Happy New Month!
Hope you achieve a lot this month! There are a number of collaborations in the works for Tuke's Quest so keep your eyes peeled. I started a Facebook page for the blog last week so please like it if you haven't already.
I got an email from Grey sometime in February inviting me for a blogger event and I got pretty excited as I enjoy all these creative collaborations. It was a pretty interesting session, with Daks of Third World Profashional and Ez of Beauty in Lagos,they were really sweet and friendly :)
The hospitality at Grey was top notch too, Delicious cupcakes from Nuts about Cakes. I turned the Y to a T, T for Tuke, Oshey.
We were allowed to choose any piece from their latest collection to style and we were given gift cards too :) There was sooo much to choose from. I tried on quite a number of pieces and finally chose this versatile Red Jacquard two piece.
I wore it for a really great Pandora event on Sunday and I got many compliments :) (Blogpost about it coming soon) Someone actually thought it was a dress but it's a Peplum top tucked into a pencil skirt. It can be worn to church, work, a smart casual event and you can wear each piece separately too!
Fierce or Scary? |
Can you tell that I'm holding in a laugh |
Looking like a working class chic |
I absolutely love this print! |
This is my favourite picture :) |
This picture made me realise that the skirt had a slit, thus, it could have been worn front to back |
My hair has got a mind of it's own |
Cheesing so hard, you would think I was being tickled, hehe |

DeleteYour outfit looks amazing Tuke. I wish we had a lot of collaborations here in Abuja. We barely have weekends events so its hard to move around and get to meet other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilda
DeleteHmmm, I know a couple of bloggers in Abuja who have done some collaborations before. You should get in touch with them and plan something.
