Five Things I’m Loving Lately x Jumia Haul

Long time no ‘Things I’m loving lately’ post right? Well, that’s about to change!

I never do these ‘haul/new in’ posts because I don’t really shop online and hardly have a haul.. Weird right?
I might come off as someone who has orders delivered to her doorstep every other day but nope! I hardly shop, I haven’t bought new clothes in like a year now. I just try to make the most out of my wardrobe, re rock and transition!

Although this isn’t exactly a typical haul/new in post but it just happens that some of the things I’m currently loving also include things I got recently with my jumia shopping voucher.

-Jellies.
I’ve been wanting one forever and they are a bit hard to find here in Nigeria, (everything is a bit hard to find here actually lol ) and there’s the fact that when I do find, I hardly find one in my size (tall girl problems yall!) So when I came across this white leather one on jumia, I knew I had to buy it and I already have so many looks planned for it so this is me apologizing in advance. That’s how you know its real. You can shop it here

 – Beyond Beauty Wine Red Dark Lippie.
Remember my beyond beauty purple matte lipstick that I reviewed  here? Well, the wine red is also equally amazing and such a cheap buy.
I’m a sucker for red lipsticks but dark lips also has my heart and ever since this post where I got lots of people saying ‘You should seriously keep using this shade of lipstick, you look so good in it’. Well, you complimented and I listened!
Although you can find this in the market at #400, I bought this from jumia here

-Cateye Glasses.
Another thing I’ve been wanting forever is cateye frames for my prescription glasses, of course.
I’m sure everyone already knows that I’m short sighted (I mean I wrote a post on some of the problems that come with that here one time). I’ve used different shapes of frames but not the cat eye and its been on my to get list. Snapped up this one from jumia at a price of 2000naira. My last round eye ones gifted to me by Desola Mako recently broke 🙁 and this came in right on time! Can’t wait to take it off to the optician to get it ready for my everyday use. Woohoo!

– Hand Beads.
I loveeee hand beads and african inspired accessories!!
Way back then my wrist was never complete without a party of hand beads and I’m slowly getting back into that vibe. I’ve been wearing these out a lot lately and I love how they just go with almost every outfit I wear especially the red ones (which are my favorite).
Just found this old post where I was wearing my hand beads arm party as a proof of my love, for you guys. see here

– Eve By Emisara Neck Chain.
Another thing I was heavily into back then was neck chains. I’m talking those long ones that hang off your neck like this oval accents green one I got from the lovely people at emisara accessories. I just love how the stones sparkle in light. You can check them out here and on Instagram @emisara2014


On the side though – I’m loving this red journal I stole from my mum. Isn’t it just too pretty? Remember that time I attempted journalling?
