Kim Kardasian ' s interet breaking quest

Ok am all about news write now. Kim K 's images for paper magazine came out some hours ago. Paper magazine retails the magazine for 10 dollars for everyone to share Kim's body. Ok seriously i don't understand why Kim took pictures of sure nature after all the drama and set backs which of course brought her to fame. Why extra fame to break the Internet, with all the money you've made?
I am a lover of nudity and embracing your God gifted talent but Kim this pictures is a another ball game all entirely. Showing your bum and va jj is huge . I had some respect for you Kim but now don't really know where I stand, perhaps until I meet you, then i might have some explanation .This move isint smart , at least I could have endure half nudity as it's the norm in our generation but like they say there's a reason for existence , so guess what Kim , you had your reason.

Roooi Debuts in Africa's prestigous event

Roooi debuted their spring summer 2015 collection, as well as their pre fall 2015 collection at the Hub of Africa fashion week in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. This was an event that hosted only exclusive fashion industry names and press from the fashion conscious continent for a select designers with African inspiration and heritage. The event was indeed spectacular and was hosted at a lush gallery in Addis Ababa's city centre . ROOOI 's collection was like a set from Dior at paris fashion week. Didn't really know that there was an African designer with such broad talents in expression of design with a European twist. The designer brand based in London has worked with the biggest in the African film and music industry, working with the likes of the noble Nollywood star Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, award winning beauty queen and movie producer and actress Yvonne Nelson of Ghana and governmental dignitaries to name a few. I love the way the feathers was in co-operated to the lace and the way he used brocade in such an amazing style. I also heard that the brand is taking a global turn in focusing on the fashion global scale , working with main stream celebs and a few major concessions coming up in Newyork and the UK . Roooi is definitely an ageless and timeless brand in terms of style. I sure bet Roooi is definitely a brand to watch globally and I sure see the likes of Rihanna or even queen bee (Beyonce) in his work. That would be a major breakthrough for the brand and other aspiring African designers.

Hub of Africa Fashion week profile for the spring summer 2015 editorial edition


 The 2014 Hub of Africa Fashion Week took place at Galani Coffee and Gallery in Addis Ababa last week. This was an  “Editorial Edition” which included a special event at Monarch Hotel on October 25th targeting buyers and fashion industry players. The participating designers were Modanik (DRC); Ruald Rheeder (South Africa); Katungulu (Kenya) Yohannes Sisters (Ethiopia) Cepha Maina (Kenya); Roooi(Nigeria/London): and Mataano (Somalia). 
It's amazing to see that there were alot of amazing designers with great talent that took part, but for me personally the designer Roooi was the best in terms of innovation and the complexity in the design process . These designers gave the runway an explosive burst with colours, appliquĂ© and style. The models honestly had a world standard walk. I was truly impressed. 
I have uploaded images of my best pieces from each designers .

In love with ponchos this season


Looking for a very good functional poncho can be tricky. A nice blanket of fabric to match over a pair of nice skinny jeans with boots or heel trainers is every woman's must have. They can be worn over a winter coat or jacket , for that extra warmth. We change our styles according to climateand it's  obviously   imperative to look fabulous no matter the weather and pretty much go with the flow. Burberry currently has nice ponchos BUT the price is a whooping £495 pounds, like seriously how many ladies can afford that? I found some really cool alternatives with obviously the same fabric used and features on Asos boutique.  If you are looking to buy a durable , warm and classy poncho, look no further and purchase the classic blanket of love , all at reduced price to accommodate everyone’s pocket including a free gift to add to it. Really? Theres a variety of them . Here’s the link to one of them . https://marketplace.asos.com/listing/capes/poncho-fabulous-plus-free-gift/1982770?mode=PublishedExisting .
