CHRIS BROWN IN LAGOS

Chris Brown had a concert in Nigeria just the other day, and these are the outfits that stood out to me.

I love that her jewellery is minimal and that she chose to be different but still look stylish.

Toke Makinwa ALWAYS looks stunning.

This is bravery at it's finest.

This is Urban, this is youthful, this goes with the event, this is beautiful.

Love the vintage feel to this, and love that she chose to wear shorts with the top.

It's a very simple outfit but I absolutely adore it.

Definitely my favourite outfit of the night.

This outfit upsets me because those shorts are breathtaking. I'm getting excited just thinking about how it could be styled. i'm not sure what is going on with her tights, shoes and jacket.

one of my faves of the night.

BARING IT ALL

WISH LIST

Tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la la la la laaaaaaa
Christmas is finally upon us which means SALES EVERYWHERE whoop whoop
Boxing day sales tips (for those in London)-

•  Sales have already begun online, check to see if they have what you want. If you don't get it in the size or colour you want, then go to the store.
• All year round, office always have online sales and a lot of the sale items are still full price in the stores.
• If you plan on going to Harrods or Selfridges, GO EARLY! and be ready to queue up for hours. It is not for the faint hearted.
• If you can't stand crowds and hate being pushed around, avoid Oxford Street at all costs. Better yet, stay home.

 I bring forth to you, my Christmas wish list and I finally watched the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, post coming soon.

1 SWEATER, 3 LOOKS

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in London, it's freezing and when i  do pluck up the courage to leave my house, I only ever want to wear sweaters. 

YES! you can wear a sweater to dinner.

i know taking pictures in the kitchen is a bit weird, but it's the brightest room in the house.

STREET STYLE: CAMDEN

I went to Cmden today in hopes of getting some street style shots but I was only able to get very few pictures.

 

I wore this ages ago but for some reason, only took this picture.

I have been very MIA because of the amount of work I have had but I am now on holiday and have all the time in the world for styledbydupe. I can't thank you guys enough for still checking the blog daily, I am very grateful. I am thinking of having a shoot this Christmas in London, one similar to THIS but better. if you have any ideas of a good location, want to model, take pictures etc (i don't pay) please email me (dupeadebowale@hotmail.co.uk) 

HEAVEN'S GOT A PLAN FOR YOU

I am sure by now, you have all heard about the shooting at the elementary school in Connecticut. It is very sad that something so tragic had to happen for Americas gun laws to become a world wide topic of discussion. 

May the souls of the departed rest in peace and oh Lord may their loved ones experience "a pause in their burdens. Let there be minutes where they experience peace,not of man but of angels" 

I found this poem online but I don't know who wrote it.

Please don't tell me you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost your child too,
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal,
Because that is just not true,
Please don't tell me my son is in a better place,
Though it is true, I want him here with me,
Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face,
Beyond today I cannot see,
Don't tell me it is time to move on,
Because I cannot,
Don't tell me to face the fact he is gone,
Because denial is something I can't stop,
Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had,
Because I wanted more,
Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad,
I'll never be as I was before,
What you can tell me is you will be here for me,
That you will listen when I talk of my child,
You can share with me my precious memories,
You can even cry with me for a while,
And please don't hesitate to say his name,
Because it is something I long to hear everyday,
Friend please realize that I can never be the same,
But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday.
