MONOCHROME

Hi guys! its 2 days to the end of the year so we decided to do a post on two colours that everybody tends to wear at a point in their life.

Black and white, to me Black is that go to colour at anytime cause it's neutral and doesn't show dirt.  

A black ensemble would make a nice fashion statement but when it comes to Aunty White #what I call white colour # it must be done with caution if not one may end up looking rough and may portray one as a person without a fashion sense,so let's strike a balance by using both a white piece and black piece of clothing to make a beautiful,modest and simple look that can be worn at any time. I made use of a black pencil skirt and a white see-through chifon top.

SUNDAY SLAY LOOK

Hello lovelies!I am SUPEEEEEEEER happy!! about today's post because finally after 6 months LEEMA and I happen to be in the same place at the same time.Today's post is about our supposed EID OUTFIT which did not leave the tailor's shop until few weeks ago which was originally a SKANT(Combination of a skirt and pants) but the tailor felt he could remake it  into what we have here and it turned out beautiful. I rocked my mine with a blue body top and a lemon green scarf with black heels while LEEMA slayyyyyed hers with sneakers,a white veil and a blue body top as well.

WAIST COAT FEVER

Happy Friday People!!! Hope the week hasn't been too stressful. Harmattan is here and would be around for a while, so I decided to come up with more stylish pieces for this sweeeet weather.So go get all those over sized sweaters,kimonos and waist coats!!

"Go and wear your sweater the weather is cold this morning"happens to be one of my first memories of wearing sweaters but as time went by it didn't only serve as a protection from the cold,it became a wonderful piece of clothing that can be worn by all Ages,sizes and races. Sweaters are Not only comfortable but stylish and can be worn on different occasions.

VINTAGE SHIRT

Who say hijabis can’t have fun like other people? Then that person hasn’t met this girl call ‘LEEMA’. How are you doing lovelies? Hope y’all are having a fulfilled weekend? Any owanbe or Ya just chilling with friends? Well yesterday was my ‘’ME DAY’’ yes I made that up. A day I get to give myself some good threat.

This ME DAY was actually motivated by OMOTOLANIE, she is having this NOVEMBER HAPPINESS CHALLENGE on her blog here. And the DAY TWENTY challenge was to go out alone either to a restaurant, cinema or any place of your choice. Well if I was in Lagos would have optioned for the beach, since there is no beach in Abuja and I still wanted to do something with water so I decided to go to this cool place to chill by the poolside, well I ended up swimming!

Well I didn’t jump into the pool in those clothes. Here is one of my HIJABI STRUGGLE, my love for swimming combined with the strange looks and anxiety I get when I wear clothes for swimming *covers face*. More reason why I went on a Friday and during work hours when I know people won’t be around to stare at a strange girl all covered in strange swimming wears *hahahahaha

Do I still need to talk about what I wore *sigh* decided to keep it simple in this vintage shirt and loose pants.

SO LADIES? What do you do for fun? Do drop your comments and tell us what you feel about today’s post and what you will like to see more.

ONE SKIRT TWO WAYS.

Dressing modestly (and fashionably) these days is an art form. Most of us are not willing to go through  the effort it takes to overcome the challenges and dress with grace, mystique, and dignity. Contrary to popular belief, "modest" and "fashionable" are not enemies. Decide what your standards of modesty are, and find trendy pieces that fit within those standards. 

Skirts are a fashion staple in many women’s wardrobes, but, as the hem line gets shorter, the more concerned we get about showing too much skin and at the same time difficult to take eyes off while shopping.
Styled this *not too long* skirt in two ways and decided to share with you all.

 Do have a lovely day lovelies *muah*

XOXO

BECOMING ROYAL IN BLUE

Jeans and other types of pants have been known to be comfortable for our day to day activities but Skirts are considered to be feminine and elegant,its a must have for every lady.

We have styled a straight Maxi skirt in one of our previous posts but today our focus is on the one-stand out-style which is the ASYMMETRICAL SKIRT,it is a beautiful,interesting and unique piece of work that can be worn by all body types all you have to do is pick the style that accentuates your best assets and hides your unflattering problem areas.

 Let's look at some few things to consider when choosing an Asymmetrical skirt

   1) Have a budget, know how much you would like                to spend.

2) Make sure you try the skirt you like,find the style that looks best on you.For skinny people like 'LARA' go for an Asymmetrical skirt with ruffles which would give you an illusion of a FULLER look and if you are a little plump go for a skirt with a shorter hem going as high as the Mid part of your legs. 

3) Think of how frequent you are going to wear the skirt(daily,weekly...).Look for a skirt of good fabric.

4) Color! look for color that flatters you.

Hope you enjoy this post as much as I enjoyed reading it and taking the pictures.And do like our facebook page    https://mobile.facebook.com/leemlar?view=page&ref=m_notif&notif_t=page_user_activity and follow us on google+.

ONE PANT DIFFERENT STYLES

Matching colours has always been the biggest brain raking of all time in fashion history.It ain't easy to do at all. There came a time known as *colour blocking* and it was trending for quiet some time. Coloured pants are beautiful but styling it is another math calculation.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO RE STYLE YOUR ASOEBI. PART 2

You know how you think you need to buy new clothes everytime you are going for a party because people have seen the old ones on you?

No need for that,You can re-rock your Asoebi as much as you like, but at least change the look so it won't look like a uniform.

Today on the blog we will show you how to restyle your old asoebi and our focus is on Iro and buba.

RIGHT FOOTWEAR FOR RAINING SEASON.

Shoes that are appropriate for the wet weather are often a neglected consideration until the last minute, but shoes that protect your feet from the elements are as important a part of your rainy day gear as your raincoat or your umbrella. 

DIFFERENT WAYS TO RESTYLE YOUR ASOEBI

One  characteristics of " ember" months are the  wedding  you see everyday.Once the invitation  are sent, you get to see the colour code for the wedding. Colour codes have been the norm for centuries and in Nigeria it's  basically  called "and co" or popular yoruba word "aso ebi". The aso ebi makes you look among the movers and shakers of the party  and as well get you extra souvenir *** hahahahaha

Normally  after aso ebi is worn once for a particular wedding,A lot of people don't feel comfortable wearing it to another party.

WEAR IT PINK

Haloo lovelies!!! As you all know we are in the month of October and October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a worldwide annual campaign involving thousands of organisations, to highlight the importance of breast awareness, education and research.The Breast Cancer Campaign is comprised of scientists and supporters who enable 'Pink Science' to go ahead.  What's pink science?  It's the research approach taken to look for methods of curing cancer - and with the money raised by the day improvements have been made.

FOR THE LOVE OF TRENCH COAT

Beige, white, black, fitted, loose, crumpled or not, over time the Trench Coat has been all the above and so much more, while remaining a staple. Literally the best fashion invention and mixture of modest, trendy & comfy.
It doesn't matter what age you are, or what kind of style you like, everyone needs one. A trench can be retro with flares, urban with white tennis shoes, modest with a palazzo pant – it really works for everybody.

CELEBRATING NAIJA @55

Many of us dislike wearing the Nigerian colors which is very disheartening because a lot of us feel there is no hope for our Nigeria,some would say our country has been independent for along time and we have nothing to show for it.Today's post was inspired by the independence day celebration to show true patriotism in a stylish and modest way.
