Peridot and Ruby
I need to tell you a story about Something Peridot that happened to me thanks to Peridot and Ruby.
Once upon a time in 2014, Mo Abudu turned 50 and threw a ball to end them all.

I checked into the Westown Hotel in Ikeja early that morning and the uber glam squad made magic happen. I went from beast to this blessed creation of God in minutes. Okay, fine. Hours.

The first time I saw this dress, I cried. I was absolutely besides myself much in the way I have seen brides do on Say Yes To The Dress. Then came my first fitting - I cried some more. Never in my life had anyone made me anything so prescious that defied all my own natural instincts to skalk around like a slob. I mean, just look at this dress!
