Whether you already have your wardrobe set up or you are still in the process of refining your style, the number one thing you need is a strategy; a roadmap to put you on the right track, and streamline your decision making.
Kick Out That Fashion No! No!
Boma Benjy – Iwuoha
I used to be a huge fan of the popular American television series Fashion Police. I was an ardent follower, and I mean the “wouldn’t miss an episode” kind until the shows 5-month hiatus following the death of the shows debut host, Joan Rivers.
Does your hairstyle tell a story about your personality?
Have you ever felt like you need to change your look a bit and you start with your hair, and then discover it was the wrong place to start? Well; that’s me. I have a signature hairstyle and when I wear something else, I can tell it’s not me. The signature hairstyle may not be applicable to everyone, but for those who keep one, it has got its benefits. A woman’s hair is the first and most noticeable part of her beauty. It enhances her personality and is an important part of her appearance that sets the tone for her entire look. A bad hair day is literarily just a bad day.
Real elegance is in the things that don’t show – Fish out that “Special” Lingerie
Boma Benjy – Iwuoha
I have always wondered why ladies tend to go lingerie shopping right about when they are starting a new relationship or meeting a partner. What’s wrong with wearing something nice and sexy underneath your clothes without having a special occasion in mind? I wonder.
‘I’m not afraid of heights, have you seen my shoes?
By Boma Benjy Iwuoha
Do you have people asking you why you love your heels? A mum who’s always asking; don’t you think that’s too high dear? Or a cousin who sits on your bed watching you dress up, then slips in that unsolicited guidance that goes like; do you ever wonder how uncomfortable it would feel if you fell off those shoes? Oh yes! I’ve heard it all. From the aunt who thinks I may end up with a cracked skull and 20 stitches, to a brother who thinks I’m too tall to wear heels that high; and let’s not leave out the know it all friend, who’s rather too scared to walk the heels, so she goes like, “you just love to attract unnecessary attention to yourself”. Yes! Like I said, I’ve been there.
Keep your money where you can see it; Hanging in your Closet
By Boma Benjy – Iwuoha
A famous 90’s Television character and style icon Carrie Bradshaw once said: “I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet.” Many women may not speak in those exact words, but they are sure as hell saying the same thing in many different ways. They want to see their money hanging in their closet.
Winter and the Dread of Dry Scaly Skin
By: Eruke Ojuederie
Harmattan season as it is called in Africa, or winter in other parts of the world, is a season many people look forward to especially with the thoughts of setting up a fireplace, the aroma of the well-seasoned roasted lamb upon night fire, and YES! Of course the unveiling of lovely coloured trench coats. Don’t ladies just love those fashionable coats, matching gloves and high boats? The list is endless.
