  Ok am I the only one who still goes crazy when some good old songs pops up on the radio or tv anyway I'm a 90's chick baby and it shows in my style.

  I'm definitely in love with light coloured jeans since I'm transitioning from neutral colours to pastel and there comes my sudden love for Turban (I promise to do a tutorial on how to tie your turban soon).

  So going with the flow, I decided to wear a long sleeve plaid shirt and light blue jeans completing the look with grey sneaker and turban.

  If I were to define my style, I would say it's modish with a bit of quirkiness as seen in this look. For people who love this,  you don't have to use the entire ensemble,  just improvise this and make it your own style.

  Hello Beautiful readers!

  So I have been eyeing turbans lately, and I decided to try posting about them. I'm usually not a scarf person but it seemed like the right change for me.

  Like most days in school when lecturers feel it's okay to skip class, I called my photographer up ( I think I have them on speed dial lol) and told him we should have a shoot. Already I was wearing my turban and I kept getting compliments like "Oh I love your look", "You look nice"  that made me smile (I mean who doesn't like compliments).

So we picked a simple close space location for the shoot. I wore my white crotchet top tucked in my light blue jeans with a pair of red heels and completed the look with a matching red bag.

  You could easily improvise and transition this to your own style. For someone like me,  I didn't feel like using a belt so I just made do with what I had.

   Always remember your style is a reflection of who you are.

   African fashion is definitely taking centre stage all over the world and thanks to some creative designers, we are able to get lovely ensembles.

    In terms of ankara fashion, I'm 100% in love with ankara shorts, if you ask me, I'll say they are a must-have in every girl's wardrobe. Not only are they easy to wear but also comfortable and stylish.

  They could go from casual to official to party look depending on how you style them. So I'm giving you my lovely readers, the simple four ways to wear your ankara shorts.

• Wear your ankara shorts with matching top/blouse.

• Wear your shorts with matching blazer and you could wear a different fabric as an inner shirt or top.

• Wear your ankara short with a shirt of your choice and don on a jacket if you feel like.

• For a casual look, wear your ankara short with a crop top.

  Remember to wear a nice footwear (heels or flat) and accessorize. There you have it. Simple ways to style your ankara shorts.

  Many of us have the ability to touch lives and influence decisions and people around us but only few put such ability into action or put effort into create a better future for our generation and the next to come.

   To my readers today, even though this is a fashion blog, it's also a medium for me to create awareness on certain issues and give credit to people who deserve to be acknowledged.

I got a chance to interview Wadi who is the CEO of Wadi Ben-Hirki foundation. I met her through one of my social media platform and I was impressed by her zeal to help her people. She's an amazing person and when I interviewed her, she said something "I believe in a better Nigeria and Africa"

Read The Interview Down Below

Please Introduce Yourself
My full name is Wadi Victoria Ben-Hirki. I am the third out of five children. I was born in Lagos on 29th of January, 1997.

  Are You Still An Undergraduate?
Yes, I am studying Accounting in Covenant University. 300 level by August.

Where Are You From And Where Are You Based?

  I am from Adamawa State but live in Kaduna

  So When Did You Start The Charity Foundation?

I started this year May/June at 18

  That's An Early Start. So What Does Your Foundation Aim At Achieving?

Wadi Ben-Hirki foundation exists to improve Nigeria and Africa at large, by improving the lives of the less privileged children and harnessing their untapped talents.

So Is Your Foundation Restricted To Certain Areas?

No I'm not restricted to a particular place but of course, charity begins at home. Starting with the North especially Kaduna and Adamawa.Because I'm from Adamawa and live in Kaduna and because children in the North are most affected because of the insurgency.

So Far, What Have You Been Able To Do?

So far I have been able to visit Faith Works Orphanage Home in Kaduna. Spent Children's day with them. I visited government girls' secondary school Barnawa Kaduna and told them its a Blessing and not a curse being a woman and also how to channel their gifts and talents to the right things.

  I also visited a small community in Iddo, Abuja. There, I met six orphan brothers and was able invite them for my program #everychildisyourchild which held on June 13th 2015. This month, the Foundation visited a family in a village in Kaduna and the foundation is also sponsoring his kids in school. The foundation also visited a small community in Kaduna and next week, we will be going to Adamawa to visit the children displaced due to the insurgency.

  How Do You Get The Means To Fund Them?

Of course, we don't go on outreaches empty handed so we trust God to use people to donate no matter how little it is to ensure that people have better lives to live. At the moment, the Foundation hopes and believes that individuals, organisations and even the governments of many nations will support us in this glorious work of charity.

   You could also take part in this change by donating whatever you have to this foundation GTB bank 0136033085 Wadi Victoria Ben-Hirki (Account name will be changed to Wadi Ben-Hirki foundation as soon as Bank verifies CAC certificate).

  So I try to make this blog for everybody not just women only so this is a little something for the guys.

  If you are guy and you are so into fashion or you want to be more fashionable, these are the top five trends for this season.

Vivid Prints And Patterns

   Prints and patterns are everywhere ranging from bold motifs to camouflage to plaids and many more. Thanks to top designers, you can now style this trend however you want. Let's not forget the adoption of floral prints also but this trend is tricky so remember to stay on the safe side and use only one piece (be it tie, shirt, pants or blazer) of pattern or print if you are not sure how to combine the perfect ensemble.

All White

   This trend aims at creating angels amongst men. Head to toe white might seem like a challenge for most men to pull off so try mixing other shades of white, cream is a perfect example and it's definitely doable. White and off-white shades – including cream, beige and ivory – are perfect for the warmer months so all you do is pick pieces that suit your style.

  Pastels

   For more liberal attitude, pastels are your go-to look, forget what's masculine or not. Now men can try different hues without going bold but definitely looking stylish and sexy as always. Soft hues like sky blue, light pink and other hues are now seen on major runways. If you don't feel confident enough to rock this look, go watch Korean movies and learn from their guys ( lol).

  Bomber Jacket
 
  Who doesn't love a stylish bad boy, well I do I mean I love them. This silhouette has made its mark on the runways, where we saw everything from military-inspired designs (Moschino and some others) to varsity- influenced styles (Haider Ackermann).

  For a casual day out, you could dress this up over a simple jeans and T-shirt and for a night out, try a more versatile silhouette, dressing yours with trouser and shirt.
  
Suit Seperates

   This is definitely in vogue. Lately men have been experimenting using smart separates such as blazers, waistcoats and trousers with less formal pieces for a dressed-down yet refined aesthetic.

  Thanks to designers such as Balmain using different silhouettes,  you could get more laid back feel. This is a trend you should try but be cautious too in order not to make a fashion faux-pas.

  And that's the top five trend for men. Feel free to comment and tell me what trends or style you would like to read about and also don't forget to subscribe.

   I'm guessing most people love summer and one of the hottest pick for the summer are rompers.

   Dated back as 1904, this outfit was initially popular among children but with style ever evolving, teens and adults can have a taste of the youthful feel the outfit gives. Rompers are highly versatile and comfortable and what makes it even more cool is that there's a romper for everybody,  just look for the one that suits you.

  They come in different styles and patterns. Some rompers are mixed with different patterns and prints while some are made of lace, some with patterns like floral prints, aztec , mural and the likes and some come in warmer tones, bold colours or neon colours.

   Regarding style, we have the backless rompers, sleeveless, long sleeve and many more. Pick the one that suits you perfectly.

  You could wear your rompers with sandals for a casual look or a shirt( chambray or plaid, your choice) and for a more outgoing look, pair your rompers with desired heels. Feel free to accessories as you wish.

  Talk about fashion forward. Gone are the days where the mere sight of your bra strap was considered a fashion taboo now recent fashion supports the Free-The-Bra trend. This trend is highly questionable as people keep asking whether to keep it or make it go away.

   But if you ask me, I believe we all have our personal style so if you like it, rock it. Bralettes are quite stylish and comfortable. They are underlined wireless bras that pull over the head.

   You could wear them with skirts, shorts, pants, jackets or under your top, however you like it. They come in various styles and patterns like some are made of lace, prints and other materials.

  Just let me know what you think. Should we make it stay or make it go?.

   Commencing the chronicles of a corporate chick, I'm talking about the latest stylish short suit trend.

   Short suits are not only stylish but comfortable, just ask Rihanna. This outfit has managed to combine corporate, playful and stylish in one ensemble.

  Thanks to creative designers. We now have them in different styles and patterns. They vary from simple short suit to silk made ones, floral print to sequins and the likes. You could also pair with different separates.

  You could easily pair us with a bustier,  button up shirt, tshirt or tank depending on the look you are going for or you could play it bold like Rihanna and go without inner.

  Pick a nice pair of flats, sandals or heels like strappy heels, gladiator heels, platform or the footwear of your choice.
  Remember less is more so when accessorizing, keep it simple with accessories of your choice. Look fab, be fab.
