Emily in Paris Netflix series is a movie you need to add to your bucket list movie. If you’re a fashion lover, you really need to see this movie. I don’t really like to see Netflix series. (I can’t afford to spend so much on data). However, I love to follow through on series but Emily in Paris sold itself with the fashion outfits of the main character. Her ability to blend vibrant colors effortlessly is something that every fashion girl needs to know. So, if you love vibrant colors and need style inspiration take a cue from Emily’s outfit. After seeing this movie and loving her outfit, here is a round up list of Emily in Paris outfit ideas you need right now in your closet.
Floral print dress
Emily loves her florals as seen in some of the scene in the movie ; “Emily in Paris”. I love the off shoulder floral print dress she wore on one of her dates with Mindy. Also, her ability to blend colors is also seen as she wore a bright pink pump to complement the pastel pink on her dress. So, if you’re need inspiration on styling prints, definitely see this movie. You can also read my post on how to wear prints in 2020.
Normally, as a slim lady, I shy away from using belts on my outfits because well, I have a flat tummy. However, Emily was able to pull this off and makes it something I should do often for my outfit.

Shop the look: statement belt
Monochrome Green colors
Another outfit idea you need right now inspired by Emily in Paris movie is Monochrome Green outfit. When she moved to Paris, She had no one. Her only way to share her tales of Paris is via her instagram page: @emilyinParis.
Her page grew fast with time. So, she got invited to an influencer party where she went for a monochrome Green look. I used to think Monochrome looks can only be pulled off with Solid colors. However, Emily was able to style both solid green and check prints. This look you can re-create easily with outfit you may already have or shop them below.

Check Jacket and Berets
Check Jackets are an all time favorite for me. This is because of its subtle neutral prints and versatility. Emily was able to rock this jacket while add the evergreen beret trend for a pop of color to the look.
Also, from most of the scenes in this movie, Emily knows how to use accessories to complement her outfits. She was wearing berets, bucket hat or neckerchiefs’ to style her outfits.
Although, the Jacket she wore is super cute and we love. You can re-create this look with a check shacket which so on trend right now. So, you can shop for affordable shackets or over-sized Jackets for your wardrobe to pull off this look.

Shop the look: Check Jacket, Silk Square scarf.
Black Dress
A black dress is a wardrobe staple every lady needs in her closet. As the fact that it is easy to style, it is also stylish. Emily wore a black dress at least twice in the series. I love the black dress she wore to the ballet event to meet with a prominent Parisian designer in this movie.
Emily went for an all black look for this party. However, you can wear your black dress by adding a pop of color to your outfit. You wear a black dress with red bag or heel to add color to your look.

Maxi skirt
Another outfit idea you need right from Emily in Paris series is a maxi skirt. Maxi skirt is a staple wardrobe piece you need to own. It is super versatile and easy to style.
You can dress it up with heels like Emily in this series. Also, you can opt to wear your maxi skirt with sneakers. For a stylish look, you can also add a belt for slim waist just like Emily wore it.
Heels are a must-have for your fashion closet. Although, many of us shy away from wearing heels because of comfort. Me too, I’ll rather wear flats or sneakers than opt for heels. How do I buy the most comfortable heels for women in 2023? Where can I buy the best heels for women?
There are several types of heels to choose from depending on your level of comfort from as low as a few inches to sky-high heels. Heels have so much use, you can wear them for work, casual outings, date night or girl’s night out, etc.
This guide to buying the most comfortable heels for women plus a few best picks will come in handy for you. So, if you’re looking to start wearing heels or get back in the game, these tips will help guide you to make the right choice.
Guide to buying the most comfortable heels for women
Heels are a super stylish accessory you need in your closet. However, there are so many things to consider in order to buy the most comfortable heels for women for yourself. Also, there are two ways you can shop for heels for your closet; in-store or online.
In-store shopping for heels may be the most practical especially if you don’t have your shoe size. So, you can have a look at the options available in the store and try them out to see if it fits. You can also measure your feet to know your shoe size at a shoe store.
However, the cons are that you may not find what you want in a particular store. Also, price comparison may be impossible as some stores may sell the same brand higher or cheaper based on their own markup.
The second option which is online shopping for heels is how I do all my shopping for my fashion needs. I love the convenience and the options in terms of price and quality. However, this method is not for anyone who doesn’t know their shoe size.
Also, to shop for shoes you need to read the size chart on the website, return policies, and other customer reviews before you hit the checkout button. To get the best deals/ discount, you can add the honey chrome extension on your desktop or app. You can get discounts to use at check out or save items for later for a price drop.
Tips to note before buying heels
A good buy for heels is when you can’t get enough use of them. So, here are some things to know before you buy heels for your closet.
Do not buy heels in the morning: This may sound funny but our feet’ size changes throughout the day. In the mornings, our feet are slimmer unlike later in the day when it is tired and swollen. So, if you’re looking to shop for heels from a store, go later in the day after some of your activities for the day. This will give the perfect fit heel that is suitable for you.
Height of heels: Comfort is all that matters for heels. If you’re unable to walk in such heels, there is no need shopping it. You can shop for a few inches of heel, or opt for kitten heels or sky-high heels. So, make sure you check for the heel height before purchasing.
Choose the right size and fit: This I can’t over-emphasize. Don’t shop for heels that are too tight or bigger than your feet. A perfect-fitting heel makes it easier for you to walk in and style your outfit. I made the mistake of shopping for heels that is a size up which made my feet wobbly in them. I had to return it, thanks to the free return policy.
Types of heels to shop
There are several types of heels you can shop for in your closet. These heels are classified below based on their height and shape. So, if you looking to shop for heels, you need to choose the type you need as below. Some of these heels are perfect for all occasions while others are for some particular occasions. You need a pair of stiletto heels to party and pumps for work for example. Here are the types of heels you need Asap in your collection.
1. Kitten heels
One of the most comfortable heels for women to buy is a pair of Kitten heels. This type of heel is just a few inches high. It is very stylish and chic. You can wear kitten heels for work, or casual outings or pack them as a travel essential for women.
I love to wear kitten heels with maxi skirts or shirt dresses. Also, kittens are perfect for running errands due to their comfort. I will link below some kitten heels for you to shop for.
2. Stiletto heels
These types of heels are sky-high heels. They are stylish and make you look polished. Also, if you are looking for heels to add extra high to you, opt for a stiletto. Although they may not be the most comfortable heels to walk in, they have their purpose in your wardrobe. For a work party or a date, wear heels to dress up your outfit.
Most stilettos are within the range of 3-inch heels or 6-inch heels. However, for starters, I would recommend you go for 3-inch heels as the most comfortable heels for women.
My tip for wearing stiletto heels is to move around with a pair of slides to switch your heels. I do this always. So, after work or a party, change into slides (slippers) to allow your feet to relax after a long day.
Personally, I love strap stilettos because they are chic. You can also shop for stiletto pumps, sandals, etc.
3. Block heels
One of the most comfortable heels for women you need in your closet is a pair of block heels. Anyone can wear block heels without hassle. So, if you are new to heels, you can start off with block heels. They are easy to walk in and style.

Also, they are easy to walk in with little effort. Asides from work, you can wear pumps for all occasions, work, parties, dates, etc.

5 reasons you need shapewear.
There are several benefits to owning and wearing shapewear that you never thought mattered for your look. Let’s dive into the reasons you need to start collecting shapewear for your fashion closet Asap!
1. To smooth your outfit
Have you ever wished for the sleek body of your celebrity crush? Some of them look chic in their outfit because they wear shapewear in them. Shapewear helps to give your outfit a smooth feel on the body. That is it smoothes out your body so the outfit sits well on you.

2. Hide problem areas of your body
Being a woman, I sometimes worry about the changes the body has to go through as you age and give birth.

There are several options you can shop for your body needs. You can shop shapewear to suck in your tummy or to smooth out the thighs. Also, some shapewear is made to give your girls a lift ( serving cleavage). So, you look like a model in your outfits, anyway, anytime.

I always feel awkward when someone another lady has to whisper to me that my panty lines are for show. Omg! No lady likes visible panty lines showing in their outfit. It kinda makes people form an opinion about you which can be bad all the time. So, to erase these pant lines, opt for full-body shapewear.
4. Boost confidence
I am a firm believer that every woman is pretty whether plus-size or slim. So, I frown when other people body shame women for their body size or shape. Using shapewear in your clothes to smooth out problem areas can give a boost of confidence. We all know that a confident woman can achieve anything.

Airbnb is one of the best ways to get great and affordable stays for your travel. This brand has revamped the travel industry. Now, you can get the best apartment for your travel at an affordable price from the comfort of your home. Airbnb is an online brand that connects homeowners or home rental services with travelers. You can book a room or an entire apartment for your stay depending on your budget and your needs. But booking the best stay for your Airbnb travel can be quite dicey. Sometimes, most apartment experiences may not seem the way they look in pictures. I have not had had a bad experience using Airbnb for my travel. So, here are my 9 tips for booking Airbnb for travel as a first-timer
One the reasons I had put off most of my travels for the longest time is due to cost of accommodation. Aside the cost of transportation ( air, bus or train), food, tour, I try as much to keep the cost low on places to stay. So, I opt to visit places where I have a relative or friend that I can stay with. However, with Airbnb, you need not worry of where to stay. After sorting out your stay, you can read my post on travel essentials.
When should you book Airbnb?
There are several reason you need Airbnb. You can opt for Airbnb apartment for local and international travels. So, if you need to go for an examination in another city and you need place to stay, opt for Airbnb. There are several host that allows stay-in in their apartment for at least a day. So, you can book Airbnb for a short stay trip locally or internationally. You can stay in Airbnb for a few days vacation, family trip, business meeting or even a road trip with a short stop over.
Airbnb Apartment is a perfect option when you’re travelling in a large group. This makes it easier to get everyone in one place instead of different rooms as in the case of hotels with min of double beds. You can search for an Airbnb apartment that will take on as much guest that you want. All Airbnb host indicates the number of people their home or room can take at a time.
Also you are such that prefer to have home cooked meals. Opt for an Airbnb to enable you cook your own dishes. Moreover, since the pandemic, cooking your own meals is better than eating out. Cooking your meals also help you save on meals. Although, to have a feel of your locale you travel to, you need to try out the local dishes too. However, if you’re on a tight budget, cook your own meals to cut cost.
How to book an Airbnb Apartment?
Airbnb is an online brand so, you can only book for your apartment online. There are several options available to the host to determine how guest’s can use their apartment ( Request to book or instant booking). Personally, I have only experienced instant booking via Airbnb.
First, you need to type in the preferred location into the Airbnb search box. You can either filter by prices, nearby places or experience. There are so many apartment you can choose from on this website. If you find an apartment that you love, all you have to do is book.
Select your dates of stay and check availability on the site. If those dates are no longer available, you will have to choose other dates. And if changing your dates is not favorable for you, opt for another apartment that will suite your needs.
Airbnb accepts several payment methods like credit card, debit cards, prepaid card or PayPal. However, cash payment is not acceptable on this platform. Airbnb charges you as soon as you make a reservation. There is option to book and paylater.
9 Tips for booking Airbnb for travel
Choosing the best apartment for your stay will make your travel enjoyable and fun. So, to help you get the most out of your Airbnb stay, this tips will come in handy.
Look out for the Sparkle badge on host listing
The recent times demands us to take our hygiene personally. I have horror stories of some rooms looking so unkept. In other to put host on check, Airbnb has set up a 5 step guideline they have to follow to earn this badge.
So, to keep yourself save during these times, ensure you book rooms that has the sparkle badge. This shows that they comply with the Airbnb guidelines for safety and health.
Property type
There are several property for rental on Airbnb. So, before you book the property that suites you need. You can opt for a single room for solo travel or room with double bed for 2 guest. Also you can opt for large property for family trip. There are some listings that provides properties with several rooms for group trip. I used an Airbnb property recently that had about 3 blocks of flat in the compound. Each flat can contain at least 4 guest. So, if you find such property for a group trip, it will make it easier to have everyone in same compound. Property listing usually available on Airbnb include;
Entire place
Private rooms
Shared rooms
Hotel rooms: some hotels also list their rooms on Airbnb. So if you’d prefer hotels, you can book via Airbnb.
Filter with Amenities on property
Host on Airbnb do not provide all the amenities you may need for your travel. So, before you book your room, check for must-have amenities for your travel. For example if you’d be working during your stay you may need Wifi servies.
Also if you need to do your laundry, search for rooms with washer. Some facilities provided shared access to washer, ironing services and swimming pools. So, if you need private access these facilities, opt for listings with these services available. On my last hang out with my siblings to an Airbnb property, there was no iron available in the room. We had to use the shared iron available downstairs for the compound.
Get more information on the listing Neighbourhood
Another tip for booking Airbnb for your travel is to get to know the listing neighborhood. This is something I failed to do on my last Airbnb booking. It was a bumpy ride to the host apartment. Also, the location was far from the city’s side attractions. So, to access places like restaurants or parks, I had to spend a lot for transportation.
Before you book your listing for travel, ensure you look for apartments that are close to the city’s attraction. Also, listing with easy access to transport, market, restaurant, beaches or parks will help you reduce cost on your trip.
To make easy for me to book Airbnb for the best experience, I use the search box to input my preferred area. So, instead of typing in “Bali”, I input a more specific area in Bali so I get the best options. This narrows your search down and you zoom in to see the best listings available.

As with any online payment I make, I ensure I read reviews of other buyers. This is to get a general overview based on other people experience. Airbnb request guest to review their stay with host on their listing. So, reading other guest review will help you decide whether to book a listing.
However, a negative review doesn’t mean that you should avoid such host. This is because based on previous feedback, the host may have improved their services.
Also, reviews can help you get the best experience on the property. For example, a host may add Wi-Fi as an added service. So, reviews from guests may tell you if the Wi-Fi works fine or not.
Check the charges and total listing Fee
There are added charges that are applied by host on Airbnb. These charges asides the stay fee adds to the total booking fee before check out. I always ensure that I pay attention to these fees before payment. I have had an instance where the cleaning charge was too high for an host compared to another. Other times the cleaning charge may be more than your actually charge for stay-in.
So, I would recommend you book from an host whose additional service charges are not over the roof. This is because a high service fee can hike up your total charge of booking your stay. I love to cut cost to the barest minimum, so I book listings that have a fair service fee.
Read the cancellation policy and check in instruction
Airbnb host always have their cancelation policy in their listing. So, before you book your Airbnb, read the cancelation policy of the host. There are 3 cancelation policy on Airbnb; Flexible, strict or Moderate.
If you travel date is certain, you can book a host that has either strict or moderate policy. However, you can opt for host with flexible cancelation policy incase you’re unsure of your travel dates.
Also, also contact the host for check in instruction. This is so you can have access to apartment with hassle. Some host may have workers at the apartment to assist you, leave the key in place that will be disclosed to you or receive you by themselves. Be mindful of the check-in time that comes with your booking. This because some guest may be leaving before your arrival. Check in with your host for such information and ask any questions as regards your stay.
Book your stay in Advance
Another tip for booking Airbnb for your travel is to book in Advance. This because most great listing gets booked faster. More so, during peak travel season, you may have to settle for what is available. So, I would recommend you book your stay early as soon as your travel dates are confirmed.
I love to search for Airbnb listing past the first page. You may stumble upon great apartments and affordable deals from hosts while you search. So, for your travel, do a thorough search on Airbnb for the best apartment to meet your need.
A major fashion need that people pay less attention to is jewelry. It is so easy to put a stylish look together without wearing Jewelry. I also fall into this category sometimes. We all know that it is not every day that we feel like dressing to impress. Personalized name jewelry is one fashion trend that you need in your fashion collection. You can treat yourself, boo, friend, or buddies to this type of jewelry. There are several types you can add to your collection from necklaces, rings, & bracelets. So, if you are looking to hop on this trend, here is a simple guide on shopping for your personalized jewelry.
What is a personalized jewelry?
Personalized jewelry is that which has a special meaning to the recipient. It can be their name, initials, name of someone dear, or a lover. This type of jewelry is very popular and a trend for 2020.
So, if you’re looking to get something special that will resonate with your recipient. Gift them personalized jewelry. However, before shopping for such jewelry for anyone. You need to know them and what will resonate with them. For example, if I want to shop for a name necklace for a bestie, I need to know what name she would like. So, I can opt for her name or that of a loved one to be made on the jewelry.
How to wear a personalized jewelry?
It is not uncommon for women to jewelry than men. However, personalized jewelry can be is unisex. You can gift it to both men or women. Also, children can wear this type of jewelry. So, you can give your child or your friends and family members children this type of jewelry.
There are several options you can choose for personalized jewelry. It can be gold ( rose gold or white gold), silver, or gold plated. I prefer gold plated jewelry. You can choose name jewelry, bar jewelry with name engravings, or simply monogram (Initials of the name)
Personalized jewelry can be worn on different occasions. You can wear it for work or a casual outing. Also, you can wear it for a dinner date or night out with friends.
Personalized name necklace I love because I can layer them with other necklaces. To get the best out of layering my necklaces, I layer necklaces of the same color. Also, you can layer a thin name necklace with a chain-link necklace for an edgy look.
Asides from necklaces you also layer your personalized name bracelets with your wristwatch. Also, you can layer your name bracelet with other bracelets for a chic look.
Where to shop
There are so many jewelry stores online and in store, you can shop for personalized jewelry. All you have to do to order is add your preferred name or choice in your cart.
The jeweler will make it your taste. I love the fact you can play with different font styles for your jewelry. Also, you can choose to shop for engraving writings on your jewelry.
One of the best places to shop for personalized jewelry is Etsy. Etsy is an online fashion and lifestyle retailer that hosts a loss of vendors. Also, the jewelry is very affordable between $25- 150 dollars. It depends on the value of the gold or karat or details requested for your jewelry.
Etsy online brand is easy to navigate to shop your own jewelry. All you have to do is to type into the search box “Name jewelry or personalized jewelry”. Also, you can search with more specific terms like ” name necklace or monogram bracelets”. You can shop for any jewelry of your choice by adding to cart. At check out, you need to provide the name or letter of your choice.
I love to shop for personalized jewelry from Etsy shop. Although my recent jewelry was stalled due to the pandemic. It still came in good time. Also, I will be sharing my experience shopping my name necklace and the brand.
Name necklace review || Etsy shop
I love to hop on trends that are timeless like name jewelry. Although, it not advisable to shop trends because they fizzle out fast. I shop my personalized name necklace on etsy from MyPictureNecklace brand. This brand sells hand crafted jewelry to meet your needs.
There was an hitch in my purchase. My order was shipped to the wrong country. However, after reaching out to the seller. He offered to give me a refund or re-send the jewelry. I love this seller because his customer service is great. Response time is also fine within 1 working day.
I opted for the second option. My jewelry arrive within two weeks at the nearest post office. I love my name necklace because it is so easy to style.

There are a lot of fashion brands that I am yet to explore for my fashion needs. So, I chose to shop for my summer fashion pieces from Chicme fashion. Some of these pieces I can easily transitional for the cooler months (or fall season).

One of the best ways to get discounts from the website you shop from is using the honey chrome extension. Since I started using this extension, I have been getting discounts with ease. You can get cashback too from these brands using this extension.
Customer service is everything when it comes to shopping online brands. So, for me chic me customer service is great. The response time is swift. Also, complaint resolution is quite fast. I would recommend shopping from them for their great customer service.
How long does it take Chicme to deliver?
Shipping from Chicme is quite okay to Nigeria. It takes about 2-3weeks to get your order delivered in Nigeria. However, if you live in US or UK, you will your order in 7-25 working days. You can also opt for express shipping for your order. Usually, for Nigeria, your order will be delivered to the nearest post office to you.
Chicme no longer ships to Nigeria post-COVID. Hope you guys have gone for your vaccines. I still shop from this brand. How do i shop from US or UK shipping and ship to Nigeria? I use a shipping company that makes my life easier. They deliver my order to my home.
Chicme Fashion haul Review
I love all the fashion pieces that I got from Chicme. The first is a color-block sweater dress. This dress is so lovely, soft and warm. I love to wear it with minimal styling as it is a statement piece. All you need tote handbag and heels to dress it up. Also, you dress it down with flip-flops to run errands or sandals for a casual outing. My sweater dress can also be transitioned into fall with minimal effort. So, if you need a fall staple, definitely shop this dress from Chicme.
I love knit cardigans so much. So, I bought a knit cardigan from Chicme. It is super stylish. The knit cardigan is V-cut on the back with pearl details. This cardigan you also transition for all. (That is if it not too cold). Also, you dress it up with denim pants for a date night or casual outing.
The last fashion item I bought is a leopard print turtle neck top. I really love this top. The colors are perfect for summer yet you can transition it for fall. You can wear this turtle neck top with denim pants, or skirts or layered with a blazer. I can say that all the items I got from chicme are perfect all year round. Who doesn’t love to get value for their penny? I love outfits that are versatile and super stylish any time of the year.
