Power Shoulders

With all the Colorblocking and "eclectic" style that is always rampant on Nigerian social event red carpets, its nice to see someone go the simplicity route and hit it out of the park. From the blazer to the handbag, this outfit is casual chic at its best.

LOOKBOOK:MIDI SKIRT MAGIC!!!

If you dont subscribe to Patricia popularly known as BritPopPrincess on youtube, you should now. From make-up and hair tutorials to fashion tips, she has it covered. What makes her channel interesting is Patricia herself. Very funny and down to earth. In this vid, she shows her viewers the different ways to wear a midi-skirt. Midi skirts are in right now. In a world of too short skirts, i find them very refreshing as i am quite tall. Have a look at the vid and subscribe to her channel on Youtube!

Style Inspiration - Yellow Skinny Jeans

I was so impressed with this young lady's outfit at the 2011 Headies that i had to do my very first Style Inspiration. Although the shoes and top are budget friendly, the Jeans might be a little expensive for some folks at its current price. But i am pretty sure Forever 21 or other similar outlets will have a version soon. I went with this thin strap top because of the weather in Nigeria. I will never understand why some folks feel the need to wear heavy fabrics in a climate like that.

Teal Top with Ruffle - $29.99

Gabriella Rocha Kamilia Skinny Jean - $69

ASOS Quilted Lock Across Body Bag - $26. 96

Jenny Leopard Stiletto Pump - $24.80

Fashion At The 2011 Headies

The Nigerian Hip Hop Awards were held recently and there were some hits and misses on the Red Carpet. My rule of fashion has always been "elegant simplicity". Most times when people try so hard to be edgy, they end up falling off the damn cliff. These looks capture my fashion mantra.

Sorry but there is no reason to wear a bomber jacket in Nigeria. I dont care if its sleeveless!



If you are wearing a "statement necklace", why cover it up with long hair? A pulled up hair do and a less heavy bag would have made this a stand out look. Love the dress though.
