 Hello people,


On Saturday, we celebrated the birthday of my friend, Christine at Anong’s Thai Restaurant. In preparation for her birthday, I decided to make a skirt from a fabric I had laying around (I probably should have been studying — things we do for friends!). It was fast and easy to make and I was done in 2 hours.

I decided to be a little bit unorthodox by pairing this Nigerian print with a French beret rather than using a scarf (gele/ashoke).

 It felt like the entire restaurant was reserved for Christine’s guest 🙂

The Food was good too. I had duck curry and a tiramisu for dessert. Lastly, follow me on my new Keek account @LaPassionVoutee
