BIRTHDAY PHOTOSHOOT INSPIRATION: FULL ASOOKE OUTFIT

Hello everyone, I’m back again with another banger lol! It’s the complete asooke set for photoshoots. Before now full asooke set was known to be used for Yoruba traditional weddings and not for anything else probably because of the texture of the asooke fabric which is not very comfortable for most people because some people complain of the fabric weight while some complain that it radiates heat or scratch their bodies but recently it seems there’s a change/shift as lots of gorgeous women now use complete asooke set for photoshoots like birthdays, wedding anniversaries and even church Thanksgiving.

I noticed that most people use the COTTON ASOOKE for the complete set because the cotton asooke is a breathable fabric and skin friendly. Also the mix of beautiful threads colors makes the cotton asooke stunning and gives this stunning cultural yet classy look.

Let’s see some beautiful women in super stunning colors and designs of asooke complete set. And by complete set, I mean the total outfit which is buba( top), iro (wrapper), ipele and gele (headtie):

What do you think about the complete asooke set rave? Will you be rocking it? What colour or design do you prefer?

2021 Family Photo Shoots

Hello everyone,

Family Photo Shoots has been in existence for a long time, most of our parents homes are filled with beautiful family pictures which we grow up to cherish even when they are no longer here.

Our generation is also keeping the tradition of taking beautiful family portraits in our traditional outfits using exquisite and gorgeous fabrics like laces, asooke, ankara, Atiku cotton fabrics to represent different cultures.

Most families organize family photo shoots to mark special events in the family. Like wedding anniversaries, birthdays of a member of the family, for Christmas, new year or Thanksgiving Celebrations. These family pictures helps to keep memories of the different milestones marked within the family.

I saw some family photos that caught my attention not just because of the color theme but because of the kind of fabrics and also the styles made out of them. Are you planning a family photo shoot and you have no idea on how to go about it? Then take a look at these pictures and draw inspiration from them as you plan a memorable photoshoot for your beautiful family:

Hello everyone,

Today i will be taking a trip to the northern part of Nigeria and i will be showing you beautiful and super gorgeous brides of the Hausa ethnic group adorned in stunning wedding outfits and costumes that portrays the beautiful northern Nigerian culture.

The HAUSA BRIDE stands out amongst others on her big day , from the choice of color them to choice of fabrics as well as choice of jewelry (mostly gold jewelry) and also the beautiful henna designs on the body.

The Hausas are a bit conservative in nature especially in fashion. most times they appear simple yet super classy. the average Hausa lady believes that less is more when it comes to fashion but they add the E to EXTRA when it comes to their wedding day. check some other blog posts i made about them HERE and HERE

For this post, i will be showing you some pictures of Hausa/Fulani brides that caught my fancy while trying to put this post together. lets see the pictures *drum rolls*

What do you think? amazing display of Nigerian culture right? that’s what was on my mind too.

We have beautiful cultures and traditions in our country which make us outstanding as a nation.

THEASOEBIJUNKIE WEEKEND SPOTLIGHT #thebashunion

Hello everyone,

Hope you are enjoying the long holiday if you are in Nigeria and Barka da Sallah to our Muslim community.

Today I’m bringing back your favourite series on this blog #theweekendspoltlight

This is actually the first one this year 🙈 ( check the last one HERE ) but over the weekend, a particular traditional wedding broke our timeline on different social media platforms with the hashtag #thebashunion and this triggered the need to bring back this series.

It was such a beautiful and colorful event with top celebrities and society ladies in attendance.

One striking thing about this wedding is that they didn’t choose any fabric as asoebi but they only made a uniform asooke for their party guests as asooke asoebi and it was beautiful.

Like I normally say here even though I’m a fabric vendor, when you want to choose asoebi always consider your guests. If a uniform gele be it #segogele or asooke will be perfect and affordable then it’s okay. You don’t have to use or sell fabrics as asoebi.

In this case , their party guests are high class ladies so money is not even a factor and most of these wealthy folks even give out asoebi for FREE. But it could be due to time frame because manufacturing and shipping fabrics in large quantity takes like a month to 6weeks that’s for air freight but asooke is made locally and it will be faster to get and distribute.

So choose whatever works for you and make it easy for your guests . You can choose affordable fabrics of great quality as asoebi or you can choose quality asooke gele or Sego gele for your asoebi or just pick a color code. Remember the most important thing is to have your guests honour you with their presence at your party.

Now let’s see the beautiful party guests we spotted at #thebashunion last weekend in their lemon green or Chartreuse color asooke gele asoebi:

First of the gorgeous couple ( Dara and Tosin) in all white looking super stunning

Then in their asooke traditional outfit ( Did you notice they are wearing different but complementary colors)

Now to the party guests in fabulous fabrics with the asooke :

Then some other party guests in different gorgeous designs without the asoebi gele but still caught our attention as they are spectacular in different colors also:

What do you think about #thebashunion traditional wedding? Share your thoughts in the comments section and will you use only asooke gele as asoebi for your party? Let me know why.

Cheers,

2019 WEDDING COLOR: EMERALD GREEN

Every year in African fashion, a particular color tend to dominate the scene. Even though Pantone releases the color of the year, when it comes to fashion in Nigeria colors of the year tend to take a different turn because we are a whole VIBE as a people and just one color will not be enough for us because we love to explore and “play” with colors a lot.

So some colors (not just one) rule our African fashion scene every year. As a fabric vendor, I deal with lots of customers making orders for retail/individual and asoebi/bulk orders . And I can categorically tell you that this year 2019, Emerald green have been of high demand by party guests, asoebi orders, bridal outfits as well as for individual use.

The color emerald green is quite dark but this color still pops on #brownskin girls and also on #myfairladies.

It’s perfect for both male and female as it exudes class, strength and power.

It’s so gorgeous that you don’t have to combine it with any other color to slay in it (emerald monotone combination is gorgeous) but if you will like to add some colors, you can combine it with red, gold, white, yellow, silver, blue and black.

Below are some gorgeous ladies slaying effortlessly in Emerald green:

What color will you match emerald with? Share your thoughts in the comments please.
