Truth be told, we are loving the trend. As much as we appreciate a gorgeous heel, there's truly something to be said for comfort.
The challenge, however is understanding how to style your sneakers in a way that screams "chic" not "sloppy".
When you wear sneakers, you're not bothered but comfortable all day. Not because we are lazy but because we are stylish.
There are so many different ways to rock your sneakers.

Fashionably yours,

Once Upon a time in a FEDORA!
A FEDORA hat is one accessory that can set you apart, whether you're at a formal event or you're just running some errands. It's just so tricky for us females -- sometimes we want to just throw on a baseball cap like the guys, but it's not so easy.
Here, i've laid out the rules for how to properly wear a hat.
1.Find the perfect fit: As with anything you wear, finding the perfect fit is important when buying or wearing a fedora hat. Don't just buy fedora hats for women right off the rack. You have to make sure it fits you well, no matter how cute the design or the style is. The perfect fit for a fedora hat means that it's loose enough to comfortably accommodate your head down to about half of your forehead but not to loose that it falls or slides off sloppily to either sides of your head. It shouldn't also be too tight that it leaves a mark on your forehead when you wear it.
2. Use it to dress up a casual outfit: On days when you don't feel like dressing up but still want to look super stylish, chic and posh, a fedora hat is all you need. Whether you’re wearing a simple shirt and jeans outfit or something even more casual like a tank top and a pair of shorts, adding a fedora hat can instantly make you look well put-together.
3. DON'T add a hat to an already complicated outfit
4. Experiment with angles: Fedoras definitely look better when you put them on a different angle but there’s always going to be that one angle that you will look extra cute and gorgeous in.
5. Wear it with A Dress: Dresses are cute, feminine and flirty. Sometimes, though, when we wear one dress too often enough, it can look boring. Avoid being that same old plain girl wearing the dress everyone knows too well and spice up your look by adding a fedora hat to your ensemble. It adds a fresh feel to your style.

Harmattan Style - Textured Tee
I have been getting questions on how to stay stylish yet covered for the Harmattan Season.
One way to look stylish yet warmed up in this Harmattan season is to wear TEXTURED TEES
There are different ways to wear your textured tee.
1. Professional: Pair it with some office staples
like a blazer, pencil skirt and pumps and you’ve got yourself an outfit for
work.
2. Clean and Classic: Pair with a coloured trouser either maroon, navy or khaki trousers, any color really since the top is neutral. Add a simple cutout pendant and ballet flats to keep it simple and clean.
3.Cozy Casual: You can pair up with scarves, bootcut trouser and boots. Instead of skinny jeans go for boot cut or wide legged trouser and top it all off with a scarf with chunky boots for a cozy casual look you can bundle up in.
4. Flirty & Edgy: You can also dress up this tee with a flirty skirt. You could keep the look feminine with a more streamline shoe, but you can choose to add some edge to the outfit with a faux leather jacket and chunky ankle boots or stilettos as you desire.
Gotta mix up sometimes, you know? :)
