By Spring is here which means lots of colour, youth and fun-fresh style. Which is why Style Diary is proud to take a peek into the colourful life of our very own Emmanuella K.
So who is she? I’m Emmanuella a 18 year old girl from and living in West Africa. I’m studying Business management in an *English* school in my country (Cote d’Ivoire). Apart from school I found myself enjoying blogging and discovering new things all around the world. I like spending time with my loved ones (family, boyfriend etc), reading, watching movies, listenning to good music and doing crazy things with my baby sister and my boyfriend.
What is your dressing style? My style is influenced by almost everything. I’m a real geek, I spend much time on my computer checking out blogs, fashion show and other stuff showing off everything related to fashion. I’ve also been influenced lately by African print that I start to incorporate more and more in my closet. My style is pretty eclectic, most of the time I dress according to my mood and I like to try new things. But one thing that does not often miss is colour, accessories and I always manage to be comfortable in what I wear, that’s my style motto. I love floral, leopard, stripes and tribal print, colorful and lace stuff. I like wearing clothes that highight my curves sometimes and I’m not afraid of showing some skin but I never fall into the vulgar.
All time favourite shops/clothing brands. I love Atmosphere, H&M, Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Topshop, Forever 21, Zara etc. But here in Ivory Coast we don’t have those brands shops, only stores where you can find a variety of items and if you’re lucky enough find some of the brands I named.
My beauty secret is? I take much care of my skin tone especially my face, apart from that maybe eyeliner.
Favourite make-up brands. I don’t use much makeup in my life, I rarely wear make up but when I do it’s only Mac and Sonya products.
What is the most beautiful thing about you and how do you accentuate it? According to the people I value a lot, I have beautiful smile and eyes. I think my eyes are kinda beautiful so I put eyeliner to highlight my sight. As for the smile let’s say I brush my teeth very well lol!
Any insecurities? I used to be insecure about my body but I can tell you I feel good now. Something I still don’t like is my shoulders (I practiced swimming during a long period) and also my belly (not that big but well I’m a girl and we’re always looking for perfection). How I managed with that? Well I wear bustier and off shoulder clothes so you understand that I don’t even try to hide them because I learned to accept myself. As for the belly I’m still managing lol.
Your favourite music track would be…? So hard to choose, I can’t really. But there’s a song that has a huge sentimental value for me it’s All my Life by Kci & Jojo 🙂
Comment: ‘If you got it, flaunt it’ As for me I don’t like pretentious and cocky people. Don’t waste time flaunting instead of enjoying it while you don’t know when it might disappear. I correct the sentence in my way: “If you got it, enjoy the fullest but humbly”. I think it’s okay to highlight what we got because it means that we’re confident and aware of it, but as long as it does not become pretense and bragging it’s okay for me.
If your life was a movie, what would be its title and who would play you? It would be called, “We were born to shine “ and I’d play my role haha but if you mean a celebrity maybe Scarlett Johansson or Hilary Duff (I can see them in this role).
Your house is in flames, what one item would you save out of your closet and why? I have a box with many memories it will probably be this and also my laptop ( I know I said 2 lol).
Your all time fashion icon is…I fell in love with many people styles recently but if I had to choose one I’ll say Louise Roe.
Your favourite quote is…Never let someone steal your happiness, it was never theirs to take.
Do you have any blog, video links or website we can catch you at?

What’s your advice to young people? I’m still a young girl but for the small experience I got I would say that life will put sticks in your way and people will do everything to make you feel irrelevant. But you know what? You deserve happiness and don’t ever let someone walk all over you, when it’s your time to shine, when it’s your time to live happiness cherish every moment but if things are going bad don’t forget to pray the God, keep faith and remember that there’s no rainbow without rain, nothing was meant to be easy. You’re beautiful the way you are, as soon as you’ll understand it, your life will be easier.
Much love
Emmanuella
