The Little Red Dress.

The little red dress is a timeless piece that every woman should have. It has always been in fashion, but has been tweaked a little to follow the latest trends like the 3/4 length dress, lace, peplums, etc. The little red dress can be worn to any occasion depending on what you accessorize it with. It is a very bold statement and gets you easily noticed when you walk into a room. The little red dress makes every woman feel more confident and of course, beautiful.

The Peplum.

Hey guys. So a new and really hard to miss trend on the fashion scene now is the peplum. I know we've been seeing peplum looks in the past, but it looks like its back again and here to stay. 

The peplum is that short overskirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse, or dress. It has been spotted on runways and celebs around the world and they've carried the look very nicely. But be warned, a peplum top can only be worn on a pair of pants or a fitted skirt not a flared skirt, and peplum dresses are also good if u need to hide a little bump around the tummy area. ;) 

Jessica Biel's Dress.

The pictures from Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's wedding were finally released on the November edition of People's Magazine. She's wearing a Giambattista Valli gown. Its a custom, strapless petal-pink gown made of silk mousseline and silk organza. Gorgeous!

The Lagos Fashion and Design Week.
