Is Nkiru Anumudu creating a head piece trend?

Infamous for her rather unconventional choices in accessories (head pieces to be precise), socialite, Nkiru Amumudu is gradually making a name for herself in the Nigerian fashion scene. Spotting daring headpieces from fruits to shoes, Nkiru is taking fierceness to an entirely different level. What do you think about her style and would you be embracing the trend? Funny thing for me though......i really like this, can't explain why but i do and i wouldn't mind trying it out. 

GTB Lagos Fashion week 2013. Focus - Iconic Invanity!

What more can we say about a truly iconic designer! My God did Iconic Invanity live up to its name at the GTB Lagos fashion and design week. I was on my toes anticipating this collection and i must admit, i was blown away. Fantastic use of fabric, the patterns were breathe taking and the detailing of the whole collection was absolute perfection. Intricate embroidery/beading, textured satin, beautiful side/hip detailing ....maybe not too excited about the mixing satin and velvet but thumbs up for the risk. Am so gaga particularly for the patterns and dresses. Amazing i tell you! See collection below

GTB Lagos Fashion week 2013. Focus - Maki Oh!

If you were out to see a collection with 'the wow' factor, Maki Oh was it during the GTB Lagos fashion and design week. My most edgy collection, it features lots of fringe, amazing/interesting African prints, polka dots and well structured cuts. It was one of the very few collections that however lacked 'the color burst' as they kept things very demure with lots of army green, navy blue, wine and black. Beautiful, edgy, and ready to wear, see pictures below

GTB Lagos Fashion week 2013. Focus - Tiffany Amber!

Never failing to impress, Tiffany Amber brought texture and color power to life in its SS14 collection at the GTB Lagos fashion and design week. Classic Tiffany Amber, this collection features a lot of soft/slouchy fabrics, burst of colors, tie n dye, batik, maxi dresses, full skirts and ofcos its iconic wrap dress. No doubt, highly creative use of fabrics however a bit too traditional. My highlights were the rich textures, slouchy jackets and overly long neck pieces (beautiful). Have a look at her collection as showcased on the runway below. 

GTB Lagos Fashion week 2013. Focus - Lanre Da Silva Ajayi!

Undoubtedly one of the BEST collection from the ongoing GTB Lagos fashion and design week. Consistently raising the bars (local and international), the ever classy Miss Lanre Da Silva Ajayi has done it again bringing sophistication, edginess and glamour in her SS14 2013 collection. Out of this world fashion, some of the highlight of her collection includes bold embroidery, intricate cuts, water colored patterns and all round professional detailing. A fantastic contemporary collection, have a look for yourself and i bet you will be wowed. Thumbs up Lanre!

GTB Lagos Fashion week 2013. Focus - NeedlePoint Shop!

Well, when fashion is 'wearable', then am all for it! 'Urban chic' was what NeedlePoint Shop brought to the runway at the ongoing GTB Lagos Fashion week 2013. Beautiful collection and one of my personal favorite even though i would have loved to see a bit more edginess.  Bright hues, color blocking, prints and feminine dresses were all on display. See more pictures below and share your thoughts!

Genevieve Nnaji's yellow ensemble - Hit or Miss?

The lovely actress posted on twitter this picture of herself in a head to toe yellow ensemble. My opinion tho, am rather indifferent on this one. Here's the thing when it comes to Genevieve for me - you know am obsessed with her style but i think in a bid to consistently ooze effortless fashion, she 'under'emphasis her great body/curves. Like, i can't remember the last time she wore anything that flaunts her incredible figure! For instance, no doubt this is an amazing dress BUT this is something i'd love to see on a 'pregnant' Genevieve or say Genevieve in her late 40's. She's just 30 something (there about right).....she down plays her incredible physique a lot of times for me and that includes this look. Glamorous nonetheless hey! What do you think?

My top amazing ways to 'shave-off' your years!

While a lot of women are all about trying to look younger (going to the extreme atimes), i feel the focus should be more on 'how to look best your age' and not necessarily 'younger'. Over the years, beauty-wise, women of all skin types and tones have resulted to excessive makeup, inappropriate routine/rituals and even cosmetic surgeries all in the bid to looking 'younger' or rather less their age. What a lot might not realize however is that - a little reduction in certain areas could work a lot of magic. Checkout my few easy tips - 

When did she wear it best? Genevieve Nnaji's ripped jeans!

The sexy actress got us all drooling a couple of months back when she instagramed a picture of herself in sexy ripped denim pants, silk white blouse and Louboutin stilettos. Well, talk about re-cycling to perfection! She spotted a new look wearing the same ripped denim however this time with a Tee, blazers and those flats girl (hmmmmm.....you can never go wrong) - BTW, i love her hair!. What do you think guys? When did she wear it best for you?

The royal family have a good time in the bath - well, kinda!

Talk about a well fitted pair of jeans!

What did you really think about Tiwa's performance outfit?

God bless you all for keep checking in! BTW, though this was a while back - what did you think about Tiwa's outfit when she performed with olawale during last project fame?

Bridal fashion week feature - Vera Wang!

I can guess its most if not every girls dream to wear a 'VW' dress on her special day right but what do you think about a bridal collection that doesn't feature a single white dress? Top designer Vera Wang debuted her fall 2014 bridal collection and guess what all the dresses were completely PINK! Not doubt pink is a beautiful and very famine color but would you wear it on your big day? You might just consider after seeing this fabulous collection.

Kim Kardashian - Good makeup or Good doctor?

Well, what do you know - people are talking again! Over the years reality star kim kardashian have been rumored to have series of plastic surgeries done particularly on her face (nose). Now, just a few months after child birth, tongues have started to wag - reportedly shes gone under the knife again so i want you guys to have a look a few before and after pictures of her. I think shes a beautiful woman regardless but while we've got some pretty good cosmetic surgeons in the US, highlights and contouring could get a lot of magic done too. So what do you think?

Do's and Don'ts of leggings!

That's it! Am officially traumatized by Tonto, Ini edo and Rukky! Like seriously, why would tuck in or worse still wear a short top on a leggings? That is like the ultimate sin in fashion. Am certain a lot of you have seen this one too many times yourselves in the past - not flattering please, don't do it. Therefore, let's have a look at few rules when it comes to wearing leggings shall we.

Is kourtney kardashian obsessed with short suit? I think so!

The eldest Kardashian sister and very beautiful mother of two overtime has been admired for her amazing choices in dresses but what you might not know however is that shes got good taste for 'shorts', short suits to be precise.

Who wore it better?

Christian Louboutin introduces shoes to make your legs disappear!

Okay! Not literarily makes your leg disappear, Lol! However, the brand is introducing a nude color pump collection to perfectly match every skin tone. Regardless of how light or dark skinned you are, Louboutin went to the extent of designing an app that will help you find your perfect nude shade by simply taking a picture of your foot - it hits stores this month BTW. I think this is a fantastic idea and finally, women of color can now identify with nude shades. What do you think about the initiative?

Still tying your wrapper? How about you try knotting!

You might have seen designers like Lanvin and Tiffany amber incorporate this into one or two of their pieces and personally, i think its super cool, atleast finally we have a different approach to the traditional wrapper tying. We've spotted it on the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Elohor Essien, Dakore and so on. Now the world of fashion is taking it to 'NATIVE' attire which is very lovely and I guess, worth trying.
