Spot the cold shoulder trend



Just when you think a fashion item is dead and buried, like a Phoenix, it rises again and becomes a trend when you least expect it. So many examples come to mind, from flared jeans to boot cut jeans, to skinny jeans, cropped tops and so on, fashion and trends are ageless and usually recycled.

The cold shoulder trend is a blast from the past and is the new cleavage. Spotted on several celebrities and everyday users already, it has already been incorporated into aso ebi styles and even office attires.

This style is fun, subtly sexy and conservative without feeling contrived and the good news is that it cuts across all ages and sizes. The cold shoulder style comes in tops, shirts and or dresses; they have the shoulder part cut off which leaves your shoulder and upper arms bare and demurely exposed, thus the name “cold shoulder”.

Amazingly, you can pair it with whatever piece you already own (for tops and shirts) or simply wear it like that (for shift dresses and maxi gowns). Sensually feminine, it is perfect for either a casual night on the town or going to the office.

Since the shoulders are exposed, a scarf draping or statement jewellery is a perfect complement to this piece.

FORMER commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Enugu state, Chief Joe Mammel has apologized to the people of the state, particularly to his native Ezeagu local government area for what he said was a disappointing outing of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 16 years. Mammel who also was the Chairman of Ezeagu local government council said he was sorry to have participated in what he called PDP’s disappointing 16 years outing. He tendered the apology at his country home, Aguobu-Owa, when a businessman from his community, Kingsley Ubenyi joined the APC at Eke Ozom market square. Mammel said: “I am now in APC because of change. Change is that you have to think before you leap, I have thought about it. One thing happened, like what passes through my local government, the Enugu-Onitsha express road. For 16 years I had been in government and my people have suffered, linking themselves to the commercial city was impossible and I am married to an Anambra woman and it was impossible f...

ZIKA VIRUS: ECOWAS warns Nigerians against home treatment of fevers

The Acting Executive Director of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, Regional Surveillance and Disease Control Centre, RCDC, Prof. Abdulsalami Nasidi has cautioned Nigerians against home management of any type of fever, particularly in women of child bearing age. His warning is coming on the heels of a prediction by The Lancet, an American scientific journal that Nigeria and seven other countries are potentially at risk of Zika virus spread. Reacting to The Lancet prediction in a telephone chat, Nasidi, who was former Director General of the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, urged all Nigerians to abide by the World Health Organisation, WHO, recommendation for management of fevers. “It is very true that Zika virus may likely spread to Nigeria because the vector and all the factors that can cause Zika abound in Nigeria. We don’t know the strain that is spreading it but all we know is that the strain is spreading so fast.” He told Good Health Weekly ...

I will decline N1 million English film for N200,000 Yoruba film – Oga Bello

When veteran Yoruba actor, Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello speaks, there is little else to do than to listen. With more than 50 years of experience in the movie industry, everything he says must be gold or one may just as well be doing away with wisdom as the man radiates wisdom, knowledge and experience. In a recent chat with Potpourri, the veteran Thespian gave reasons he has not been appearing much in English-speaking films, reiterating that what matters to him most is the preservation of Yoruba culture. He also admitted that he had not been getting many calls for English films even though the Yoruba ones are of more importance to him. “Well, I cannot speak for those people that did not invite me, they have their personal reasons and I don’t want to go into it so much but I am sure if am invited I can express myself and I can interpret roles in English,” he said. ““ I don’t normally participate in English films like Jide Kosoko does but I must confess to you...
