TIPTON AND CO, LEATHER CAMERA STRAPS

Bryan Bowie’s Tipton & Co. makes leather products and what caught my eye was his leather camera strap. Made with a single piece of heavyweight wax and oiled English bridled leather, they are all about toughness and durability. The edges are coated in black and lightly burnished to ensure comfort when wearing it around your neck. Choose from 28 or 34-inch lengths as well as finished or unfinished edges with a split ring lug. Made in the U.S.A. Now available online.
    I'm sure leather products like this are also made in Nigeria, but I havent seen any. I'll keep my eyes open and let you guys know asap and in case anyone knows, just contact me and I'll blog about it.
Leather straps like these could be used to enhance vintage dressing for camera owners, you know. SEE MORE INTRIGUING PICTURES......






TRINE LINDEGAARD SPRING SUMMER 2013 MENS COLLECTION

Hello guys, hope y'll had a nice day? Anyways, I got these pictures from ONB website, so I thought I should let y'll see what Trine Lindegaard's label has got for her spring summer 2013 mens collection.
   First and foremost, I love the fact that the collection is so african-inspired, you will understand that more when you see more pictures. Trine Lindegaard is a danish fashion designer that resides in London, I guess.
The collection in my opinion, is obviously contrived to charm because of the colourful vibrant choice of fabric with simple but unique designs on 'em and patterns. However, I might not be able to wear some of the clothes....don't get it twisted here, just follow me........more pictures!!!!!!
 This is GAY mahn!!!!!! HaHan

 I love these ones.....really nice and simple



 I'm so not gonna wear this......they are freaking gay, Kanye wore something like these in 'Niggaz in Paris' tho, not insinuating anything tho,at least he got Kim pregnant!!! Just saying!!!!!!!Looooooool

ME, MYSELF AND I

Hello guys,guess you'll had a good day? kkk, I was kinda bored today, so to make use of my time, I decided to style myself up with what I've got at home. This was what i did basically......I went to grandma's wardrobe, got a kampala material.....about 2 yards so I went straight to a tailor friend of mine to sow a trouser (a legging) for myself (I can sow,not perfect though but still learning). Got that done!
To spice up the idea of the oufit I brought out this big shirt from my wardrobe even though I have been avoiding the shirt for years, I then wore my vintage shoes with the oufit, topped it up with an Awolowo glasses, had the gold wristwatch since secondary school ......Enough of the talking, check out the pics, poor photography though but, no big deal, was just playing around even though the inspiration was vintage......loooooooool.
 In essence, it's not actually difficult to know or decide what to wear, just creative.
Stylist: Moi
Photographer: The gate-man in my house......loooooool. More pics below

DOLCE AND GABBANA BY GRADO LABS MAHO GANY WOODS HEADPHONES

When modern design began to creep into the world of headphone construction, the audio quality and output of the headphones, at times, was sidelined in favor of exterior look. While this is fine for many, we simply refuse to forfeit sound for beauty. Collaborative headphones rarely provide both sound and design in a balanced manner, but exceptions do exist.
Take this collaborative headphone project by Brooklyn’s GRADO Labs and the luxury house Dolce & Gabbana, the DS2012. Based on the GRADO Reference Series, the DS2012 headphones sit well in the reference audio category. The use of mahogany wood on the cups provides a unique sound signature that will appeal to almost anyone. The open-air” technology on the DS2012 allows for clearer sound reproduction for both the high and low frequency bands.
Most important: Dolce & Gabbana stay committed to quality by aligning themselves with GRADO Labs. We tip our hat to them for refusing to compromise on sound.
If the DS2012 is more than your wallet can handle, we recommend the GRADO SR80 headphones. Their $99 price tag makes them one of the best entry level headphones on the market today.

Hello guys, Happy Independence day Nigeria!!! I dont know what y'all will be doing to celebrate today,(you could send me a tweet @dammie1904,email or just comment on this post on how ur day went down by the end of today) but I might be going for a lecture/parley here in school and it's going to be boring!!! Trust me, this is not the first time and considering the fact that I'm now in 300L I know what the lecture is going to be about.
If you gonna be going out to have fun make sure you dress to kill, that's kinda my motto; even though you dress simple make sure it's superb and intimidating. That's why this blog is here PEOPLE!!! WHEEL A TREND, SET A PACE with what and how you dress. Pray for NIGERIA and let's be good and please don't slander this country..... That's that about that.
      Yesterday;Sunday was a great day for me mainly because apart from the fact that I made alot of friends, it was a freestyle sunday as regards fashion/dressing for students of Covenant University. This is because every last sunday of the month, students can actually clad in any traditional wear of their choice. The most interesting part of this is that people actually dress in thier local or lemme say native attires with respect to various tribes, culture...
         Anyways, I had lots of fun taking pictures and meeting new people even though we are in the same school.......c'mon C.U. is big. See pictures below....but please I used by ipad to take the pictures/blog so do not mind the edit tags on the pics.thanks.
