Fashion Fixes as easy as 3 - 2 - 1




3 Ways to look sharp:
  • A little pinch at the hem of a pencil skirt or a dress that hits at the knee will make you look curvy no matter your body shape and your outfit more high end. 
  • Cheaper brands hardly make custom-size jackets. This is so that it can accommodate a large cross section of women. Getting rid of some fabric in the upper arm will help create a sharper cut.
  • Because many pieces are made to fit a wide range of shapes, people often complain about having a gap at the back of the waistband of their pants or skirts. A tailor can easily take that in and add flattering darts.  
2 Ways to make your shoes fit so much better:
  • Ever bought a shoe only to find out its snug-fitting? Not to worry, search for a good cobbler. He can lengthen or widen most snug-fitting shoes by as much as half size around N1000. If they are new, you can stretch them yourself. Just spray inside or outside with shoe stretch spray and wear them while they are still damp. The shape of your foot will automatically help soften the leather and break in your shoes. You can also stock a big ball of old newspapers inside the shoe overnight.
  • High heels don't have to hurt. You can shorten some styles by a quarter of an inch. That little bit can change the angle of your shoes and make a big difference.
1 Way to put it all together:
  • Get your clothes professionally pressed. A pro can roll out the lapels, steam the sleeves and remove creases much more thoroughly than you can at home, often for half the cost of standard dry cleaning.

With this few tips, you'll look better and probably snag up that deal you've been dying to get...

Mummy North!

Guys, I have come again o!. This time, its about a certain Mummy North. I will gist you all that happened since yesterday till now. Imagine how just a few photographs can stir up the world. Power of Social Media or perhaps InstaMedia (Instagram) So I was told Mummy North was on her own when Paper magazine walked up to her, requesting that she'd be the cover girl for their #breaktheinternet issue. As a sharp 34 year old nursing mother of Armenian blood, such an offer must not pass her by. Considering the amount she was going to get from it which by now we know would be no chicken fee.  My very reliable sources say it was actually Mama North that suggested the nude photos to The Paper Magazine.  Even its director told us that Mummy North said 'if we are gonna do it, let's really go there'.  According to him, it was Mummy North's idea to take off her clothes and show more butt. She was willing to take off her clothes.... Hmmmm, things we watch on TV. She must have...

#DoubleHustle - Banking meets Hair Fashion

It seems like everyone in Nigeria is an entrepreneur these days. Could it be some sort of trend that will phase out after a while, the liberating and elevating feeling it gives to be addressed as a business owner and an employer of labour? Maybe it is an attempt to break even in the current economy reality we are experiencing, or perhaps an effort to change the stereotypical impression that only white collar jobs are the best.

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY

Its been a minute yeah, I know and I've missed you. After a conversation with some friends, I finally got inspired to write about one of my Living in Lagos Chronicles. As much as every memory of this incident surprises me, I find a reason or two to laugh real hard and even consider acting...lol. The initial plan on this fateful morning was to go to work as usual but then that bad angel whispered evil thoughts of where I could go to and would have more fun (unholy) obviously, #imnosaint!. So I changed routes and headed to ........... story for another day. I had enough opportunities to change my mind because I was so unlucky from the very beginning. First, I had to sit in a bus for 2 good hours trying to wait for passengers and of course they never came. I got impatient, got off the bus and went to some other bus stop. Luckily I found one, it took me to Costain. At least I was a bit close to my destination, Surulere. Then I began to wait again at the Costain ...
