TUTORIAL: HOW TO TIE THE TWISTED WRAPPER.

Hello,

How are you today? I have been thinking of how this year just few by, It's few weeks to Christmas and It feels like we said 'Happy New Year' yesterday and we are close to saying another. I am so thankful to God for all that I was able to accomplish this year, I'm not there yet but very close..

I was reluctant to do a post on how to tie this wrapper because I felt it was on every blog but if my readers want it, I have no choice but to give them, so enjoy...
You put your wrapper around you like the picture above.

you then fold in the ends of the wrapper

Twist abit then put them on top of eachother

You will twist the two ends together


After twisting round, you put them on top of eachother like twice depends on the thickness of the wrapper.

This was what it looked like after the first twist(I twisted it once because velvet is quite thick, if you are using silk or chiffon you can do 2-3 twist).



You tie the ends at the back.


You will tuck in the tied ends

Tuck round so it looks neat.



You will turn the wrong side of the wrapper inside, for mine, I use safety pin so it can stay well and won't open up when it gets breezy.

That's all.



I hope this was helpful.

Please email me your pictures when you tie yours and feel free to drop a comment if you know other ways to tie it.

IS SHE A FASHION LOVER?






Thank God it's Friday!!!

How was your day?  It is another Friday and its a new month *yaay*. We are here with another segment of Fashion Lover.

Today's fashion lover is a friend from secondary school who has a way of styling herself in an  adorable manner.

Let's decide if Akhere is a fashion lover.


FNL: In few words tell us about yourself?
Akhere: I am Akhere Omoijiade, a full-time System Analyst and a part-time model who loves spending time watching movies, reading my Bible, novels and biographies and also eating although its not evident in my appearance (lol).

FNL: What does fashion mean to you?
Akhere: Fashion to me means, showing my personality through clothes, not just apparels but clothes that make you feel comfortable and beautiful.

FNL: What inspires your style?
Akhere: Current fashion trends inspire my style
                            
FNL: Describe your style in 3words? 
Akhere: My style is fun, bubbly but yet simple. I like to play and have fun with colours, as there's nothing exciting about dark colours.

FNL: Who are your style icons?
Akhere: Folake Huntoon & Khloe Kardashian

 FNL: What are your most favorite stores and why?
Akhere: Hmm... that's tricky because I get what I like not considering the store its from. But my personal favourites are Forever 21 and Vincci because their items correspond with my taste.

FNL: Who are your favorite designer brands and why?
Akhere: Again a tricky question well I would say Moofa, Orange culture and grey because they are very contemporary and edgy.

FNL: What are your favorite pieces in your closet?
Akhere: My shoes and jewellery.
                 

FNL: What fashion item can you not do without?

Akhere: My high heels.
 

  
FNL: What is your take on the African Fashion Industry?
Akhere: The fashion industry Africa is taking shape and developing with tremendous speed. Nigeria itself can boast of wonderful designers like Lanre da Silva, Lisa Folawiyo, Funlayo Deri, Kola Kuddus and so on . The future is bright with designers like Lisa and Lanre da silva getting stands at Selfridges, it can only get better.
                 
                           
                                 
FNL: What won't you be caught wearing?
Akhere: I won't be caught wearing an ill fitted dress that doesn't accentuate or enhance the feminine features. There's beauty in the curves of a woman from the smile to the figure. Anything that doesn't flatter that is a no no for me.
                    
FNL: What do you think about Fashion and Lover's blog?
Akhere: It is a very inspiring and informative blog, keeps me updated on the current styles and trends, especially on what to wear to weddings (Lol). You have achieved a lot in such a short while which is amazing. God bless you.
                               


So have you decided if Akhere is a fashion lover?

WRAP WITH A TWIST.


HAPPY NEW MONTH,

How have you been? It's been a long time and I really miss blogging.

I appreciate everyone that sent me a message to ask how am faring and told me how much they missed my post(s), THANK YOU. I don't go off and on because I enjoy to or careless about my blog, NO! but sometimes life throw at us things we have to deal with.

 I have been so occupied with different things (I hope to be able to share some good news with you soon.)

 I wore this outfit to church on Sunday and for the surprise birthday party my friend planned for her then boyfriend, now fiancee because he surprised her with a proposal *pops champagne*.









 I had made this Iro (wrapper) and buba (free blouse) some weeks earlier. I love the fabric I used for this outfit; the fact that it soft and silky does it for me.

I paired it with one of my most comfortable shoes and decided to pack my bun.

My Dolls: Sholly, Keni, Lolly and I


My awesome photographer of the day. Thanks Sugs. Her hair is Natural :). You like?





Moji, Lolly and I


Don't know what happened to my eyes :(


She was speechless, just kept on smiling.

sorry, I dint get a clear picture of the ring.
 It was really a beautiful day filled with lots of screaming, love and surprises and loads more.



P.S: When you are going through difficult times and it seems like God isn't answering your prayer(s) or granting your request(s), hold on a bit longer because he would answer, God is never late. He is faithful.

That's it.
                                                                 KISSES.

                                                              My Outfit:
