Let’s talk about how men can combine their accessories with style!

ONE of the headaches a man faces when dressing deals with how to combine his accessories. It might seem moot since the male accessory is not as elaborate as the female folk. How do you combine your accessories right without committing a faux pas? A little insight might be of help:

Belt
Your belt is an integral part of your clothing accessory and you should always wear one, except you are wearing suspenders. There are not so many rules that surround wearing belt. You just have to ensure that you are wearing a belt with the same colour as your shoe. You should also endeavour to match your belt metal; the belt head and holes (if any) to the general metallic outlook of your clothes. If your belt head is golden, it would be wrong to wear a dress shoe with a silver metal. Your belt head and holes metal should also balance with your cufflinks metals and colours too.

2.Wristwatches
Nowadays, everyone feels that they can check the time off their smartphones, that does not mean the watch is going into extinction. A good time piece is your best friend, not only does it complete your outfit. It also allows you to show to the world that you value time. You should strive to match your wrist watch leather strap to your belt colour. If it’s a metal strap, it should fall in line with your belt head colour.

3.Cufflinks
Cufflinks should be in contrast with the shirt they are worn with but should maintain a harmony with the overall dressing. You should not wear a silver based cufflink on a white shirt, it would just blend in. You should shoot for a colour that stands out
against the shirt. You must keep It in mind that this should go along with your belt head and its holes.

4Glasses
If you wear medicated glasses, you would not be able to vary your choices, that is why you should go for a basic colour when picking your glass frame. You can never go wrong with black, it seems like the obvious choice for a lot of people. You may want to match your fashion glasses frame with your belt and shoes too.

5.Shoes
Shoes represent an integral part of a man’s accessory; you don’t want to get it wrong. Fortunately, the rules surrounding the accessory are not so verbose. You should pair your shoe colour
with your belt colour, that is necessary. If you are wearing a grey shoe, you should wear a black belt. This is because grey and black are considered none colours. Any other shoe apart from black and
grey should be paired with a brown belt. The rules for matching the metal head and holes of the belt to the metal on the shoe still stands too.

It’s time to step out in fine style and have all the fun.🙌

Let me quickly share this😀

I’m here again… So I’m going to show you different latest office skirt designs you will love.

As a rule, most of office skirt designs are determined by the restrictions of dress codes accepted by certain companies and structures. Depending on those restrictions, you can or cannot wear something short, too tight, frilled or, instead, of a floor-length. Let’s take a look at the most comfortable and universal designs that are acceptable in most offices.

What are the best office skirt styles according to dress codes?

Dress codes can be different but in most of them, an office skirt is an item of a modest color and length that doesn’t exaggerate the lines of a wearer’s body too much. The modest length is usually somewhere
around the knee, two fingers above or two fingers below the knee. The modest colors are normally dark ones or neutral gray tones. Finally, the cut is as simple as possible, without flowing details and not clinging to the body.

Let’s check some interesting items out together.

Interesting and elegant office pencil skirts

1.A pink item made of a slightly glossy fabric is a wonderful item for an office with a very mild dress code. The only office-like detail in this skirt is its cut and shape. In all the rest it’s a wonderful fancy item that can be worn for a date without doubts.

2.A classical pencil skirt in a deep black color is exactly what a woman may need for a working day in an office. Elegant and classical, it still can be very attractive. The key is in the smallest details. A wide belt can set an accent on the waist. Side pockets
can add some volume to hips if they lack it. paired with a lovely top, such a skirt can even be a great option for a party.

3.A regular pencil cut done in Ankara. Isn’t it a great idea? Such a skirt can be worn with either a matching jacket made out of the same Ankara or a solid-color one tailored out of another suitable
fabric. In any case, such a choice looks stunning due to the bright and lovely patterns.

4.A maxi pencil skirt is for those females who appreciate modesty and traditions above everything else. A long but comfortable item with a high waist and an elegant belt is made out of a surprisingly
stylish fabric with a black pattern on white.

This was a short overview of some of the latest office styles for women who want to look good and feel good, too. Choose any of the styles and wear it well with a charming smile on your face, and you will catch all eyes on you!

Available in three colourways, the ’70s style trainers
feature multi-material uppers defined by midfoot stripes and a wash of distressing that replicates years of wear.

Have a pair of grubby old sneakers lying around in your house? Well, if you have one or two of those as
spares and are planning to get rid of them, we would
suggest you just hold on to them. Because Gucci has recently released new vintage sportswear-inspired sneakers that come pre-scuffed and for all we know, a pair of chafe and rough sneakers may be the next big fashion trend.The company website states that the shoes are “a pastiche of different influences that span across decades, the Cruise 2019 collection references old school shapes and materials inspired by vintage sportswear. Influenced by classic trainers from the ’70s, these sneakers mix leather with Original GG canvas, featuring the Web stripe and Gucci vintage logo, treated for an allover distressed effect.”

“Available in three colourways, the ’70s style trainers all feature multi-material uppers defined by midfoot stripes and a wash of distressing that replicates years of wear”. Given this detail, polishing your shoes may very well be a thing of the past.Branding on the shoes comes in the form of a retro Gucci tongue patch, gold Gucci heel embossing and an oval double-G enamel detail above the toe box. Finishing up the shoes is an equally patinated bi-color sole unit complete with a knurled rubber outsole traction pattern. If you are wondering about the cost of these dirty pair of Distressed GG canvas sneakers – it is priced at a whopping $870 (around Rs 62,000).

The diamond-encrusted Dream Angels Fantasy Bra is not worth anywhere near $1 million,says diamond expert Grant Mobley.

The recently concluded Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2018 left spectators stunned as the Angels walked down the ramp clad in glamorous lingerie and magnanimous wings. But what stood out was the $1 million diamond-encrusted Dream Angels Fantasy Bra created by Atelier Swarovski in collaboration with Victoria’s Secret.

Worn by 30-year-old supermodel Elsa Hosk, the Dream Angels Fantasy Bra caught the attention of diamond expert and gemologist Grant Mobley, who explained that the evaluation of the $1 million bra is nothing but fiction. “The overvaluation of the bra is very clear because of what we know about the price of synthetic diamonds. Currently selling for $800 USD per carat, the reported 71 carats included in the bra would only be worth $56,800 USD. When you add the price of the stones to the cost of workmanship and the price of the metal, the total value would still be far below six figures,”Only natural diamonds from the earth would put the value of the bra into the millions of dollars, as in past shows”

The dangle earrings, made in Italy, feature penises
made from patinated golden brass and have ‘Saint
Laurent Paris’ engraved on the back. They are
somewhat pretty detailed in their design and are quite difficult to miss.

If unusually designed accessories are your thing and subtlety is not your style, look no further. You can land your dream jewellery now, approved by the best of designers. Yves Saint Laurent or YSL, a French luxury fashion house founded by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Bergé, has released a new line of jewelry that includes a pair of dangly penis earrings and a matching necklace. The dangle earrings, made in Italy, feature penises made from patinated golden brass and have ‘Saint Laurent Paris’ engraved on the back. They are somewhat pretty detailed in their design and are quite difficult to miss.

Coming to the cost of this bizarre accessory, the dangle earrings are priced at US$280, which will approximately be around Rs 20,335.On the other hand, the matching golden pendant necklace is valued at US$795 (approximately Rs 57,752) and has the iconic logo hanging from the clasp instead. It is made with 100% brass and has an adjustable snap hook closing. While we are yet to decide what is more bizarre the design or the price, this is not the first time someone came up with X-rated jewellery designs.

Zara, the Spanish based clothing retailer, will expand online sales to an additional 106 countries, meaning that Zara apparel will now be available in a total of 202 countries. The online global platform is now live and has countries like Angola, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Ghana among its new delivery destinations.

Considering that many Nigerian fashion faithfuls are huge fans of the brand, Nigeria was, however, glaringly absent from the list. The company will further expand its online offering, aiming to have all its brands available online by 2020, as previously announced. Countries or territories that do not have physical Zara stores will be able to access a dedicated platform from the 8th of November, with orders processed in Spain.

Following the launch, Zara customers in the countries covered will be able to place orders in euros, including shipping costs and customs charges and pay by PayPal and credit cards. While the orders will be processed in Spain, where Inditex is headquartered, the products will be shipped from the closest country to where the customer lives.

We all use our social media a bit too much, so much that anyone who was last here 5 years ago would think people from the village hometown had locked us inside our LED screens. In many ways, social media has replaced, or at least, presented an
alternative to actual physical interaction. Talking online has become a part of our daily lives.

Using these platforms, and juggling Twitter conversations while you talk about marriage with your mum seems almost second nature,
which is ironic because some of the things you do now simply couldn’t be done 5 years ago. And that’s because they didn’t exist. Here are 4 of them.

(1) Posting Instagram Stories: Yea 5 years ago, your favourite social media platform for checking up
on celebrities, friend and foe only allowed you to post photos. Instagram only announced the video-sharing feature in June 2013. Before that, your best chance of getting famous of a short video was
on Youtube. What this means is that 5 years ago, you couldn’t have had a Charles Okocha or a Maraji . Thank God for technology. (2) Posting Speeches as Tweets: Back in the day, when the world was a much more peaceful place,
Twitter allowed users to post tweets within a 140-character limit. What this meant was that users often had to say as much as they wanted with as little as possible, or just act deep and post a thread.
Then in 2017, after heavy pressure from some who even wanted the platform to let them edit tweets and basically mop their bad judgement with toilet paper when they wanted, Twitter increased the cap to 280 characters.

(3) Snapchat Premium:
For those who might be inclined to go searching for Snapchat Premium in their app stores, there is no actual app like that. Nowadays, Instagram models and Bobrisky (for a short while) sell exclusive sexual content to users who pay a subscription to access the account where it is shared.
Snapchat and Instagram had been around this time 5 years ago but the people at Bad Ideas HQ simply hadn’t come up with this yet.

(4) Social media jobs:
How did it feel the first time you asked someone what they did and they responded, “social media manager”. Were you shocked or did you
sit somewhere and cry about how we had taken this a little too far? Today, social media is an integral part of the business for many brands, publishers and … well, businesses. To get the best of the opportunities that these platforms offer, experts
who understand the finicky workings get paid to work their magic. According to Social Media Examiner, 92% of marketers report that
social media is important to their business.
5 years ago, there was no such thing as a community manager who tried to convert a brand’s social presence into naira or clicks. Halleluyah for job creation.

Lifestyle…..Sometimes, the underarm flab and back bulge are two body fat that brings discomfort to chubby people. Because they have a way of distorting the body, and are very difficult to burn. As a matter of fact, a good number of people have tried dieting and different exercises to no avail. However, it has been proven that the most effective way to get rid of this fat is through four short and effective exercises.

And interestingly, these 3 exercises can be done at the comfort of your home, either by using a band with handles, tubing, rubber banding, hand weights or just moving your hands only.Success is guaranteed in losing this fat in a record of three to four weeks if you do the following on daily basis. Below are the 3 quick exercises to get rid of underarm flab and back bulge

1. The criss-cross reverse fly
With the crisscross reverse fly, you need to bend forward to 90% at the waist. And while you do, your legs should be apart about the width of your shoulders and slightly bent at the knees for stability. Hold the hand weight or dumbbell on each hand bent at the elbow while palms face towards each other. After that, you should raise your hands slightly lower than shoulders height.Do three sets with ten repetitions for effective result.

2. The elbow kiss
The elbow kiss exercise simply involves spreading out your arms on either side at shoulders height with palms facing up and then folding each arm at the elbow to make a ninety degrees angle upwards. While folded, swing the hands to the front so that they close in at the elbow with forearms touching the sides. After that, return the arms to their initial position. Do 3 sets with 10 repetitions.

3. The push and touch
A much better way to do the push and touch is with a hand weight or a band. But in the absence of those, lifting your stretched arms overhead from the resting position on the sides of your body will do.And while standing with your stretched arms on the sides and palms facing forward, lift them to shoulder height simultaneously over your head. Lastly, bring the arms back in position. Do three with six repetitions each.

However, it is important to state here that these exercises are not magical techniques that will make that accumulation of adipose tissue melt away. In order to make it work, you will need not only commitment but also discipline and consistency.And to achieve these, it is expected of you to set out an appropriate time in your daily schedule to practice these exercises. Because that is the only way to effectively get rid of that underarm flab and back bulge fat in the proven record time of four weeks.

BEFORE WE TALK MORE ON FASHION AND LIFESTYLE LETS QUICKLY DIVERT TO THIS:-

Stan Lee, the legendary comic book writer, editor, and publisher of Marvel comics who co-created some of our most iconic superheroes, died yesterday at the age of 95.

Pre-college Marvel fans at times have taken to assembling on the corner of Madison and 58th Street, waving wildly with home-made signs whenever anybody appears at the second-floor windows of Marvel’s three workrooms. “Like we were the Beatles or something,” Lee muses.

In terms of the real world, all this adulation means that Marvel circulation has tripled in three and a half years. With an annual circulation of 35 million, Marvel (which puts out 17 super-type comic books) is now a comfortable number two in the comics industry, gradually edging up on the long-established Superman D.C. line. No other comic book publisher can show anything like Marvel’s phenomenal sales growth in the sixties. A secondary harvest of promotion tie-ins is starting to bloom, too. Forty thousand Marvelites have come up with a dollar for their Merry Marvel Marching Society kits. In the works are plastic models, games, a Spider-Man jazz record and a television cartoon series.

“We really never expected all this, you know,” Lee admits. “I mean it started out as a gag mostly. I just thought maybe it would be worth trying to upgrade the magazines a little bit. Audiences everywhere are getting hipper these days. Why not the comic book audience too? And then all of a sudden we were getting 500 letters a day about what great satire these stories were, and how significant. We used to get about one letter a year

Fifty years after this profile was written, Marvel superheroes are bigger than ever before. Thanks for all the stories, Stan.
