Oleku

We all have those days we want to be comfortable and look chic at the same time, the good news is now you can! The Iro and Buba is the loyal and steadfast fashion staple of the Nigerian Woman. Its been around forever and will still be long after now. Its comfortable, chic and hides most of our flaws (especially the tummy), the only problem is it makes you look a bit older. Que the 'OLEKU'. 

Oleku is a brilliant take on the iro and buba trend. Its edgy, you can make it your own, dress it up or down and its super comfortable.

There are so many takes on this trend right now but I love it in its  traditional form, the way it was meant to be; 'OLEKU' at its best; simple, comfortable and chic.













Here are some other designs

Hey people, so sorry i have been out for a while, was ill but i'm better now thank God and back with your weekend style. Its all about jumpsuits/playsuits this weekend, the onesie is fun and flirty, can be dressed up or down with flats or wedges and is endlessly saucy. I chose one in a muted color and paired them with neon wedges (neon is a huge trend right now); keeping every other thing simple.

Love y'all and have a great weekend.......

Strike a balance between casual and dressy: mix in fashiony elements like cat eye sunglasses, color block wedged heels and a statement neck piece with a simple sheer/chifffon blouse, light make up and loose, tousled hair like my muse Jenna Dewan.

Have a great Weekend

Cap-toe Shoes

Many accessory trends require you to turn your attention to your wrist or neckline but the latest trend forces you to pay attention to your feet, and I promise it is worth it. Not only did major fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent show cap-toed heels in their spring shows, but the A-list like Alexa Chung, Beyonce and her bestie Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian have been spotted giving this trend their own twist.
There are a number of really fun ways to try this trend. For instance, you could pick a pair of cap-toe heels that match your outfit. On the other hand, you could pick a pair of heels that match a part of your outfit Or, if you want to make a bold statement, you can pick a pair of colorful shoes that set off a similarly colorful outfit.
