Now this is epic! Very fashionable woman i must admit.

Can't believe i forgot to Let you in on this. Ofocs, last year we had radiant orchid as announced by PANTONE and for 2015, it is a earthy red shade which as a wine and very warm brown undertone.

Wedding Wednesday Features!

So i decided to introduce this new segment "Wedding Wednesdays" as an addition to the blogs post. What happens is that we get to feature lovely brides, brides maids or grooms/grooms men on Wednesdays and have a glimpse of their stunning traditional ensembles, accessories and makeup on their special day. Hopefully with it, you get fashion, style and beauty ideas for your occasions as well. The features will be from some of my favourite pages on instagram like @asoebiafrica and the likes. The features will be from our 3 major ethnic groups/sometimes other here in Nigeria and a formal wedding dress by an international or local designer.

Stella is a fabulous fashion blogger (J'adore) and Dakore is our very pretty girl next door actress. They both rocked the same Vintage dress by Virgos Lounge.While Stella rocked hers in mustard, Dakore did in Purple. Who wore it better? I vote both ladies, they even have similar hair do. Lol! Particular item is already sold out but get similar dresses here. Another photo below

This is a gotta have for every fashionista in 2015. I absolutely adore this apparel because it chicens/elevates any ensemble in an instant. Works great for every body type regardless of your height and stature. Its very versatile, trans-seasonal and easy to wear. Throw it on your favourite dress, skirt, maxi or pants and you're sure to look like a fashion editor. Already spotted on some of the biggest fashion icons and lovers of our time (Victoria Beckham, Olivia Palermo and Kate Hudson to mention as few), here are a few reasons why you should seriously consider adding this to your wardrobe in 2015 courtesy our favourite celebrities and fashion bloggers.

Wait till you see the back of Kendall Jenner's denim shirt!

Just so you know, Kendall might be the next 'IT' girl in fashion. I mean, she's been killing it lately. Her street style and red carpet looks have been off the chains. She was recently spotted looking comfy and stylish in denim shirt and leather pants. From the front, quite a simple look hey? Wait till you see the back. Lol.

Ermmmm, i really want to try to like this dress buttttt......i think i kind of prefer it from the waist up. From waist down, its a NO NO for me. Remember i wrote the sheer was one of the most badly pulled off trends from 2014 yesterday, i guess i'm too convinced with this look neither. Her face look very beautiful nonetheless. What do you think? Love it or Hate it? She rocked this to the première of her latest flick BTW.

Tiwa bumping in style!

I wonder why she tries so hard not to smile these days though.......posh started this, then Kim K and now Tiwa? Na wa o! Lol Anyways, the expectant mother looked stylish in royal blue jumpsuit which showed off her tiny baby bump. She was spotted in a recent outing with her hubby Tee Blizz. Another pic below

According to popsugarfashion, that's waht they seem to believe. Lol! The 27 year old actress welcomed her first child with actor hubby Ryan Reynolds (38) during the holidays. The street style queen didn't disappoint a single time with her ever on-point maternity looks as she graced the red carpets and street with some unforgeable ensembles. See below a gallery of photos of the new moma's pregnancy style and share your thought if truly she is the most stylish of all time.

Are floral pencil skirts the new 'IT' fashion item?

Well, i guess Beyonce Knowles and Bolanle Olukanni have something similar after all. Both spotted really chic floral pencil skirts last week and going by some of fashions much adorned dolls like of Posh, Miranda Kerr and Heidi Klum, we're guessing the sophisticated girly apparel could be making huge rounds very soon.
