Compliment of the season!
I hope your week has been going well so far. Today I’m showcasing some beautiful Nigerian beads which can be used to accessorize either your traditional wedding attire if you are a bride, or your aso ebi if you are a guest.

Today, i received a call from one of my  Facebook fan asking me to send a video tutorial on Beads Making which i promise her that i will send it to her.

Am in a confused:Is wise to resign my oil & gas job and focus on my husband's biz?

 
"My husband has just advised I resign my oil and gas job so I can focus on a business he started years before we met and married. It is our belief that every family should own at least one business of their own. As much as I buy into that belief, I am hesitant to resign my oil and gas job as I don't know whether it would be a wise decision for me as a wife to abruptly just resign. Would it also be wise for me to insist that we have a legal framework where we have equal ownership of the company? Am thinking this would cause a friction between us. I'm also making a lot of money where I work now and I don't know what things will be like working with my husband. I really need your advise.

Latest Fashion Tips and Trends for 2015

The fashion industry has always been changing globally, and in fact in the last few years it has evolved to a new level. Every season comes with a new trend and some of them act as trend setters. Here are some latest fashion tips and trends for 2015 that you can incorporate in your wardrobe and look dashing and stylish.



2015 is the color of Blue and Natural

• 2015 is going to be considered as the year of nature and hence it is good if natural elements, shades and designs are added. Moreover the color Blue will hog the limelight as blue color is represented by sea and sky and both of these are natural elements.
• Another great idea would be to wear light garments. This summer season show your simplicity with elegant yet simple blue shade dresses. However those who want to glamorize it a little bit can add few accessories.
• It will be good if the accessories added find a direct link with the natural theme. 

Add different blue shades to your summer wardrobe

• Blue shades such as pastel blue not only looks cool but also matches pretty well with the current ongoing theme.
• There are some more blue shades that can be incorporated such as aquamarine, sky blue and powder blue.

 

Flaunt those figure skimming trousers or cool pajayamas

• The so called latest ‘in-thing’ these days is to have those figure skimming trousers and cool pajamas.
• Walking down the beach in those pajamas with a cotton muffler adds perfect touch of fashion statement to entire looks.
• Summers as we all know are full of light and hence colorful floral prints are also recommended. Blue mixed with little yellow is what all you require for this summer.
• For girls crop tops and midi skirts can help them steal all the limelight and differentiate them from the crowd. Enough to get noticed among different people.

Follow your favorite celebrity

• Though it is good to create your own unique style statement but there is no harm is getting inspiration from your favorite celebrities.
• Hence whether it is Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Don Jazzy or something from Tiwa Savage, the deal is to incorporate some fashion tips from them. Follow their social media profiles or just take help from your favorite search engine and get some amazing fashion ideas.

 
You can also join few fashion forums

• Stay updated by joining few fashion forums. You can also sign up for newsletters so that whatever is happening in the fashion market and industry comes directly to your inbox and you get some cool ideas from there.
• You can also incorporate some jewelry items into your wardrobe. As blue is getting discussed the best option would be to have some amazing blue sapphires and pendants. A nice blue colored bracelet can also add grace to your personality.

Now you can very well judge that the basic idea is to look good and elegant and yet simple. There is no need to overdo anything, and ensure smooth looks with the perfect touch of latest fashion ideas.
