Jennifer Lawrence's Dior Frock Spawns Viral #Lawrencing Meme

The social media had been buzzing about Jennifer Lawrence's strapless white gown with two thin, horizontal bands of black since the moment she first arrived on the red carpet of the Annual Golden Globes Award. The U.K. Daily Mail first tweeted about the gown saying  it resembled a "glam coffee filter." Fashion critic Booth Moore called the choice odd, describing it as a "ring of pouf."-I agree

As the evening wore on, armchair fashion critics rose up and became armchair fashion designers. The first hilarious photo was Green Arrow actor Colton Haynes posted side-by-side photos on Instagram and Twitter. On the left was the dress on the red carpet, on the right was Haynes aping Lawrence's expression while wrapped in what looks like a white bed sheet accented with two horizontal black bands

Then, there was a dog -- clad in a white pillow case and two horizontal strips of black fabric -- that was doing its best JLaw imitation. An hour after that it was a cat in a white terrycloth hand towel and two pieces of black string being held aloft in a photo. Later,  Buzzfeed's Jordan Zakarian had rounded it all up by posting "Jennifer Lawrence's Golden Globes Dress Has All Of The Internet 'Lawrencing'" and by Monday morning the freshly minted hashtag #Lawrencing was everywhere -- a Barbie doll "Lawrenced" in a roll of toilet paper and black pipe cleaners on Tumblr, Ariel (she of "The Little Mermaid") was posted "Lawrencing" in a repurposed sail and length of rope, and anyone and everyone with access to a white sheet (or in some cases quilted comforter) and roll of black electrical tape was taking a selfie of themselves in full #Lawrencing mode.This is absolutely ludicrous! I'm waiting to see a photo from my naija people-lol


Halima Abubarkar, Tomi Odunsi, Toke Makinwa and Yvonne Nelson Went Dark

For the past year or so red lipstick started getting a hue darker every time a celeb donned it on the red carpet, until wearing black (or close to it anyway) lipstick was the coolest thing ever. The way I see it, we could blame this uber cool yet not-so-flattering-on-everyone-beauty-trend on either Rihanna or Azealia Banks. Now, four of our celebs tried this dark lipstick and I honestly don't know how I feel about the looks. How dark will you go?


Rukky Sanda's Dramatic Half-Shaved Hair Makeover

The Nollywood Actress has sported almost every colour and style you could think of and now she's rocking another new look! She took to Instagram a picture of her dramatic half-shaved haircut today.

Rukky's half shaved hair isn’t the only part of her makeover, though. She has also chopped off some of the length of her weave. While I normally would raise an eyebrows at such a dramatic change, I think this shaved hair looks great on her! The key to this look is tons of confidence — and she's definitely got it!
Do you like or are you totally loathing it?

Fashion Parody In 2014??

I am pretty sure a lot of us saw how fashion parody trended in 2013 and I'm thinking, will it continue in 2014 or not!.Well, it all started out as a good idea. We see designer logos turned with clever wordplay and imagery, plaster the end result on t-shirts. The results were quickly embraced by celebrities, street style stars, and even some huge fashion designers. Everyone seemed to start wearing Celfie, Bucci or Giraunchy tee. Do you agree it should be knocked off or not?



Men Inspired Shoes For Ladies

Today, I talk OXFORD!! You know those professional laid back chic intellectual looking shoes originated from Ireland and Scotland? They are known for sophistication in a very nonchalant basic and also for their comfort.

 For a Thursday workday look, it isn't bad to wear one of these. I really can't deal with the stress of wearing heels all through the week. Dipping a bit into menswear can certainly have fantastic style outcomes for us ladies. From boyfriend blazers or jeans to oversized tops, it was only a matter of time until we started walking in men-inspired shoes. Get Inspired!

Cute Twist Out Hair Tutorial By 3-Year-Old Riley

Three-year-old Riley stars in this video clip , where she explains how to get her faux hawk hairstyle.

The tiny trendsetter, who hails from Houston, Texas, breaks down her rockin' faux hawk in four simple steps: 
  •  Start with a twist-out. 
  •  Pin up both sides.
  • Pick your "woots," aka roots.
  • Laugh hysterically.
Whether her curls are styled in an updo, adorned with bows or covered up in a turban, it's obvious that Riley loves her hair just the way it is.

Her Mother, photographer Christin Armstrong explained, "The best advice I can give to other parents is to not compare your child's hair to anyone else's. Riley doesn't have loose, springy coils or waist-length tresses, but we'd love it all just the same! Teach them who they are early. Tell them that they're beautiful often. Not just when they're dressed up. Not just when they're hair is combed. Tell them always. Make it hard for anyone to convince them otherwise later."

I bet most of us could barely do this at her age. She's super adorable and fun to watch. Enjoy

Hello There!

I am so sorry I went M-I-A(Missing In Action) on you guys. I'm sure some of you might think I've stopped blogging, it just happened that I got insanely busy and then, I promised my family not to do any brainstorming over the holidays but then again I think I stayed too long. I hope to make it up to you all. Thanks for reading this blog xx
