Nigerians always have to do things differently. This is the only decent shot I was able to get from the bride and groom, because every time they moved a swarm off people would get up to take pictures of them, I missed the kiss, hardly saw anything of when the newly-weds did the traditional dance into the hall and probably saw a peak of the fist dance.

Day 3- Bicester Village:

Scarf: A-wear
Blazer: New Look
Top: Primark
Leggings: H&M
Shoes: New Look


On the way back home from Manchester we did a de-tour to Bicester Village. Some of you may know it, it's a place for outlet shopping, but you wouldn't think so, because it's so posh and chic. They were stores ranging from French Connections to Yves Saint Laurent, let's just say I could not keep my eyes at one place at a time.
Definitely going to save up some money and we're planning to go and spend a weekend there as a group of families in December/January to spend some monies.
