My Fave fashion Item for the Month of March: OFF SHOULDER tops.

Hello Rebels,

How are you all doing? What have you been up to?

I got an email from a Rebel asking me why I had not put up a post in more than a week. Really? You guys check out for me like that? My God! I don blow. lmao. Well, err Rebel, truth is I have not put out a post because I have been very busy since the past two weeks. I knew I had a little legion of regular visitors but what I didn't know was just how much you cared about this blog. This is just got me feeling all loved up! awwwn.

Anyway, back to the post. I have been raving about off shoulders to anybody who cared to listen in my house. I am totally mind blown by them and then I thought, why don't I share the passion with you rebels?

Well, the off- shoulder trend has been growing on me for some time now. I am absolutely in love with them, by "them" I mean the complete off shoulders tops with frills or full sleeves. I can not wait until I can make or buy one. they are absolute statement pieces that are best worn over tight fitted high waist jean trousers.

They are a complete steal. If you are a fashion lover, please could you just get one already? lol.

Let me leave you with these pictures I copped off www.fashpa.com 

Yours Faithfully,

The Lagos Rebel <3 

In The Balmain Army I trust to Always SLAY!

Balmain is a haute couture fashion house that was founded by Pierre Balmain. Balmain was born in 1914 in France and since then it has gone on to become a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world. With Olivier Rousteing as their creative director he has managed to transform the brand plus his social nature and his ability to mingle and make friends with celebrities ensure that Balmain gets the attention they deserve in the United States.

Special thanks to Kanye West who introduced Kim Kardashian to Balmain as a brand, the brand has enjoyed added publicity and has continued to grow from strength. So when the Balmain Army was ready to strut their stuff on the catwalk everybody got glued to their TV sets/ mobile devices. Their Fall/ Winter collection was amazing and i can just imagine celebrities clawing at each other to get their hands on the latest wears.

I saved some pictures off the show for you. peep them below;

I think this collection is amazing and absolutely as wearable as their last collection. I couldn't help but observe that two fashion trends are trying to snake their way into our wardrobes with this collection. They are: the big bold waist belt AND velvet! Yes! Akwa- Ochie is attempting a come back ladies.
I absolutely bought into the trend the last time it was in vogue so i am pretty exited about it comeback. lol. 
This Balmain FALL/ WINTER I6 Collection also features slim accentuated waists and balloon like bottoms. 

Also Balmain had amazing top models strutting the catwalk in all their stuff. These includes: Kendall Jenner (who they made the face of this collection), Gigi Hadid and Jurdan Dunn. 

I think this collection is absolutely amazing. What do you think? 

Yours Truly, The Lagos Rebel!

RELE ART GALLERY

15 military road, Onikan, Victoria island Lagos.

I had been feeling rather gloomy and desperately needed something to boost my mood when I decided to visit the Rele art gallery. Initially, a friend of mine had brought the place to my attention adding that it was a beautiful place to let off steam and get lost in the maze of one’s imaginations. On Friday the 12^th of February I ventured out.

The art gallery is easy to locate. I got off at Obalende and just boarded a straight bike headed for the art gallery. Once I pulled up in front of the building, something struck me. The building is painted black! It’s rather striking if you ask me. Lol. You know how these artists are mostly mad lol. It’s all respect as I am absolutely fascinated with artistes who know their stuff. Back to my adventure… I found a security seated beside the building who was kind enough to show me to the inside of the building.

I walked into the building and was completely taken aback… inside the building was WHITE! Imagine the contrast!! It was so beautiful to witness. Believe me! I just felt so good. I got the impression that the owner of the gallery liked to keep things simple BUT dramtic…
