       Most women are afraid of getting a pixie haircut and I don't blame them, I was once like that but I got rid of my fear last week and I got to say I'm loving my new look.

   I guess I just wanted to try something different and since my stylist said I couldn't do anything with my natural hair, I decided to try a pixie hairstyle. I have to admit I wasn't really feeling my look immediately it was done but I felt much better getting a closer look when I got home.

Then I fell completely in love with my new hairdo the next day, when people kept on admiring my hair and I felt much better knowing I didn't have to spend endless hours combing my tangled weave and it kind of gave me a new personality if you get what I mean.

So basically all I'm trying to say is don't be afraid to try something new especially the pixie look. I understand most women worry about it exposing their face shape and making them look like they have a fat face but with the help of a good stylist, you would be able to pick the right pixie hairstyle that suits you, all you have to do is:

• Get a good stylist ( and I don't mean a carpenter, get someone who is very experienced with the scissors and comb)

• Browse through the web and catalogues for hair inspiration (but you need to know that not every hairstyle you see can look exactly the same on you, some are natural hair or wigs)

• Pick the style that suits your face shape and if you are clueless about that, ask for opinion from people around or preferably your stylist.

  Be bold and enjoy rocking your new pixie updo.

    Essentially being a college student makes you more aware of your fashion sense and looking for the perfect outfit to wear to class or out and about in school could be such a great hassle, trust me I know from experience so basically every once a week, I try to write about what I wore on a particular day. 

  Today's OOTD is every girl's signature look 'The high waist jeans ( Aphrodite as some call it) and a top.

  This look could go from casual to party depends on how you style it. For a casual feel, pair your high waist jeans and top with a nice pair of sandal or flat and for a more outgoing look, pair your outfit with desired heels. You could tuck in your top or blouse and you could also swap your blouse for a nice crop top. Remember to accessories, less is more but a statement necklace could also add spark to the outfit.

   I decided to create a new segment on the blog where I get to interact with fashion designers, ask what inspired them and just chat in general.

   Today on 'Meet The Designer' I decided to interview an upcoming designer but I have to say he is very talented. Read the interview below.

Please Introduce Yourself

My name is Ifeanyi Dominic Nwogalanya

What is The Name Of Your Clothing Line And Are You Into Unisex Clothings Or A Specific Line?

So You Are A Student, What School Do You Attend And What Course Are You Studying

University of Lagos, Department of English to be precise.

When Did You Start Designing

Well, I started designing 2years ago,that was when my flare for the fashion and desire to be a part of the fashion industry began. I realised that I was not tall enough to be a model and had no interest in photography, I decided to design and had a real knack for it. Now I have a strong passion for fashion designing and I'll make sure I push my career to its climax.

That's Good So Do You Have Any Role Model

I don't have a particular role model but I like to think Kanye West and Tinubu would take the lead spots, the rest I'll still keep to myself.

  Back in the days, sneakers were restricted to the gym,  basketball players and 12 years old but not anymore. This shoe trend has made a huge comeback and it's definitely making it's way into every man's closet.  However, despite the growing intelligence in man's fashion sense,  some can't help but make a huge fashion faux pas, so guiding you, here are your sneakers do's and don't.

 Stick To The Classics
   Classic sneakers are worn with anything. We are talking about the basic, low cut, lace up without any glitz. They are definitely timeless like Converse lace up. One simple colour goes with anything from tailored trousers to jeans. Feel free to dress it up with a blazer for an official look or shorts for a summer feel.

Skip The Visible Socks
Even though socks and sneakers are a match made in heaven, visible ankle socks are definitely a no-no except you are trying to pass as a kindergarten student. The invisible socks is a simple and makes a huge difference.

Dress Down To Dress Up
  Before wearing sneakers with just about anything was considered a fashion crime but not recently.  Sneakers gained versatility shedding their athletic coat to being more refined.  The right sneakers can transform a buttoned up look to something more practical and comfortable definitely a better alternative to stuffy dress shoe.

Separate Sports From Street
  Men need to invest in at least two pair of sneakers. One for sports,  the other for outings. Most men never bother to wear a cool pair of sneakers outside the gym, making their sneakers do double duty as a street wear. It's best to make clear distinction in your shoe collection. 

Don't Opt For Hybrids
  Hybrid cars: Yes Hybrid sneakers: NO
  The combination of sneakers and dress shoe is definitely a no, why wear something that looks like a clunky block of wood. These shoe which attempt to look sophisticated are the types you see on clueless boys wearing to school or to their first job interview.  I say pack it up and dump in the thrash.

Stay Right There In The Court
  High tops have slowly made their way to the streets in an offensive manner,  pairing with hipster skinny jeans to hip hop jeans big enough to fit a family of three. If you don't want to sacrifice fashion for function,  do pick a pair of b-ball shoes. When you done playing games,  leave the shoe in your locker.

Crop And Roll
  As soon as you have mastered the art of unnoticeable socks, feel free to go for a pair of cropped trousers or gently roll up a pair of slim jeans. It creates a tailored silhouette that draws attention to your shoe but it usually only works with clean, sophisticated sneakers in single colour.

Keep The Graphics Away
   Perhaps the worst kind of sneakers are the overly designed ones with colour combinations that could cause epilepsy of the eyes. These shoes are way too bright and awkward so most men get the hint and stay away while some think they are taking a walk on the wild side to be daring. I say be daring but not blind. This serves as a lesson that you could go bold with your style but that doesn't translate into a sneakers dipped in paint.

   And I hope with this, you could pick the right pair of sneakers and strut your style. Remember to subscribe to the blog for the latest on fashion. Enjoy your weekend.

     On today's who wore it better, we are looking at the denim on denim trend which I suppose is in vogue courtesy Rihanna and Beyonce.

    The Kardashian sisters are seen wearing matching outfit with their long straight hair while Queen Bey rocks hers with a blonde updo.

  Who do you think wore it better? Let's see your comments.

     Yay! Another beautiful Monday to pick our WCM and I'm really excited about today's pick.
