“Yes! The 2000s glamor is having a major moment right now…… One of the biggest influences of that era on this part of the world was old Nollywood.” Bella naija As fashion enthusiasts and lovers know, fashion styles tend to come back from time to time, showing us that what we might have considered tacky or outdated, would soon become ‘in thing’ in years to come. Just look at what is happening with y2k fashion trends. For those who may not know, “y2k” stands for “year 2000”.

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” – Coco chanel I am a big fan of early and mid-20th century fashion. It’s one of the reasons why I love this show called the marvellous Mrs Maisel so much: the clothes she wears in the show leave me in amazement. I think that era was a great time for fashion. However, I’m not oblivious to the fact that the period was not the most pleasant for black and African people, which I am. So you will never catch me saying stuff along the lines of “I wish I was born in that time” or “I was born in the wrong g ..read more

“I am beautifully and wonderfully made by God, the one true Master. Ergo, I am a Masterpiece.” Chika Yvonne You might be thinking, ‘this is different from your other posts’. You’re not wrong; I mostly just style outfits and discuss them. However, I wanted to discuss this topic because………let’s just say growing up was tough the way I was. I was a chubby child. I was always, told it was a bad thing. Even made fun of for being that way. This then led me to hate my body because I always thought that my body wasn’t amazing because others didn’t think my body was amazing. I was completely wrong ..read more

 “Women think of all colours except the absence of colour. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.” – Coco Chanel So as the observant individual that I am (or at least claim to be), I have noticed that a vast amount of people wear all-black clothing frequently. That’s even what some of these people wear all the time. And even though sticking with just one colour in outfits isn’t my favourite thing in the world, I can understand people’s reason for choosing the all-black aesthetic and as well appreciate it…….but only when done ..read more

“Skinny jeans can be so basic, so why stick to that if you’re not basic?” -Anonymous It doesn’t take one to be perceptive to notice how people overuse skinny jeans. I mean, you have to be oblivious not to notice the repetitive trend. I’m not surprised, as most find it comfortable and easy-to-wear, because it can be worn almost everywhere and be paired with almost any piece of clothing. However, that should not be the only thing that you wear in every occasion. Same look but different bottoms. There are several other options one can consider instead of skinny jeans, that can take your l ..read more

“Take risks! I’m embracing bold prints.” – Hannah Simone Often times, people run away from incorporating prints to their outfits, choosing to take the road commonly followed and keep their outfits plain and simple. Other times when they do wear print, it’s kept to a minimum, so that they do not end appearing deplorable. You would hardly find people who use different prints & patterns together in an outfit simply because they don’t know how and they rather do something that they know how to do, even if it is generic. Nevertheless, today I am going to be showing you some simple steps on h ..read more

“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.” -Maya Angelou Most people when they see rain, it brings them feelings of dread and disgust, focusing on only the negatives the situation brings. This also makes these individuals feel slightly nonchalant when it comes to picking an outfit for that rainy day: going for whatever seems comfortable, even if they end up appearing lazy and unpleasant. However, in today’s post, I am opposing this way of thinking and following another option – a more vibrant one that is! For this look, I made sure to put forth the model’s bubbly side by incorporating some ..read more

“Cute accessories always help bring out your outfit and pull it all together. “ -Ciara Sometimes, wanting to be stylish can be expensive. I was literally gawking at Cardi B as she was killing it at Paris Fashion week. Admiring all her amazing and wild outfits and wanting to be just as fashionable. But sadly I am not able to afford even quarter of the clothes and outfits she displays all over Instagram for obvious reasons. However, does that mean I should make do with looking scrappy and unflattering due to how much I have in my bank account? Of course not, and I am not going to start now ..read more
