics remind me so strongly of our African ankara fabric. Fabulousity!

Riri paired the printed dress with Manolo Blahnik Chaos Sandals and a black handbag. Pedicure was snatched!

Riri’s captions for these pics are hilarious ;)

“CYRUS!!! LET ME IN!!” #DayAtTheWhiteHouse

“Fitz, darling…”

#heyAbby

West Wing Posse!! We wanna be O.P.A. so bad!!! #DayAtTheWhiteHouse

And this why she was missed on Instagram! Love the dress? Get it on Matches Fashion.

Beyonce affirmed that her ass is the least of her worries by posting provocative snaps of herself on Tumblr rocking a £80 99 Problems Shirt Dress by Laundry Room. The grey shirt dress was customised for Bey into a swimsuit. I can also tell she is snatching it from behind so it looks very fitted. It’s obvious that the shirt dress will sell out in minutes. Grab yours if you love it while you can!

Do you love this? From my angle Queen Bey is looking all kinds of snatched! That body though.

The sizzling boots are made out of lambskin and have a metal keyhole opening at the back with a gold zip opening.

Smooth! Knock off one zero and I’d get them! Keke has been feeling this crop cut hasn’t she? I love the look even though I had to squint to avoid seeing that nipple piercing -_- Keep it together Akeelah.

She suited up in an Altuzarra Spring 2015 skirt suit in a baby pink and white gingham print. Altuzarra ‘Cocco’ sandals in blush pink and her usual layer of jewellery and diamonds finished her look.

I love this in Riri! That wine berry lip she is rocking is the ish!
