It’s been a little while. Trust you are all well and keeping safe.

Knowing you have options is an amazing feeling. You don’t have to put yourself in one box but can check other boxes to see what good can come from that.

A typical example is today’s look. As seen in the cover photo, styled nicely with its black ensemble, but the versatility in me created another option.

Style they say is what you make it and trust me when I tell you, I’m on the right path 😉.

As long as you are going through this day, you might as well experience it in the best way you can. Open yourself to the fullness of life’s possibilities.

Raid your wardrobe and create your own. It will bring some sense of joy. While creating and exploring, always remember to Look Good Feel Great.

Yet to Launch

April 23, 2020

Dress: Custom made | NewLook Bag |  Shue_z Shoes

Happy Thursday beautiful people. I believe we are all doing our best to stay safe.

I would like to share the story behind this lovely piece I’m wearing. Whitney, my lovely colleague at work decided to enrol in fashion school last year, fast forward, I turned into her muse whenever she needed someone to try on her piece before she presents it in school and I benefited cause I got a new fit 😝.

I remember getting to work on a Tuesday and I asked Naa (How I normally call her) what happened to your school project, she replied with excitement; I’m done and you will like it. I need you to try it on. I sighed and said let’s see. When she brought it out, I fell in love.

Not only is it green, the neck line, the A-symmetrical detail, the back cowl and the exaggerated sleeves. I was like after presentation, it’s mine 😌. She laughed and here we are today with me in it ready for date night at Restaurant Home lol.

She’s done with school, have a few things to sort out before graduation but know I’ll be one of the first people to let you know when she launches as a designer.

Pay loving attention to who you are. Continually learn more about the positive side of life, and you will experience life at its absolute best.

Let’s continue to stay safe. If you have to keep working from home please do. if you have to be out take measures to keep you and those around you safe.

We are all in this together, Look Good Feel Great.

O’saah Spotlights: OLDIE BUT GOODIE

April 10, 2020

It’s Friidayyy and a Good one as that. Our Lord and Saviour has got our backs and i believe everyone is doing well.

Today, I decided to do something different. Maybe this is the start of something new, I don’t know yet but I will like to call it Osaah Spotlights. On today’s Edition, I am putting the spotlight on a brand I resonate with, Oldie But Goodie (OBG).

OsaahxOBG 2OBG is a brand about the culture for the culture! It is an emerging streetwear brand founded by a female that seeks to increase Ghanaian and African culture patronage by highlighting cultural moments and paying homage to the African culture we have today. Think of it like History meets Fashion! Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

The Brand gives me a sense of belonging and still keeps me rooted in culture with the African story designs placed on the simple canvas, a t-shirt. Nothing beats owning your roots with pride.

OsaahxOBG The Odehy33 TeeThe first collection of the brand is dubbed The “Amammerɛ” Collection. Amammerɛ in Akan means culture. When I asked the founder, why The “Amammerɛ” Collection, with such ease she said ‘what better way to introduce the brand to the world by putting out a collection about the culture for the culture’.

Even though this is a snippet of what the brand has in store for us, I can’t wait to see what the other collections bring.

Let’s get into the collection.

Inspired by the theme of the year 2019 dubbed The Year of Return, OBG’s maiden collection consists of three t-shirts that sheds light on the Ghanaian culture with the use of Adinkra symbols that represent characteristics of Ghanaians and equally Africans. It also pays homage to our ancestors who paved the way for the celebration of the year to be possible.

Throw on

March 20, 2020

Positive Attitude Blazer | DKNY Crop top | Primark Tights | TopShop shoes

Having unhealthy snacks, binge watching Love is Blind in my tights and crop top. Right after Lauren says YES, I shamelessly jump up and down like I know her personally 😂.

Just when i was about to find another show to watch, my sister calls me to meet up for late lunch. I just sunk in the couch and covered my head with the pillow and scream. I know you can relate with me on this one, imagine being in one of the most comfortable positions ever and then you have to move. Exactly!

The love I have for her is deep and it’s a sister lunch date. One of my favorite things to do, just because there’s going to be so much catching up to do, feeding off on her amazing energy. Would you agree i was half way dressed before the invitation?
All I had to do was throw on my vintage blazer, maintain the messy low pony and add a cute shoe accessory to complete my look.

How to add some style to a simple crop top and tights is very easy and simple. Depends on where you’re going, who you’re meeting and how you’re feeling.

1. Throw on a short or long blazer.
2. Get the right shoe accessory, could be sneakers, heels or sliders. Your choice.
3. Add a tote bag, side bag or wrist purse.
4. Look Good Feel Great.

Catch up in comfort

March 18, 2020
Primark Headband | Charles Tyrwhitt shirt | Mr Price Denim | Express Side Bag | Zara Shoes
When I had to meet the lovely Eliza of lnkCharity (Lives not Knives) for lunch at The Store in Croydon, UK, I settled on a slightly oversized white shirt and a basic blue denim. I knew my day was going to be filled with a lot of errands after a good meal and conversation, so as a creature of comfort I chose a look that required little effort but was still casually sophisticated. My favorite thing about this combination is how versatile it is to style.
Looking for other ways to switch this look up?
  1. Same fit with heels, the shirt sleeves rolled up and pushed past the elbow for a puff sleeve look
  2. Same fit with tennis shoes, a crop top worn on the shirt as an accessory.
  3. Same fit with heels, the shirt worn backwards to give it a different vibe all together.
These are only 3 of a gazillion ways you can customize this look to suit your own style.
This is a gentle reminder to let you know the baby steps you’re taking to achieve that goal are just fine. Don’t allow the setbacks you experienced to pin you down. After all, how often you rise up is much more important than the number of times you fall. Don’t give up 😉.
While you’re at it, Look Good Feel Great.

Gentle Reminder…

February 22, 2020

Talbots Petite Dress | NewLook Bag | Zara Heels

 

The wise are not wise because they make no mistakes. They are wise because they correct their mistakes as soon as they recognise them. Be wise ☺️.

This dress is a personal favorite and it just screams CLASSY. Do you agree?

Wherever there are challenges, there is opportunity and wherever there is opportunity there are challenges. The two are inseparable.

Look Good Feel Good and have an amazing weekend.

It’s funny how i have never done a post on Valentine’s Day but i chose to do one this year. Please don’t ask why lol.

 

So who got flowers? Cake? or a cheesy note from their partner?

 

Valentine/Galentine, whichever you choose to celebrate, is still about showing love and appreciation for the people in your life.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the usage of wisdom and sound judgement in dealing with challenges that come our way.

Black and White is more realistic…

Well hello hello, it’s been a while and a weekly dose of O’saah is back in full force.
First things first, Happy New Year. Personally, the latter part of 2019 was not easy for a sister. There was so much going on with work, experienced writer’s block (it’s frustrating 🙃), I went back to school for a professional course in Business Management (once in a while, that upgrade is needed 😉), will be done by the end of the year whew!

I believe everyone will agree they had their fair share of ups and downs last year. For those who couldn’t make it to the New Year, I pray for strength for the families, on behalf of myself and those who made it, child, God is good, feeling blessed, with God by my side, I’m ready to be used by Him, learn new things, do my best to network, and inspire you all through my style.
Samuel Fuller said; “Life is in color, but black and white is more realistic. Will my outfit pass with this quote?

Don’t be a stranger in the comment section.
Cheers to a Shinning Year of Look Good Feel Great and blessed things yet to happen.

Different Spots, One love…

November 29, 2019
Mango Blazer | H&M bodysuit | Zara pleated skirt | Zara Sandal heels
‘Cause we are sisters, we stand together.
We make up one big family, though we don’t look the same. Our spots are different, different colours. We make each other strong, that ain’t never gonna change’.
Who else sang along? 😅
It’s been a while I know but, sis has a lot going on.
I’ve been going through some amazing and not so amazing life experiences and I promise to fill you in as time goes on.
I came to tease with this post and let you all know, I’ll be back very soon.
I was in New York for 24 hours a couple of weeks ago and meet up with my amazing sisters.
We had fun shooting and catching up. I’ll let the photos do most of the talking.
Watch out for  Adjeiwaa’s blog  (click here) to get the details on her outfit and Abi’s (click here) to get hers.
I did complete my look by accessorising it with Abi’s Zara sandal heels and Mango blazer (gifted to her by a friend, Bless you friend I benefited). With the shades of brown going on, I can say I did Fall well 😉.
I finally met the one and only Jorge, with his lens we made magic. If you happen to be in New York and need to shoot, Jorge is your guy (click here).
Your biggest opportunity in life probably lies under your own feet. Look around you and you will find opportunities, big and small.
With love from my sisters, don’t forget to be you, do you and Look Good Feel Great whiles you’re at it.
