Ok guys I am here for a confession. I need to get things off my chest. Hi, my name is Alero and I am a shipping addict. I shop for fun, I shop when I feel sad, I shop and eat when I am happy, I shop in the street, in the train and everywhere ?. That felt good, better than jellof rice and fried goat meat on Christmas Eve at 1am ?.
I am the Queen of chasing sold out items. I call customer service y'all, I call them and ask them to reserve items and can cross oceans to get my items, I don't joke pipo.
This pink silky bomber was not excempt from that hot pursuit. It is by Mango and came out when no one else was doing silky bombers. Bloggers were slaying with it up and down and this deeply troubled me because I didn't have it and it was sold out, so naturally I was on the phone to Mango with very stern words ?. One day as if woken by the holy spirit, I went on my emails at 4.40am and saw an email from Mango that it was back in stock for like 30 minutes and sold out again. Jesus answered my prayers. Me and my jacket were finally reunited 3 days later by DHL who I will always love and respect for the work they do for society ?.
See below some favourite looks from bloggers that nearly made me jump off a bridge due to a sold out bomber jacket lol.
I have gone for a more edgy look to style mine, like a Riri inspired look

So at the weekend I went to Bruno Mars concert by myself, all together now... *awwwww * ?. I'll tell you the story. When these tickets became available for sale a few months ago, I missed out and before I knew it all the tickets had gone. I was devastated, I love Bruno Mars. Fast forward one day before the concert, I found some tickets and this ministered to my spirit, it was meant to be so I decided I was going. I called a few friends and no one wanted to come at such short notice so do you know what I did? I got me, myself and I VIP tickets and went just like that. I thought to myself, what would you regret the most
1. Going to one of the favourite artist's concert on your own or
2. Missing out all together
You guessed it, I wasn't going to miss out so I asked my own damn self on a date and you know what? I accepted the date. It felt good because I tell you something now, this was the second best concert I have ever been after the Queen B of course. Bruno gave us a show to remember. The production was amazing and still had that jazz club live band feel to it. Here is why I had an amazing time with myself
1. We grabbed something to eat before the show and we didn't argue about where to go or what to have, it was like we were in perfect sync ?
2. We got ID'ed at the bar twice! That's how young and youthful we looked *flicks hair*
3. When Bruno sang "Treasure" we serenaded each other
4. We sang Bruno songs while skipping home holding hands ?
It was fun to say the least. Try it next time, take your bougie self on a date and see how you like it.
