The brand states that their aim is to infuse modernism into carefully selected traditional African aesthetic that transcends international borders and also about allowing women to experience the culturally rich and opulent side of Africa without having to compromise their personal contemporary style.
The truth of this statement is made evident in this new collection which is a refreshing mix of modern and local fabrics. It offers a classical contemporary and modern vibe with each piece.
The design aesthetics is as structured as it is simple. It features a simple pencil skirt, overlaid with geometrical edges. High low detailing is observed in the peplum hems and the dresses. Scalloped edges, sheer accents, flared cuts, full skirts, and a jumpsuit which is a perfect match of bold and printed fabrics are part of the offerings of this collection.
Prints in the form of Gingham, hounds-teeth and checkers are expertly mixed with African fabrics which gives it its Afrocentric vibe. I am officially in loooove with this!
Stay Stylish❤❤

American reality TV star, Kylie Kristen Jenner of Keeping Up with The Kardashians, has just released her Lip Kit collection, titled Kylie Lip Kit.
Also she took to her official KLK page to tell us a little bit of what to expect inside the kit and where to shop them. When asked whether it includes lip glosses, lipsticks, or pencils, she told Yahoo:
“I’m going to keep that a secret, but it’s a kit and I am super invested. I have been going to the factories, making the shades perfect, because I’m super particular about my lip color. I wanted to make three perfect shades to start off.”
The lip kit includes lip liners, matte liquid lip stick, lip glosses and swatches and can be bought online across the world for only $29 each.

DEREK and HANSEL are back, tearing up the runway and making fun of the fashion world. Not that the fashion world isn't a prime target for satire, but the 2016 upcoming release of ZOOLANDER II (AKA2OOLANDER), starring BEN STILLER and OWEN WILSON, aside from being wildly hilarious is stirring up a lot of controversy along the way.
This is as a result of an androgynous character starred in the movie named ALL, played by BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH.
And that just not alright with some people. In the trailer, Derek and Hansel ask All if s/he is a “male or female model”, to which All replies, “All is all”. Still unsure, Derek and Hansel ask, “Does the biggest supermodel in the world have a hot dog... or a bun?”
“Offensive,” says Sarah Rose, who began the boycott, concluding by saying that, “‘All’ is an over-the-top, cartoonish mockery of androgyne/trans/non-binary individuals and the modern equivalent to using blackface to represent a minority.”
But neither Stiller nor Wilson have ever subscribed to political correctness… and it is satire after all (or should we say, “after ‘All?”).
Do you agree?

Hi cupcakes!
For those of us who just cant wait to move into the new year, ELLE is your teleport machine and the Gorgeous Lupita Nyong'o is your captain!
The Twelve Years A Slave actress, Lupita Nyong'o is the star cover for ELLE magazine January 2016, and my word! How she slays!
This award winning stunner had a lot to share with ELLE on fame , diversity and so much more. Here are some juicy excerpts from her interview below!
On Acting Starwars:
'The opportunity to play a CGI character for me was the opportunity to not be limited by my physical circumstances. I could experience being bigger or smaller, something totally different to who I am. And of course its in a galaxy far, far away.'
On Insecurities:
'[Living in Mexico as a child] people would stop and take pictures of us just because we were black. And it was a time during that tricky adolescent phase when you're coming into yourself and trying to pave your own way but you're insecure about where you lie. It devastated me'
On Fame:
'I don't think being conspicuous is a state we're supposed to live in, or at least not permanently. I wish there was a dial we could turn up and down. And in a sense I can by making very deliberate choices about what to do and how, and with whom.'
Check her out!
Don't you just love her!
Stay stylish❤❤

Hi Cupcakes!
Welcome to the very festive month of December. It is that time of the year when christmas songs fill the air, prices compete with the clouds, when all your besties get married (or engaged) and you find yourself spending thousands on hair and aso-ebi. Most importantly, we are in that month where the main chicks get to flaunt their bae to the Family. And Facebook. And Instagram.
And the Side Chicks?
Well, let's just say you need me right now. After loads of research and questions asked to males and females, The answers to your "my husband must locate me this December" prayers has just arrived. If you want to make it out of the side-chick zone and into that enviable spot of the main chick, You better Smarten up and Pay Attention.
First, let's clear the air:
"There is no such thing as a main chick. If there's more than one involved, then everybody's a side; one piece is just bigger than the other"— Derrick Jaxn
Feeling relieved? Don't waste your breath. This doesn't make being a side chick Okay. It just tells You that you need to set your standards higher. Ever heard the expression "All or Nothing?"
Main chick or Side piece, you need to set yourself some good old standards hun. You need to show yourself some respect, realize that he would only value you as much as you value yourself.
Like my girl @princessposhnosh says;
2. Understand that you Lack the "IT" Factor
Ever wonder why he’s content with keeping you on the side? Doesn't it bother you that you’re good enough for him to get some quick beats, but not good enough to be the matriarch of his household?
The answer is simple. You lack “it”.
Now, I don’t think that there is a generally accepted definition of what “it” is. Most men define “it” differently. Some people have “it”, some don’t. His Wife/GF/Main One has “it”, while you attempt to trick him into thinking you are “it".
Here's what a few of the guys from my snapchat had to say as regards the "It" That They Crave.
3. You Make Yourself Too Available.
Why would a guy who seems to have found the "It" Factor in his main chick would want some side action?
Err....Greed and something called the 80/20 theory. For those of you who are not familiar with the 80/20 theory, it is a notion which claims that you can only get 80% of what you crave from your partner. The other 20% ,you either live without or out source.
So what does a greedy guy who wants it all do? He gets himself some side action. And you make yourself available for it, doing the nasty little things they respect their main chicks too much to ask for. Even the boys confirmed it!
4. He Can’t trust you
After all the whistle blowing by all these secondary Beaux's, running amok in the news and gossip blogs exposing themselves and all the married men they done screwed, you think any man stepping out on his lady will trust you?
If he's cheating with you, he ain't gonna trust you. A thief NEVER trusts another thief. The sooner you understand that , the better for all.
5 . You Think He’ll Drop The Wife/GF for You
Somewhere within the side chicks mind exists a fantasy world in which their love interest falls in love and leaves their current situation to be with them. Too bad 9 times out of 10 this will never be the case.
For one, you are an extra curricular activity compared to the real life task that is their main piece. These side chicks don’t understand that men will tell them whatever they want to hear in order to keep them happy, and most times these words pale in comparison to the truth. You know he lives with his boo. You know he’s married. Yet you still think he’ll leave his situation when he has the best of both worlds? Leave his 80 for a 20?? Wake up and smell the coffee sweetheart! It ain't gonna happen.
6. You aren’t the only one.
What, you thought you were special? He's loving you up on the side and you feel all secure, get it straight sister, You may not even be the first option! He can dump you in a heartbeat and its on to the next girl on the call log. We live in a society based off of multitasking. Consider yourself managed adequately, especially if he makes you feel uber special and doesn’t miss a beat!
7. You Have a False Sense Of Entitlement
These side chicks want all the expensive gifts, first class trips, all their needs and the world at their feet for their pain and suffering. May I remind you, that The main definition of side chick is secondary. Substitute. Supplimentary. Second/Third/Fourth tier.
You are the "jara" a man demands for when he buys some suya from the local suya guy just because he’s greedy and on his fat boy flow.
You are NEITHER the cabbage nor the onions because they come with the Suya. You are not entitled to anything but a hard dyck and what ever he decides to give you.
You should not expect the world from a man just because you give him a mere 20%. You're only presenting yourself as a drainage system and not wife/main chick material. You have to invest more in the life of your partner...
And for Pete's sake know yourself worth! You are too priceless to be picking up after another woman's sloppy seconds.
Till my next post, stay stylish and keep your standards high.
