MY LOOK TO THE HEADIES 2012! AND I LIKED IT.

Navy blue blazer by John Richmond gifted to me by K,White longsleeve by Versace,Yellow pant by Nigerian designer Koje,Shoes by Aldo and gifted to me by my besto,Keke
I am such a last minute person when it comes to dressing up for an event. Until the morning of the headies award ceremony i had nothing in mind to wear and the fact that everyone is coming out all dressed up was threatening me seriously. And i didn't want to look under dressed and out of place. I just wanted to be appropraitely dressed for the night without loosing my personal style.
I swear it's good to have stylists as friends... I put the look together and consulted with my friends Yemi and Olu'Tosin and they okay'd it asides Olu'Tosin's constant "Efe please take off the brooche" but i disagreed and rocked it that way. I just love accessorizing with brooches... Lol! What do you think about my look?

AFRICA FASHION WEEK CONCESSION STORE TO OPEN IN LAGOS DECEMBER 2012



London, 27 September 2012 – The organisers of Africa Fashion Week London are pleased to announce that the first Africa Fashion Week London 2012 concession store Studio 29 is set to launch in Lagos, Nigeria in December 2012.
Having concluded a successful second year of the annual Africa Fashion Week London last month with over 20,000 guests and international press and buyers, AFWL seeks to continue its support of African-inspired designers with this brand new initiative, the first official AFWL concession boutique.

ELOHOR AISIEN SHINES BRIGHT ON THE OCTOBER EDITION OF GENEVIEVE MAGAZINE!

Wow! I was stunned when i came across this cover. In my opinion,it should have been called their beauty edition. Who would have thought such bright yellow layered top would fit well with an orange colored pant? But ex-beauty Queen E who spoke extensively on her new deal with supermodel Naomi Campbell and Miss Nigeria Pageant pulled it without leaving any stone unturned.

WHEN LAST DID YOU TAKE A RISK?

Pants by koje,LV belt gifted to me by Nefe,Shirt gifted to me by TL, Fur shoes by Valentino,yellow socks by H&M,glasses by Tom Ford,Wrist watch by Breitling
I was quite confused on what to wear to the store opening of nigeria's fashion label Toju Foyeh... And so,i took a risk with this look and yes it worked... I promised myself never to buy anything for just buying sakes... *IT MUST WORTH THE BUY*. I had to ransack the wardrobe and this look was created. I thought i'd share on my blog for you all to see. 

Love always,Efe Tommy of the good life.

UN AMBASSADORS M.I, D'BANJ AND RISING STAR SD VOICE THEIR MINDS IN GROUND BREAKING ARTICLES OVER ALUU 4!!

Honestly i cannot express how i feel about this barbaric incident that happened in Aluu. Four promising young men gone like that? I can only imagine the trauma and agony their families are going through right now. It is so sad. Sad that i am even short of words to type, but after reading these pieces by three nigerian musicians and UN ambassadors M.I & D'banj took the lead by releasing press statements followed by the Young and talented rapper SD. M.I who poured out his mind on his own article he titled "The hope is the worst part of it",young and talented rapper SD who's piece made me shed tears after reading and D'banj's "Aluu Masacre". I mean these guys stole these words from my mouth and even more... So,i thought i'd share with y'all.

MY FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE ELITE MODEL LOOK 2012 IN LAGOS!


Elohor Aisien[Ceo Beth Models & Oganizer Elite model look Nigeria,Miss Nigeria]
One event i always look forward to every year is the Elite model look. I get so excited about the high fashion statements one get to see and of course the models strutting the runway and owning it. This years competition had the male category and it wasn't an easy fit for all the contestants. I was up and about the show. I am sure i got the attention i needed... Lol! 
My best dressed for the night has to be Agbani Darego in Bridget Awosika. I m thinking who else can make that dress work for me... Next would the Queen E! Elohor looked super cool in Herve Leger bandage dress and a pair of transperent Christian Louboutin shoes. Now what could be hotter than that?  
There were loads of fashionable guests in attendance... But i picked my favorite photos and moments of the entire event.  Oh! By the way i was dressed up in a black and white printed tux bespoke'd for me by Nigerian designer Taryor Gabriels and my fur shoes was by Valentino. Click click click for more photos and enjoy....

RUNWAY TO RED CARPET: ELOHOR AISIEN IN HERVE LEGER

Elohor Aisien-CEO Beth Models
At the 2012 Elite model look, CEO of Beth models and organizer of the Elite model look Nigeria-Elohor Aisien looked stunning in a spring summer  Herve Leger by Max Azria bandage dress in nude and pastel stones. It was definitely a show stopper pairing it with a transparent and patent pointies from the house of Christian Louboutin. And ofcourse her signature fringe hair do was right intact to give more sophistication to the entire look. I like absolutely.

What do you think about Elohor's look?

ELITE MODEL LOOK 2012..AND THE WINNERS ARE...

Moyin
The Elite model look is no doubt the best model search in the country and in attendance was the who and who in both the entertainment circle and society. A perfect blend of high fashion, beautiful people, great music and stunning models. At the just concluded event that had seasoned judges like former miss world Agbani Darego, ace photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi, stylist Ezinne Chinkata and Elite representative from Paris Stephane Pescimoro[Director of operations-Elite], 17 years old Moyinoluwa Arowoshola and 18  years old Alvin won in the male category. 

LOOKS I LOVE:SOLANGE KNOWLES RAVISHES IN YELLOW!

When it comes to style and dressing up,it is mostly the best when your personal style shines through. Music star and DJ Solange Knowles has been known for her very brilliant style that most style enthusiast including myself have actually rated her one of 2012 most stylish. Wether she's out looking all glamorous, the mother of one doesn't loose her street credibility. Above,she looks very hot in yellow floor length pleat skirt and African print crop top matching it with brown strap sandals whilst making her waist the focal point with a brown belt. I really like Solange's look here.

KIM KARDASHIAN CHANNELS EIGHTIES GLAMOUR WITH EASE!

Kim Kardashian
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian hardly gets it wrong. Now channeling the eighties glam look is not an easy fit for any fashionista but Kim K rocked the look in a short leather dress and two-toned Balenciaga  cover shoes. I likey!

LEADING LADIES! OMAWUMI AND WAJE COVERS THE NEW ISSUE OF YNAIJA MAGAZINE


I absolutely love this pair. They are not just friends, sisters like they always tell people but are highly talented. They look good on the cover and even more playful on the spreads inside. I just like the way they always have a hint of African prints in their looks. The shoot was anchored by ace photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi and was styled by the very talented Yemi Olowu and Onyinye Fafi-ObiGreat reads and nice photos. Grab a copy.
