'TODUN.

'Todun. Pronounced toh-doon and is a Yoruba name suffix which translates to "that which is sweet".

That's her name.

I'd had a particularly stressful day at work. 

Side-note:Yes I work. My canon and it's photos don't pay the bills...or at least not yet ;) 

So anyway, after this particularly tasking day, and the ubiquitous Lagos traffic and attendant crazy driving I experienced on the way home, as the car turned into the road to mi casa, I spotted 'Todun. 

You had to be there to appreciate her regal gait. And then, as street style junkies do, I jumped out of the car and got click happy.

But at least you didn't have to be there to appreciate her black radiance. I've always loved this beautiful shiny shade of ebony, way before the world developed Lupita-mania.

So...the dress..she says her good friend in Ilorin made it for her. Pretty cool, no?

Was nice to meet you 'Todun.

And 'Todun's friend, if ever you're in Lagos...
