Weekend Bits || Desiree Iyama Launch, Genevieve Summer Party x Art.

LAGOS WEEKENDS.
You guyyssssssssss!
Long time, no weekend bits post!
Blame it on my ATL trip and the funk I was in when I got back but I finally went back to the lagos “event hopping” lifestyle the other-other weekend (really late post) and realized again, how much it actually is a waste of money for me going to some of these events because it’s basically just people standing around in circles. But I guess networking has it gains right? Even if I don’t actually do any networking. 
Anyways! It didn’t get to me much because I met Deola of omogemura at the first event I went to and hopped into her car to get around with her (Saved on cab fare. haha)  
My first event for the day was fellow Fashion Blogger, Desiree of  Desiree Iyama design label launch at meidei. There was so much buzz about it and I  just had to go show support. I think it’s amazing and really inspiring seeing young people follow their dreams and start something they are proud of. 
I went with my friend Banke and we both didn’t take any pictures of the event at all (or the next event either). We basically didn’t take any pictures at all. *sigh* Thankfully, Desiree sent me these ones.
I LOVE her bag collection! They are so lovely and I really wouldn’t mind owning one soon. Her pieces were nice as well and reasonably priced. You can check them out at desireeiyama.com.
I got to see Bella again, and I spied a couple of other bloggers who were doing low key *side eye* or maybe they are just introverted like me *side eye again*
We went to the Genevieve summer party next at the Fahrenheit loft. I was really hyped about this one because I missed out on the last year’s edition (I complained bitterly about it in this post) and I heard it was really fun. Well, this one wasn’t or maybe I’m just not cut out for this life. Lol.
The DJ was soo good though! I think it was Dj Sose, playing jamz after jamz after jamz! I met Beauty of fashionistabybuiti at the event and she was so nice!
I finally rounded up the day at art gallery Re.Le (I did a “sort of’ review of the gallery here) for an exhibition of drawings by “Austin Uzor”.
I appreciate art but honestly, I think it can be a bit of a bore going to art galleries, because you basically go through the place in a few minutes. Asides from looking at how talented some people just are, one other reason I like going to art galleries is because of the space itself – the white walls and general aesthetic. It usually makes for a good cool kid type shot! (Picture above) hehe
So quick question guys!
What type of events do you like attending?
Art exhibitions, poetry/book readings, store launches?
If you’re in Lagos and get up and about, what do you honestly think about most Lagos fashion events?
As always, leave me your thoughts please and let’s connect!
