Funny Picture of the Day

I just saw this on a friend's BBM display image and it made me laugh out loud. I'm on my way to a meeting. All I have had today is Tea and the sunning burning heat that can fry a chicken, so my day isn't fun. But this was funny because of the image and my state of mind and body.

Asakeoge Presents "Timeless Heritage" - Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

The lady behind the label Asakeoge, London-based designer Asake Ogoro presents us with her 21-piece collection Spring Summer 2012 “Timeless Heritage” dedicated to the matriarchs in her family.

“My grandmother passed on a fashion legacy to my mother and her sisters and this was passed on to me. Each dress has been named after these seven women,” says Asake of the collection.

“I have drawn inspiration from nature, a tropical paradise setting with a colour palette of red, blue and yellow; yellow for the sun, blue for the skies and ocean and red for the sunset, flowers and passion.”

Staying true to the Asakeoge ethos of using bold bright colours, these pieces are the core of a 21 piece collection. The timelessness is conceived in the use of luxurious French silk, French cotton and silk jersey made into garments with classic silhouettes that would stand the test of time. Less is more as the bright colours, soft flowing fabrics and bright prints speak for themselves.
With pieces ranging from evening wear, bridal, red carpet to day wear, there’s something for every woman.  You are not afraid to stand out because the Asakeoge woman is a trendsetter not a fashion follower.

Stunning beauty, Alexandra Nwokedi emerges winner at the 'Face of Sleek 2011' competition

24 year old stunner from Imo State, Alexandra Nwokedi, instantly won over the judges and audience alike on Sunday the 27^th of November at the phenomenal Face Of Sleek Nigeria 2011 grand finale ‘Symphony Of Style III’ event at Harbour Point, V.I.

A qualified lawyer, Alexandra glided effortlessly to win the beauty contest, and was selected – no, unanimously chosen – from thousands of aspiring models all over Nigeria to become the ambassador of Sleek Studio, the nation’s best selling hair and makeup brand.  For the next twelve months, her face will launch innovative hair and beauty products from Sleek Studio, and she is truly set to take the modeling world by storm. And of course she will enjoy her brand new car and her all-expenses paid trip to the UK to take part in London Fashion Week, generously provided by sponsors Kia and Air France / KLM respectively. Not to mention her year’s supply of fabulous Sleek Studio makeup, hair and new skincare products!

Best described as an ‘elegant explosion of colours, style, beauty and variety, and everything else that is Sleek Studio’, Sunday’s extravaganza featured outstanding performances from the likes of Tiwa Savage and WizKid, and the surprise UK ‘Quick Change’ act. The super glam and uber fab guests included designers, business moguls, elites and top fashion/beauty lovers and entrepreneurs.

“Symphony Of Style III was also an exciting celebration of two incredible milestones for our beauty business, which we are delighted to have achieved a year ahead of schedule,” said Barr (Mrs) Ify Ugochukwu, MD of Sleek Studio Hair.

“When we founded Sleek Studio four years ago, a major ambition was to create and launch a line of hair extensions that had the look and feel of premium ‘Brazilian’ human hair; yet was made of synthetic fibres and available at affordable prices.  Introduced in September 2011 ‘Style Star’ is our new synthetic weave line which consists of over five stunning styles, available for just N1,000 each.”

Sleek Studio MD for Makeup and Skincare, Dr (Mrs) Ebele Ugochukwu added “Another ambition was to research, produce and introduce our own line of skincare products, developed to address the needs of the wide variety of black skin types. And fresh off the production line is our brand new ‘S.Studio’ skincare line for men and women. It is the answer to dull skin and consists of an exfoliating range and a lightening range….your face will thank you!!”
