Hi Everyone!!
Sorry, I haven’t been on here all week.
There are sooo many things going on at the moment but I am never too busy for y’all.
Hope u guys are having a great week.
Mine has been interesting so far. Nada tres exciting but interesting enough!
My weekend was fab though.
I’m feeling very random today so I think I spread this randomness by sharing some random bits…y’all should do the same!
I’ll start with what happened this weekend…
So on Saturday, I was walking up my street, so a car passes me, pauses for a brief second and then moves…
I thought nothing of it.
Couple of minutes later, I’m on an adjacent street and the same car is now beside me and the driver parks…
I quickly picked up my pace…as in one can’t be too careful!
The driver of the car says hello and I turn around to see if it was someone I know
It wasn’t! Sooo I was just about to keep going when I noticed that there was a child in the backseat
The driver of the car, a middle-aged African man kept calling out and of course I normally wouldn’t even respond but because there was a child in the back, I thought maybe they were lost or something…
So I take a couple of steps back and dude is like ‘hello, you are pretty, do you want a ride blah blah blah’
I was just looking at the dude in shock
As in he has his child in the car oooo and he is trying to chat me up!
Next thing, dude is like ‘ohhhh you see my son…he is very cute right…his name is lesley'
I swear all through this I couldn’t even talk…he was even introducing me to the child...as per future step mother or what lol!
I sharply said ‘Have a good day’ and went about my jolly way.
I hope that child is old enough (he looked about 3 years old) to give his mum the gist.
Jesus take the wheel!
On to other randomness:
- I don’t like, love, fancy or ‘have a crush on’ anyone at the moment
- I’m not sure how I feel about that
- I am obsessed with this song (well it’s not really even a song….its an interlude)…’I Think That She Knows’…it gets me every time…don’t know why
- I broke up with my man about a month ago
- Did anyone guess? I bet you didn’t
- I still think he is an amazing person though
- But…
- Anyways
- I havent read the comments from the last post
- I'm not sure if I want to
- I'm soo happy that I know who my friends are
- I love them
- They exemplify women that inspire
- I'm sooo proud
- I’m looking hot today
- Lol…I’m serious
- I’m wearing a black high waist pencil skirt, a coral top and a camel-tone belt
- I’ve got some 4-inch heels on. I love them! Bought them a year ago…they hurt soooo bad in the store but I still bought them but never wore them until today
- My feet aren’t hurting…yet
- That’s it!

Here is the actual post I was going to put up before I got sidetracked!
The Kulture2Couture event ran all through the weekend at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London this past weekend.
This annual event celebrates designers of black origin.
It had a dual purpose this year as it also served as a Fashion for Food – Catwalk the World event.
Damon Dash, Naomi Campbell, Ozwald Boateng & Keno attended the opening night.
Designers including Yemi O by Kosibah, Adebayo Jones, Deola Sagoe, Patrick Kevin, Tina Atiemo, Stoned Cherrie, Nkwo and Zed-Eye all showed their fab collections. Check out some pics below:
My absolute favs were
Yemi O by Kosibah – The cut and corseting of the clothes…art in motion
Stoned Cherrie – Rich and full of heritage
Zed-Eye – I would actually wear her stuff – electric and fab
Deola Sagoe – Need I say more?
Tina Atiemo – Brought the DRAMA
Adebayo Jones – Classic and timeless
Thanks to Getty Images and Din of London for the pics
That's it! Tell us something random
Have a fab day.....
Spread the love...MUAH

Something random? Hmmm Bella is a strong babe. Didnt know you have been through a breakup.
And i hate pasta (You did say say something random) lol!!
Sorry to hear bout ur break up sweeree, u're such a strong woman and i believe there's nothing you can't handle with God on your side (and your loved ones ofcourse!!)
On a random note, i have this nasty habit of planning things when i'm bored like breaking down my lottery win (which i don't play so dnt know how i'll win it). Help!!
Have a fab day dear.
I'm number watttt? Oooooh..excited!!!! Lolll @ you not having a crush at the moment. Enjoy singledom! Make sure the next person is really right for u, cos u're special.
Hmmm...all these hideous men! Even with a child in the back seat...doesn't know what his father is capable of!!!
Bella, I knew you broke up. There was a post that you did that got me thinking so. Breakups are hard but glad that you still have positive thoughts of him!
Random thoughts: I am off to learn how to cook! Yay! Finally. I can't wait it should be fun.
Never wanted to cook because it was a major sign of rebellion for me growing up in Naija.
Now, I better move past "cooking" eggs b/c my body is saying, you better feed me right! Plus, I am tired of buying out.
I am swicthing to try a more vegan diet, but we shall see.
I am convinced women are such super strong beings especially those that balance motherhood and everything else in between!!!
I have seen you and u r pure HAUTENESS mama! I would love the outfit you described. Could you share? Well I hope they fit my 6ft 2in long body. LOL!
I am truly blessed to have the strongest of women in my life that I can call FRIENDS.
The Kulture to Couture stuff seemed fab and am glad the crew Damon, Naomi & Ozwald were there to give it even more weight.
Maintain your sexy gurl and have a brilliant weekend!
Oops, lest I forget, free shoe giveaway for folks getting married so tell your GF's lady and have them hit up my blog.
Ciao for now.

Basically, Ppl loved Wana's postt...and are a bit confused with Ashionye's accent...which, I don't think is bad actually...as per no H factor and tings...and how she was talking about being skinny when there was a plus size lady beside her {who by the way handled it well, and is very intelligent with the comeback she gave}...Ohhh a funny part was when Ashioney said she did not like fizzy drinks {and you knowwww my ppl...they totally ignored the fact that she said BUT pepsi light is low carbon, and sugar and all that...and Funmi Iyanda, in turn saidd. Yes, that's Y it's called Pepsi Light...BUAHAUAHAUH}
AND...I just decided to go back to the last post comments....and WHOAAAAAAAAA...there was a fight o. Don't go. Happy Thanksgiving. LoL.

My BOYFRIENDS have been shorter than me and i'm 4inches less of 6feet(the taller guys i have liked have been A.holes maybe i am destined to date short men)

This is my very own review.
Before I start, I wish you tagged the pix so I'd be more specific about the designs I'm referring to.
1. I don't know who designed those metallic clothes, but they SUCKED major! (And not the long gold dress)... I know people say you cannot judge creativity but that's just bullshit. Save that for the elementary school kids.
Was that supposed to be couture or something? Please, as a Fashion enthusiast, I think that's very insulting to infer such an opinion by sending those amateur pieces down a Couture runway...
In conclusion I'd say, VERY BORING show. I was really hoping for at least ONE outfit to save the day.
@ Bella: Keep doing your thing eh? Kwenu!
ONE MORE THING...
Which ones are Deola Sagoe's designs? She the bidness, I don't see that here...
I'm so hungry and my oyibo roommate is cooking something. Chai! lol
BELLA THEY HAVE TURNED YOUR BLOG INTO A MARKET PLACE OH.
nice bella just stumbled on ur blog wat happened to ur BN prose

Ah bella,why did you not fall in love with cute Lester? dont you know that kids, especially cute ones are babe magnets? I think for some women it signifies a man that is ready to setle down but the relationship did not work, i am not talking about baby daddy hood rats.
Bola.

Ah hon.....
Yemi Kosibah....the man making my wedding dress...
Love this post, your outfit sounds hot...
Much love
Hey Bella,
I was at this fashion show, on the sunday and it was wonderful. It was a celebration of african and carribean designers. You forgot to menetion Ituen basi and Ngozi Ijoma; their designs really rocked. Sagoe was just ok, same as adebayo jones. The highlight were Ituen Basi and Ngozi Ijoma designs. Beautiful, fresh and creative. Wale Adeyemi, was missing in action, which was a shame really, because people like David Beckham wear his clothes, his presence could have done massive publicity for the event.
my randomness
Broke up with my man a few months ago. Whole breakup is really rough on me this holiday season sha. I miss him to bits....i'm so tired of the ups and downs of dating that at this point i just want an arranged marriage and call it a day. Just when you are so happy and you are about to exhale, something goes wrong. i am a christian and i have never been in a rush to settle down but how long do i have to wait till things stop going wrong? I am so tired my people. **sighs**
Bella,
Random stuff, I like ur blog soo much,
-I am so knackered, should be getting proper rest and am on ur blog
- Should be working on my blog but am on urs, its like 'afise'
-don't think u need sympathy nor solidarity on the break up thing cos I just went thru that
- how can i think like that when I don't know u nor the circumstances involved?
-well, is it not meant to be random thots?
-en, but with discretion
-Am tired
-ok, not by force, go and sleep

Naomi Campbell looks extra fab!
akDSRandom Stuff:
This is the first comment I've ever left on your blog!
"I Think That She Knows" is the best part of JT's "LoveStoned". It was actually "our song" (me and my ex's), but he's an ass...I still love the song, but he's dirt on my shoes, lol...
sorry, my ex-bf (can i even call him that) broke up with me like ages ago, we had dinner after and err hooked up( i knowwwwwwww bad idea), he'd said he call (i know i know) and surprise surprise he didnt, i got a mass text for thksgiving and we're supposed to be good friends?! so now i feel like there is no such thing as a nice guy only inexperienced guy
other random thing, i did my hair. i look like anna wintour but one side is not the same as the other, i have ocd and a headache
i have done none of my school work
im not ready for my job interview
i have a headache lol
Some people are walking around with mental issues and do not even realise it. How does anyone with a rationale mind think it is alright to sit comfortably in a car and hail some one that is walking on their merry way much less do it with a child as audience. He is kolo! But then, what is even more Kolo is that a few chics won't mind and will even inside the car and continue the conversation. Issues!
Sorry about your break-up. I know there is more to it than the 3 or 4 lines you dedicated to it in this post.
It is good to see you write about something personal...you usually give otheres the lime light on your blog.
he's not talking to me right now and i hate the fact that that's an issue for me!
hmm
i rily like dis post, u always seem lyk an enigma, which is safe considering you dont know half the people u r bloggin for, thanks for lettin us see a more personal side of you!
random-:people find it easier to open up to me than I to them.
I cannot sleep without socks.
random thought...just surfed on facebook and must be nice to spend mummy and daddy's money.
lol at the guys trying to chat you up and introducing you to his son...like wtf?
something random: i can't stop thinking of ice cream
hmm randomness:
Currently waiting for my aunt to get ready so I can go out.
Heartbroken:
Life happens. You fall in Love. You get out or get Kicked out. You get angry. You feel hurt. Life begins. You start afresh.
My random thots:
--> Research is a bitch (4give my greek) and can't seem to get enough of my time. Should be done in two weeks.
--> I read his old emails ytrdy. Though I'm happy i still think he's an ass for not picking me. I so need to delete them...
Ur break up? Well that's one less unhappy female...or male (just incase you were on the wrong)lol.
Can't we do wrong? Why aren't we allowed to do wrong? We are humans for crying out loud, why must we be crucified for making mistakes? Aren't we flawed by design? so why aren't people forgiving? I deserve to be forgiven. I really do because each time this buffoon has goofed, i always forgave! :-(
Bella Naija! How u dey, my honey. I'm back 2 blogging...again. U know, as I was reading ur post, I thought, "wow, Bella is getting personal.."
Sorry bout the situation with ur man (breakin up); it can be tough.
...and in fact, sorry 4 the yeye man with the crying baby that was hittin on u. People sef!
I like ur creativity chic esp with ur going random...
..break-ups r neva easy, pele o, but u'll survive. Went thru one my self earlier in d year n afterwards i went numb!! Floated for a while n could not feel a thing. O well wat can i say, yday basically got tired of 'being in a relationship thingie', am totally feeling Angela, God help us.
Randomness: sometimes i think of sitting on d clouds and being invisible...
LOL! The story of the african man is too mad! kai some people have no shame.
how do I tell my oga that I have a new job?
