This is my first blog post, yasss my loves... it begins a with a quick translation of the word Fàáji. Fàáji is an urban expression often used by the Yourabs, meaning enjoyment. The Urban Dictionary Online describes perfectly


"a type of late evening boozy dinner party with a distinctively West African cultural flair.."


Oh, if you haven't guessed it yet this is also a quick look & OOTD post lovingly put together over the weekend for an all white birthday dinner affair. A little Fàáji on the outskirts of London.

(I see you inner dress strap. Peeka boo to you too)


At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, as you already can tell by my bio and blog title, I love make. Period! (and that's an understatement of the millennium 🤔..), and as for fashion and I, am no fashionista, but I'm pretty content with my individual style ... so far so good.



Now let's talk about my outfit.

( Oh, and quickly address the offending reinforcement strap that just had to make an appearance - #Rollingmyeyes ... Life happens, still couldn't help but post this pic though).


So this cute little White Skater dress with floral necklace detail by Zibi London (from ASOS) and White Double Breasted Tuxedo Jacket from River Island.

I also had on a pair of rose gold court heels and disc and triangle detail earnings in rose gold.

How else can one spice up an all white ensemble?


Now for the tea on my makeup look.
