What do you think about the new hair trend - fringed bob cut with bangs?

Everyone seem to be embracing the IT hair trend for 2014. First it was the fierce and fabulous Rihanna, then Katty Perry and now Naomi Campbell.

How to wear your wide leg pants inspired by IMAN

The very beautiful super model and entrepreneur 'Iman' is renowned not only for her perfectly structured face but also her iconic svelte figure. At 58, Iman still remains one of the most gorgeous black women in the world. Originally from Somalia, Iman is a mother of 2 and is currently married to British singer David Bowie. Her unique and carefully chosen choice in fashion has distinguished her as a icon in her own right. A particular apparel that i'd love to draw a few inspiration on by her is the Wide Leg Pants. Regardless of how she wears it, Iman seem to be a pro on this one.

Oh boy, has it been a hell of a day of a day or what! But before we get right into anything, let me shout out to you my fabulous readers - Happy Valentines day, hope ya'll having  loads of fun?

Fashion must have - Blazer Dresses!

The name may sound a little bit awkward but unknown to you, it is an outfit you have most likely seen on a couple of people before. Blazer dresses just as the name implies are dress designed in form of a blazer jacket to match the feminine physique. The approach to this apparel is usually very edgy, sexy, sophisticated and sometimes a bit retro. Its been on and off season in a big way for the past couple of years and i think its gradually becoming a wardrobe staple. Unfortunately, it is not one of those fashion apparel that can be pulled off by a lot of people. However, if you've got a nice pair of legs, perky tata's (cos they are mostly deep cuts), and a fierce/confident fashion attitude, then you might want to add this to your closet.

Trend Alert - Pairing Sock + Heels!

Pairing heels and socks was huge in 2012 and now in 2014, mega stars have been spotted bringing back the trend. I must admit, i used to feel disgusted whenever guys do this - i'm sure a lot of you have seen them one two many times wear their slippers with sock right? but compared to the ladies, it is really not that bad at all. As a matter of fact, i can totally see myself trying this out sometime soon. What's more exciting is, for the ladies, you can experiment with a wide variety of shoes for instance, Beyonce wore hers in a more demure way pairing a nude socks with sandals, Lupita channeled her inner 'Simbi pairing hers with flats and ofcos, the very edgy Solange shows us how its really done by opting for both print pumps and socks. What do you think about the trend guys? Would you be trying?

Would you wear a Decolletage/see through back cut dress on your big day?

A lot of brides worry about keeping things minimal on their wedding day, a lot of people complain about brides being 'too' sexy on their big day.....i say, wear whatever the hell it is you want! It is your day and it'll most likely come once in a life time so make it all about you. The only thing i usually advice brides though is - choose 'classic' wedding dress designs. By doing so, you'll look at your wedding pictures years after and that gorgeous dress will still be very much trendy. Topping the list of modern dress designs these days is the 'decolletage back cuts'. It is seen as a conservative way to flash skin while walking down the aisle without necessarily looking 'skanky'. 

 
However, i'd love to have your view. Would you hope on the wagon as a bride?  What do you think about the trend? Can't wait to have your thoughts!

Rihanna killing it in Stella McCartney - Hit or Miss?

Who is killing the white pants better - Rita or Steph?

Two very fashionable, beautiful and talented actresses, who do you think is killing the white pants better? Rita Dominic or Stephanie Okereke-Linus? I'm torn because i love Rita's hair (no Afro thank God) and Step's retro glam is giving me a life particularly the turban and shades. Lol!
