Men in Brooches!

hello everyone! been writing exams but i'm back now. i'm working on a lot of things now that i can't let in till i'm almost done at least. Noticed a trend that is setting in among Nigerian men now which is brooches. i know next to nothing about mens fashion but i can tell a good tailored suit from the other and i love pink on a guy (sexy). At first, i wasn't really feeling the idea of guys wearing brooches as i am of any female inspired menswear but a few fashionistos rocked it so well that i think i can bear to see more of the trend.

not the biggest fan of this corsage brooch tho

Style Puss loves: Slits!!

My current style love among others has to be the thigh high slit! its very daring and haute. fashionistas from angelina jolie to our very own red carpet diva tiwa savage have been spotted rocking this trend. Taking the thigh high trend to the extreme is Rihanna, i don't blame her though, she's got the body!

  I like the fact that the legs are the main focus, exposing the upper torso would make this look trashy. my fave look of this thigh high slit however would have to be blake lively in lanvin spring 2010 collection.

i love the brown nude and grey combination, the sleek hair n d brooch!

i noticed the use of drapery on the dresses. i think that glams up the look.

Would you dare to rock this look? my answer: once my pilates start showing effect.

trend spotter- bell bottoms

Spotted wearing the bellbottoms trend is stylist Tayo Shonekan at the elite model search finale. She's wearing it with a one shouldered embroidered lace top with flared bottoms. I predict seeing more of this trend before the year runs out.

International Trendwatch- bell bottoms

the bellbottoms which were a big hit in the 70's have come back not quite sure if its making a hit though because its being kind of off and on. it made its first comeback in 2009 where stars like kim kardashian (above), heidi klum, victoria beckham and jeniffer lopez were spotted wearing it and its is slightly easing its way into the year 2010.

7 for all mankind bellbottoms

Personally i love them as they are very slimming and flattering to different shapes and sizes unlike the skinny jeans
