FOR THE DUDEZZZZZZZZZ

This  season is the perfect opportunity to pull out a fresh pair of high-top kicks. The warm weather calls for a lighter color palette but, like with any shoe, the most important thing is comfort. Loosen up your gear by opting for shirts and trousers that are slightly more relaxed and put on a pair of kicks you can walk in and still be blister-free. Check out the picks here.
Raf Simons Crocodile Pocket

It seems Raf Simons can do no wrong this season and this crocodile-embossed leather sneaker reaffirms this notion. The high-top shoe also comes with a Velcro strap at the ankle and features a zip pocket at heel collar. Made in Italy, these kicks leave no detail undone.

Yves Saint Laurent Leather High Top

YSL’s white leather high top sneakers feature a Velcro ankle strap and contrasting brown sole and trimmings. The white shell’s made from nappa leather and lined with leather as well, providing comfort in its finest form. 

Alexander McQueen for Puma

 As long as you keep the design clean and deliver an outfit that’s a bit more welcoming, these kicks from Puma’s ongoing collaboration with Alexander McQueen should be a perfect compliment. $283, 

Pierre Hardy

They say you get what you pay for and with this offering, you’re getting much more than the price. Pierre Hardy’s latest piece features a light grey that’s made from a soft jersey fabric and the shoe’s got an inner zip closure as well as contrasting white sole and a strap at the ankle.

Schott NYC x Converse

Converse teamed up with New York-based Schott, a brand most well known for its outerwear and leather jackets. This sneaker’s actually inspired by the iconic brand’s famous motorcycle jackets. Fine details include leather midsoles, zipper detailing on the uppers and matching leather toe caps. It’s available in a few different shells but this navy leather upper really stands out.

Seriously, even the dullest en most annoying dude can get away with wearing these foot candies.  

Building The Ultimate Closet

It is (sort of) starting to look like the ultimate girl and with that in mind I have rounded up tips from the different fashion industry experts on how to prepare and get that ultimate closet that can take you through this season as seen on the runway and spreads of magazines. Stripes: The ubiquitous sailor stripe is not going anywhere.  Big bold stripes in jarring colors are the way to go, and the really daring will wear stripes with other stripes, patterns and lots of color. (P.S., get on this trend right away, because NEXT season is all about the polka dot!) Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Clutch: The It-bag is now the Was-bag. Get out your dust covers and store those big caryalls. The fashion flock this season was tucking their cellphones, Chanel lipsticks and fashion show invites into minimalist clutches for day. The bold and the beautiful are leaning towards clutches of similar description. cobalt blue, yelllow and orange. (Extra-credit: This Cobalt blue is THE go-to color for next season) Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Full Skirt: Worn by day, the long skirt—whether full or pleated—is completely at ease anywhere. I like to see this silhouette paired with flats; the juxtaposition of the two make it a more casual and languid look. Wear with an oversized blazer, a belted cardigan or even a bomber jacket to complete the look. Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Neon: Many fashion insiders compare Fashion Weeks to a traveling circus.... This season, the colors definitely resemble the Big Top. This trend is for the girl who does not want to wear the ubiquitous camel this season, for the girl who can just cross ‘minimalist’ off her to-do list ... only she’ll use a highlighter to do so ... Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Accessories: Costume jewelry is having a moment. It seems that Coco Chanel’s old adage to “take one thing off before you leave the house” has been replaced by "put everything on before you leave the house.” And please, while you are at it, do break all the rules and mix big and small. Gold and silver. Costume with fine.  Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Statement Sandals: Losing the platform is about as liberating as it gets. This season will mean a vacation from those turbo, sky-high shoes that tortured feet for seasons past. Next season, one can lean towards high heel sandals with kick but without having to lean against something for balance. What a novel idea! Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Red Lips: Move over stains and gloss. Lipstick is having a moment. Ditch your mother's lip liner, though. I recommend taking some time to try out the best shade for you. The red lips, like the girl who wears them, are never boring. Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Power Suits: Men’s suiting does not mean wearing neutrals and tweed (although don’t get me wrong, that will NEVER go out of style) but this season’s suiting is more high voltage. Colorful pants and jackets are to be mixed and matched. Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com Throw Some Shade: For me, nothing signals the start of a weekend more than sunglasses! And if ever there was a season for sunnies this is it. And anything goes ... Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com The Best Accessory: A Smile!: Just remember, you are never fully dressed without a smile!! Here, Arizona Muse, the breakout model from this season, shows us how it’s done. Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com

UG ALL THE WAY

I have been listening to ma top ug jams.. en i must admit these are killa jams. bt as u no little foxes spoil the vine in this case ; videos dat most of our talented artists spend so much on.
1. The GALS.... seriously i dont know if the musicians/directors know why  video vixens are used, most cases they are used to tel a story, show a lifestyle en also disguise poor talent. Now in ug it is almost compulsory to have gals in the videos even wen it is clearly unneccessary making videos cheap en unprofessional so plis the nxt tym u opt for those gals, try to knock out the idea en invest in other neccessary props. dats how u stand out in the clutter.
2.wardrobe... F.Y.I most guys watch vidz 4 new fashion trends en styles. unless ur song has an 80s theme. u r forbidden to show fashion trends off season. plis invest in a fashion stylist/wardrobe manager
3. Swaggggggggg... as most define swag as Something We Africans Got doesnt apply to some of our dear acts. Dont not , en i Repeat Dont try to copy swag. swag is originality en creativity . if u love lil wayne , u dont hv to impersonate him. get tips from him en try to create ur own stlye from dat . u dont hv to copy his entire show, from tatoos to his presentation HELLLLO !!!! if i wanted to see or listen to lil wayne , i would do so. u can neva fill someones shoes . some are just too big to fill so plis let pple remember u for ur originality en creativity and not how u wd greatly fake an american accent even wen the whole country knows u hv neva , let alone studied the american accent. be proud of who you r. its ok pple will like you for who u r. if u look at the world's most influencial pple today , madonna, michael j and elvis presley u will definately no wat i am toking abt.
I believe dat we have some of  africa's finest musicians bt they are  blurred by many things and some written above. Accept positive critism , u no how the saying goes, 'THINK LOCAL , ACT GLOBAL' so the next tym u twist ur tongue, impersonate 50 cent, Jayz, Rihanna try to picture someone else doin dat. it definately makes us viewers sick to our stomachs . So plis save ur fans en fellow country men the constant trips to the wash rooms. Peace!!!!!

ABSURD

we all know that children are the most innocent human beings on this planet earth. Why in the world would someone man handle these precious gems? I know , u must be wondering why i am talking about this. Today , i was talking to my director and he showed me a clip of the nigerian christian massacre that happened recently. the highest number of victims were children as you will see in the clip below. Some of these children were asleep when all this happened.
This is an innocent child who can easily be manuplated... but they were killed. this video  is very disturbing.

so today i dedicate it to all those who died innocently in this massacre . May the Almighty God grant you an eternal rest. Amen
