About Me
My full name is Lydia Epangué Enjema. I was named after my paternal grandmother, Lydienne. Hence Lydie. Idylle is my name spelled backwards in French.
I was born on 6 May. My star sign is Taurus, obvs.
I’m a twenty something year old (don’t pry!) Cameroonian. (UPDATED: Well, 30 now…) Born and raised in Limbe. My Dad is a Francophone Bakossi native from Nkongsamba (osso osso!) and my Mummy dearest a Bakweri from Muea.
I’m a Digital Development Officer by day and blogger and content creator by night (and weekends).
I’m a Christian.
I have 3 younger siblings ; Alida, Barbie & Tommy-Donald Jr.
I currently live in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
I’m married to the man I’ve now turned into my photographer Mathew Paul Warke. He’s the B.E.S.T.
UPDATE:I am now a mother! Little Leslie was born November 2016. My heart has been declared stolen since 🙂 <3
I have never considered myself a stylist. I am more-so a writer with a passionate penchant for fashion.
I am enthusiastic about books, food (especially desserts – God help my waistline!) TV shows, writing, sleeping, shopping and family.
This blog chronicles my style evolution and my attempts at creative writing.
