Folake Give Me Love Oh!

* @stylepantry @stylepantry @stylepantry*

I just LOOOOOVE Folake Kuye Huntoon's style!!! If there was any wardrobe I could raid, it sure as heck will be hers...no second thoughts on that. She pulls off just about ANY look so effortlessly.
And to cap it all up, babe is a 40 year old that has a body of a '25iver'. Plus she's got kids...three of 'em!

Every lady has a style icon, more like a string of them. It's just odd that I am yet to hear of anyone that has her on such list and that's partly cause not many people know who she is. And to think that her trend beats so many celebrities' hands down (you name them).

And here's just a few reasons why...

                                                                                                                                                                   

                   

                    

                         

                     

                     

                     

                     

                     

                     

                     

                     

                     

             

                     
     
                     

My bad. I just couldn't stop my fingers from taking so many screenshots. I would love to carry on if I could but then, my fingers hurt...

Fabulous though, isn't she? <3

OMGel!

FYI, I am going to be in touch with my feminine side just a wee bit today.

If anyone had told me 5 years before now that I will actually 'invest' in nail polish some day? Like really? NAIL POLISH? Come on mahn!

But then, here I was a couple of days ago ogling past a series of them and adding six (make that 'seven'- inclusive of the top coat) shades to my cart. But in my defense, this was not just any kind of polish. This was gel nail polish...sans the light!
I know I might be the last to know about it's existence but still, permit me to have a moment of giddiness.

If you think picking just the 'right' Miracle Gel by Sally Hansen is a cup of tea, think again. Cause they all seemed so RIGHT! *lovestruck*

Plus I can't help it that my fingernails and skin happen to blend well with just about any color.                   

                                 Just a liiiitle bit conceited about them. Just a lil'... #FingerFetish

The Beauty Geek who posted lots of swatches (Swatch. I had no idea what that word meant in relation to cosmetics either until five days ago. Apparently, a 'mani-pedi' dictionary exists) didn't help matters. Every shade made me 'oooh' and 'aaah'. Had to even call my 'colleague-turned-friend' over from her work desk to help me out of my dilemma. Yep. That serious.

And then, I FINALLY settled on these beauties:

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

Feels like donkey years since I had on black nail polish. This was definitely getting into my cart. 

My last choice (which took me like forever to make this particular decision) was a shade of green- S-teal The Show. It was a battle between that and Grey Matters.

Couldn't find a swatch of it though but it is pretty much the same shade as the first time I tried out gel nail polish and I loved it. That though needed the UV light thingy...and I paid quite the amount for my manicure that day.

     

I have still got my eyes on a whole lot more, but these two have captured my heart;

The Birthday Suit 

                                  

and Motley Hue.  

                                  

*sigh* So gorgeous.

Float Like A Butterfly...

As the saying goes, 'The young shall grow' and these four beautiful ladies am about to focus on here are true affirmations to this fact.

What really caught my attention was Saorise Ronan's gorgeous look on the red carpet during the 88th Academy Awards that held earlier this year.
And then the others kept popping into my mind one by one, Chloe Grace Moretz, Abigail Breslin and Dakota Fanning.

I had actually planned on posting this weeks ago but kept procrastinating. Then I was on SnapChat (@kikiuzowulu. No snaps yet. Still waiting for that perfect moment. It's somewhere in my to-do list)
surfing through stories on People account and came about the post on Chloe and Brooklyn Beckham's relationship. Yep. I take such 'signs' seriously.

Anyway, I did my research and got some of the best (in my opinion) childhood, red carpet/events and magazine shots of each of these young beauties.

And here they are...
