2010 COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA

Been so busy with work that I haven't had time to put this up, the event happened almost two weeks back but anyways these are our picks for the best dressed at the event.

Anne Wintour, Editor at large of Vogue hosted the event and dazzled in this Chanel ensemble.

SJP wowed everyone in her gold Harlston gown which was simply divine.

Nicole Ritchie has definitely evolved into a style goddess and is stunning in this Marc Jacobs creation.

This is one of my favourite looks, Kate Bosworth looks every bit like a Hollywood legend in this Valentino 20s inspired gown.

I was totally shocked to find out that Kerry Washington's gown was done by Gap, the colour against her skin tone is so gorgeous .

So for those of you that may not know her, Chanel Iman is a gorgeous highly successful model and she looked über-fierce in this Micheal Kors jumpsuit WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only someone as fierce as Andre Leon Talley can pull something like this off especially to the MET gala kudos man.................................. and no words for Whoopi Goldberg.................(this is in a bad way!!!!!!!!).

The simplicity in this gown is what I think I love most about this look on Jessica Alba and the gown is by Sophie Theallet for Gap gown.

So I will post details about how you our readers can win free tickets for the SATC show happening here in Lagos so look out for that.

Have a wonderful day guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COCKTAILS AND DRESSES

So sorry for just posting this it should have been up ages ago. First thing all of you must know is that bottom line is its a SALE and its primarily a dress sale with a bit of cocktails on the side.

You can get more info on their facebook page and ogle over the dresses that will be on sale, I will definitely be there and will download all the details and post up a few pictures.

Hope y'all have a fabulous day ahead CIAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Michael Bublé has been on the play list............................

ADIEU TRUE LOVE WEST AFRICA............................ HELLO FLAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!!!!! it seems like forever since I last posted anything up on the blog trust me details of my MIA........ness will be spilled in another post.


So for like 2 months now True Love has been off the market, it seems it just disappeared into thin air and weirdly as it may sound I felt lost not having it there after almost 3 years of buying and subscribing to the magazine.

For me it was so much more than just a magazine, it was Inspiration, Fashion,Career, Motherhood (considering I don't have kids),the Segun Johnson articles, The restaurant reviews all wrapped up in a cute bow and served to me monthly.

So you can imagine my frustration when I couldn't get an explanation and though I tried severally to call and email their offices I didn't get any reply. Almost a week ago I  stumbled upon a very depressing article about Condé Nast and other major publishing houses; Media24 (True Love W/A publisher) who are being affected strongly by the Economic meltdown and have had to close down a lot of their offices.

 But Alas........ all isn't lost Bola Attah the editor of True Love W/A decided to relaunch a magazine she started almost a decade ago  and hence the REBIRTH OF FLAIR. I am more than excited to see what it entails and I have no doubt that I will be subscribing yet again.


I go back to work tomorrow with ambivalent feelings no doubt after being ill for over a week....................... all I can say is I hope to have a wonderful week ahead.

WANNA SEE THE MOST ROMANTIC FILM EVER?????????????

If you are a hopeless romantic like I am you so want to see this short film (for a better version check out the official site).


AMAZING right I know....................... have a wonderful weekend guys cos I definitely am gonna.

D'PRINCE OMOBA

Just stumbled on the video for the hit track OMOBA, I was a bit skeptical about it being well aware of Mo' Hits failings in the video category but the video was pretty alright and the Mount Mo'Hits (Rushmore) concept was pretty original if I do say so myself.

On the whole, I would rate it as a 5/10, you guys should judge for yourselves...........................................

DID I HEAR YOU SAY SEX AND THE CITY 2

So another trailer for the upcoming SATC 2 movie is out and Aidan is in the picture OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the suspense is killing a sister arrgghhhh!!!!!!!!!




MAY 27TH WHERE ART THOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
