FABULOUSLY SPOTTED:NKIRU ANUMUDU WEARING MARC JACOBS SS 2013
When it comes to fashion, this woman has in every way damaged it. From limited edition pieces to straight off the runway pieces, she has worn them all. At the Ebonylife TV launch, she was spotted wearing this Marc Jacobs monochrome long dress with three quarter hand length and leaving us to imagine what's under in a sheer cut our at the lower part of the dress from his spring summer 2013 collection. Do you think she rocked this dress?

FAB OR DRAB:MO ABUDU
At the launch of her TV channel Ebonylife TV, the media and TV personality Mo Abudu stepped out in a lace trouser suit. You be the judge here... Fab or Drab?
FAB OR DRAB:DOLAPO ONI IN MI-LE
Tv personality Dolapo Oni changed into about three different outfits at the launch of Ebonylife TV channel. But this got me so confused Dolapo is on the petite side and over time has been able to work that size and frame with fashion but this dress in my opinion is a fail. So over to you guys, Fab or Drab???

Nollywood A-lister Genevieve Nnaji was spotted wearing this floor length architectural piece by Deola Sagoe at the launch of Ebonylife TV in Lagos,Nigeria. I love the upper part of this dress but the lower part ain't working for me. Every pother thing from make-up to accessorizing, she scored high notes in my book.

Nollywood actress Rita Dominic is known for her very exquisite style and love for shoes...

Best wishes Rita!!!
FABULOUSLY SPOTTED: MILLEN MAGESE IN FRANK OSODI
New York based top model Millen Magese was spotted looking very bankable in a green floor length lace frock by Nigerian designer Frank Osodi. she looked like the dress was glued to her skin. Finishing her look,Millen went with center parting up-do hair style showing her pearl studs and the perfect nude make up to go. This is a definite example of less it more.

MONTE CASINO
I visited the casino at the Federal Palace hotel once my friend invited me to watch them play. Another time there was an event there and the third time was Monte Casino in Fourways. A busy area in the heart of Johanesburg. Life there must be very interesting with ancient buildings reminding me of those english/european movies centered around the 1960s,1970s and 1980s and i sighted some people playing games looking like they have been there for days and some having fun shopping. While some walking around and doing what i was doing....SIGHT-SEEING. Lol! It's such a beautiful place and as big as a living complex with a very huge casino for the regulars and VIPs,shopping malls, hotels, series of restaurants, club,bars,an underground car park and a very large field like garden and walk area... I had to ask my brother to take me some photos.... Click click click...xx

STYLE FINDS:DIVATUDE SHOES AND PURSES
Okay! Everyone in fashion knows what pearls stand for right? Okay for those who don't, it represents elegance, class and glamour. That's why the Queen of England is always spot on pearls. I was out one night a year or two ago and Amina walked up to me showing me pictures of these beautiful wonder on feet and said to me i make them. I was stunned in admiration. We exchange contact and lost each other until a mutual friend re-introduced us and i thought why keep these gorgeous feet wonders to my self when i can make your day.
STYLE SPOTTINGS:TUNDE EDNUT IN ALL BLACK EVERYTHING
Singer Tunde Ednut's style keeps raking high in my books as the day goes by. From his white and black ensemble at the Headies in 2012 with red pocket square detailing to this all black everything style statement at Iyanya's album launch concert. Black is strong, masculine, sexy, depicts power and confidence. And this is definitely a brilliant way to wear black colour. I love it and wouldn't wear it differently.
Check the singer below at the 2012 Headies [Hiphop world awards].

WHEN DID HE WEAR IT BETTER?-KOKO MASTER D'BANJ
For me D'banj is no doubt one of the best dressed musicians in Nigeria because i don't think there are so many that really impress me with their style. Talented, yes but style compliments it and in that department,i think that koko master D'banj deserves some accolades. D'banj has worn some really nice and exquisite pieces in the past few years. And i think in my style parameter, he deserve a thumbs up. By the way, D'banj must really have a thing for black and sequins. He probably likes attention because as a fashion conscious person,i know that we all like sequins for the attention it drags to us when we make an appearance. Lol! Anyways, he looked good in almost all the photos but please in all sincerity,WHEN DID HE WEAR IT BETTER?

RIHANNA FOR RIVER ISLAND
I like Riri a lot and her style amazes me. I think she's that quirky girl with no definite style which i actually love. There is nothing like having a style that is unpredictable. That's the style of the rising Queen of pop Ms Rihanna. Fashion lovers around the world especially in the UK looked forward to the launch of Rihanna for River Island as it was such a big collaboration. Rihanna who is slowly breaking into the fashion industry with her infectious style has decided to design lots of high halt slits. crop tops, boy-friend shirts, fish nets skirts and so on for fans who want to look like her. And who best to collaborate with than high street fashion house River Island. Good move i must commend but like they say high street is high street... Please no one should give Joan Rivers room to insult them by bring any of these pieces to the red carpet.

DENRELE PAYS WHAT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES AS TRIBUTE TO BFF GOLDIE...
It was my 3rd night in South Africa when i got a bbm from an entertainment journalist Ogagus asking me to confirm if Goldie is alive. I told him to cut the crap and forget all these random death rumours. Nevertheless,i still went ahead with the investigation. Immediately,i sent a bbm to the musician Jaywon and he replied "She dey yankee,but she suppose come back today". I sent Goldie a bbm but it didnt deliver. I contacted a friend of the house Shola(Sir K) who was in London and he said to me, he has heard but he cannot be sure and he doesn't want to believe. Restless me, i contacted Kola of Kollertunes for Denrele's buddy Wale's number and he gave me. I placed a call through immediately to Wale but the number was busy for about five minutes before it connected. And Wale broke the news to me but it was still hard to believe. I got through to Denrele through his driver Ismail and he said "our friend is gone". Now it was so hard to bear. Very shocking and heart wrenching. Goldie was such a good person who says it as it is. Laughs at your not-so-funny jokes, very supportive and a very hard worker who never takes a NO for an answer. Always made statements on the red carpet or on stage when she performs and pheww... we all loved her dance routines when she performs.
Today Goldie is layed to rest finally and my friend Elohor brought to my notice Denrele 's tribute which brought tears to her eyes and she went on and on about how touched she felt. I knew since it was Denrele,it will even break a tortoise back because i know Denrele is a fantastic writter and here he'll be pouring out his heart. I am so touched by the words and i can relate to Denrele because i knew how close he was to Goldie. He actually introduced me to Goldie and since then Goldie has been a good friend not only to me but to numerous people i know today.
The tribute was so touching i have to share here..
"My super star friend sways away and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says "she's gone"...Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as gorgeous now as when last I saw her.
Her slightly disappearing figure and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at that moment, when someone at my side says she's gone, there are others who

FASHIONS NEW PICK:BUNNIES BY MARY
Mary |
I absolute love entrepreneurship and love it when young people venture into new things. Having worked with Mary on several occasions. Either a shoot for a fashion editorial or she's styling and i am filming the behind the scene. I have just penciled down she's a very hardworking girl with so much love for certain things like vintage pieces and accessories. I remember during my photo shoot,she came with a big box filled with accessories.. Lol... Asides all of these, Mary is a Contributing Fashion & Style editor to www.360nobs.com as well as a wardrobe consultant. Today, she formally launches her hair accessories line called “BUNNIES BY MARY”.
BUNNIES by Mary was birthed from her personal love of covering her hair as well as her prominent, undying love for Bows which explains her girlie side. The BUNNY was also created by Maryanne as a way to cover up a bad hair day by the fashion conscious and stylish woman.
The BUNNY has become somewhat of a signature style for the known stylist who has worked on varied shoots, one of which had Nollywood’s favourite princess, Genevieve Nnaji wearing the cutest Orange Bunny. Empire Mates Entertainment’s first lady Niyiola also got an apt leopard ‘BUNNY treatment’ in a photoshoot styled by Maryanne.
The BUNNY is steadily having a cult following which is no surprise as it’s one of the cutest hair coverings which compliments most outfits especially on days when you just can’t find something to do with your hair.
The “BUNNY” comes in various colours and fabrics(seasonal) and it is a one size fits all, easy to wear and can be worn even on a good hair day.... Enough said... Check on them.. and order yours.

FASHION: THE HITS&MISSES AT DAREY'S LOVE LIKE A MOVIE
Sadly,i missed this show but from words i heard it was the best show to be staged in Nigeria so far. But alot of people seem to be upset with my friend reality TV star Kim Kardashian for spending less than 50seconds on stage and approximately less than 1hour in Nigeria. I care less about that... You know am all about the fashion and for starters it's the man of the night;
Darey looked every inch like he owned the night in a well tailored to fit tuxedo in the traditional black and white ensemble. I for one liked the brooch and patent shoes he killed the entire look with. Triple thumbs up for Darey on this one.
