If you haven’t heard of the cool iPhone App -Instagram, then we’re here to help you. It’s a really fun way to share pictures and edit your images will these really cool effects. Tobi and I have been on it for a few months now and we totally love it!

We’re starting a new series on SBQ called “Instagram Chronicles” where we share some of our Instagram fun here with you and you can also send in yours and we’ll put them up!

Here’s my first entry  from last night. I wore this outfit to my friend, Peter’s birthday dinner.

As some of our readers know, I’m (Kike) the in-house stylist for the Nigerian Fashion House -Lanre Da-Silva Ajayi. Being an in-house stylist is not just about styling the shoots, I’m also on the design team for the label which means I get to put forward ideas for the pieces; I  do a bit of Fashion Consultancy as well, at our shoots. I absolutely love my job and I love who I work with. It can be stressful sometimes, especially when time is not on our side but the end results make it all worth it. The latest collection “The Oriental Classics” is actually one of my favourites. There’s a nice mix of fabrics and the best thing about it is there’s something in it for everyone!

Recently, Studio 53 Extra paid the LDA studio a visit, to see how we were gearing up for Arise Fashion Week. I finally saw the clip today, so for everyone that has been asking, here it is!

The top I’m wearing is by LDA of course, LDA’s black dress (with the lace baby collar) is also by LDA.  My brooch? It’s my mother’s!

Love Always,

Hello Beautiful People! We know you’re probably upset at the lack of updates, we’re really sorry!

I (Kike) have been so busy with Arise Magazine Fashion Week. As you know, I work with Lanre Da-Silva Ajayi as a stylist and on her design team. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks but tomorrow, we celebrate!

I can’t wait till you guys see what we’ve been working on! She’s really bringing it hard this season.

Other than that, I’ve been busy with a bit of back ground work with the AMFW Daily Magazine and some backstage work. It’s been stressful but I’m so in love with fashion, it’s dangerous.

In the middle of all the chaos, I managed to do a bit of street style. Well, let’s just say, I got images of some of my favourite people . Enjoy!

Isoken, of O B S I D I A N, styled by L’espace. (She’s wearing a jacket by O B S I D I A N -Love!)

Wonu, co-founder of L’Espace, also styled by L’Espace, looking gorgeous! That red skirt is everything.

Ifeanyi, looking exceptionally dapper.

The night ended with performances by Davido and Naeto-C. All in all, it was a good Fashion Day, the only thing missing was Tobi!

Love Always,

I think you all know by now how much I adore statement necklaces. For me they can be an inexpensive way to cheer up an outfit. This necklace is my latest, from H&M Trend !

Black is my favourite colour. It just works with everything; it’s classic and it’s elegant (the latter depends on how it’s worn). Saturday was a good day, but also a “black” day. I was in a bit of weird mood -tomboy meets grunge meets “lady”.

My “gold chain” is actually a hair-band that I have now put to good use.

This post is dedicated to Whitney “The Voice” Houston. We will always, always love you. Sleep well xxx

I haven’t had a Saturday this busy since…. well, never! Yesterday, my friend Ronke got married and my other friend Leila turned 25.

I had plans to wear a particular dress to the wedding but the zipper popped (these things happen right?), so I had to run out to find an outfit. I decided to get the Silk Twist Wrap Dress from Tiffany Amber. This is a dress I had actually been saving up for, for a while and I decided this wedding was a good reason to finally get it.

I absolutely love, love, love, this dress. It’s so elegant and classy!

Look out for our next post with some of my favourite people from Saturday!

Love Always,

Kike & Tobi

A few weeks ago, Tobi gave you an insight into her daily routine (If you missed her post, check it out here), so here’s mine. I’m sorry this post is coming so late, but here goes…

6.45AM – Wake Up. I’d like to sit here and say I actually wake up at this time, but this is the time I turn on the “snooze” function on my alarm, so please read as 7.00AM. I’m usually in a rush to get out of the house. I tend to use very little make up during the week, mainly because it’s so hot here in Lagos, I’d rather not melt in the sun, so the less make up, the better.

7.30AM – Usually I’m dressed at this time. I spend the next few minutes packing my bag for school. I’m not really a breakfast person as I’m always in a rush.

7.45AM – I’m ready to leave the house as the Law School is a good half hour (with no traffic) from home. 

Driving to school is a challenge. If you’ve been to Lagos or you live here, you’ll understand the traffic situation and the general chaos on the roads but I love Lagos, this is what makes it, Lagos!

Today, I decided to get in touch with my “Inner Karl” (Karl Lagerfeld); I absolutely love this shirt from ASOS, the black buttons, the black button panel and the collar. Love!

8.45AM -Arrive at school. There was particularly a lot of traffic today, so it took me a whole hour to get to school. As soon as I find a seat near the window (cross ventilation), I set up for the day.

10.30AM -Class In Full Swing. By 10.30AM, my hair is already up in a pony tail as it’s very hot in the lecture hall.

12.30PM -Lunch Break. There’s never any time to rush out to grab even a quick lunch so I tend to hang out with my friends in the lecture hall. This is my “twin” Oyinkan. We keep each other sane in school.

3.00PM. Class Over. Today was a good day. We got dismissed before 4PM! Home time

Skirt -Zara, Shoes -Primark
