#8 .. and it's an Autumn OOTD

Wow!

I can't believe I've been gone for about a month
Well I haven't totally been gone but I've just been too lazy to make a post =P

Anywho... how's it going?!?

I thought I'd just come and post an autumn OOTD
I have quite a few ootd's but I just haven't had time to organize the pics

Also, I'm wayyyyyyyy over due for the little "healthy" journey
It's funny I made some progreess without actually exercising
For the last.. I dunno.. month or so I been on a strict veggie diet
and I lost about 6 pounds!
So that's some good news..
Well anyways I got so much work to do

After tomorrow I'm free and hopefully you'll see more posts
But, in the meantime here's some pics for your viewing pleasure!!

This is the outfit in it's entirety (very autumn-y)

Absolutely ADORE this Jacket!
The style is so elegant. Its from Zara, but I got it from the HMD closet

A simple casual fall look so I paired it with my Stevee Madden Boots that I got from Winner's for $30

The sweater was also purchased from Winners. It was about $4.00.

The liquid tights is from Dynamite. They were actually free.
The company let us pick out an outfit for free and I took the liquid tights as a part of mine

I really like this picture lol
Just a view from the back

So the belt I got a loooooong time ago from VV Boutique
The bangle is from the HMD ..
and I got my handy dandy wrist watch

Of course someone wanted to be a part of the shoot too =P

Wow she actually sat down and took a decent pic

WOOOHOOO! LOL

 

Then we took the party inside!



That's all folks!

Cecii xoxo.

#7 and it's my birthday!

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Meee
Happy Birthday to Me
 ( you sang the tune to the birthday song didn't you :P)

So it's my birthday
(well actually by the time I post this it would be day after my birthday)
 But still my birthday weekend nonetheless

And I'm 22 years old!
(Yet I feel so old :{} )
It's a really special birthday cause it landed on Friday which is my actual birth day
(If your Ghanaian or hang around Ghanaians alot then you'll get what I mean)
 
And what's that you say?
What did I do on this especially important day?
 
RIEN !

... otherwise known in english as NOTHING!
 
It's quite sad actually
I just moved to a foreign land
And with my dear friends being so far away
I literally have no one to go out and live it up with
( Not that I even like to party)
 
I guess in due time I will find my "niche" in this place
Till then I will just entertain myself with posting up blogs as a way to celebrate my bday  =P
 
 
My assistant photographer
(a.k.a my mom)
Just arrived so I should be back up regularly with o.o.t.d's
 
Anyways here you go, ENJOY! =)








Heeyyyy! there ;)

So on this particular day I was wearing a pair of loose khaki pants paired with a wool dress/shirt
(that was tucked into the pants of course) and a simple belt

 

 

With this you kinda get an Indie Arie type feel lol
But That's the aura I give with most of my outfits

Everything I'm wearing is from the HMD closet except the dress-shirt
I bought that for about $5 probably 4 years ago from Urban Planet

You see.. they are very loose/baggy
But that's what I like about 'em !!
O, and the shoes are from Zellers for about $8 I think

Not much jewellery
I just had a brown and orange beaded necklace, my handy dandy watch and some gold earrings

I know I'm not the only one who takes a bunch of random goofy pictures xP

 Till next time folks,

Cecii xoxo

#6 it's an oldie but goodie!

 I'm sitting in class right now
(Don't worry we're on break=P)
I'm feeling really bored and I came across some pictures on my comp
SOOOO I decided to upload them =)

For your viewing pleasures !



Weird how my feet and the floor are grey :S

 

 

 

Clearly I am not a poser, but my full outfit is H&M today minus accessories

 

I forget where the necklace is from, it's very old

 

Fun in the sun =P

The bag is also H&M but I got it from the HMD closet

Shoes were from Zellers for, I believe, $10 - at most

I'm so happy, I'm getting better and better at my eyebrows =)




 

#5 and here's my Mini- me's outfit of the day!

Soo, my photographer. (aka my mom :P) has traveled abroad AnD therefore it seems like I won't be having any O.O.T.D videos for a while. Nevertheless I thought I'd come through with an O.O.T.D vid from my darling niece who is clearly a poser. She was looking ultra chic and very much like a Gap kid, don't ya think?

Most of her outfit is from Joes. With a few pieces from H&M and Zara. I really couldn't tell you which ones. But I honestly find it ghastly to pay for clothes that are 75% less material than adult clothes but just the same amount in price!!!  O must admit, she does look good though :P

Anyways enough with the gabbing. Enjoy!

#4.. and I'm feeling blue

Ahhh, so hey folks! How's it going?
Travelled to Ottawa this past weekend and sure did have myself a good weekend.

So, in light of this cherry mood I decided to be proactive and do an OOTD

I had a few errands to run before I set off and this is what I wore
Nothing too major, just a lil sumthin sumthin.

Hope you Enjoy!

Got this Tommy Hilfiger shirt from the thrift store for $1

Got these converse shoes a good 4+ years ago and I still absolutely adore them.
They were probably about $15-$20

 

A pair of Guess jeans from the thrift store for about $8
And a belt I stole from my dad =P

 

 

Not a lot of jewellery, just a bangle from the HMD closet and...



my handy dandy wristwatch

#3 : Hi, My name's Ceci and I'm trying to get FIT

So, I've decided that it is aboslutely essential that I get on an exercise plan.
Seriously need a plan cause I'm two burgers shy from getting a muffin top :|!

Last year, I got really sick (to the point where I was hospitalized and put on drips)
I truely did play down how bad it was when I was around people,
cause I didn't want anybody feeling sorry for me
Even though the gaze I got from plenty aunties told me they were exactly that

I remember my third day in the hospital
when I woke up from my nostalgic induced torpor
The doctor said to me
 " You know, I really don't know how you made it as long as you did"

Like I was supposed to die or something, can u believe this nonsensical doctor?

Anyways, ever since that summer my body has just been doing different things
Before all the weight I gained went to my hips and bum (which I didn't mind ;)
But now it mostly goes to my belly :(
And because of my non-active lifestyle and bad eating habits thanks to exams and such
 there has just been an accumulation of fat everywhere on my body !
I'm not the type of gain weight on my face or neck or anything like that
It's funny cause recently people tell me that I'm losing weight
 but I'm actually at one of the heaviest I've ever been in my LIFE!!

As seen by the title, I'm not trying to lose weight here
I just wanna firm everything up and lose some inches from my belly
I'm a pretty tall gal so loosing weight would just make me look sick and frail

Soooooo...
to keep track of this journey I thought it's be a wonderful idea to blog about it
Need some type of diary to document my 'journey'
To see if the regimen is good, rather than just hoping I'm trimming the fat off my belly
Plus blogging is the new craze and seems like so much more fun! =P

So in any case, just a lil background info;

 

                                                Height: 5'9 1/2 (although that is questionanable)
                                   Weight: ??? pounds *embarrassed face*

 

Measurements (inches) :

Arms ---- 11

Waist ---- 31

                                Stomach ---- 36 *so embarassing*

Hips ---- 43

Thighs ---- 25

Calves ---- 13

Ankles ---- 11

Clearly, I really want this to be a D-E-T-A-I-L-E-D account
 since I'm measuring my ankles and all lol
But like I said really want to see if changes occur with the regimen I'm twerking,
oops i mean tweeking =P

So I guess next fitness post will be about my regimen and will contain the DREADFUL body shots

Until  next time !

Cecii Babii xoxo.

 

p.s. if there are any tips or suggestions on some good toning techniques feel free to leave a comment!

#2 Hi, my name's Ceci and Happy Thanksgiving All!

Frankly, I think Thanksgiving is a bunch of bull

Why is it that there is this one day to give thanks for the things in ones' life?
Shouldn't everyone be thankful of everything and one in their lives everyday?

Well anyways, enough of the the pessimism.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!
To those in Canada and Worldwide!


Just wanted to come by and show my outfit of the day for yesterday (Sunday)

The theme was ice cold
Cause even though there was sunshine
It was cold as heck!! 

 

So here it is:

 

Lol. please do not mind my goofy smile I was just excited I had a cameraman!

So the blue chiffon top is actually a dress which I got from the HMD closet

I tucked the dress into a grey skirt which I got from the thirft store(mind you I had to tailor it) and paired it with a black waist belt and a pair of black Aldo shoes studded with silver circles along the tongue

The only problem with this outfit was that it kept riding up so I was continuously pulling my skirt down - shameful, yeah I know lol (*covers face with hand)

A view from the back :)



For some reason I like this photo- looks like I'm mid--azonto :P
But I didn't wear major jewelery just a bangle from the HMD clost, my trusty wrist watch from the last post and a shimmery-grey necklace from Ardenes for about $3.00.



 

 

That's all folks =)

 

 

My cameraman

 

 

 

Oh but before I forget,
I want to give a shout out to my big bro for being my cameraman with the iPad
It felt much better now that I could move around for the camera! =)

Now, that is really all for now!
Till next time folks,

Cecii Babii xoxo.
