Props to whoever styled mocheddah n extra props for the denim jacket, they are fast becoming my favorite for the season. The fedora gives it the posh finishing touch.

Pink Ribbon Day - Breast Cancer Pink Ribbons

Pink Ribbon Day - Breast Cancer Pink Ribbons
A lot of women are diagnosed with cancer every year. this is an awareness to all females, it could be anyone, remember to check yourself as often as possible and tell your loved ones too. my heart goes out to all the women affected with it and appreciation to the institutions, foundations that are working on this problem.

kimk promoting the awareness

 i really do wish we could have a few of those in Nigeria, i'm sure we will soon enough. For those in the u.s or u.k, you can volunteer or help in one way or the other, google it, plenty sites are involved with the movement. Get the word out!!!

even the NFL players got with the movement

     

Fashionable Art



 I think the strength of a true designer is to bring beauty out of the unimagined. If not, then the designer is just random. Creativity inspires me - the ability to think out of the box. Spotted some works on http://www.bellanaija.com/ they are not what you see everyday so I felt I should blog about it.

Everyone knows the ghana must go bag. the one you wouldn't want to travel abroad with but won't mind if it was a trip to the village. this dress is from the collection ''freeing your inner art" by LBDB at first sight i thought it was a gingham dress not knowing it was our very own ''ghana must go'' and also below is the mattress inspired skirt designed by Ituen Basi. I must say  that these are not items i would wear but i am definitely inspired

Playsuits: Still IN or OUT?

               We all loved the long jumpsuit but we have gotten used to seeing only one particular style of it i.e the harem type. Short playsuits are more fun but they fizzled out after spring to give way for the long jumpsuits which we have become too familiar with. you can even wear them with a vest or boyfriend blazer for a more chic look. I'm loving the slouchy type as seen in the pictures above, they can even be paired with tights.  if you are still loving the longer types, go for the wide leg and fitted versions of the playsuit.

I am also loving the african print playsuits. they are my faves for the moment.

              Seen rocking the jumpsuit is fashionista Nike Osinowo Soleye and tv presenter Adora Oleh in the new edition of complete fashion and kim kardashian while touring in capri and they all look fab in it.So it is safe to say that the jumpsuit is still in. for how long? i don't know

Fashion lovers: Cropped tops



sleeveless cropped top with red high waist skirt

 this 80's trend is back! girls with a bit of tummy should not be scared at all. this top can be worn in different stylish ways without baring the midriff. Lagosians are definitely stylish people, i just love the way it was worn by these two ladies in the picture above and below;


grey cropped top paired with grey maxi dress

 this top can also be worn with moto jeans and a tank top beneath if you dont want to reveal skin

I AM FASHION

I am dark.
i am beautiful
i feel
i touch
i sense
i express
i dress

sometimes i'm blue
and tweed is my next comfort.
or shy and wear black

how you see me is not necessarily who i am
or is it............
but how can i let you know
how to be heard without speaking

 in order to be irreplaceable, one must be different

how can i be different
how can i stand out
..................................................
..................................................
I am who i am
...................................................
FASHION IS ME
I AM FASHION
