Ghana based luxury women’s fashion brand Christie brown has just released their eye catching ready to wear Winter’15 collection, dubbed Coup De Classe. Modeled by our very own Nigerian Victoria Michaels, the collection is by far one of the best I have come across this year.

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!

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.'
