Name: Hi, my name is Diana/Busola Abel-Idowu....Diana for oyinbos...and Busola for my peoples.....friends call me Bussie or Di for short

Where are you originally from & where do you live currently: I grew up in Ibadan city...I currently live in Essex, England.

What you do for a living: I work as a Portfolio/Programme Management Consultant for my day job....I also have a T-Shirt collection called Words of Wisdom T-shirts, the brand is inspired by the biblical books of wisdom.  http://www.wordsofwisdomt-shirts.co.uk

How do you relax/hobbies: I'm creative and like to dabble in any DIY stuff...I sew and do a lot of fashion drawing, I'm obsessed with hair and do u -part wigs for friends, I make fascinators and I'm also designing a shoe collection....

What inspires your style: My style is comfortable, colorful and chic....I don't believe in suffering for the sake of fashion...anymore :)....my style suits my very busy life 

Who is/are your style icons: Currently Solange Knowles ....the sister knows how to stand out in a crowd without looking like she's trying to hard...and also Folake Kuye Huntoon from Style Pantry....her style is an interesting mix of elegant, edgy and colorful pieces. I love StyleFash25 style as well...she reminds of Michelle Obama ....infact I see her dressing Michelle soon .....lol

What's your preference, ladylike or boyish: A mix of both, depending on my mood. 

What fashion item can't you live without: emmm, my make up purse...lol...I can wear rubber slippers and Ekaette dress, but please don't take my lipgloss and liquid liner away....

Are you a Pumps or wedges kinda girl: I'm a flats kinda girl...lol...No more pinchy shoes.....free me ...lol...

Are you obsessed with any fashion item in your closet at the moment and what is it: A cropped leather jacket from Zara...it goes with everything from jeans, skirts and even my work wear dresses...and also a handmade leather across the shoulder bag I got from a rather rude trader in Mallorca.....

What's the most expensive or cheapest fashion item you've ever owned and was it worth it: Most expensive is perhaps an orange Louis Vuitton envelop bag I was given as a gift...the bag is almost useless...Cheapest is a shoulder length earring I got on sales for £1, I love them....

Are you a foodie and what's your favourite food: I love, love spaghetti, but it don't love me back...I'm currently trying low-carb meals, hubby isn't too impressed with the broccoli and cauliflower on his dinner plate.....

You are a working mum, how are you able to juggle it all and still look this hot: Prioritizing and trying to work to a sensible schedule...I like to believe super woman exists and I aspire to be her....but you have to know what your ministry is at every phase of your life...right now for me it's being my best as God's child, Kenny's wife and Fife's mum...they come first....career, business and other relationships are fruitful add ons....

What does hubby think about your style and does he pick out your outfits sometimes: He likes my style....he better do...hold on let me ask him..lol

What's the weirdest thing I'll find in your handbag: Almond nuts..... my bag is a mobile inspector gadget...you'll find everything in it...
