ON THE TUBE

For those who dont know it I have a youtube channel. I started first making videos so I thought it was only fitting for me to start a series with my current favorites on youtube. The honest truth is that I dont watch t.v I watch youtube dont ask me about any shows on cable because I honestly will be clueless, aside form my guilty pleasure HBO(In Addition to Scandal "I  ♥ Kerry" and finally Homeland). Hope you like!

love thrifting and love reconstructing thrift finds. Unfortunately for me I have two containers filled with stuff I am currently working on. So she gets major points for following through and completing her reconstructions. I got so many ideas from this video hope you do too.

Love Asia she has great taste. I just love everything about this look: the Midi length dress, the gold plated belt, the floral moto-cycle jacket, the autumn colors.........

I really love these twin girls,they both work in the retail industry so you know they have dynamite taste. I am always intrigued/inspired by the combinations they come up with.

Of course I had to put one of my videos lol! shameless plug one of my favorite trends for fall is leather ; so I had do a look-book featuring leather and while thrifting I scored this amazing sequin jacket! literally I have had a sequin jacket on my thrift list for ever. So I was super excited when I found this one. I would have preferred black and gold or colored sequins but hey beggars aren't choosers.  Subsequently I decided  to include it  in the look-book and also to showcase how you can style up and old tee and jeans.

WENDYS LOOKBOOK

So with age I have become a hopeless romantic( to my dismay) and this video that was made by Wendys beaux almost made me cry. Most men who help out with youtube videos dont do it by choice and God only knows the cajoling that must go on behind the lens. I love how invested he is in her venture; you can see the love through the lens and wendy's rise characterizes the quote "two heads are better than one" kudos to you mystery man.

Lastly I Love videos that show ways to wear anything and a jean jacket is a classic/staple. If you dont have one run to your nearest store and if you are on a budget thrift stores have loads. This video shows how versatile a Jean jacket is. Throw it on anything and it just tones it down it creates that "I am not trying too hard look".Furthermore I love the  concept of this video. I lust for the days when I will have the equipment and expertise to make such awesome video's, but I try to tell my self its  one step at a time. A one man crew can only do so much.

P.S I am always on the lookout for new channels, any suggestions?

CINQ CHOSES

It seems that of late I have become intrigued by all things french. Hence the title "five things" I think its because of the latest street style shots from Paris fashion week. Or it may be because the innate frenchman in me has surfaced. Frenchman? I took french of and on for about six years of my life. The funny thing about the whole thing is all I can say is "what is your name" and "my name is". I feel bad for my mom sometimes she really tried to make me cultured, french, piano ......... But all I wanted to do was draw and sing. 

Now here are my current five 
favorites:

Bloggers in Tutu's

Prints

           Pencil Skirts and Tees

Leather sleeves

                                Anything and everything Solange

                              

                                 

           

I AM loving the current explosion of plus size bloggers in TUTU's. As I said on my FB page I guess we all have inner ballerina's in us. As usual Gabi didint disappoint I also loved the outfit Gurl With Curves put together; if you are intrested in this style I know that forever21 has a few less expensive versions of the tutu skirt.
I could write a post just on the PENCIL SKIRT. The pencil skirt embodies my philosphy on style: it accentuates ones curves, it is sultry/sexy without being vulgar, its sophisticated and leaves room for the imagination............. 
Pairing it with a tee makes it modern and gives off that effortlessy chic vibe we are all trying to attain. 
Off course one of the biggest trends for fall is LEATHER and I have been obssesed with leather sleeves for about two winters  I am still trying to find the "right look" within my price point. I am crossing my fingers that it will happen soon. 
PRINTS!!! If you didn't know I am Nigerian, we love prints and all things colorful, bold and clashing. You can take the girl out of Naija but you cant take the Naija out of her.
Last but not least SOLANGE I am thoroughly intrigued by this woman; I just love her style and how she owns who she is. It cant be easy being her, but if her sister owns her music SOLANGE owns her style, her style is impecable! its the perfect mix of high, low, edgy, modern,  and vintage with an ethnic twist. My goal is that one day I will be able to work with her
( I am having a Stan moment ).

P.S  Rant alert!I need a HTML crash course I have spent literally four hours trying to place picture where I want them and trying to get rid of extra space really peeved feeling a little better now if the space wants to be there let it be!!
Ive got a Mini Look-book out on the TUBE check it out if you havnt already

LAYERS

When I first came up with the concept for this blog I told my self I would be posting twice a week definitely not twice a month lol! but as they say, we plan God laughs; I am so busy these days I go days without coming across anything fashion related (well maybe not days more like 18-24 hours!)

On the other hand it is still like 80 degrees were I live during the day, but it does drop significantly at night which annoys me because by mid day I am sweating! We are currently experiencing climate-control issue's in my workplace( thats a long story)
hence my previous statement.

Consequently I decided do a series on how I transition my favorite summer pieces for fall. Rompers/playsuit have been out for about three summers but believe it or not, I only have one and I bought it this summer ( I am most comfortable with classics and when I do venture out I have strict parameters). I hate spending a lot of money on trendy things especially when they will not come back the following year so I wait. Needless to say the romper kept on coming back and I finally found one in my size, my price point, and in a flattering silhouette. So off course you know, that I couldnt just store it away just because summer is over. 

Here is a typical summer outfit 

would have added a fedora and shades if I didn't have my hair in this retro inspired style 

To transition the romper for fall the first thing I did was to layer on a light sweater

I chose the sweater because I wanted to play with prints, it has graduated stripes and is in a neutral palette just like the romper. To add some color I choose my purple suede loafers and I finished the look off with a printed bag that also had the same shade of purple to tie the whole look together.

Finally I added another layer for warmth
(you can decided to add as many layers as you would like )

 If its colder where you live and if your like me and you dont want to give up your romper, all you have to do is add some opaque tights, which with this particular outfit I would pair with combat boots and a red lip,to compliment the red in the bag.
P.S Stay tuned for the other pieces I will be transitioning for fall and also for the giveaway winner announcement
( I havnt forgotten).

FALL TRENDS

I think Fall is every Bloggers favorite season, especially in the last couple of years because you can play with textures and layer. For me I love FALL because its a relief from the scorching summer but still warm enough to enjoy being outside.

 New York Fashion week has wrapped up so I thought this would be the perfect time to do this post. I am playing catch up this year like I previously said but so far I like what I see for S/S 2013. 
However we have to get back to this season. 

Hands down my favorite trend and the trend that has been in my top five list four seasons in a row is the PRINT TREND and most importantly "mixing prints".

 It was personified this FALL in the printed Cigarette Pant and for me the J.Crew presentation encapsulated everything I love for A/W 2012

 EMBELLISHMENTS, LEATHER, HEAD TO TOE PRINTS, ARE THE NAME OF THE GAME PLUS THE EVER PRESENT MILITARY TREND

AND  THE COLOR FOR FALL................ IS OXBLOOD

ANOTHER KEY COMBINATION WAS BLACK AND GOLD I WAS GOING TO SAY AN ODE TO WIZ BUT THEN I REMEMBERED HIS WAS BLACK AND YELLOW

For more on A/W 2012 TRENDS click on the video

P.S The winner of the contest will be announced in my next video and on Instagram

CARMAKOMA FALL PREVIEW

So if you are conversant with the plus-size blog-o-sphere you have probably come across the CARMAKOMA fall preview. So instead of regurgitation the same post I decide to do a post on my favorites. 

As you can tell I really love the skirts

 If you havnt heard of Carmakoma they are a Danish brand and I first heard about them from Gabifresh. Since then I have been following their rise and I have to say that I like what their brand has evolved into.

water color , hi-lo, brocade shorts, peplum yes please

gorgeous takes on the LBD lace and cut-outs can I say more

However I must say that at the beginning I felt that their vision was very niche based, but now from what I can see, there is a little bit in the collection for everyone. 

If you want to see the entire preview, you can check out  Jasiferslionsclub(which is wear I saw it first)and please come back and let me know what your picks are.


P.S I know its the middle of summer, and all that's on your mind is pastels, neons, florals, and color unfortunately this how the fashion industry works they never let you enjoy the season
