TRIPLE DELIGHT SHOE GAME-AY,EFE TOMMY&DR SID IN CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN ROLLER SPIKES FLATS

Christian Louboutin Rollerboy spikes £845[sold out]

From the first time i saw these flats from the power house of Christian Louboutin, i went like wow! Shoes have never been this dramatic and cute at the same time. I think the same thing went through the minds of comedian AY and music star Dr Sid when they spotted the shoes. They are so beautiful you almost forget about the £845 price tag. Sadly the shoes are already sold out at the Christian Louboutin online store.

Here's me carrying my Ted bespoken at the Arise Magazine fashion week in 2012.

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.

Darey

 Last i checked, it's very sunny and hot in Lagos and if i can remember, nobody tweeted about a rainy day the night of this event. My question here is, "Are you feeling hot or not" in this ensemble with a thick leather jacket on? Nice pair of Christian Louboutin flats,nice trousers[i suspect zara] and the perfect T-shirt. Without the jacket, it's a stunning casual look for the night which i still think isn't appropriate for such an event. But with this jacket on.... Oh no, epic fail! Dr Sid has rocked better looks in my books.

Dr Sid

 I have been a follower of Waje since i saw her on TV first and i have been disturbing her to slim down. So you can imagine the excitement i feel that my wish is coming to pass. Lovely floor length dress with a lacey upper layer i actually like. But i wish she rocked a pair of patent stilettos/pointies to finish this look not those sandals. Hell no! i dis-agree.

Waje

All for love like a movie,matchy-matchy turtle neck and blazer to matchy-matchy socks and ticket tag/band. Way to go boy! Jokes aside,this boy must be suffering from serious heat. How will you come out looking like you're in borrowed cloths... I mean, a well toned/fitted turtle neck preferably in black would have given him the desired look not this "JOKE"!

Ifeanyi Dike

 Kim must have gone through series of fittings to find the perfect dress for this event but sadly she didn't get the memo that Nigeria especially Lagos is one hell of a microwave at the time of this show. Leather in Lagos? Not werq-ing girl!

Darey and kim Kardashian

 Dj Exclusive isn't only good at what he does but in the style department, nigga gotta have some good scores. Brilliant look and very well put together for the event. Now i need me some sequined blazer.

Dj Exclusive

 I love creativity brought forward and here's one ringing the alarm. I absolutely love this drapping blazer. But the uniqueness didn't shine through the way Mo'Eazy rocked it. I'd rather a perfect skinny cut pant and some boots NOT a sneakers. But i must give him a pass mark for opting for the all black everything.

Mo'Eazy

 Same old, same old... Expected nothing spectacular. I love her loafers though.

Weird MC

 OMG! I love this dress and i think it's such a huge risk to make this dress work but she did it for me. Figure hugging floor length number with heart shape prints in red plus matching red purse. Let me assume the shoes are red.... Now this is what i call understated glamour. love it absolutely.

FASHION: THE HITS & THE MISSES AT THE FLOWER GIRL PREMIER

In Lagos, the red carpet is such a big deal and i trust my ever red carpet ready stars to put their bright foot forward at all times. I watched the trailer of this movie-flower girl twice or trice online and was hoping it'd premier before i relocate but sadly just a few days after i left Nigeria, they held the premier. And from the words on people's mouth via social media, it is a good movie. I am looking forward to it. But my interest more is the FASHION at the premier which held on the 13th of February at the Silverbird Galleria. 

TV Presenter Eku Edewor looked nice in Bunmi Koko but when a particular piece of yours is being over-flogged,it somewhat becomes a crime. In this case, her Valentino pointies. I know this shoe is trending right now amongst a few fashionistas. Overall look, very chic.

Eku Edewor

The movie "it" girl Damilola Adegbite looked to me like she doesnt know her stand when it comes to what to wear. From her facial expression, you can tell she's not quite confident in her dress choice. For a lead character,this dress is a no-no. Better choices out there. And boy, sweetheart needs to hit the gym. You can't keep up like this in such a competitive market.
