Last Saturday (November 30) the Number one luxury brand, Johnnie Walker, held its exclusive Step Up to VIP Lifestyle event, which featured American Rapper Wale and the legendary Formula 1 champion, Mika Hakkinen. Check out the photos of some of the red carpet lovers at the event....I see some Fashion Forward and Fashion Fail! Do you?

Suchille Presents 2014 Spring/Summer Collection Lookbook

Priscilla Suchi Best is the creative director of Suchille Clothings and she presents her Spring/Summer collection 2014 lookbook. The title of this collection is "Retrogarde"- taking a step back in time in fashion. The Nigerian fashion designer said this collection is one of her favourite collections and "the collection is for the bold, confident woman who is not afraid to make bold statements with her entire outfit.  We went a little from our aesthetics of designing pieces that are 'simple & innocent in form but daring enough to awaken the female body'  to when fashion itself was everything but simple". I love that she got inspired from the 60s glam and also the contrast between the outfits and the background is astonishingly beautiful! I like, do you?

Uti Nwachukwu's Fashion Statement

Never one to shy away from controversy, Uti Nwachukwu made a bold fashion statement at the Kinabuti Fashion show on Saturday (November 30) at Radisson Blue Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos by wearing an Unsual Drape Jalamia. The Yellow Jalamia is patched with Ankara on the sleeves and also by the sides, with a side slit. The fashion-forward superstar paired the yellow dress outfit with a sunglasses, a black pant and loafers. I love Uti, but I'm surprised to see him assume his macho position as a celebrity in this unexpected look. Is this a way of showing his feminine side? What are your thoughts?

My Red Dress on The 8th City People Fashion and Beauty Award's Red Carpet

I thought I had a slew of updates in line–but then I got busy and when I finally had time, I had to get my laptop and Internet fixed.  After the long day, of course I wanted to be elsewhere without a laptop or else I won’t get any socializing and brainstorming done.
But now that I’m back, I’m excited to share photos of me at the City People Fashion and Beauty Awards with my good friend Priscilla Suchi Best of Suchille clothings. She showcased her pieces and trust me , they are to die for! I will bring photos of the event later on but for now, check our outfits below.

 

 

Kanye's Ripped Shirt; To Have or Not?

Apart from being just a rapper, Kanye West is a fashion icon and can literally rock anything!  Kanye and Fiancée, Kim indulged in a little retail therapy on Black Friday (November 29), hitting up The Webster boutiques in Miami, Florida. He wore a shirt  that looks like “Fear of God” but unfortunately, it seems he bought it that way. Those t -shirts are over a $100. I really don't know why he dresses like that, but it’s supposed to be cool because everybody knows he can afford it so he wears such. Would you go out with your boyfriend or fiancée in this shirt?

 

Fashion Backward! Enough to Turn your Heads

I was paging through FW photos and saw no fewer than four men wearing backwards jackets. And I was like, where have I seen that before? -AH! Po wore one on La La Anthony's full court life and Alasia on America Next Top Model, season 14. Then, I read that a motorcyclist was riding and wearing his jacket as he always did, backwards; this unorthodox method made the jacket more comfortable while riding. So, this idea of wearing jackets backwards has become a way of pushing fashion forward/backward. Behold the looks:

The Mess in Messi's Suit

No disrespect to the world's best footballer and to the club fans! I know very little about football but I know that Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi is an Argentine footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team. I goggled it of course-lol. He may be the best in the world but has zero dress sense. Whatever, his fans love him! Behold, the awful suits....

 

I can't even look at this twice! This is probably the worst of his outfits which was donned during an event for Pepsi in China. Who designed this??

QUICKIE: When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Is it too late to say Happy Thursday? well, sorry it's coming late! Ok, I was listening to one of my favourite rappers, Drake --yes, I love rap music :) and this line hit me; "When was the last time you did something for the first time" really? This got me thinking. I wouldn't lie, but I don't even remember the last time I did something for the first time, like my routines are always the same. Is that bad? Would love to read yours, do share.

Toke Makinwa and Rita Dominic at the 'ELOY' Awards

I love Toke Makinwa, who doesn't? Apart from her jumping from one event to another I love what she does on her vlog. Ok, the 2013 edition of Exquisite Lady of the Year (ELOY) Awards took place on Sunday (November 24) and Makinwa was one of the nominees. She stepped out in a Monochrome frock and I love that she chose this colour palette. I also love her flawless makeup. She looked stunning!!!

There are always some moments on red carpets but errrr...Biyi, this is Nigeria and not South Africa-lol. Well, I am not here to diss anyone but want you guys to have fun looking at the few photos I have :)
