To HEEL or Not to HEEL...

Three 20-something women who went out for a night of fun equipped with high spirits and higher heels...




Take 1:  Lami "heels are for losers" Yakubu
Why does the popular LBD go only with heels? Why do most bouncers feel that a woman's ticket into a club equals heels? The resultant effect corns the size of a watermelon, shoes all over the floor that trip u when u trying to get down, women holding onto anything and anyone for support after hours of trying to dance to "party hard" in nine inches. - Yes guys, when a lady hangs onto you for darling life at a club its not PDA it's aching feet




Take 2:  Emikay "heels: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" Ogbeide
I can think of a million things I'd rather be doing right now, but I'm stuck soaking my feet in warm water; trying not to fall asleep. This is the price I have to pay for 'implicating' myself by dancing all night in my killer heels. I could blame it on Jago and his fantastic beats or that silly DJ that kept playing all my favorite songs... But to be honest its simply vanity over practicality.That dress and heels (legs always look better in them). I'd rather be pretty than comfortable #nowmassagingmyfeet.


Take 3:  Farrah " heels are the in-thing" Said
Heels are a cruel and unusual punishment. You should have seen us.. all dressed up, with a cross between a smile and why-the-heck-am-i-doing-this-to-myself look. Our legs wobbly like jelly. You've got to give it up to us women-folk though, being able to walk and gossip in heels (NOT BEANS!!!!!), but for me, it's a no-brainer: if it's the trend, imma get my heel-on!

The Sicilian Connection

"There's something about a man, a crisp white shirt and blue jeans..."

she says, her eyes glued to Fashion TV, the D&G SS2010 runway show in Milan.

Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana are synonymous with trend and sleek style, they know how to dress everything up. So when in Fall 2009 they debuted the 'Miss Sicily', bag snobs everywhere knew that was the iconic D&G bag the fashion world had been waiting for.

The quilted version was what came down the runway, but the bag has many variations. it comes in basic and classic WHITE and BLACK, red, snake skin and nude (both rare).

One of the first celebrities to get her hands on the bag was Miss Madonna (how we envy her), as she was the face for the their campaign. The likes of Fergie and Dita Von Teese have also gotten their well manicured mitts on it.

Although the bag critics have mixed feelings on the quilted version the one made of complete leather has unanimous adoration. It's price is waaaay lower than the much coveted Hermes Birkin or the fairly priced Chanel 2.55.

A visit to Kemi's Couture at 911 Mall Maitama will allay all fears or confirm all doubts. We at Style Cafe ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

Stylishly yours....

Do not be afraid... stylishly yours doesn't mean we're a bunch of blondes who only go goo goo ga ga over Dior's latest runway look. Nay! We're a bunch of people who love to cuddle up to a nice book, drink a good hot cup of tea/coffee/chocolate , discuss what really matters and go goo goo ga ga over Chanel's latest runway looks! We like to mix it up a bit!

We're the people at the back of the restaurant making all that noise that you somehow find yourself silently partaking in whatever seems to be the topic of discussion... we make it our business to know a little about alot.

We'll try to add that extra spice to what we figure is your waaaaay above average existence (sarcasm is lost on us).

Stylishy yours....
