  Hello to my amazing readers, how's the holiday going? Mine is beyond terrible, all I do is sleep, eat and watch series. I have to say though I'm totally in love with Orange Is The New Black (if you haven't seen it, you should totally check it out) my favourite character got to be Doggett the way her character evolved throughout the three seasons from a religious fanatic, a comical one at that to someone you could almost relate to anyway enough of me blabbing.

  Today's new post is a DIY (do I hear yaay from the crowd) lol so like I always say "Boredom births creativity" (I think that's how I say it, I'm not sure anymore). So anyway I pick an old gown I had and recycled it turning it to a two piece which is really lovely and simple to do so follow this very easy steps.

THINGS NEEDED

• Gown

• Scissors

• Needle and thread

• Elastic Band

• Chalk or marker

STEPS

• Measure how long you want your crop top to be with a tape rule.

• Mark it then cut the gown into two with your scissors.

• Hem the blouse for a neat finish.

• Get a band or elastic and hem the top of the skirt and Viola! You have your two piece.

  Remember you could rock this outfits separately. You could wear the crop top with jeans or skirt and you could wear the skirt with a crop top or shirt. Remember to accessories and have a fab day. Feel free to drop comments and follow me on instagram @makeupbyziza and twitter @styledbyziza. Let's hear your comments people.

    Do you believe in love at the first sight well that's exactly how I felt when I first saw my burgundy skirt and I knew I just had to have it. It's so comfortable yet so stylish and that's where the saying "It doesn't have to be fitted to be stylish" comes in. So I went for a touch of black and gold to match my skirt. Gold heels, gold accessories and black top.

  These are pictures from my recent shoot with fashion blogger and men fashion enthusiast, Ikoghene Lawole popularly known as Ik.

  Here are some of the solo pictures of me taken by the amazing Ben and I call him amazing because he truly is anyway follow him on instagram @oj_media and Ik on @ikgram . Also follow me on Twitter @styledbyziza and instagram @makeupbyziza and don't forget to comment and subscribe.

Pictures down below.

  I was getting convinced this seemed more like a pre wedding shoot lol so thankfully I'm done with exams and I can play, I am beyond relieved.

  So after so much procrastination, Ik and I finally had a shoot together and I don't know about you guys but I'm totally loving the pictures.

  I wouldn't say we were going for something corporate but let's just say classy on my side and dapper on his.

So I wore a black top that I tied in a knot in front then paired the top with my burgundy midi skirt and gold heels and to complete the look I accessorised with Gold.

  Honestly I didn't know what title to give this post. Ik and I decided to wear pale blue jeans and a jacket but I swapped my jacket for a monochrome plaid shirt.

  This look is equally casual and dapper because I was totally feeling the shades lol I hardly wear glasses but I'm beginning to think it's not a bad idea. I mean what do you guys think, leave comments.

  Hello beautiful readers so recently I had a beauty shoot and my younger sister was my model yay for her she tried. So the theme for the shoot was summer bride hence the simple yet warm ensemble and for the makeup, I tried to do something warm and bright.

  I used a gold eyeshadow and with a mix of purple lipliner and pink lipstick, I was able to create a look suitable for the theme. Pictures below.
