Denim is definately GOTTA have this season


If you are still part of the people who think wearing jeans (denim) is for the soccer mums, you got it twisted and you are sitting on a very long thing. Denim is not just the in-thing but its the lovely fashion of the day for both young and adult. I will rock it any day and any time.
Now Jeans can attend church, got to office and not just casual wears.
Check different ways you can rock Denim.












 
Am so loving this,.

Are bigger fashion brands constantly stealing the ideas of smaller and lesser known brands?

 

Kesh Versace Shirt - Bellanaija - March 2015
Left – Kesh | Right- Versace
 
Gheen!! Gheen!! This might be taking the term “fashion is recycled” a bit too far.
Fashion designer, artist and DJ Kesh has called out clothing brand Versace for designing a similar shirt to one she designed for American Apparel. Undoubtedly the shirts have a lot in common even down to color and graphic concept, however the Versace shirt will set you back $650 while the American Apparel shirt sells for $50.
Kesh shared the photo saying “this hurts. $650 versace rip off. sold out in 3 sizes. what is this madness? From huge designer labels to small boutiques to giant pop stars to fame hungry former friends, what is this? Why can’t these companies, these brands, these people create their own work? Why do these people think that everything that they lay their eyes on instantly belongs to them?.
 
Although, Versace is yet to make a statement on the situation.
She also shared more photos showing her displeasure and reposting screenshots of publications like Fader, E! , Vogue  and more who had reported the story.
She told the cut “A friend sent an image of it to my phone. I woke up to it this morning thinking it was another cheap Chinese rip off. Then I saw the £440 price tag and that it was on the Selfridges website.”
Now the question is "is this a rip off or simply a coincidence? Are bigger fashion brands constantly stealing the ideas of smaller and lesser known brands? Is there a law that protect designers work? Can this get to court?

Congratulations to me, to change agents and Nigerians

Good day all,
 This is a fashion blog but am a Nigerian and I cant help but to congratulate my country how we all stood our ground for what we believed in, I am talking about people who believed President Jonathan and PDP is doing well and should continue with his #transformation agenda and those of us who believe Nigeria can be better and believed APC candidate Gen M. Buhari can effect the change we want in Nigeria demand for #change.
In all these I believed we all love Nigeria and wanted the best for our dear nation. I learnt that anything is achievable, it was believed by some that removing the ruling party is not just a difficult case but a " COLD CASE", many believed that it is not achievable, but the turn of event had shown that we can do anything if "WE STAND TOGETHER IN ONE VOICE". I also learnt that Nigeria can move beyond our different faith, ethnic and diversity and come together and taught the ruling class that the power really lies with the electorate.

I really congratulate the aged who came out to vote despite the fear of unrest in the country, I also congratulate those who are sick but still came out to vote because you believed in a better Nigeria, I sincerely and deeply appreciate people who came out in the insurgent areas to vote despite the fear of the Boko Haram, "you guys are AWESOME" and to all those who worked with the Independent National Electoral Commission who made sure the voice of the people and the vote of all Nigerian count. You all are the real Hero of democracy and the Hero of Nigeria and not any politician. We didn't have a 100% perfect election but the voice of the people were heard, through the electoral process.

I want to commend President G.E. Jonathan for allowing peace to reign in Nigeria by quickly congratulating the newly elected President and thereby avert riots or violence that could have claim lives of Nigerians. I was anti-GEJ and anti-PDP but I didn't hate the president's personality, he achieved some things and I believe things can be better. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours sir.
I want to congratulate the newly elected president and also let him know he need to surround himself with people of great intellect, who believe Nigeria can be better than this and are ready to work day and night to ensure this. #babanowthatyouarethere as much as I will like to keep jubilations till May 29, 2015 its unfortunately that now I am scared for you and APC and for myself ( having spent so many hours on social media defending and campaigning for #Buhariosibajo), #babanowthatyouarethere a lot depend on you and APC, #change must come and it must be evident to all Nigerians both in the rural and he urban areas, not the one AIT/NTA........ aired. #babanowthatyouarethere we must all enjoy the dividend of democracy and not you political god fathers or some cabals or some selected few in Nigeria. #babanowthatyouarethere you must remember those who stood by you despite all the negative things said about you (the masses). #babanowthatyouarethere the blood shed in Nigeria must end especially in the Northern part of Nigeria. I could go on and on.
I am happy I witnessed this era of change and hence I congratulate myself, my husband and my unborn children, my aged grandmother, my mother, my sister, my brother and our entire family.
 
 
once again I congratulate all APC supporters, all change agent supporters, all team buhari/osibanjo for the success, it looked unachievable but victory was ours.
Once again " CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL NIGERIANS"
GOD BLESS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
I love you all.
