The Savvy Dial

I inspired my first product this past week on Dahlia Wolf! Yaayyy!! It's a comfy-looking black track pants with two bold vertical white stripes on the sides. It comes with drawstrings and a zipper along each side and can easily be dressed up or down. I'm loving how it looks on the models!

This gorgeous view of winter sunset was simply too hard to resist.

Scene-so-dreamy!

Did I mention, I'm so loving all kinds of prints this season? Here's an outfit I wore over the weekend.  I paired a printed pencil skirt with a basic white top and accessorized with pops of color on my lips and nails. Really simple. I love the balance of details!

 Hope everyone has a fun week!

There are a few items I find are essential to achieving a perfectly updated wardrobe each season. My favorite picks this fall include all kinds of prints, leather and some really good shoes to complement my ever-evolving personal style. Shopping here and there, I've found a couple of items I'm absolutely loving. Here's a preview into my fall wardrobe.

This past weekend, we celebrated my brother's engagement ceremony. It had a white theme with lots of good food, traditional music, family and close friends. I really enjoyed it and had so much fun learning new things about Ghanaian culture.

 Hubbity is my brand of fashion accessories that I started about a year and a half ago. Very recently, I have come out with a new collection of accessories and I'm super excited to share with you. This is a rather varied assortment of fun, simple, colorful and statement accessories. I consider it my favorite collection so far because not only is it elegant, but it also has lots of energy.

Since I do not want to give it all away here, you may want to check out the latest video and more updates about this collection via Hubbity's social media sites:

Months ago, I read a ton of good reviews about  a couple of books that everyone was recommending around the internet (or at least on the blogs I read). The list looked so interesting that I just couldn't wait to get my hands on these books, most of which were about fashion. I finally got my hands on them but have only completed reading just one: The Alchemist (by Paulo Coelho).

And although the purpose of this post is not to review the books I am reading, I thought to share my thoughts on them here with anyone who has similar reading interests. Let's start with the list of my holiday reads:

• Grace: A Memoir (by Grace Coddington)
•  Style (by Lauren Conrad)
•  The Great Gatsby (by F. Scott Fitzgerald) 
•  The Alchemist (by Paulo Coelho).

As we know, fashion books, apart from being informative, can also be attractive enough to serve as decor. These all qualify. I got Grace Coddington's book because "Well, who wouldn't want to know more about the Grace Coddington!" She is such an icon in fashion and so worth learning from. If you want to work in fashion or aspire to become something in the fashion industry, I think you should get her book too.
Style by Lauren Conrad and the Great Gatsby were also highly recommended books that I basically got out of my own insistent curiosity.. haha. Flipping through the book though, I found that "Style"isn't exactly what I was expecting it to be; a novel. It is rather full of fashion and beauty tips and tricks that every girl should know. "Oh well, that's still a win for me since I get to learn what I do not know yet!" I plan to read 'The Great Gatsby' before the movie comes out.

As for Modelland by Tyra Banks, I got it a while back and added it to this list because it is indeed a fascinating read once you get into it. Think of this book as the fashion version of Harry Potter. If you love magical books like that, you'll certainly love this one too.
The Alchemist is the only book I have read so far among my newest additions and I am absolutely in love with it. It is an amazing, easy read which gives you very vital and helpful life lessons in story form. I highly recommend this book to everyone, young and old. Get it, get it get it! It is one of the best books ever written and now one of my new favorites.

So I hope you found this post helpful. Do try to read some of the books for yourself. And if you have already, let me know how you found them.

Merry Christmas and happy reading!
