Nabil Nayal; The Library presentation

This presentation was all shades of awesome. Loved it so much.

For his Spring summer19 debut at London fashion week, Nabil Nayal, becomes the first designer to host his presentation at the British library on the official London fashion week schedule.

His love for the classic white shirt is further redefined, the shirt- form offers a putitan back drop that white washes the complex hand cur embellishments made of bonded poplins and Marcella. Cape like silhouettes are synched , heightening drama as dark taffetas erupt into skirts and sleeves.

Gayeon Lee ; A Presentation

When I received the invitation for Gayeon Lee’s London fashion week presentation, I was excited to see that there were going to have dancers and i wondered how the presentation would be.

It really was amazing and dreamy with ballet dancers doing this routine while the models walked, such a calm and transcending scene.

I really loves the shoes and the details on some of the garments.

To see more of Gayeon Lee ,head on to their Instagram.

Do you love this collection? Please share your thoughts.

DeWe DeWe Woman

I recently came across an Asian women’s luxury brand that creates such beautiful garments for women of all age and color.

Each piece has been carefully made with the best of fabric, detail and cuts, elements that would make you not sleep well at night if you don’t own one of these verstile and timeless pieces.

This was how I felt when I saw the DeWe DeWe garments. They are so luxe, and breathtaking.

I personally love clothes that are timeless, where you can wear them multiple times in different ways and they make you feel so beautiful and powerful.

I really do hope DeWe DeWe will come into the Nigerian fashion market as they sure have what we need.

See some of their new spring summer 2019 collection which just featured for the first time during London fashion week.

To see more of DeWe DeWe please go to their Instagram page to see more.

Would you wear their pieces? Do let me know your thoughts.

A blogger’s guide to famous Instagram spots in London

Instagram spots in London_mayreejay

London has always been on my raider to visit all the amazing places it has, from cafes to iconic buildings, famous Instagram spots and loads of hidden gems.

It is definitely a blogger’s delight and I highly recommend that you plan to visit and experience all the goodies the beautiful city has to offer.

I made plans with London based fashion and lifestyle blogger @metrogypsie to go see some of the most “instragrammable” spots in London, call it the first series as we plan to visit new places yet again.

First stop was the famous farm girl cafe located in Notting hill, it is amazing Australian style cafe and they serve an amazing array of coffee, from there we moved to explore the beautiful colored houses in Notting hill, and then move to Harrods, and then to the famous Peggy Porschen’s Cakestore, and we ended the day at the much talked about beautiful Neal’s Yard just at convent garden.

To say we had such an amazing, fun filled day will be an understatement. we sure can’t wait to do it again.
