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...

My Two Kobo Thoughts Thursday for Lovers

How this gist with my colleague and I at work started I don't know but It inspired me to write this. So we were watching a political rally and we noticed one of the prominent people present was busy grinning at his mobile phone while his wife, the first lady of that state was smiling cheerfully while waving the party's flag. My colleague at work concluded that he was probably sexting his bae and couldn't be bothered about the stupid rally anyways. He probably couldn't wait to jet off to meet his bae already. I was amazed at her thought and I argued that he was probably tweeting about the rally, checking updates and reading news online. She disagreed o! She said the average black man is a cheat as long as he has roots from Africa. So I allowed her continue, and she explained that she had heard so many reasons why men cheat and she can only blame the girlfriends or wives. This reminded me of a friend (Tomiwa) that became a serial cheat overnight. His reason.... h...

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY 2

By popular demand, I present to you the concluding part of the blogbuster 'LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY. Click on this link  LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY Honestly, I wasn't hypnotized in any way neither was I under a spell of some sort, at least thats what I tell anyone that asks. But was I? A question I keep asking myself till date, I hope at the end of this,you might be able to give me an answer. Story begins..... We drove off to somewhere in Coates Str, EbuteMetta,Lagos Mainland to be precise.We got off the car and made an agreement not to expose the source of the money to the baba, we would tell him that we found the money in a land we plan to buy in Agbara, Lagos. We walked into a sawmill then to a small yard was where we stopped. As we waited for the almighty 'BABA' to come out, I quivered in fear. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, 'I better opt out now', I said to myself. Just as I was about to let my thoughts ...

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
