Jumpsuit Fetish

I am a lover of jumpsuits! This piece trend might as well go down in history as a timeless fashion statement. From uniforms to costumes, jumpsuits have always been that one fashion ensemble that just about everybody can manage to turn heads in. A slim fit jumpsuit can show off  your curves even without being too revealing or unforgiving. For Curvy ladies, you can always trust in a black on black jumpsuit because it is slimming and it adds the perfect canvas for every ensemble. Which would you rock?

Style Inspiration: Work-Flow Monday

Good morning  Ladies! I hope you had a great weekend. Let's quickly talk about what to wear to work as this is a bit difficult for most ladies especially on Monday mornings. So, I have put together two beautiful dresses with two lovely jackets, a matching colour of handbag and shoes. You may do your pick or even create a look from this idea. Get inspired! Do you like?

Spotlight: Genevieve's Red Carpet Dress

Nigerian favourite leading Actress dressed to impress last night, pulling out all stops for the 2013 Lagos Fashion and Design week. As always, she likes to offer some shine to the otherwise dull  red carpet. Although, there will still be some misses in the eyes of fashion critics, but ultimately she is a stunner! 



Bloom, Doll!

 I am all about having a mesmerizing hair accessory. This sweet and simple floral accent is a real show stopper and it complements any kind of outfit perfectly. You can literally go anywhere and wear anything on your head.
 Although, the bejewelled heads are taking over everywhere, from Fashion Weeks to parties, to school, to dates or even work. Whether it’s too much or just fun you have to give this trend what it deserves: it looks fabulous! OK so it may be too over the top for some of us, at least to don in bright daylight (I’d probably feel as if everyone was staring and laughing their butts off) but headpieces come in tens of styles and designs as to fit and accessorize any and every occasion and look: flower hairbands, jewellery, crystal, beads hairpieces, textured, butterflies etc.

Trending African Attire : Aso Oke

Aso-Oke (pronounced ah-shaw-okay) is a kind of fabric that is hand loomed cloth woven by the Yoruba people of south west in Nigeria. Aso-oke was originally called 'aso ilu oke', which means cloth from the country of highlands. It can be worn for special occasions like weddings, birthdays and chieftancy titles. The beauty of Aso-oke comes out well when combined with other fabrics. The truth is, it can be worn by different tribes not necessarily the Yorubas. I for one love the Alaari because Red is a vibrant colour. Red Aso-oke pops out and gives any outfit a radiant tone.

Cool or not?


 
 
This is called Alaari-a rich red Aso oke

Art and Music : Olamide dressed like a Roman Emperor


Ok, I love art and I'm a die-hard fan of Olamide's music. For some of you that don't know him, Olamide is one of the most talented rappers in Nigeria. His new Album was scheduled for release on October 14th, but was pushed back for some funny reasons. The Album will now be released on November 7, 2013. Here is his beautiful album artwork. I love him in this Roman Emperor costume. A complete look with a sandal wouldn't have been a bad idea too. Do you like?

 


 



Christian Louboutin reinvents their ‘nude’ shoe collections

In a newly launched collection, Christian Louboutin has released the ‘nude’ shoe in five different variations from a fair blush to a rich chestnut.
They were created to closely match customers’ skin tones and as a result, it will further elongate the legs.
The Parisian Designer said "The shoes are there to give the woman an extra lift, not to take attention away from the legs and what she is wearing.“They disappear like magic and become a fluid extension of her legs, as in a sketch, elongating the silhouette.”
To best decide which ‘nude’ colour fits a customer’s foot best, the shoe maker has created a Louboutin Shades app which will recommend the colour that best suits users based on photos they upload of their foot. Isn't that awesome?

Black and White

Black and White is a big trend. If you have been reading this blog you would notice I love these colours. I can't even think of any other two tones that can play well together than them. This palette never goes out of style so if you invest in these colours, you can wear them all year round mixing and matching with the rest of your wardrobe. You can keep it simple with stripes, dots or solid separates to mixing textures, patterns and prints.











Glow, Baby!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week so far! As for me, I feel great and enjoying the Salah break. Today's outfit is created from the look of the popular Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji. she wore this lovely piece to the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival for the premier of the Half of The Sun. This look I created is a top and a pant worn together with a tiny waist belt. You too can glow in white.

So, if you are like me still haven't found your perfect pair then you may pick from these ones.
