Hey Guys!
So, I’m dedicating the techy half of this post to Lade of toyinwithfashion because of her new phone mishap. She made me realize that I didn’t quite talk about this phone well enough, and maybe highlight a bit more of its qualities and how it can come in handy for someone on a budget but trying to get a phone with a good camera/video quality.
Before I go on, I’ll just like to state that I’m by no means a tech person. All I basically look out for in a phone is how good the camera is.
I’m also of the believe that you don’t need to shell out lots of money to get a good phone that will do what you need it to do – and for me that’s taking good pictures, browsing, and basically using the various social media apps.
The infinix hot 3 ticks the camera quality box well and does way more than one might expect from it.
I know the stereotype that comes with the infinix brand, so I was also really skeptical when I first got the phone. Though I already knew that it was specifically designed as a “selfie phone” being that its their first phone with a front camera flash but between you and I honestly, I was still very very skeptical. Imagine, my surprise when I checked out the camera quality and it was really good! I shared some pictures I took with the phone in this post here.
At approximately N30,000, the infinix hot 3 is pretty fun to use. It comes with its own user interface – techy word that I had someone break down for me too lol , and some really fun features like the gesture/smile/voice recognition and smart gesture. The user interface is basically the experience you get from the phone and this one allows you to customize/personalize most of the features to how you want it to look.
I hear it also can work as a power bank for other phones, although I haven’t quite figured out how that works yet and I don’t think the battery life lasts for so long. You can read the full specifications/ another review here.
Do you have the infinix 3? What is your experience with it.
Also, where do you stand when it comes to phones?
Are you more of a name brand person as per the latest gadget type person, or you’ll just rather use a phone based on its ability to do what you need from it ?
Now, that I’m done with that. Can we talk about this waist coat for a minute? I am absolutely in love with it and proud of myself for sticking with it even after my mum repeatedly called it trash. *sigh*
Going shopping with my mum is such a pain because she doesn’t understand my style and basically runs down most of what I pick. Struggz
I picked this up from the thrift store recently and even though, my mum couldn’t see why I would want it – I knew it would definitely come in handy and it did this past weekend. I talked about my love affair with waiscoats and shared a few styling tips as well in this post.
Do you have this problem with your mum understanding your style too?
How do you deal with it?
We had a church picnic during the weekend and I had to wear something casual. I initially contemplated wearing shorts but the insects wouldn’t let me be the last time I did and went down to the lake, so I settled for this net dress (Yup, its a dress that I tucked in) , black denim pants and my waist coat to add a little extra fun to it. The hat was basically a necessity because my hair is currently a mess. If you follow me on snapchat – you might already have seen how much of a mess it is. I also shared some clips of the picnic on my snapchat – @cassiedaves! Add me up guys!
What do you think of this look?
What would you style differently?
Let me know your thoughts please and let’s connect!

Thank you Ebony π
I have a Samsung S7 Edge, because Cakes is into tech and I just wanted a Samsung phone with a very good camera.
Tell me about the insects! I don't like being outside unless I'm wearing leggings, jeans or a maxi anything.

Those insects won't allow someone be great, it's actually frustrating.

I use a Samsung Galaxy 3. It gets the job done- I used it to shoot recipesandtake pictures for my blog for two years before I recently got a professional camera. With time, I'll upgrade to a better Samsung phone. I'm not really into names; I like phones that can serve me. That Infinix looks "hot!"
I had forgotten about waist coats until this post. You rock it well. Mothers hardly understand their children's sense of style; especially when they are young women and fashionistas.

Your waist coat is amazing!
I like to go with popular brands when I'm getting a phone for the sole reason that when it spoils, there'd be s lot of people able to fix it.
But this infinix looks real good!
That's a lovely waist coat, Cassie. One of the thrill-est thing is to have someone that gets your style go shopping with you. It's fun all the way!
I actually really like the waistcoat!! I don't care so much about phones as long as it works. But I just got the iPhone 6 which looks exactly like my old iPhone 5, so I think I want something different next. A Samsung edge maybe.

All I can really see in this post is that bag!
I've been looking for something like it recently.
Where did you get it?!
You look great by the way [As usual]
Trash!!No way, It was the waistcoat that brought me here, it caught my attention;I love it's vintage and it's Cassie… Cos if I saw this waistcoat somewhere else prior to this post you would still be the person heat came to mind.
Not really into tech but I love me some nice Samsung phones. About style issues with mummy, lol, we argue a lot sometimes I listen to her and other times, I just do me.. added you on snapchat but I haven't been able to see any of your clips..
I almost got an Infinix Hot 2 but later ended up with a techno C8 last year. Perhaps when I want to change, this could be my next phone. I like how the two brands squeeze all the features into an affordable device.I'll have to say that I'm not a brand person as I just need a phone with the necessary functions, I feel like its a waste to spend so much on a device that can easily get lost. Nice casual outfit by the way, and very suitable for a picnic. I love how the vintage waist-coat just takes the look up a notch. Cassie you really know how to rock a waist-coat.

I want the waist coatπππ. It's so lovely. To use the infinix as a power bank, you'd need to get an OTG cable to connect the USB cord.

Cassie…. The waist coat is lovely.
I use an infinix phone (infinix zero) and the camera quality is really cool.
I hear Infinix is doing great as per camera level. I've missed here too…π

Your waist coat is everything and I love how the hat compliments the whole outfit ,almost giving it this cowgirl kinda look lol..love it
That waist coat is awesome cassie!
For phones, i go with the best functions at the lowest cost, not brand names.
I currently use an Infinix phone and i can say that the brand is very A-okay. Durable, decent camera quality, decent battery life, etc.
I recently took some photos with a friend's Samsung Galaxy S7 and sonnnnn.. the picture quality took my breath away.
If the Lord blesses my wallet or someone else's wallet on my behalf, i won't mind getting that, but this Infinix Hot 3 or the Tecno L8 are looking like my next immediate buy.

Your waistcoat is nice. I wouldn't wear it, but it's very you. LOL @ your mom calling it trash. I'm sure you're used to her by now. Nigerian parents and their opinions. My mom doesn't "get" the things I like sometimes- but she almost always appreciates the entire outfit pulled together.
For what it's worth, the Infinix Hot 3 is very good. My friend used it for her food photos a while ago, and they were quite nice. For me, though, I practically live on my phone, so I do care a lot about the tech stuff and all the specs. I'm also particular about the camera, like you. I got to try the Samsung S7 Edge Camera recently and it has been on my mind. SO AMAZING, I've been praying to God to make it happen.
If the phone's camera isn't great, if I can't put all my apps on, and do half my work from the phone, there's no point buying it.
The samsung S7 camera is bae!!! but whenever I think of the price, I just chill small. lol I wouldn't mind owning the S7 myself too.
It will happen for you, amen!!
Thanks for the compliment Ekene.
I super love your waist coat!! your pictures are so beautiful
My Style Diary
Thank youuuuu Grace!
and what Kunmi said that bag… drooling over it
I sometimes tuck in a dress too (low) thought I was alone. I use infinix zero 3 and it has a 20.7 MP Sony camera and it's the bomb. I don't have a DSLR so use it for all my pictures.
I do too oh! I'm sure almost everyone does.
This one is almost at my midthigh level, so the type of desperado skills I used to tuck it ehn. lool
I'm going to check out the infinix zero 3 now.
By the way, love the shoes. No one's said anything about them. Goes well with the outfit.
THANK YOU!!! Stole it from my cousin hehehe
By the way, love the shoes. No one's said anything about them. Goes well with the outfit.
Your waistcoat caught my eyes right from Snapchat. Its so unique and 'vintagey'. totally my spec!awww, wish your mum digs your style. My mum can literally go shopping for me and I wouldn't complain about anything she comes back with. Nice hat too!

Thank you!!!! Long timeeeeee, I haven't seen you around my zone in ages! Thank you so much for reading B
I use a HTC one m8 phone because I have a special love for the brand but just last week my husband bought the Infinix hot 3 because he has broken 2 phones already this year so we decided to go for something cheaper in case same happens again,i even vlogged on it and I must say I've been coddedly eyeing the phone.I just might get it.

You vlogged on it? Azzin, you used it to vlog? Haaa! Maybe this is what I'll finally use to start my videos.
Biko where is the link to the video, make I watch sharply
hehe!!No the phone made an appearance in the vlog..When I eventually get it if I end up getting it I will definitely try using it to vlog because I can't come and develop muscles from carrying my DSLR.
The infinix brand is an awesome one really. Quite pocket friendly with the features the mobile phone offers. And oh, your vintage waist coat is lovely. Perfect for a casual outing. π lifeofdammy.com
you look great dear ..

This was another amazing post! I really love your style. We kinda have similar struggles with parents not understanding the new style and trend lol. My mom does that all the time π.
I love love love your waistcoat ,and the pictures are stunning.. when it comes to phone and am in for one with good camera.
I love love your waist coat and I couldn't even tell that your top was a dress, Looks really nice.Great pictures. I'm not into brands I love a phone with a good camera and right now I'm seriously crushing on the Samsung s7 edge
I lobe how tecno and infinix are doing a great job at packing great phone features for affordable prices.
My sights are currently on the infinix zero 3! The pics from that phone is just so cool, with its 20MP cam.
I am using a samsung A3 and the camera is absolutely lovely and I love the waist cost

Hey cass βΊοΈ I'm always commenting late. I don't know if I'll ever use an infinix, my sister had a terrible experience with it and I made sure to rub it on her face. My mum complains all the time about the things I buy, she calls them rags. I guess I'm just used to it lol and she has kind of given up.
I totally love the waistcoat and would wear it with pride. My mom is like your, she doesnt understand my style one bit. But recently if she goes shopping without me she says she just sees something a 'normal' person wouldn't wear and buys it for me…
