TGIF: Siena!

TGIF: Siena!

 Hey hey! So, in my last post I mentioned that I’ve got pretty exciting news, and tadum tadaa, I’m in Siena, Italy.    It’s the most beautiful Tuscan town located sort of between Pisa and Florence but not really. It’s close to San Gimignano as well which I’ve just been to. What’s an expat mannequin without some expat-ing, eh? I’ve been here almost a week now. I wasn’t able to…

What I Wear : Basic College Kid

What I Wear : Basic College Kid

  (My face every Monday) In Ghana I was all over American high school movies- Jon Tucker must Die, HSM, you know the ones I’m talking about. You know, with the jocks, and the cheerleaders, and the film geeks, and the regular geeks.

I’m wearing a basic off white top from F21, (they and…

On the Rug || Vitamin C and Sophie

On the Rug || Vitamin C and Sophie

I really  appreciate how that sort of rhymes, sort of. Most people know Sophie Kinsella for the Shopaholic series, Shopaholic 1,2, Shopaholic and baby shopaholic…you catch my drift. She’s a really good writer and has a great sense of humour, and nails the romcom literature genre- so she’s perfect for a gloomy day such as this one. I got this book for my long and dreary flight home, and was…

This Is Not The Album

This Is Not The Album

It’s the weekend and everybody loves a good to-be-played-too-loudly-and-possibly-annoy-neighbours playlist. Now, this album isn’t a new find, but it’s definitely one I have kept coming back to since my friend Adam introduced me to it, and have plagued everyone I know to listen to. It’s the This Is Not The Album EP by Ghanaian musician Jane Fara Fauzzier Afia Boafowaa Yahaya Awindor; we thank the Lord her stage name, Efya, and instagram…
