Legends of Awesomeness!

If you watch or are a true fan of "Kungfu Panda" you will most definitely have heard the sound track. What cracks me up is the part that says "something something something" like seriously? loooool...The dragon warrior is just the cutest thing!

Well 2014 has taken 2 of the coolest fashion icons ever and they will forever be regarded as my Legends of Awesomeness. First to leave was Joan Rivers, its amazing how she always had something funny to say like all the time! I really miss her making fun of George on Fashion Police, well we have been assured by Melisa that the show continues in 2015. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on who makes the crew.

There are some people who are irreplaceable and Joan Rivers is one of them!

Next was Oscar de la Renta.
Oscar de la Renta was known for making wonderful outfits for the everyday woman. My best Oscar de la Renta dress was worn by Kerry Washington for the NAACP Image Awards. Awesome! Awesome! The cut! The fabric! Tres chic!

Saturdays were made for weddings...

As I was made for styling them :)

As man is getting scarcer and scarcer these days, I challenge you eligible spinsters to buy your wedding dress,pick a date, make your bridesmaids list and just call me. My humble self will take care of the rest.

Hand made head piece made by moi! So proud of these little angels

You see my dears, all things work by faith. Your husband will meet you on that day at the altar I swear!

\Recently I have been accused of not including the male specie in my portfolio so this is a public service announcement that I also do male wedding accessories like corsages, bow-ties and souvenirs too.

Started from the bottom, now we here!

As we are all used to the funny pictures associated with this phrase ranging from the horse tail now Brazilian hair, the ororo lip gloss now ruby woo lipstick, and the funniest of all the loubs!

Well well, today's post is really not a slouchy something at all....
Hmm, it all started when I became a workaholic and all of a sudden i became a "flaty". Normally I would take my flat shoes then change later to my heels (ya know for comfort).

Its easy for 3 months to go by now and I realized #inTheDbanjWay suddenly, suddenly suddenly suddenly I haven't been any wearing heels. (i should put 5 exclamation marks here but read further and put it yourself)

Now this is the difference between a "heel climber" and a "flaty"

The Heel Climber

The Flaty (i edited the shoes but you get) 

Yes yes we know its comfortable but it shouldn't affect your chic status quo, stress yasef a little (especially when you need to make an impression). And guess what, wearing heels for a longer period will only hurt for a while, but they can help prevent knee problems at an older age.
So I'v made a new year resolution since October is my birth month :D and it marks a new year for me but if you catch me wearing flats y'all know January is the beginning of the year right?



Love Bisayo

Love it or not?

Its been a while, i know, i know, apologies.....

I have been having this argument with myself and now is its time i involve some other people so i end the monologue iv been having for a while now (now you know why i have been talking to myself a lot. I'm not mad :)

While I was making some sample sketches for a bridal train, I started this argument in my head - Why do people spend so much on a bridal dress that they wouldn't wear again? and i was faced with the counter argument - Why take away the bridal feel of the dress? So i came up with this

I am a major contender of functionality of an outfit, A.K.A ma wo kini yi kpa! A.K.A i go wear this thing die! A.K.A (the English version is not interesting)

I will love your feedback on this dress. Not saying its the perfect bridal train dress but it is something you can wear any day anytime without it screaming it was on a bridal train.


Thanks :*

Inspire a Child

I'v been wanting to do a post on my inspirations, today is that day.

If I am ever to intern for a designer it would have to be either of two people - Elie Saab & (ill leave the second person for another day). Elie Saab is a Lebanese self taught designer who started making clothes at the age of 9 and by 18 opened his Couture Atelier in Beirut and today the rest is history...(this is the point where you ask Google)

I am most intrigued by the fluidity of his cuts and the sophistication easily transforming you from grass to grace... (At this very moment I'm high LOL)....

Tight babes = happening babes

Matching outfits is always fun, at least 90% of the girls I know love to play dress up especially *coughs* (name withheld) this is her best game after a break up.

was definitely not meant to be a crop top

choking feet

same shoes, comfortable feet

The most important thing to consider when dressing up is if the outfit is occasion appropriate and the comfort. Comfort can never be over emphasized - when it’s too tight just drop it and pick another size next to it and if you are not so good walking in heels, start out with a 3 inch or better still a wedge, practice, practice, practice... practice makes perfect!

Last weekend was so cool i helped style a photo shoot for this cool headphone and Bluetooth device - Ziwik
