SPRING SUMMER 2012 TREND SPOTLIGHT: The High-Low Hem

The high-low hem is one of this season's trends and I have been longing to try it out. Also called a mullet, it has been around since the early 1990s and has been given a vibrant twist in African print.

Here is my custom made ASAKEOGE version I wore to the IRock UK Charity Fundraiser.

Spring Summer 2012 Trend, Floral Pants: 5 Ways to Wear

 First seen on the Spring/Summer 2012 catwalks, the floral print pants is a must for this season.
Fashion forward celebrities like Rihanna and Beyonce were quick to take on the look and give it their  own twist.

Rihanna went double denim with a blue floral pair of jeans and denim shirt. Heart those shoes.
Beyonce, below, went for a bright coloured lower half and a top half in darker tones, putting the focus on the floral pants.  I think this makes her look more bottom heavy than usual but she still looks amazing 1 

And of course it caught on real quick with fashionably fab folk.

I especially love this look above the jacket is an exquisite piece of tailoring and I love those glasses !

 So here is my own take on this trend. I have done it five ways. What's your favorite look ?

Rihanna's Met Gala Dress & AsakeOge Aduwon Dress

So the fashion judges have been all up in arms about the style misses from the Met Ball dresses and eloquent in praise for those who hit the mark. For AsakeOge, one dress stood out tres much and it was Rihanna's Crocodile backless dress.
Although the hair looks abit off for her usual style, the putting together of the right from her black painted fingernails to her shoes scores a 9/10 in out books. She looked absolutely fab. What made this outfit all the more special is because it looks very similar to our very own Aduwon Dress.
