Who says mothers can’t be super glamorous and look effortlessly beautiful even while nursing their baby.

Bellanaija.com, spotlight p imagery, and my self teamed up to organize a series of photo shoots to celebrate some beautiful mothers for mother’s day.

To see their eyes glow and beam with joy at the final outcome of their looks, meant so much more than words can say.

Fashion week styling for O’milua

 

 

It was such an amazing experience yet again as i got to work with the very eccentric Nigerian fashion brand Omilua for her spring-summer 2018 collection shown at the 2017 edition of the Lagos fashion and design week.

This very colorful collection featured this seasons trends, from blue, tangerine, red, canary yellow, to mention a few. it also had ruffles, gingham patterned, prints, mesh socks, stripes, and over the top hair bow accessories. I loved the interpretation of African and Cuban Spanish theme going on.

Grace Jones : The re-incarnation

 

Who does not love the style icon, Grace Jones?

I have always wanted to restyle a photo shoot of the icon and when that opportunity came, i didn’t hesitate to cease it.

This is my reincarnation of the icon through my eyes.

It is always a dream for every fashion stylist to work with A-list celebrities in their industry, it is a very big deal.

When i got the call to style the sensational Genevieve Nnaji, i was so ecstatic and excited to know what the theme was for an edition of Y Naija magazine. I also got to work with renowned A-list photographer Kelechi Amadi – Obi was surreal, he made the shoot so easy and smooth.

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.
