BLACK DENIM SHIRT

Everybody, or lemme say most people now wear denim clothes.......jackets,shirts and all. I discoverd people just clad in blue denim clothes including me and i found out it's actually turning into a stereotype. That's bad I believe.

Thinking outside the box, i decided to post something on black denim. There should be a turn around 2013 people,.......lol

An X-Large selection of goods from Louis Vuitton for this Pre-Fall 2013 Collection. Silk print shirts, fur hood parkas, quilted bomber jackets, Charlie Brown Zig-Zag knitwear and plenty of 70s tinged suits to keep you smart. See more pictures below, who knows you might decide to start dressing like these come 2013.

I love this shirt and in fact I'm sure there's no dispute it's really stylish. I would personally prefer to button the shirt up,so I'll pose more like a stylish dapper geek with white lens glasses......just saying ,my STYLE

I love the bag, I've always loved bags like this and that's why I got myself one today (coffee brown-colour)....ready to rock 'em soonest.

Me love double-breasted jacket anytime anyday

This last picture is my favorite.....****.......a very nice patterned sweater, army green trousers and some dope, bad-ass boots. #STYLE#
Please dont look at this pictures for fun people......get insight on how to improve what you wear everyday, everytime, and also how you combine what you wear, you dont actuaaly have to knoe fashion too well to be 'a dapper dude or lady', it just takes little creativity.just saying tho...lol
Have fun people.

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.

TRENDWATCH: SUNDAY FASHION IN COVENANT UNIVERSITY

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.
