Halima Abubakar's head to toe blue - Hit or Miss?

 

Call me crazy but i actually love this look on Halima Abubakar (as a matter of fact, one of my best looks on her yet). Yes, blue lipsticks aren't something you wear everyday but who else but Halima to pull it off. For the first time, she was modest with her accessories and i think she looks fabulous. Perfect blend of edginess, personality and daring fashion. I only wish the dress was better fitting and the pink bra wasn't poking out. Lol! Nice one girl!

Errrrmmmm!!!!!!! Would you rock?

What do we call this now? I'll leave it to you to give this dress a word! Lol! Na wa o..............

Eku Edewor for Blanck Magazine!

How fabulous is the first lady of Cameroon?

Sorry for my absence guys, i've been a bit under the weather. Before we go into fashion today, how about you checkout this gorgeous woman - her name is Chantal Biya and she's the first lady of Cameroon. Definition of fab.com to me, lol! I heart her entire package particularly the hair. What do you think? You may look at up on Google,  you're gonna love her to death, lol!

Yvonne Nelson's red hot dress! Hit or Miss?

You don't need boobies to fill a cut-out dress after all! Finally, hope comes along for me. Lol! I think Ghanaian beauty 'Yvonne Nelson' looks fab.com in this red dress. Perfect fit, hair and make up - you go girl! What do you think guys? Hit or Miss? This was a recent appearance at a movie premiere 'Gold Diggin'. Though we can't see the shoes but i don't care - that red hot dress is everything!

Would you wear your wedding dress 'before and after' the big day?

How cooler can Keira Knightley be huh. The British actress rocked the same Chanel dress she wore for her big day before and even after (just that the dress kinda looks better post the wedding though, 1st pic). I don't think its such a bad idea personally and she somehow gives a lot of girls the reason to wear a short classy wedding dress. Would you?

Who wore it better? Tiwa, Lilian or Gbemi in ASOS cut-out dress

3 lovely women with banging body, same dress, who wore it better? Tiwa Savage, Lilian Unachukwu or Gbemi Olateri-Olagbegi? The lovely cutout dress is from ASOS, i found it for you a little while back, check out my post from here to get yours. I really like this dress but unfortunatly no boobies to fill it out *sad face*

Do we like Kate Henshaw's bangs?

Honestly, i don't think this is one of my favorite hairstyles on her. Probably it'll grow on me with subsequent appearances but what do you think?

Solange Knowles print dress - Yay or Nay???

Ya'll know how obsessed i am with Solange so you should be able to guess my take on this. Lol! The fashion forward diva instagramed a picture of herself wearing a printed dress by Clover Canyon. See the dress below and how you a get yours.

The most important resolution i left out!

Yes ladies, it takes less than 5 minutes. Do a self examination on your breasts as often as possible. As a matter of fact, EVERYDAY!

Serena Williams' dress, Hit or Miss? My message from her ensemble!

The fabulous athlete 'Serena Williams' took to the runway for a celebrity fashion show in Thailand wearing a dress by Unawan Tangkarawakun ( a local designer). I know this is merely a  fashion show and i doubt if Serena would ever dare to wear something like this in public but if there's anything i want to pass across from her ensemble here, please do not ever wear a necklace with a halter neck dress - you will only appear tacky! To achieve a classy look, you may accessorize the dress or your wrist but never your neck (there's enough going on there already). That being said, what do you think about Serena in this dress? Hit or Miss? More pictures below

Happy New year friends! Woohoo!!!

"Raise your glasses friends as we pour it up for 2014, we are here! Let's make it one of our best yet" Cheers!!!

What was your biggest trend of 2013?

With just a few hours left in 2013, how about we recap fashion that defined the outgoing year. From cropped tops, to bold colors, plaid, laceup sandals, print mixing, monochrome, patterns and so on, 2013 witnessed a lot of high class and urban fashion trends - both internationally and local. However, bringing it down to Nigeria now, which would you consider as your biggest? I vote 'Velvet'. It was an outrageous trend this year and the various interpretation that was given to fabric by designers was absolutely remarkable. Whats yours?

Kaylah Oniwo's retro inspired look - Hit or Miss?

Which was your favorite Angela Simmons look?

Just in-case you didn't know, the lovely Miss Simmons didn't leave Nigeria empty handed after she hosted the 'Music meets runway' show with IK, shhhhh............she left with stacks of cloths by top Nigerian Labels. See amazing fashion from her during her stay in Nigeria and share which is your best look on her?

Rihanna's all blue everything inspired look and yup, my message from it!

Goodness, i love Rihanna to death - physique, talent and style. However, i look at these pictures from just a few days back, not that there's anything wrong with her look ( i adore the retro inspiration to say the least) but if i can pass across any message from it, i'll be think twice before putting anything 'permanent' on your body! Tattoo's are great, i've got discreet one as a matter of fact but turning your body into a palette, NO NO! Just have a look at Rihanna's right arm. More pictures below

Best and Worst looks from the 2013 Headies!

Is it just me or is Osas Ighodaro's  body ridiculous! Dayum!!! I saw this look and immediately my mind flashed back Stacey Keibler (George Clooney's ex). That body, that dress = sheer perfection!. She is just incredibly gorgeous and nails one of my best looks for the night!!! The headies went down yesterday and as expected, there were the good, bad and ugly fashion moments. See my best and worst looks from the event below.

Can you see what i see in this picture?

The beautiful entertainer 'Tonto Dike' might be a drama queen but don't you just love how real and vivacious she is! She says it as she means it and never afraid to take chances. Aside from hearting Tonto for her 'out there' persona, she is one gorgeous woman and yes, you could steal a few makeup tips from her.

Face-off! Andrea Giaccaglia Vs Ghanian actress, Efya in Wana Sambo

Talk about the 'perfect' way to pull off a sexy cropped top. You see ladies, always cover your navel if you want to look classy while flashing some belly skin. I think both divas look absolutely stunning and i can't seem to pick a favorite. There's rumored Mrs Banky W, Andrea Giaccaglia and Ghanian actress, Efya both wearing Nigerian label, Wana Sambo. Who rocked it better for you? More pictures when you click.

Who wore it BEST? Cleo, Tiwa or Mpho in prints?

1, 2 or 3? Who wore it best? Personally, i love the print however, not so much in pants so think i'm feeling the dress version better. How about you?

See amazing mix of grey shades by the lovely Kim Kardashian!

Who else than the lovely Miss Kim Kardashian to wear one color but different shades yet look amazingly chic. North west mama was spotted out and about with sister Kourtney in Beverly Hills looking smashing in head to toe grey. With a pop of the seasons color (red), this ensemble will make a great Christmas day look. Yay or Nay?

This weeks worst dressed - Mercy Aigbe!

It might be just Monday but i doubt if anything can top this fashion blunder. Actress Mercy Aigbe was spotted at the recent Encomium white gig in this ill fitting jumpsuit that is simply an absolute disaster. Not only does the fabric look cheap and tailoring tacky, her styling was awful. Those pumps and the 'purse'....i have no words. Seriously girl, really? Just have a look at the crotch area. What do you think about this look guys?
