Look Book: Number T Women Accessories 2015/2016 Collection.

Hey Beautiful People!

It has been a minute; I know, I know. The important thing is, I’m here now. Today. In this moment. *grins*

Good people, I’m pretty sure you’d nod your head in agreement when I say (or write) that our outfits are not really complete without a complementary accessory or two. And shoes, of course (Leave the shoe lover be).

Number T accessories deals in Unique handmade and also exclusive (I say this because, no one piece is like the next) fascinators, ponchos, capes and other accessories. Also, the Lookbook of their premiere collection for 2015/2016 was released recently and I trust you’d love it as much as I did- still do-  when I first saw a picture of one. The only thing I do not like about these photos is the way the watermark (big font too) is sprawled across the photos.

Here’s the rest of the collection below; enjoy…

    

I have two personal favorites from the collection; This black bow-shaped one right here. 

    

And this purple one with the peacock feather right here. Purple is  one of my favorite colours and this is a beautiful piece. Argue in the comment session.

OOTD; BEGIN AGAIN

Hey Beautiful people!

Everytime my birthday comes around, it feels like a ‘new year’ for me; in some ways it is.

There’s this feeling of ‘newness’, heck i’d even call it respawning. I feel like, no feel is not the word; i know i’ve come back better, stronger, smarter, more aware, more ‘IB’ if you wish. After school yesterday, i went out with a couple of friends for frozen Yoghurt at Yogurberry, GRA 2, (i have to do a review soon, i like the place and the Yoghurt of course) and lunch. Nothing ‘over-the-top’ cause we had a test we had to prepare for and so returned to school in time.

I want to apologize right now for the low quality photos, this post wasn’t planned but seeing as i’ve stayed away for so long and was really happy to get back to writing again and sharing some parts of my life with you, i had to put this up.

It’s a ‘new year’ and so i’ll try to be more consistent (yes i know i’ve said that before) with the posts; i have a ‘plan’. I’ll start with a post or two a week and maybe pick it up from there depending on my schedule. I do not like to stay away too long from writing, trust me.

I’ll be better.

THE EVENT SHOW 2015; PINK MATTER

Hey Guys!

Yeeaah… Where do I start from¿

Yes, i’m alive. No, i did not travel to a remote location devoid of the internet. Yes, i’ll put in more effort to be consistent. *drinks a cup of water* I’m sorry I was away for so long.

Now, what started out as a passion to create an entrepreneurial platform to promote local vendors and encourage professionalism in the event industry with just about 30 booths at Civic centre Port Harcourt, circa 2011, is back for it’s 5th edition which promises to be different from the previous ones, thanks to the Tres Bien Events Team.

  

Product exhibition, mentoring sessions, seminars /workshops, a runway show; this year, The Event Show with the theme ‘Pink Matter’ will be going on tour to 2 other Cities, Calabar and Benin.

This year’s theme explained by the organizers;

Pink Matter

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord and consist of two major tissues known as the grey and white matter. These tissues are mostly responsible for how we learn, think and process information.

Women over the years have transcended their customary roles as home builders and have grown to be powerful forces to reckon with. They have turned into excellent CEOs, Directors, founders of successful business empires and influential public figures while maintaining the home front.

These attributes in the woman has prompted our interest in the topic and for this reason we aim to explore, different aspects of the Pink Matter at the Event Show 2015. The areas in view will be; womanhood , the woman entrepreneur, work place challenges and the woman as a public figure.

As visual beings, women have a strong attachment to fashion and it plays a key role in interpreting how they think. For the fashion show, pink matter elements will be infused; giving designers a chance to interpret it on the runway

We look forward to celebrating the iconic female enterpreneur, mother, public figure and the African woman in general. Pink Matter(s) to us and this we intend to show at the 2015 edition of The Event Show.

Here ye, here ye! Established and upcoming event planners, Entrepreneurs, visitors looking for a platform like this that is sure to showcase a wide range of products and services, sponsors, investors alike; come one, come all and bring a friend.
Have an amazing week ahead!

Day Creations Presents Lookbook For Debut Collection: ’13-Thirteen’ [Colour Me Handsome]

Hey Guys!!!

The first time i met the young designer Daniel Ayanate, early last  year, i would never have guessed that a collection like this was in the works but hey, 2014 was a good year for a lot of people.

Before our first meet,  i had seen a couple of photographs of some of his shirts and it is almost impossible to miss the play with colour (bright daring colours i must add) and prints.

 

Day Creations (formerly known as Day Couture), as a fashion brand was first established in 2011 but had its first store opening in 2014 in Port Harcourt City, Rivers State, Nigeria.

He says about the brand and the inspiration behind this collection,

“We make pieces for the everyday person (male and female) who is not afraid to be styled apart, we undertake both English and native wears, ready to wear, bespoke and haute couture etc.”

“This collection being my debut was inspired out of my infallible love for prints, so most of the pieces had a touch of a print of all kinds that spoke to me . The name ’13-Thirteen’ was coined from my birth date which is 13th may, being my first day on the planet so I decided to name the debut collection after it,lol.”

View the rest of the collection below…

                                                                                               This is one of my favourite looks from the collection. It just screams comfort and if as a guy, you’re not one to dress up in bright yellow or green, i think this is safe enough.

 

I have a thing for paisley print and i honestly think this will work if worn as separates.

 

I love how he worked the horizontal and vertical lines on the collar, the cuff of both sleeves and on the shirt.

                                                                                              I like how he switched up the regular striped fabric of the Jackets’ lapel for print but i think they are a little too big but hey, that’s just my take on that.

                                                                                              I Like this look, very simple. Maybe it’s the angle at which the models’ neck is inclined but i don’t get the collar; looks like a combo of a peter pan/bishops’ collar.

 

Like this shirt and the pleat detailing on either side of the buttons that run down the middle of the shirt.

Overall, i think the pieces are simple, basic and they do alright for a debut from a young designer.

NEW FINDS: ECLOTHES.COM.NG

Hey Guys!!! Happy New Year! I know  i haven’t put up anything in a while (and no, i didn’t loose my blogging mojo 😉  ), school and a lot of other things had me for what was left of last year and all through to January this year.   eclothes  is a New online store based in Nigeria, officially launched in 2014. There is so much glee in my pretty little heart as i write this because i have watched and prayed and waited for the opening of a Nigerian e-clothing store with its main warehouse in Port Harcourt; even considered opening one of mine. Eclothes’ aim is to provide Nigerians an outlet for most/all of their fashion needs. The store promises to offer shoppers with items and pieces for both male and female alike, from popular international high street brands and also local designers from Nigeria and across Africa. Payment can be made online, by bank transfer and then for shoppers who would rather receive their items before they make payments, there is the option of Pay on Delivery so they can be fully satisfied with their merchandise before they make any final commitments. More details about Payment, shipping and delivery are on their site. A lot of things are still in the works and i hope that with time, they’ll have most of e-shopping figured out. Happy Shopping and do remember to check out the site the chance you get, i’m pretty sure you’ll see something that appeals to you and if you don’t, give it time, life is in stages. 😉

Have a blessed week ahead! XOXO, Ib.
