The new ‘Touch of Sculpture’ fabric collection from Vlisco teases the senses. Blink and look again – you’ll see the same thing twice, but on a different level. A double layer, seemingly rigid, flows in sync with the rapid movement of the fabric. The collection, a true celebration of textiles, embraces various textile techniques. Experience the passionate warmth of a soft colour scheme containing both romantic pinks and reds and subtle greens and blues, resulting in silky smooth combinations that can be blended endlessly.
Some Fashionable styles in Ankara
“Colour is powerful! Colours are fraught with symbolism, and cultural influences. There is also a physiological affect when colour is applied. TeKay Designs salutes colours with an exciting array of fashion looks that display exuberant hues for this spring and also offer an ethnic casual and semi-formal collection of multicolored jumpsuits, jackets, skirts, tops, and dresses made of Ankara fabrics and adorned with trims.
We display different unique styles from two colours- yellow and orange. Let’s give a little insight into these colours.
For example, the colour yellow has proven to stimulate the brain. This stimulation can make you more alert and decisive. This colour actually makes muscles more energetic.
Also, the colour orange is known to have positive effects on your emotional state. This colour helps relieve feelings of self-pity, a lack of self-worth and unwillingness to forgive. It is also mentally stimulating as well as socially inviting.
The EKOCYCLE Headphones
If you’re in the market for a new set of headphones and you’re keen on picking up something that’s environmentally-friendly as well, the EKOCYCLE might be just what you’re looking for. Created by Coca-Cola and Beats by Dr. Dre, EKOCYCLE headphones are part of a new global sustainability and recycling initiative called EKOCYCLE. The brand will feature products partially made from recycled materials to help raise environmental awareness amongst the younger generation.
In addition to Beats headphones, more products will be added to the EKOCYCLE lineup later this year. Expect an official launch of the headphones in the near future after the EKOCYCLE brand makes its debut tomorrow with a 60-second on air commercial during the telecast of the Summer Olympic Games. I don’t have much details about the headphones for now but according to reuters, the EKOCYCLE headphones are expected to cost around $349 thats around N55840 at our current exchange rate in Nigeria, hmmm how far can we go to listen to good music, i mean, It may be friendly to the environment, but too bad we can’t say the same for our wallets.
Fashion Tips for the Petite and not so Petite
Ist off is a Phillip Lim Silk Blazer, Use your tailor for more than just jeans. If something you love has a slight fit issue, consider your tailor’s abilities. Can this baggy skirt be taken in? These jacket sleeves be shortened? Once you start to see clothes for what they could look like-instead of how they appear on the rack-shopping will get easier. (And a lot more fun!)
Next stop is the Boys’ Cotton-Cashmere V-Neck Sweater, You should be going off what fits, not what a tag says. So, wear tunic tops as dresses if you’re under 5’4! Buy ankle jeans in lieu of regular length! Crop tops are really good for girls with short torsos and on some, midi skirts make great maxis. Also, if you are in 0-2 size range, try shopping in the little boys department at places like Brooks Brothers or J.Crew. Not only is it the best place to find menswear inspired pieces you won’t be swimming in, but everything costs less, too. True story. Wore it with cropped black pants and stilettos and felt like a walking Celine ad all day long.
3. Eight Sixty Floral Printed Miniskirt, funky yea but This is especially important with skirts. You don’t want to buy anything that hits right at the knee, which instantly frumpifies an outfit. When in doubt, go for the very short or very long-both will have a lengthening effect.
Next stop is a Prada Dégradé Peep Toe Pump…this shoe is off the chains,have a few good ones in your arsenal as Slightly too long pants and skirts can be saved in a pinch by the addition of high heels. Your closet should also be stocked with at least two belts-skinny and thick-for salvaging overly baggy dresses and tops lol just saying though.
and Finally we have a Vintage Floral Printed Silk Dress, Brands cut clothing much smaller in the mid-twentieth century than they do today, which makes thrift stores a treasure trove for petite gals. Of course, you’ll probably still have to get a few things altered, but, you have to do that anyways. So it might as well be for an amazing ’50s tea dress that no one else will have, right?

Nigeria Art and Culture::::the Old Oyo National Park
As a Nigerian, i think its fit that i try to showcase my country in all its glory .
Old Oyo National Park, the park which was named after the Old Oyo – the political capital of the Oyo Empire between the 16th and 18th centuries, spans a remarkable 2,512 sq km (970 sq mi), most of which fall in Oyo State, some extends to Kwara State. The park, which is made up of two previous native administrative forest reserves – the Upper Ogun (1936) and Oyo-lle (1941) Forest Reserves, are unique ecosystem and historical relics converted to game reserves in 1952 and finally upgraded to the present status of a National Park.
Situated just about 51 km north of Ibadan city, and it harbours Nile crocodile, rock python and land tortoise. The top attractions of the park which are of historical and archaeological value, are situated at the northern end of the park and these include the relics of the old city walls of Oyo Ile, the great Agbaku cave which has evidence of stone age, the “kosomonu” hill, the old Akesan Market, Alaafin’s Palaces with crucibles of pottery used some centuries ago.
The rest of the park is a wild life park covering many hectares of land and a camp site for tourists. Wild life encountered includes elephant, buffalo, antelope and baboons. Visitors can also check out the wildlife museum at Akoto base camp or try the lake cruising on Ikere Gorge Lake, mountaineering, sport fishing etc.
The park has total land mass of 2,512km2 and is located in southwestern part of Nigeria at latitude 8° 15’ and 9° 00’N and longitude 3° 35’ and 4° 42’E. The location has inevitably placed the park at a vantage position of abundance land area as well as diverse wildlife and cultural/historical settings. The administrative office is located in Oyo Isokun area along Oyo-lseyin road, where necessary information and booking could be made. The landscaping and organized space within the large yard has made the facility very endearing to the public.
The park has four types of vegetation which are dense woodland and forests outliers in the southeast part; mixed open savanna woodland in the central part, outcrop vegetation in the northeast and riparian grassland and fringing woodland occupying the forest plains and valleys along the Ogun River.
Outcrops of granite characterize the Northeastern zone of the park especially at Oyo-lle. The central part of the park has isolated hills and ridges of numerous rock outcrops. The extreme northern part on its own has caves as well as rock shelters dominating the axis.
The drainage system is also interesting as the park is well drained by rivers Ogun, Owu, Owe and their tributaries in the central and southern parts, while river Tessi drains the northeastern part of the park.
Fauna Fauna are found more abundantly in the southern part of the park which includes lion, western kob, roan antelope, western hartebeest, Grimm’s duiker, oribi, crested porcupine, anubis baboon, patas monkey, tantalus monkey, buffalo, red river hog, gaboon viper, spotted hyena, nile crocodile, rock python, land tortoise, waterbuck, bushbuck, warthog, guinea fowl, hammer kop, African fish eagle, bush fowl, Senegal parrot, grey heron, grey hornbill, white-headed plover, yellow mantled whydah etc.
There are more than 30 bird species recorded in the park. Some of the well known ones are Guinea Fowl, Hammer Kops, White headed Plover, African fish eagle (Cucumber vociferous), Yellow mantled Whydah (Euplectes spp), Bush fowl (Francolinus bicalcaratus), Senegal Fire-finch (Lagonostica senegalus), Grey Hornbill (Tockus nasitus) Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) Bannerman’s Weaver (Ploceus bannermani) crossley’s Ground.
