Has 'KIMYE' really lost it in fashion?

Spotted at the ongoing Paris Fashion Week, new parents Kanye West and Kim Kardashian didn't just flaunt their love as a couple but also their newly found 'fashion/style'. Kimye were out and about from fashion shows to all around Paris wearing......oh well, you see for yourselves. My opinion, i know its fashion week and as expected you're supposed to be a bit edgy/editorial and all but seriously Kim? I mean, kanye...we can deal but kimmy.......really? Lol! What do you think about their outfits? Kim's fashion has really changed after childbirth, don't you think? See more of their Paris fashion week pictures when you click

Kim Kardashian or Annie Idibia - who's the sexier mama?

Even though Annie has spotted very few appearances with her baby bump, i envisage quite a lot of similarities in terms of pregnancy styles with that of reality star Kim Kardashian as time goes by. Just as this sexy preggos lacy frock both of them spotted - not exactly the same apparel but very similar. Who do you think looks better in theirs? Kim or Annie?

Were 'male' celebrities poorly dressed for the BET hip-hop awards?

It all went down at the BET Hip-Hop awards this weekend and oh well, i wouldn't know what to make of the fashion, lol. As expected, stars turned up on the red carpet bring their style A-game on however............you decide how their looks appeal to you. Below are some appearances i found rather interesting and yup, its particularly the brothers. 

Gbemi's all white ensemble....Hit or Miss???

OAP, Gbemi Olateru Olagbegi shared this picture of herself today wearing a rather interesting all white ensemble. She spotted a sleeveless white peplum top with matching 'short' shorts and purse. She accessorized with all gold from bracelet to neck-piece. Couldn't really get the shoes tho....but what do you think? Hit or Miss???

Nigerian Celebrities obsessed with yellow shirt dresses? we think so!

Finally, shirt dresses have found its way into Nigerian fashion (its about time) and as expected, fashion forward celebrities have spotted the sexy frock.....what do they all have in common? They are thinking bright, yes yellow seems to be their preferred color.  From left to right, Tonto Dike pairing her sexy cutout back yellow shirt dress with hot spiked stilettos (one of my best looks on her), Annie Idibia pairing her chiffon sleeveless shirt dress with some fierce ankle booties, Rita Dominic looks stunning in those ankle strap checkered pumps and miss Genevieve Nnaji keeps it casual in a Zara tunic. Who's are you loving the most and what do you think about the trend?

Big Brothers 'POLIKEM' matching outfits.......yay or nay???

Matchy matchy ensemble on couples is gradually becoming fashions 'in' thing - If David/Victoria Beckham and Justin/Jessica Timberlake are doing why not Polikem? Big brother's most loved couple Pokello and Helikem where both spotted in this matching all white and gold studded outfits. What do you think? Did they nail or missed on this one? BTW, i love their shoes......

Shes got on two of the hottest colors this year - her super sexy mesh bodycon dress has got grey (love the detailing) and that burgundy stilettos are on fire. Am also loving the fact that she chose a full hair, the perfect touch of fun to calm down all that sexiness, phewww. Lol! My only concern though is that i don't think the outfit is appropriate for a premiere but nonetheless  the look is exquisite. What do you think? BTW, the dress is called the crystal embellished long sleeve bandage dress designed by celeb boutique and its worth £130.00 (N32,500). You can it online here.

Ermmmm, maybe not for an everyday look but we can't deny the fact that blue lipsticks makes a bold statement. We've seen fashion risk takers like Teyena Taylor, Amber Rose, Kesha, Ashanti and most recently Rihanna spotting the daring lip shade. Personally, i don't think am that bold to take such a huge plunge but looking at these ladies, its not so dramatic afterall. A few brands that have offered suitable shades to the rather unusual and sizzling color includes MAC, INGLOT....to mention a few!

Genevieve Nnaji in Andrea Iyamah white jumpsuit - hit or miss?

Gorgeous Miss Genevieve Nnaji as expected brought sophistication and high class fashion to the red carpet at the Toronto premiere of movie 'half of a yellow sun' - however did she totally nail the look? Her white jumpsuit is by designer Andrea Iyamah from his fall 2013 collection. My opinion, i love genny but not this jumpsuit on her - sowie! Her hair and makeup was perfection (flawless) however i feel the jumpsuit is way too long in length and baggy particularly around the hip area for someone as petite as genny. What this does in reverse is that it makes her appear thicker and stunt (shorter). As you can see, it looks absolutely impeccable on a taller person as worn by model. For someone of her frame, i would have preferred something  not so high at the neck and fitted around the knees - that will better elongate her body and a visible strap sandal showing off her great legs would have nailed the look totally. Maybe a bit of tailored work would have changed this look but over to you guys, thoughts on her fashion for the event..............

Trend alert - the LDD (little denim dress)!

Move over LBDS/LWD's, the LDD's (little denim dresses) are back! I first had an eye for this rather interesting piece a while back when i saw the movie 'one day' staring Anne Hathaway (pictured above). I was so obsessed with the retro inspired dress on her, plus her pixie cut was just the perfect touch of freshness to nail the look. As bulky as the LDD's may sound, funny enough, they are super versatile and works best with most body frames. Dressed up to sophistication, down to urban.......the LDD is gradually gaining its ground to be a must have wardrobe staple. To further affirm that, fashion forward, miss Nicole Richie brought it all out with a bang just this week spotted during  NYFW! See a picture below, her head-to-toe look is simply perfection!

Cape sleeves - would you DARE???

Don't you just love when women take risks in Fashion! Even though cape dresses and sleeves was a huge trend from a year/two years back with my fashion 'it' girls like Cate Blanchett (not pictured), Gwyneth Paltrow, Katty Perry and Sarah Jessica Parker winning my best dresses of the year - no doubt actress 'Rita Dominic' still looks exquisite in this piece by Ugonna Umeruo's House of Nwocha worn just a few days back.

Oh dear! Why ladies? I have such a bittersweet feeling about this picture. Am so happy cos one of my most beautiful Nigerian woman 'Waje' is celebrating her birthday but this picture is just ..........! Which brings us to the question, why does your face look plastic particularly with night time pictures? I know the camera flash must have added to this but also their makeup contributed a great deal. I can clearly see Waje's contour and highlights particularly at the bridge of her nose. Speaking for myself now, i think their 'foundation' caused it!
