Happy Monday!
So I’m happy to report that Arik Air found my bag!!! After triumphantly retrieving my suitcase from Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Pierre and I went downtown to purchase Ankara printed pieces.
On our way, Pierre captured the following looks:

Style is palpable in the streets, witnessed by the array of vibrant colors and printed pieces. I loved the sight of these brothers walking in unison, wearing matching outfits. Many men in Lagos embrace prints and bright hues, and look great doing so.

Traditional prints are embraced by women as well, who wear skirts and dresses with matching head wraps while going about their days.

Driving by one of Lagos’s oldest churches, this mirrored sunglass sporting young man caught my eye.
After sight seeing a bit, we made our way to a shopping party for brand Shop Maju. The label stocks cute separates at affordable prices.

Bombshell @Mudi_Gift modeled a lemon colored vest and shorts by Shop Maju.

@MimiOnalaja and @FablanebyDerin looked lovely in white tops and statement jewelry.

And back at our hotel….

We ran into superstar singer @Iyanya, who looked dapper in a tailored suit.

I grabbed a picture with him, wearing an Equipment button down, Kenzo skirt, and Jimmy Choo lace ups.

And now I’m preparing for Cocktails with Claire Lagos!

I’m sure there will be loads of great style. Stay tuned to this space for the recap!
Until then, what do you think?
