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...

#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.

For The Love of Jordana (True Red and Holiday Red)

I'm writing on something a bit different today, and like my blog description says "This, that and so much more". So every now and then I'll be dropping some beauty product reviews, food recipes and and travelogue.  This is my first, so after you've read, tell me what you think. I've been itching to review this product a long time ago but I wasn't convinced....yet. Until I purchased two new shades which I really love. This product is not as popular as MAC, Wet n Wild etc but it is very affordable, I got mine 500Naira in one of Lagos most popular markets, Balogun in Nigeria.
