I love denim. We can all agree that a pair of jeans is life in your closet. You can style it for all occasions. This year is all about denim in different forms. Accessories, jewelry, shoes, skirts, dresses, all-around denim vibes. So, if you don’t want to have FOMO, get you some denim outfits.

I will be linking some of my favorites below.

Cute denim outfits

Below are stylish ways to put your denim outfits to good use.

1. Denim Jackets

Everyone needs a denim jacket, including you! You might stick to the regular denim jean color, or even spice it up by getting denim jackets in different colors.

The beauty of a denim jacket is that it pairs perfectly with any outfit you’re wearing. This way, you do not need to bother about limitations in your dress sense. Instead, your denim jacket will serve as a highlight that makes your outfit better.

It also doesn’t select when it comes to footwear. You can decide to rock a long or short-sleeved denim jacket, depending on your preference. A denim jacket is an outfit that keeps on giving!

2. Denim Trousers

I don’t think I need to speak much on this as I doubt there is anyone who doesn’t own a pair of denim trousers. This outfit is one of the simplest outfits you will ever own and it is also easy to style! Denim trouser goes perfectly with almost any top you can imagine.

So, if you need no-brainer cute denim outfits for all occasions, wear denim pants.

On days when you’re going for a simple style or you feel lazy to dress up, denim trousers will always be there to your rescue. All you need to do is pick the perfect top depending on the occasion or your mood, and you’re good to go.

Cute Denim outfits
3. Denim Dresses

Yes, there are denim dresses, and they feel you look as cute as ever! For me, I’ll always opt for a fitted option when it comes to a denim dress so it can bring out my curves. I’ve also noticed that fitted denim dresses are better fashion-wise. However, you can still go for a flared option if that is your preference.

Denim dresses are one of my favorite cute denim outfits I highly recommend to try out right now. So, if don’t have a denim dress, I will link my favorites below.

I’ll describe denim dresses as chic and effortless. It is your perfect choice for a casual hangout as you end up looking chic and stylish.

I’ve also come across denim shirt dresses, and you can go the extra mile by playing around with accessories to get the best look. For example, you can pair it with a statement necklace and a fancy fashion belt.

4. Denim Rompers

Are you looking for what to wear to your next beach hangout? A denim romper is the perfect choice.

Typically, people would think of a romper when going to the beach or a casual setting. But, how many people will think of a denim romper? If you want to look unique and stand out, you should opt for this option.

I love denim rompers because they are trendy and leave me looking extra cute. I also love how easy it is to pair them with fashion accessories like a fedora hat, sunglasses, and totes bag. I can never stop admiring myself when I wear this outfit.

5. Denim Culottes

If you’re fashion brave and edgy, I’ll recommend having denim culottes in your wardrobe. It is not the everyday outfit you see people wearing. Therefore, you’re sure to stand out from the crowd!

I wouldn’t say that I have lots of culottes, but you’ll always find me admiring people who wear them. I would say that a denim culotte is a fashion-forward outfit.

You should rock it with a tucked-in top that may be plain or flowery. Your footwear may be boots, heels, sneakers, or sandals. And, don’t forget your sunglasses once you’re dressed!

It gives you a comfortable and sophisticated look.

6. Denim Skirts

I find it interesting that there are denim skirts of all lengths. I would personally say you should have both mini and maxi denim skirts in your wardrobe!

A denim skirt is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Pair it with a cool graphic tee and sneakers for a trendy and youthful outfit. For a dressier look, swap the sneakers for ankle boots and add a leather jacket.

For a bohemian-inspired look, try a denim maxi skirt paired with a crop top. This combination exudes a carefree and effortless vibe. I’m sure you must have seen this look on many fashion-alter-inclined individuals.

Denim Outfit ideas
7. Denim Chokers

I can see the side eye you’re giving me for this option, but I had to add it to the denim! A denim choker is everything you need and more!

These chokers were the rave back in the day, and they are slowly coming back into vogue. It is always a different kind of vibe when you rock a denim choker. The best part is that these chokers go well with any outfit you are wearing.

So, the same way you shop for clothes for your wardrobe should be the same way you shop for denim chokers and add to your accessory collection.

8. Denim Shorts

There is nothing else you need to kickstart the summer than your denim shorts. It could be regular denim shorts or high-waisted denim shorts. I’m a little bit biased towards high-waisted denim shorts and believe that there are a must-have as it leaves you looking heavenly. 

They accentuate your waistline and give a flattering silhouette. Pair them with a trendy crop top and accessorize with a statement belt and sunglasses for a fun and flirty ensemble.

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m all about showing off my legs, especially during the summer. After all, I need an outfit that leaves me cool and denim shorts are perfect for the job.

9. Denim Jumpsuits

Another of my best cute denim outfits is Denim Jumpsuit. I’m a big lover of jumpsuits, including denim jumpsuits. Whenever I try to recommend this outfit to people, they ask if it can be worn to the office or an official setting. Why not?

Of course, you can wear a denim jumpsuit to the office! For official occasions, you should pair the outfit with heels while sneakers would be the perfect footwear for a casual setting.

I love how this outfit is always comfortable but makes a fashion statement. Whenever I do not feel like putting in much effort but still want to make heads turn, you’d find me picking a denim jumpsuit as my outfit of the day.

A denim jumpsuit is a fashionable one-piece that is both comfortable and stylish. It’s an effortless outfit choice that can be dressed up with heels and statement jewelry or dressed down with sneakers and a crossbody bag. The jumpsuit itself makes a statement, so minimal accessories are all you need.

10. Denim Accessories

To round out the denim outfit ideas, you need denim accessories right now. I have a nice denim handbag that I am so in love with.

Other options for denim accessories are denim caps or bucket hats. Also, you can wear denim hoops, denim bangles, or denim earrings. I am fascinated by denim hoops. It is up my alley and perfects for my style. Looking to invest in a good pair soonest.

Feel free to comment on other denim outfits you’re loving right now. Are there other latest fashion trends you want me to talk about, let me know in the comments.

A year without traveling or exploring makes me feel like I am not living. Two years ago, I just decided to explore more of Nigeria. So I gathered some of these tips to find budget friendly hotels in Nigeria that I know you will find handy.

Take me back to Ilorin, if you’ve never been there, check out these fun things to do in Kwara state. Ilorin is a very peaceful city. I served in Kwara state Nigeria. So I add to revisit Ilorin City to explore it. I stayed at one of the best hotels I ever seen in my life.

Princess luxury hotel was life. Found them on Airbnb and it was worth every penny. The flip side of my hotel hopping story is Palm view manor hotel, Lagos.

Have you been scammed before? This hotel is a big scam, avoid it t all costs. I saw great pictures online of this hotel. So, it was a no-brainer to get this hotel for my holiday and content creation.

It was a classic example of what I ordered vs what I got. Everything online is non-existent in this hotel. And the reviews are so old and positive. This hotel is basically still standing in its old glory. Discard what you see about them, it is now in a terrible state.

This is why I have decided to share my tips on how to find budget friendly hotels in Nigeria and of course, avoid scams like Palm view manor

Tips to find budget friendly hotels in Nigeria

Accommodation costs add up to the bottom line cost of traveling. If you can, go for hotel alternatives like staying with family, hosts, friends, or religious homes.

But if these other options are not available to you, you have no choice but to book a hotel. I will be linking some budget friendly hotels in Nigeria you could check out too.

Book it online

I know it may sound cheesy that I recommend booking hotels online after my experience with palm view manor hotel. Most online platforms allow you to pre-book and opt to pay at the hotel.

This option, I highly recommend this because you get to view the hotel property on a visit before making payment. Another hotel that I have stayed at is the La Casabella Hotel, Cotonou. I love the aesthetic. Also, you get a free basket or you can choose to make your own meals in the kitchen.

We didn’t plan to cook during our stay. They have a functional kitchen you can use. Most guests just order the food made in the guest house because it is budget friendly. Click here to read all about my stay at the Republic of Benin.

After my terrible experience with Palm view manor, I booked Villa 33 hotel last minute. We got there and we paid the price we found online. The receptionist told us that if we had not pre-booked it online, we would have paid an extra 5k. So, my top tip to find budget friendly hotels in Nigeria is to book it first online.

Hotels in Nigeria
Search for hotel deals using Trivago

You can get the best hotel deals from search engines like Trivago.com. This brand I highly recommend when searching for budget friendly hotels in Nigeria or anywhere in the world.

They always show recommendations of hotels from the cheapest to the most expensive. So, take your time surfing the options. My pro tip is to check the hotels one by one. Looking at the amenities that suit your needs. Nearness to the places you want to explore or a side attraction.

I am always drawn to hotels with pools which is why I opted for palm view manor initially which turned out to be a hard miss. Want to book a stay in Nigeria, click here to book it on Trivago.com.

Check the prices with the hotels

Another pro tip is to check in with the hotels to compare prices or the hotel websites. Although, I would not recommend looking up a hotel online in Nigeria because most will deny the prices.

Either they will say it is the old price or they don’t use the website anymore. Anyway, you can call in and may negotiate better hotel stay prices.

Book early

Remember I spoke about my experience at La Casabella Hotel. Well on my visit, I was told the prices have gone up. That is what I booked online was cheaper than what I paid at the hotel.

The receptionist said that if I had paid online, then I will not have to pay extra. Anyways, we negotiated for a lesser price eventually compared to the new hike in price for their hotel.

So, I highly recommend if possible that you book it and pay. You get cheaper rates that way.

Opt for hotels that have option to cancel.

There are times you have booked your hotel but prices may drop due to slow seasons and whatnot. If you book hotels with free cancellation or a clearly stated cancellation policy, you can choose to opt out at any time.

So, if there is a price drop or a better rate, all you need is to cancel and book at a cheaper rate.

All in all, whether you book early, book online, or walk into the hotel. Check out the hotel on your visit to be sure you want it. If you’re skeptical because of scams like Palm view manor hotel, don’t pay online. Opt to pay at the hotel, that way you see what you’re paying for.

Negotiate prices with the staff. You may find that removing the breakfast option can save you some money. This way you get to eat outside the hotel at a more affordable rate.

Feel free to comment on other tips for booking budget friendly hotels in Nigeria. Share your experience while traveling or other travel scams you have almost fallen for.

Have you been shopping thrift? Guys, don’t sleep on thrift. I recently got a Naked brand of white jeans from one of the best online thrift stores in Nigeria. So, you see why you need to shop for thrift clothes.

As a budget babe, I have a mixture of fast fashion, Thrift, and high-end items in my closet. However, to get budget-friendly clothes, I highly recommend thrifts. Are you new to Thrift or Bend down Select, don’t worry, check out my post on Pro-tips or guide to scoring good thrift items.

Thrifting from the local stores is super stressful for me. Also, you need to have cash handy if you want to shop thrift. This is because you may find some goodies while passing through a thrift stand. If you’re in Lagos, I have shared some of my best places to shop for thrift clothes. Do check them out.

Not in Lagos, I also got you. I have explored several places in Nigeria inclusive of their thrift stores/Markets. If you’re in Ibadan, check out the Bodija market for good thrift clothes and handbags. Abeokuta has several places to shop for thrift clothes.

You can check out Kuto market, Lafenwa ( though I find this place stressful), Panseke ( Love them for the cardigans) etc. Check out other places to shop for thrift in your locality. Have plans to explore Nigeria too, add these most beautiful places to visit in Nigeria.

I am very much indecisive when shopping. Also, I find the process of bend down select stressful. So, the option I love to shop for thrift is via Instagram or online thrift stores in Nigeria.

Best Online thrift stores in Nigeria

Below are some of my favorite online thrift stores in Nigeria to shop. These thrift stores offer good quality fashion pieces. Although, I am yet to find a thrift store for accessories like shoes and handbags. If you know any, kindly leave a comment below.

1. Nandra

Nandra is one of my best online thrift stores in Nigeria to shop for clothes. I love their range of prints and outfits in dresses. You can shop for casual and wedding guest dresses from Nandra.

My favorite jumpsuit that I wore to Abeokuta is from Nandra. I still have my eyes on one of the dresses. They deliver nationwide. You can shop for this brand either from Instagram or from their website. Shipping fees depend on your location.

2. The budget Outlet

This is one of the best Instagram thrift stores in Nigeria perfect for work clothes for women. If you have been an ardent follower of this blog, you know that I have a regular day job.

Want to know how I balance my day job and blogging, check out this post. Shopping for work clothes abroad can be pricey. Not because the items are expensive but the shipping fee to Nigeria. I have a hack for this that is budget-friendly.

I shop during the sales and in bulk from a particular store. Then ship it down to Nigeria. Wondering how to shop from abroad and ship to Nigeria, check out this post.

Anyways, then I found the budget outlet on Instagram. I have been stalking this brand ever since. My best purchase so far is this sweetheart neckline dress. You can dress it up with several belt colors or colorful accessories. Love this dress a lot.

So, I highly recommend you check them out for budget-friendly dresses, pant suits, skirt set sets, vest,s etc. Anything workwear for women, the budget outlet is my plug.

Online thrift stores in Nigeria
3. The discount store ( formerly buy okirika)

Okay, this brand sells pre-loved items that are a little on the high side. I saw a review about this brand that you will spend all your money if you visit her store. Girl, it’s true.

Although, I have visited the store. I couldn’t decide what I needed on her online store. There was so much to shop for. My favorite item so far from this brand is this denim handbag. Although I am pained that it is not a pre-loved coach designer handbag. Who was I kidding though? The price I got the bag is a far cry from a coach bag.

Anyways, I would have preferred it wasn’t labeled as that. I got two bags and some other stuff during the sales. She gifted me a smart collection of perfume which I find too masculine. Trust the boo to take it. And a water bottle, is cute right?

My tip, go on their website and stalk it. Shop during discount store ng the sales if possible for more savings.

Thrift stores in Lagos Nigeria
Trina Thrift store

For this store, it is a hit or miss. Make sure you look at the pictures and style of the outfit before getting it. I got a yellow dress from this brand that has no shape. And a beach outfit that I love and hate at the same time.

Why am still recommending this brand? Well, everything I have gotten so far is not a miss. I got a denim dress that I am so in love with. So, she deserves to be on this list. Apply my pro tips for shopping online while shopping for this Instagram brand in Nigeria.

If you can jump on the denim trends, she has some of the best denim skirts and pants you’d love. Check Trinathrift store out for all your casual outfits and going outwears.

1k Multipurpose shop

Remember earlier in this post that I found a gem while shopping at a thrift store. Girl, I love the denim skirt and pants that I recently got from this store.

This store is perfect if you’re just finding your personal style. She sells some of the best basics like T-shirts, skirts, bralettes, shorts, etc. I highly recommend her denim pieces.

She sells out some of the good stuff very fast. So you need to stalk her. To think this brand is in Calabar, I had no issues with my order. The items were delivered to my home. So, I didn’t have to stalk a bus to pick up my items. check out 1k multi-purpose on Instagram to shop their pieces.

Today, I’m here for the fashion girlies who might be confused about what should be part of their holiday packing list. I always tell people that what you pack can influence the mood for the holiday. Now the question is, what must be in my holiday box? 

With the excitement that comes with the holiday spirit, it would only be proper to pack the right travel essentials. Sometimes, the excitement gets you overwhelmed and you tend to forget some essential items. 

Trust me, being fashionable while on your trip is one of the best things you can do for your holiday. So, I’m writing this article as a reminder of your must-have packing list to stay chic and fabulous throughout your holiday. 

Holiday packing list

This fashion girl holiday packing list has gotten me through my years of travel. I never travel with these travel essentials for women.

A Pair of Comfortable Jeans 

How are you packing for a holiday with a pair of comfy jeans? The versatility of jeans cannot be overemphasized as you can wear them in many ways during the holiday. You can also pair them with any desired footwear to get your fashion funk on the way. All you need to do is to ensure that your jeans fit perfectly and you’re good to go!

A Pair of Sunglasses

I’ve never understood how people travel without a pair of sunglasses, especially when traveling during the summer! Sunglasses are the starter pack of any vacation! These sunglasses will protect your eyes, but they also make your face pop. 

One tip I have to share is that you go for chic sunglasses instead of regular ones. Also, ensure that your sunglasses fit your face.

Swimsuit

Are you really going on a vacation if you have not packed your swimsuit? A swimsuit is a must for any fashion girls’ holiday packing list! 

I’m not here to make recommendations as there are lots of stylish swimsuits out there. One thing about swimsuits is that they have a way of making you feel sexy and more confident. 

Don’t hold back from picking a swimsuit that flatters your body!

ZAFUL Women’s Tie Side Shiny O Ring Metal Hardware High Cut Tanga Bandeau Bikini Set Swimwear only $25.99

Jumpsuit 

For an effortless and stylish look, pack a jumpsuit! It’s no wonder that this is a personal favorite for me. 

It’s a one-piece wonder that requires minimal effort but makes a maximum impact. Choose a style that suits your body type and can be easily accessorized. As a plus, they do not take up so much space in the box.

Little Black Dress

I’d honestly be so surprised if there is any lady or girlie who doesn’t own a little black dress! Its versatile nature makes it a must-have for any fashionista. 

The beauty of a little black dress is always surreal as it leaves you looking simple but chic at all times. Interestingly, it can leave you looking dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.

Scarf

Cmon! Hope you’re not giving me a doubtful look while reading this. Of course, I would pack a scarf when going for a holiday as bad hair days wouldn’t take care of themselves!

There are times when bad hair days would want to ruin the fun, but a scarf comes in handy. I also love how it works as an accessory to give an uplift to outfits.

If you are still wondering why you need a scarf as part of your holiday packing list, learn more ways to wear scarves.

White T-Shirt

One of the commonest feelings bound to occur during a vacation is feeling like you have nothing to wear. You’re looking at your packed box but nothing seems right to wear at that moment. 

When in doubt, don’t hesitate to go for a white T-shirt. It pairs well with jeans, skirts, or shorts, you can also accessorize it with statement pieces as you deem fit. Basic T-shirts is a must have for my holiday packing list. So I have linked two colors that you need ASAP.

Statement Earrings

Talking about statement pieces, a statement earring is the one travel essential you must pack when going on a holiday. Even in times when you think you look casual, these statement earrings would add to your glam and cause heads to turn. If you’re looking to make a bold statement, these are the perfect items. 

A Jacket

There may be unexpected weather changes when you travel to a new place. It is why I always advise that there should be a jacket in your box. 

In addition, it adds an effortless cool factor to any outfit. So yes, it classifies as a stylish accessory for your outfit. 

Shorts

Wouldn’t you want to show off your legs while on holiday? If you travel during the summer, you’ve gotten the perfect excuse to flaunt those legs and give yourself a confidence boost. 

Shorts are perfect for places with a hot atmosphere. They are perfect for casual outings and leave you feeling good about yourself. 

What to pack for holiday

Tote Bag

I became a tote girlie some years ago and I’ve been hooked since then. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through the confusion of trying to fit their outfit with the perfect bag. It is why you need a tote bag as it is almost always a perfect fit. 

It also has space to contain all your essentials. What matters is that you choose a tote bag that is aesthetically pleasing. 

Statement Blouse

A blouse may not be the first thing on your mind when packing for a holiday. However, when paired perfectly, blouses have a way of transforming your style. 

Blouses are also versatile as you can style them with shorts, jeans, and even skirts. So, ensure that there is at least one statement blouse when packing for a holiday. 

Hat

There was a time when I never understood why people always wore those big hats. But soon, I realized that they come in handy as accessories. 

So, hats are dual-purpose while on a holiday. They help protect you from the sun and also add glam to any outfit, transforming you from regular to unique. 

Stylish Belt

Do you know the wonders you can do to your outfit when you add a belt? Here is no reason why any girlie shouldn’t own a stylish belt. 

It gives a fashionable touch to your outfits and leaves you looking classy. By just adding a belt, you can take your style from zero to a hundred. 

Maxi Dress

It’s time to look like a big aunty by rocking a maxi dress! These dresses require minimal effort which is why they’ve become a favorite for many people. 

They also have a way of making you feel more feminine while still being comfortable. Every lady needs a maxi dress, especially when going on holiday. 

Midi Skirt

As a girlie, you need outfits that would leave you feeling and looking more feminine. One of such outfits is a midi skirt. 

It is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. You can rock a midi skirt with almost any top you desire and it is also not selective of footwear. 

Statement Necklace

Your accessory set isn’t complete if you do not own and pack a statement necklace when going for a holiday. I don’t know how it happens, but a statement necklace would always elevate your outfit. 

It leaves you looking classy and stylish. It is also a way of getting constant compliments if you do not mind. 

Heels

As much as you desire to be comfortable, you need to pack at least one pair of heels when traveling for a holiday. You never can tell, you might get invited to a dinner or any event that requires you to wear heels. 

Heels also transform your regular-looking dresses. I am not a heel girls. However, you need a pair of heels for a day out partying, for a date, or for going out.

New to heels, check out my post on the ultimate guide to shopping heels.

Comfy Lounge Wear

You also need to pack something comfortable for relaxing in your hotel room. The idea of packing fashion items isn’t always for others to see. It’s also to leave you feeling good while on your trip. 

Choose soft fabrics and stylish designs to feel both comfortable and fashionable. I love loungewear, especially jogger sets. They are perfect work-from-home outfits. Also, perfect for Netflix and chill.

This Linen pants from Banana republic is so chic. Perfect for lounging and still good enough if you need to dash out.

Portable Steamer

To wrap it up, you need something that keeps your clothes wrinkle-free, which is why you must pack a portable steam. 

Time for a holiday? Grab your suitcase and let’s get packing! Other travel essentials for you to shop on Amazon are packing cubes, and travel bags, among others. Click here to check my Amazon store for travel essentials that I highly recommend.

What are eSIMS for travelers and do I need it? Just a little background story will explain this. I traveled to the Republic of Benin with my Sim card, with no plans to get the local Sims. Guess what?

I couldn’t locate my hotel. And of course no network connection. Sadly, I can barely speak French. How will I say WI-FI in French? Later found out it sounds the same way ( kind of whether French or English) . Thank God for a good samaritan who assisted us with getting a bike that knew our hotel.

Anyway, all those would have been averted with an Android device eSIM. Do you need an eSIM now?

eSIMS for travelers

What is an E-Sim?

An E-sim is as the word implies! The concept of owning a sim has moved past the era when we had to depend on physical sims. Now, you can have a sim that is installed into your device and can connect to any service provider that provides E-Sim services. How cool is that?

You might be wondering how this concerns you as a traveler and this is the part that gets me excited the most! Most times when I travel, I always have to get the sim of the country I’m visiting so I can be connected to the internet. It’s either I get a new sim or strategically position myself in places with Wifi. 

The positioning doesn’t always work as I get disconnected from the internet at times when I have to step out and explore the country. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to know the number of sims I have from other countries. 

But with the concept of E-Sims now, I do not have to keep buying new sims when I travel to new places. Instead, I can try to connect to service providers that provide ESim services in that country. So, my one sim will work wherever I visit!

Benefits of eSIMS for travelers

If you need more reasons to be convinced about getting an E-Sim, especially as a frequent traveler, some of them are: 

Saves Cost

I’m usually not the happiest when I have to buy a new sim anytime I’m in a new country. You’d always see me grumbling and squeezing myself. But buying these sims are always inevitable, especially as I want to stay connected to loved ones. 

Let me tell you, the price of getting a new sim and having it activated as a foreigner in a new country isn’t cheap. The money I spend on these new sims is something I would have rather spent on other tourist activities. 

There’s also the fact that I get charged for international roaming which is another expense. I’m overly happy that I can say goodbye to that era now. 

With the concept of eSims for travelers, I don’t have to spend money on buying physical sims anymore, and neither do you. Now, we get to save costs and use our money for other interesting things!

Convenience

As much as I try not to think about it, I sometimes cringe when I remember how I’ve lost or broken some of my sims in the process of swapping sims when I get to a new country. Dark times I must say. 

I would be more than happy if I never have to take out my sim because those things are very fragile. It’s one of the reasons why I preach the good news of E-Sims to every frequent traveler now.

You no longer have to deal with the inconvenience of swapping sims when you use an E-Sim! Now, you can relax and have peace of mind that your sim would work in any country you visit.  

Network Access

One of the beautiful things I found out about E-Sims is how they are not tied to a specific network operator. For example, if I use only Network A and own a physical sim, I would be stuck with that provider even when there is no network. 

But with an E-sim, I do not have to be stuck to any specific provider. The E-Sim would easily switch between available networks and select the one with the strongest signal strength or the most favorable data packages. This enhanced coverage ensures that you stay connected in areas where a particular network might have limited reach, providing you with a more reliable communication experience throughout your travels.

Runway shows are one of my favorite pastimes and hobbies to attend. Love to see the creativity and the latest fashion trends to wear. What do you wear to a fashion show even as a regular attendee? Here I will share some fashion show outfit ideas for your next runway show.

I love putting together outfits for fashion events or runway shows. The key for me is to be bold with your style. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your outfits.

Another tip is to accessorize your looks. A simple look can easily be elevated using fashion accessories. A hat can take your look from 0- 100 in seconds. My look for the day is in this post.

I went for a simple color blocking outfit. Color blocking is an effortless way to pull off bold and edgy looks. Pink and Green are one of my favorite ways to color-block your outfits. If you need more color-block outfit ideas, click here to watch my vlog.

Since my outfits were already the focus, I decided to go for a black pair of boots for an edgy yet model-off-duty look. This boot is a Prada designer dupe.

If you are an ardent subscriber, you know I love designer dupes. At least until we can afford the real deal. Here are some of the best designer dupe handbags that will dominate 2023 you should shop.

To complete the look, I added a print bag that more green colors on it from chicme. Chicme is one of my favorite brands to shop for casual outfits, travel clothes for women, and of course, handbags. I did a haul featuring this mini bag on the channel you should see.

Also, add a pair of earrings from chicme. I ate all the looks. Imagine being asked if I was a VIP to the event, lol. This a simple Fashion show outfit idea you can recreate.

Summer conversations with my friends lately have been epic as I’m hearing everyone’s swell plans of how they want to spend their summer. The first things to cross off your list when planning your trip are Airbnb rentals or hotels or hotel alternatives.

I love to stay in Airbnbs for my trips. You are much freer and can cook your own meals. Talk about home away from home. However, there are some warning signals or red flags that you need to know before booking an Airbnb.

Also, if this is your first time booking Airbnb, check out these tips to book Airbnb Rental.

During one of our summer plan conversations, something prompted me to ask my friends who were going on a vacation where they would be staying. As expected, I got different answers. However, a good number of them said they’d be going for an Airbnb rental. 

As someone who’s had her fair share of Airbnbs, let me share some tips with you about these rentals. Consider these tips as scopes to use when trying to pick your rental home. 

Best Airbnb Rentals

Airbnb Rentals Warning signals

My best experience at an Airbnb is in Cotonou, Benin Republic. It is a guest house with such a beautiful ambiance. On my return from my trip, I had to recreate some of the decorations in my bedroom. That is how much I love the Casabella guest house.

One of the tips to get the best Airbnb is to read reviews. The staffs were so helpful to me. Although, google translate came in handy. These best travel apps are what you need before you embark on a trip, thank me later.

Here are 10 red flags to avoid when you want to rent an Airbnb:

Ridiculously Low Prices

I always scoff when I see some Airbnbs offering ridiculously low prices. Typically one would say that they are trying to attract customers. However, if you are used to Airbnbs, you would have an idea of the standard charge. 

So, once the amount falls way below that amount, I begin to have second thoughts about the place. For them to be offering such low prices, it means that people are avoiding the rental for one reason or the other. It could be that they offer poor services or they are not even genuine. 

It’s easy to get carried away and think you’ve found a good deal. However, let your antennas be high as such low prices raise suspicion. 

Unsafe neighborhood

Before going ahead to book any Airbnb rental, make sure that you research the location. Now, your plan is to have fun and enjoy your trip. It wouldn’t happen if you stay in an unsafe place or a place where there is unrest. 

More often than not, it is your first time in that area. So, you wouldn’t want to have such a hectic and rough experience. Knowing how safe an area is is number one of my 30 travel tips when booking your trip. Come on it’s a vacation, not a time to deal with hoodlums, riff-raffs, and thieves.

You should do your due diligence in ensuring that the neighborhood is secure and gives peace of mind. You should only make payments once you’re sure of the area. Remember, safety should be one of your top priorities. 

No/ Negative Reviews

I always tell people that checking the reviews of a place or something you want to buy is important. Through reviews, you get to know the experiences of others and make an informed decision. 

I’m usually sketchy about places that do not have reviews at all. I know that people are always excited and willing to drop reviews about rentals that gave them a good experience. So, for a rental to have no review? It’s already a red flag. 

It gets worse when there are reviews but most of the reviews are negative. Once I see such, I start searching for a new place. The worst mistake you’d make is for you to think that your experience would be different at such a place. 

No clear cancellation policy

It may sound weird, but I’m always particular about the cancellation policy of any Airbnb rental I want to book. Life is very uncertain, especially when you go on a trip. It could be that you booked the place and eventually end up not traveling. Or, you got there and found a better offer. 

You should always read through the cancellation policy or any Airbnb rental and ensure that the terms and policies are clear. If you are unsure, call them and ask questions! 

If you notice that the policy highly favors the rental, you shouldn’t go ahead with the bookings. 

Vague description

I would expect to get comprehensive and clear information when I come across the listing of any Airbnb rental. You’d see me skipping when I see a listing that has only 2 lines of description. 

How do you expect to convince me with only two lines? 

Some people may say that I’m being extra, but it shows that the Airbnb rental isn’t willing to put in the effort. Then, how can I be sure that they would deliver the best services to me if I make the booking? 

I would advise that you go for a rental that has a comprehensive description of the place.

Delayed response time

How long does it take them to respond when you reach out to them? Of course, I’m not unrealistic to think that I would get a response within seconds or minutes. However, it starts becoming a red flag when I do not get a response after at least 12 hours. 

It shows that they are not as active and responsive as I would want them to be. If I eventually end up booking the Airbnb, what happens if I have a dire request? You may need information that will determine if you’d still go for a particular rental.

I had to cancel a booking because it doesn’t meet my needs. Then I eventually went for an apartment hotel which is close enough to what I needed. Jades’ hotel was fun and luxurious and the host was very responsive. That’s a good sign when booking Airbnb rentals.

I’d take it that they are not customer-centric, and move on to find a more responsive Airbnb rental. 

Hidden charges

It ticks me off badly when I notice that rentals are trying to sneak in additional charges. I expect that all charges should be highlighted from the get-go so that I know what I’m getting myself into. 

It begins to get sketchy when I see something online and you’re giving me a different price when I reach out. I’d take it that the Airbnb business is being deceptive and I would look for another option. Asides from hidden charges, another thing to look out for is high service fees.

Sometimes, Airbnb rentals may offer heap prices yet the service fees will bump up the prices. For that’s a red flag, why the huge service fees? Are you renovating the home before I come or giving me some value-added services?

Sometimes, you might even call and they begin to add charges and give me some fancy name. You need to be attentive to spot these hidden and additional charges. 

Unclear pictorial representation

From the visuals attached to the listing, I should be able to get a look and feel of the airbnb rental. It should be what would convince me to go ahead with the booking. So, it often doesn’t make sense to me when I come across places that have blurry and unclear pictures. 

Such places are big red flags for me. I believe that if you’re proud of what you have, you would showcase it. So, if the pictures are old or blurry, it shows that they are hiding something and not giving me a true representation of the place. 

Airbnbn Rentals warning Signals

Lack of amenities

There are certain basic amenities that should be in an Airbnb rental. For me, I have my standards for things I expect to see. If I don’t see these things, I’m on my way to look for another Airbnb option. 

Of course, I would not project my expectations on you. But, you have an idea of the amenities you desire to enjoy in an Airbnb. If you do not see these things in the listing, discontinue. I would advise that you do not try to compromise. After all, wouldn’t you want to get the best value for your money? 

Unclean environment

If I’m going to be spending money on an Airbnb rental, the least they can do is to ensure that it is clean. Once the space isn’t clean, it should be a red flag. 

These are the little things that matter to me and I ensure not to compromise on them when searching for an Airbnb rental. 

To book Airbnb Rentals or Home rentals, I highly recomend Trivago. Here you get to see various options and the best deals possible. Don’t forget to look out for these Airbnb Rentals warning signs before you click to book on Trivago.

Airbnb rentals: 10 warning signals to look out for in a rental home

 It is almost impossible to talk about top tourist destinations in Africa without mentioning safaris. The number of safari destination spots in Africa is so much that it’s easy to lose count. However, I have listed some of the best Safaris in Africa that are worth your time and money.

Have not planned a trip before? Check out my post on how to plan the best trip on a budget. Worried about how safe Africa is? Who doesn’t? with the rising insecurity, here are the safety tips you to know while exploring Africa, and yes it’s safe.

There was a time when I never used to pay attention to safari destinations in Africa. However, I began to realize that visiting a safari is one of the best ways to connect with nature in its true form. 

Nowadays, I’m always on the lookout for safari spots to visit whenever I’m in any African country. I used to think Safaris in Africa are in East or South Africa, boy was I so wrong? The Northern part of the Republic of Benin also has a Safari. This is the top of my bucket list of places to visit in Africa.

I’ve also noticed that it can be difficult making a choice from the numerous options of safari destinations to visit in Africa. It is also best to keep in mind that many of these places are not free to visit. Therefore, you would need to pay an entrance fee. 

This article would highlight some of the best safari destinations to visit in Africa when you’re on a budget. But first, let’s look at those things you need to have when going to a Safari.

Essential items to have when visiting a Safari

It could be that it’s your first time going to a Safari, or you may even be a regular. One thing about me is that I always like to be prepared when going anywhere. I’ve seen many of my friends complain about being uncomfortable when they visit a safari, and it is because they do not carry some essential items. 

Thus, some travel essential items to bring when visiting a safari in Africa are: 

1. Money

Let’s be realistic, most of these safaris require a gate fee before you can enter. Therefore, if you go there without money, it would be a waste of your time. Interestingly, the prices for non-locals are usually way higher. After all, the residents view the safari as one of their top tourist spots. 

It is always best to check and know the gate fee before going to any safari destination. 

2. Comfortable Clothing

As much as I love to be fashionable, I know that the safari isn’t a runaway. It isn’t a place to show off your latest clothing! 

Instead, you should wear comfortable travel clothes that let you move around freely. I would also advise that you wear clothes that cover your skin as the safari is a habitat for insects. It is also good to keep in mind that the atmosphere on a safari can be hot. So, you need to wear cool and neutral clothes. In addition, your shoes should also be comfortable and breathable. 

These may seem like little factors but they go a long way in ensuring you enjoy your safari visit. 

3. Water bottle 

A safari walk isn’t always the easiest, especially if you do not have a water bottle. Trust me, you would easily get dehydrated and it would weaken your energy level. If you want to get the best out of your safari trip, you must ensure that you never run out of water. Therefore, it is important to take along your water bottle. 

4. Sunscreen

I don’t know about you, but I always love to protect my skin! The fact that I’m visiting a safari does not mean that I should suffer sunburn.

It is why you would almost never see me go out without my sunscreen. It always wonders about the intensity of the sun on a safari. So, you need to have sunscreen to protect your skin! 

5. Binoculars and Camera

I would often say that you’re not a true tourist if you do not have a camera or binoculars! These things are part of the tourist starter pack!

A camera would help you capture images that you would hold dear for years to come. It could be pictures of the beautiful landscape or animals that you have never seen before. 

I remember seeing pictures my friend took when she visited a safari. These pictures prompted my decision to make my first safari trip. 

You also need to have binoculars as it helps you get a closer and better view of certain things. For example, you can get an upfront view of an animal that is far away. Sometimes, the tour guide might point out an animal in the distance, and it could be that it isn’t the right time to get close to that animal. In such a case, your binoculars would come in handy. 

You can get budget-friendly binoculars on Ali-express for a safari trip. I have linked it below.
