Peep Into 2018's trend

"Peep into 2018"
Happy boxing day world. Its everyone's wish to find something they desire in one of those gift boxes they get today, that's if they got one anyways. But how about if you could see right through that box just before you open it huh? I guess thats what we are about to do to 2018's trend. Just a peep into some of the fashion trends we might likely encounter in the course of the year. 2017 was wonderful with off shoulder tops, peplums, ripped and distress denims,  the bleached ones,  vintage wears, the kimonos,  crop tops, jump suits and so on. Not like these are fading away entirely they might still be in vogue.
Without wasting much of your scrolling time lets take a look at some of the trends we might encounter in 2018. So be on the look out.


MIXED PRINTS
You know this fashion thingy, some might choose to say its a statement,  some say its bla bla bla. I personally do not have any definition for it but if I were to il say its like a flowing ocean current that pushes us Which ever way it wills. You didnt hear me say we are Slaves, did you?



Now for the MIXED PRINTS we all would say thats not something to go by. You'd suggest maybe a black or white or denim sort of to go with a print. But I think by 2018 we gonna be exploring the full potentials of mixing prints.
But theres a thin line between mixing prints and disturbing the eyes. Im giving you an expose into 2018's trend but I wouldn't leave you to do it all alone. THANK ME LATER *smiles*
Tips to wearing the MIXED PRINTS and looking chic!

1 . Mix & match prints according to colors and textures, not the prints themselves; check for the dominant colours and the minors this is where the COLOUR WHEEL comes in(check the previous blog) the texture of the fabric matters too. Does the thicker one sit on top or the base, definitely the base. And rule number MUST "dont over do it"
2. Different textures, BUT mix on the same color palette (different patterns, of slightly same colors)

4. Stripes – are the easiest way to mix
prints, as they’re the basic definition of a print, which makes them super versatile against any other. They look amazing when mixed with:
florals
tropicals
dots
different stripes
checks
graphic
animal print

So the tale of MIXED PRINTS and RULES is a story for another day. Next trend you might possibly encounter is the

DENIM
The denim is here to stay I guess.  Every day brings us to a new style for the denim, a new trend,  a new vogue. The denim has proven to be versatile in clothing ranging from denim suits, bags, shoes, sneakers, tops, skirts, pants, still waiting to see the denim interior of a car (thats if it doesn't exist already).


SATIN AND SHiNE
The satin as we all know is a fabric quite breezy but theres a magic it has. The satin brings out the figure and still blends it into a sorta silhouette. 2018 might experience a lot of satins. Ranging from the gowns to the short gowns, to the tops, I guess shorts as well.


TULLE
The tulle has been there for so long but it's back to stay perhaps. Thats another we might meet so get ready. The tulle can be worn with a top, could be worn with a shirt or Tee. But remember rule number "MUST"; don't over do it, you don't wanna be looking like a ballerina.  The tulle can come as an attachment to the main dress. Like in this tulle scoop neck long sleeve mid calf casual.(last tulle pic )



THE FRINGE
Pardon me fringe lovers , the fringe reminds me of contemporary restaurant curtains in this my part of the world. The fringe made its way towards mid 2017 and I think it's full potential is going to be more explored by the coming year. The fringe could be attached at the cape, the dress end, the sleeve, all around the dress,  could even be used to create our highly adored peplums.


I guess we are a bit ready right?  Cheers! !!! See you in 2018.

5 REASONS WHY I DONT WANT TO GET MARRIED

 5 REASONS WHY I DONT WANT TO GET     MARRIED(THE ALTER EGO ISSSUE)    A couple of weeks back I was on my way to Metropolitan Supermarket where I went to get some hair products for my hair. I alighted from the Tricycle popularly know as #KEKE in this part of the world and was about to pay the driver when a feminine voice interposed; "il take care of it". I turned around to find my friend Ruth (real name withheld) standing beside me. To cut the long story short, I learnt that she was going through some crises in her marriage. She couldn't help but show her sadness in form of tears that rolled down her cheeks while she talked. And I was compelled to write something about Marriage.    I questioned more than a couple of people to give me reasons why they wanted to get married. But surprisingly enough some of them never wanted to get married and with legit reasons. Most of their reasons all boiled down to what I'll call the #ALTER_EGO issue. Now before ...

"ACRIMONY" the Movie Controversy

   Have you ever asked for a die-hard movie lover and I didn't present myself to you? Well im so much a sucker for movies but about a few weeks ago, I was sucked up in thought after I was done watching the highly controversial movie ACRIMONY. And it dawned on me more like a self realisation that in as much as I can cry when I watch a sober movie, I can equally get very upset.  After much thought I decided to do a review of this movie based on my personal judgement and a few others. Just before I begin to add my own "versy" to the already existing controversy, Here is a a brief synopsis of the movie plot 'ACRIMONY' for the benefit of those who have not seen it yet. As the clearly aggrieved Melinda relates her story to the shrink, the story flashes back to the early days of her relationship with Robert (Antonio Madison, playing the younger version of the character), whom she meets when they're both in college. The young Melinda (Aijona Alexus, who seems...

Pick-Up line or FuckedUp line

Okay, today I decided to take a brake from fashion and how we wear what we wear. Reason being that, im beginning to realise that most of us even after appearing appealing to the eyes; fine, overly dressed and with a lot of charisma Actually do not know how to talk. And by talking I meaning having right Pick-up lines or Chyking(like my Nigeria brothers would call it). Cos frankly I think most of you wouldn't have been born if the only line Daddy used was "You are the Sugar in my tea" which tea please? ? #thinking. Let me pause a Sec to explain why I think so: Did you know just about yesterday, out of the 7billion people in the world, in a corner of Uyo Nigeria there was a certain guy who told a girl "Baby im not staring at your boobs, im only using my eyes to find a way into your heart" Prior before now I felt like those lame pick up lines only existed in comedy movies or vocals of Okon Lagos aka Bishop (our Nigerian kevin Hart) but yesterday got me thi...

Why We Fall In Love With The Wrong People

There happens to be a lot of uncertainty resulting into questions when it comes to this Falling in love thing. Its either a case of: "Falling in Love is beautiful but what if I'm falling into the wrong hands?" Or "Sometimes the person you fall for isn't ready to catch you." Some other times its: "Bottom line,we never fall for the person we are supposed to".    Now this brings me to the point of interest. Have you ever Wondered why we often fall in Love with the people who don't Love us back? Chase people who don't want us?  I could still recall way back in highschool, I use to have this beautiful seat mate(my young eyes really admired) who really was so into me but I never treated the feeling with any much respect, perhaps cos I was the one being chased? or maybe I wasn't just cutout for any of those childhood dramas. But one amazing thing was 'she never stopped'. This is same case with many of us(men/women). Many...

CROCS AND HOW TO WEAR EM!!

CROCS OR NAH! Okay, today I was sitting with my friend and the sister came along. She wanted to go get food and since we were just a bit free at the time we decided to tag along on her request. While we walked down my friend kept saying Hi to almost err one, so there was a repetitive momentary stop we always had to observe to wait for her. While I waited for her with the sister I couldn't help but notice the CROCS she had on. I really don't do well with compliments though but I had I to tell her how nice they looked. Because she wore em neatly and correctly.   Now im not a croc fan, to be earnest enough I dislike them and I even dislike them the more the way some people get to wear them. Now the multi coloured rubber clogs which made way into the light in the year 2002 has been overly abused and in  #LASISI_ELENU'S voice il say "im so upset right now!". How can you wear a shirt buttoned to the neck, wear a coperate pant neatly ironed and shirt neatly tucked i...

RoadsideOpinions: One Minute Man

" Says he can go for hours but pops before the toaster does"- Kermit the frog It is no more news that a lot of things are wrong in my country. Ranging from the religious crisis to misappropriation of funds and lack of  intercourse between the three tiers of the government to conceive effective synergy. Which do I talk about and leave the other? Is it the People who frown like they own the vehicle when they order Uber,Opay etc or the ones that look at you like your brain is a vacuum when you try to flag down the Keke (stop that  nonsense)they Ordered from Opay. Well that's not where the problem lies. The major problem my country faces is these people who Keep polluting the peace with a lot of noise about "doing your work Kakaraka as a man" You don't know them? Herbal drugs oooo.  Here's  from me to the ONE MINUTE MAN. You hear things like : " You no go fit do your work as a man" "Every time your wife touch you,you go say you dey ...

Before I proceed il like to take the time to sincerely apologise for leaving my readers with nothing to read and catch up on. Good thing is im back for better and im back for you ♥.     Now take a close look at this picture and tell me what you noticed. I know the traffic would be very congested with the number of people who noticed a green light first. Some others might notice the individuals Resin glasses, but that's not it.

That's not a jacket.    You know the shirt on shirt is a style which is quite delicate, meaning that with just a slight error everything gets messy and not nice to behold. There's a thin line between looking cool and looking stuffed up in this kinda style. Wearing a s...

THE CONFESSION STORIES: She Made Me Do IT

 CONFESSION: SHE MADE ME DO IT "I promise to tell the truth, only the truth, and nothing but the Truth" There's a first time to everything right? Maybe my first time was behind time or perhaps it was at the right time but the first time I was touched by a girl, female, woman, lady,which ever you want to call it was too intriguing that I can barely forget.  Maybe you know my name but for people who don't, thank God. Just describe me as (W) and for privacy sake which matters in this situation, this lady would be described as (W). Confusing yeah? Read on! I'm sure when it comes to sexually oriented contents or that have a bit of  erotism, you hardly get confused even if I said "Men are swords" (now you're trying to read a dirty meaning into that, *Laughs* means nothing any ways)    I was in Junior Secondary School at the time. Smart,Quiet and  Naive would be the adjectives that best described me. Plus I was very antagonistic towards girls and m...

YOUR SELF ESTEEM AND YOUR WARDROBE

YOUR SELF ESTEEM AND YOUR WARDROBE Walk into any fast food restaurant around you or perhaps pay the cinema a visit. You are sure to find the following set of people; Guy and Girl sitting and talking. Most times it always seems like the guy is trying to convince her to believe something. She smiles at intervals and then maintains composure. I call these set of people the LOVERS. Asides the LOVERS we have those that come all the way down from their houses to these public places to charge their phones.  I'd call em the PACIFIERS because they're so obedient and try to please err one around. The waiters or security most times are good at ordering these ones around knowing fully well that they wouldn't protest or argue since they are only charging their devices and paying no dime. But out of all the categories of people you find in these public places, there's a category of interest and it's the STEAMERS. I call these ones the steamers because they feel so HOT, sexy, a...
