Party season is upon us and today I just want to show party guests outfits inspiration for our owambes/events.
I know a lot of us have received different party invitation cards and you don’t want to appear regular but to be a show stopper at the party. This is why I have picked beautiful party guests in super stunning color combinations of lace and sego gele which is the rave of the moment.
See below how lace fabrics and sego gele are combined and also how to combine colors for asoebi. This is useful for your asoebi ladies theme and also mothers of bride and groom.
Incase you are also confused on how to combine colors and laces for your birthday photoshoot traditional (Nigerian) looks, these beautiful pictures can also help you make a decision.
Which of these is your best look? Share your thoughts in the comments
I was going through my draft posts and I saw this post of one of my favorite top about 3years ago😊
As I was about to press the delete button on my key board, my inner man was like Hol’ up ! Just share it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s an old post (oldie yet Goldie) , the style of the top is still Beautiful and it might just inspire someone who has 2yards Ankara fabric laying down somewhere to sew exact style or something better drawing inspiration from the post.
As we all know, fashion they say keep evolving and despite the pandemic the creative juice of fashion designers keep flowing especially our Nigerian fashion designers who are constantly stepping up their game in terms of creating unique asoebi styles for party guests .
One thing I have noticed recently is that fashion designers now put extra efforts on or should I say “play” more with the sleeves of their recent designs to give their clients jaw dropping outfits
They sew a basic fitted dress for asoebi and then create some drama on the sleeves which immediately switch the dress from zero to 100%.
We must also note that these dramatic sleeves design {in my opinion} is not for every BODY FRAME, because some can be overpowering and appear overwhelming on some body shapes which at the end of day make you look like a drag queen.
For instance, someone with a petite stature might appear smaller if the sleeves on her outfit are too bogus while another person with a bigger body frame will make heads turn in the same dress.
In view of this, I will advise that before you try out these beautiful designs with dramatic sleeves make sure you seek your designer’s opinion.
And in case you want to replicate any of the asoebi designs I will be showing you in this post, make sure it is perfect for your body frame.
Now, let’s take a look at pictures of some beautiful asoebi designs with perfect dramatic sleeves:
Which of these designs do you think will be perfect for your body frame? or which would you like to replicate with your next asoebi fabric?
Happy new year everyone, thank God we made it 2021!
2020 was such a dramatic year, the pandemic held the whole world to a standstill especially the fashion world.
No events, no outings equal zero fashion. We were in our pyjamas or lounge wears for months in 2020 but thank God we can move about now (still taking precautions) and we can also hold some events which we need to attend masking up but still appearing super stylish.
In the latter part of 2020 and the last one week of 2021, people have been slaying stylishly in beautiful fabrics sewn into gorgeous asoebi designs. I have some pictures from different Nigerian cultures to share with you as always in this post to inspire a 2021 celebrant or bride who is trying to choose asoebi color theme for her event.
Lets take a look:

Good to be back! Remember my last post HERE was my annual birthday sales and I will like to say a big thank you to everyone that brought Fabrics from us during the sales period.
So I had a photoshoot for the first time in my life *covers face* and it really feels good having cameras in my face 😂😂. So I might make this a regular thing for my birthdays because life is worth celebrating.
For my photo shoot, I used two Fabrics (lace and Ankara).
The multicolored guipure lace which is of high quality is sold out now and was 30,000 Naira for 5yards. I wanted a boubou style out of and my tailor did justice to that. I felt really good and free in the boubou.
The second Fabric is a multicolored Ankara Fabric which is still available in 2 color mix and it’s just 5,000 Naira for 6yards. I didn’t use the whole 6yards because I made a shift dress with wide sleeves (really love the style) and my kids made use of the remaining fabric.
Both Fabrics looked amazing on my skin tone ,my braids were styled and my makeup artist did beat my face that I couldn’t recognize myself Lol
Enough of my stories, let’s see the evidence in pictures:
What do you think about my pictures? And what’s your favorite outfit?
Share your thoughts in the comments section and send me birthday wishes. Yes it’s not too late 😃
Over the weekend, my friend from way back invited me to a wedding party at classique events place Oregun and I was excited about it because my social life has been a bit dull as I’m always busy with business and family. But this is one friend I can’t say no to and I really enjoyed myself which is why I took some pictures for a post because most of the time I share with you style post of customers and stylish women that catch my fancy in order to inspire our African/traditional fashion sense as well as different unique fabrics in stock for sale. And you don’t really get to see the face behind the brand so I think this is an opportunity to show my face.
Enjoy the beautiful pictures of myself and my friends at my Owanbe :

She also knows how to combine colors that compliment her skin tone and make her stand out at all times.
The asooke fabric is also a major staple in her wardrobe as she steps out in her complete native attire with the head wrap as a true African queen.

Today is the last day of the month of September but I will not let the month end without the monthly aso- ebi diva post.
The social media has turned the world into a small village connecting people together to become real -life friends, acquaintances and even couples! Yes lots of people meet on social media, fall in love and end up getting married in real life.
My aso-ebi diva today is a beautiful woman I met on social media! Instagram to be precise, married with two kids and she has amazing flair for African wears.
What attracted me to this woman was her sense of style. It’s so astounding! She dresses so elegantly and makes sure she covers the appropriate parts.
She appears sexy in a non- provocative manner in all her outfits. As you all know aso-ebi diva is about showcasing a Fashionista’s sense of style in African fabrics/native wears which our diva for this month wears a lot and am going to display lots of beautiful pictures of Empress in different fabrics looking super gorgeous with her fascinating beauty.
One thing to also note about this stylish African woman is her flair for exquisite accessories, she uses beautiful accessories to complement her dressing at all times from gorgeous shoes to beads, gold jewelry, headgear , clutch/purses as well as designer’s sunglasses.
Her choice for exotic and unique fabrics also speaks volume on her fashion taste and love for African attires.
One thing that I will not forget to mention is her make-up, Oh my! I like the way she does her make up to nicely match her skin tone in a subtle manner. Less is indeed more.
Now I present to you our beautiful aso-ebi diva for the month of September, the beautiful and ever- stunning Asba Emami:
