A thrift shop can also be called a charity store or an opportunity store. A thrift shop is a retail establishment run by a charitable organization to raise money. Charity shops are a type of social enterprise. They sell mainly used goods such as clothing, books, music albums, DVDs, and furniture donated by members of the public, and are often staffed by volunteers.
Sometimes it’s unbelievable that one can find nice piece of clothing in a thrift shop. I also didn’t believe it at first until I saw it myself.

On today’s post, I will be sharing a the picture of Dublin City Center.
The centre of Dublin has a very organic feel to it, with its winding, narrow streets and low buildings. There is only one grand avenue in the centre and that is O’Connell Street. The rest of the streets is much more human in scale.
The city is always crowded with people due to its high tourist attraction. on a Saturday evening, I was very lucky to get a picture of Henry street in Dublin with less crowd. this picture came out so great.
Not to forget, this was captured with the use of my mobile phone,
Fashion is Seasonal, which means one has to dress according to the weather.
Winter provides the perfect excuse to throw on jeans and a sweater every day from December through to March, especially for lazy girls like myself. That said, some days call for more than just denim.
Entering a new season doesn’t mean you need to buy an entirely new wardrobe. Adding a few trend-forward pieces will easily elevate your cold-weather wardrobe staples. In this particular post I’ll be stating out 5 winter must ROCK.
Turtleneck Sweaters– Specifically, Black turtleneck sweaters always dominate the colder months, so this winter, try adding a little bit of spice by rocking neutral colours such as brown, nude, blush turtleneck sweater.

Vegan Leather– Nowadays, Leather trends are becoming a go to. This can come in any colour and can be a jacket or pants. When it comes to winter trends, it’s all about color. “Classic black leather will always hold a place in our hearts but this season, jewel tones have taken over.

Coats– If you don’t have a coat in your wardrobe, it’s time to add one to your rotation, says Me. It instantly adds a flair of sophistication to any outfit, and rings back to Olivia Pope’s style: a win-win.

Furry, Fuzzy Outerwear– Parkas and puffers are great for winter, but when you really want to feel like a million bucks, nothing beats a plush faux fur coat. And you’re never too late to hop on this trend.

Snakeskin Boots– This primal pattern has had its moment throughout 2019, and it seems to be following us into the new year. You certainly don’t need a head-to-toe snakeskin look to take part in this trend. A snakeskin ankle boots or high thigh boot can do just the trick to upgrade your winter closet.
As mention in my first post, I’m undergoing a masters degree in Journalism and PR. one major course requirement I’m offering is Mobile Online Journalism (MOJO). This course taught me how to make a video with my mobile phone and using certain app to edit it.
This is one of my best courses, sharing the video I made which focused on SEX EDUCATION IN AFRICAN HOMES is important to me.
The three-minute video portrays a documentary about sex education in African homes.
Sex Education in African homes.
The video content includes visuals related to the topic in question. The choices I made in choosing a good frame in making the characters and content fits well into a proper image. While capturing the shots, I made sure there was enough head room for the characters. For other shots such as medium full shot, closeup shot and angle medium shot, I made sure I framed the images properly focusing on the characters interviewed.
I edited the video with KineMaster App. I made use of B-Rolls and Cut-Away in editing the video. Transitions was used in other to redefine different angles captured. The video was edited using a sound effect gotten from the KineMaster music asset. A variety of front styles was used in the video to explain the name of the characters.
Before the video was shot, I made sure the battery of my mobile phone was quite full, I also had to put my phone on flight mode to avoid notifications and calls interrupting the video. The Filmic Pro App was used in capturing this moment with the use of my iPhone mobile device.
After doing the basics, I kept my phone on landscape before adjusting the settings of the app to get desired results by setting the Framerate to 25 captures FPS and 25playbackFPS. The resolution was set to 16.9 using HD 1080p and filmic extreme. The focus and exposure were set to concentrate on the subject that is being captured. The white balance was set to automatic while the video was filmed.

first things first, I’m very passionate about Art and capturing moments and this is done with my mobile phone. I started using my mobile phone basically because its my go to and easily accessible. I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria which is the only metropolitan city in Africa with beautiful and antique structures. for the love of art, I started capturing pictures of this beautiful structures with my mobile phone which later generated to taking pictures of whatever I consider beautiful.
My love for Fashion cant be under estimated. Fashion for me is an expression especially in clothing, footwears, accessories, make-up and body proportions. One important thing to know is Fashion is what you buy and style is what you do to it. Style is an expression that lasts over many seasons, and is often connected to social markers, symbols, class and culture.
This blog will basically be about art which includes fashion and photography. I would love to take Y’all on this journey me.
