According to Wikipedia Afro, sometimes shortened to 'fro and also known as a "natural", is a hairstyle worn naturally by people with lengthy kinky hair texture or specifically styled in such a fashion by individuals with naturally curly or straight hair. The hairstyle is created by combing the hair away from the scalp, allowing the hair to extend out from the head in a large, rounded shape, much like a halo, cloud or ball.

In persons with naturally curly or straight hair, the hairstyle is typically created with the help of creams, gels or other solidifying liquids to hold the hair in place. Particularly popular in the African-American community of the late 1960s, the hairstyle is often shaped and maintained with the assistance of a wide-toothed comb colloquially known as an afro pick.

The style was popular in the 80’s but then it began coming back but with different variations. Both men and women can rock the afro Hairstyle as it is simple to maintain and keep. All you need is your natural hairs and let it grow out. It is mostly common for Africans since their hair is frizzy and natural. Styling is just combing it out or you can put a band at the front to make it different. Would you wear an Afro hairstyle today?

Dress designed by Charles Frederick Worth for Elisabeth of Austria painted byFranz Xaver Winterhalter

The history of fashion design refers to the development of the fashion industry which designs clothing and accessories. Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. The modern fashion industry, based around firms or fashion houses run by individuals usually male designers, started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created
•             Couture beginnings
The first fashion designer who was not merely a dressmaker was Charles Frederick Worth (1826–1895). Before the former draper set up his maison de couture (fashion house) in Paris, clothing design and creation was handled by largely anonymous tailors and seamstresses, and high fashion descended from styles worn at royal courts. Worth's success was such that he was able to dictate to his customers what they should wear.
•             Early twentieth century
Throughout the early 20th century, practically all high fashion originated in Paris and to a lesser extent London. Fashion magazines from other countries sent editors to the Paris fashion shows. Department stores sent buyers to the Paris shows, where they purchased garments to copy (and openly stole the style lines and trim details of others). Both made-to-measure salons and ready-to-wear departments featured the latest Paris trends, adapted to the stores' assumptions about the lifestyles and pocket books of their targeted customers.


The First Family has always been known to dress elegantly, in classic pieces that bring out the best looks and fashion statements. Barack Obama wife Michelle Obama and children Malia Obama and Sasha Obama have very unique and different tastes in fashion which always translate into trends that the whole world looks to and follows.

Though Barack Obama is almost always n suits, his pieces are always smartly cut and are fitting. They are what every fashionable man should be emulating. The shoes are always polished to a tee and match with whatever cut of suit he is wearing. If it is a casual look like just a pair of pants and shirt, they are usually fitted and bring out his fit physique. In jeans Barack Obama knows how to wear what looks great on him. He kind of made the rolled up sleeve to become a trend that most men quite took to since it shows a casual yet ready to work kind of look.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton are separating after nearly nine years of marriage. "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the couple said in a joint statement to People magazine Monday (Feb. 24). The two married in June 2005 and welcomed their son, Julian, in 2010. News of the split comes after Thicke was photographed getting close to women other than his wife. In September, a socialite claimed she kissed the "Blurred Lines" singer after meeting at a VMAs after-party at 1Oak. In January, he was seen "dirty dancing" with a woman in Paris, FishWrapper reported.

Thicke, 36, and Patton, 38, met when they were just teenagers. “I knew she was special the night I met her. I was only 14, but she was already the most special girl," he told Star magazine in September. “As a relationship progresses, you fall in love again in so many deeper ways. You realize that you need each other and you can’t live without each other." That same month, the actress gushed about her marriage during an interview with YourTango. "He loves me so much and the feeling is mutual," she said. "The best is when you love someone deeply and those feelings are equally returned. Also, Robin is really there for me. When times are good or bad or sad or happy or boring, just having somebody by your side to help you through means everything. I know I can count on him standing right next to me always."
Even though they have split here are some of their fashionable moments

I'm loving the Pleated Chiffon Maxi Skirt that's an overflow trend from 2013. The Skirt is beautiful, versatile and with the light fabrics, it is especially worn during the  hot weather but with warm tops and even cardigans it can be worn when the weather is a bit colder. Every woman’s wardrobe should contain a pleated chiffon maxi skirt because it easy and simple to mix with different styles of clothing and garments. Plus the added advantages of making the wearer look taller and slimmer because of its cut.
The best way to wear the pleated chiffon maxi skirt is with fitted tops and cardigans, since the skirt s free and airy wearing something baggy will make you look horrifying and just odd and nobody wants to cause attention for all the wrong reasons! Moreover the tops should not be too long in order to create a bit of balance on the wearer.

Clothing and how we dress has a lot to do with what we want other people to view us as. Clothes define the people who wear them as they say to the others what dressing means and why we dress like we do
Dressing is not just about putting on materials to cover ourselves, it usually has a meaning whether we choose to acknowledge that or not. Clothes speak and sometimes even more than we want to imagine. The clothes are more vocal in terms of giving the other person permission to address us in regards to how we are dressed. It is natural that you will always dress the way you view yourself. It is a subconscious decision that we make for ourselves without even knowing it.

It’s been six years since Katy Perry announced herself with “I Kissed a Girl,” which became her first hit single (and somehow made Chapstick sexy). Ever since, her immense popularity has stemmed largely from her ability to straddle that divide between Madonna (one of her idols) and girl next door. Far more wholesome than that twisted genius Lady Gaga, Perry still exudes vastly more heat and sensuality than, say, Taylor Swift. Part of that’s due to Perry’s top-heavy physicality, but her sly lyrics and full-throated delivery deserve credit, too.
In her music, all of which she co-writes, she handily mixes innocence with lust. She wants to be your homecoming queen and made her mark singing about reading Seventeen and learning how to shave her legs. But she also yearns to melt your Popsicle and see your peacock, cock, cock. When you add in God—she was raised Pentecostal and once recorded on a Christian label—things get even more complicated.

However much you would like to ignore the dark eyes circles, they stand out and are able to be seen so there usually is no sense in refusing to make the problem go away. This is where the use of makeup comes in. it does not matter whether you use little or no makeup at all, the dark circles will have to be concealed as you wait for nature to take its course and make them disappear.

I know, it’s the second month of 2014 and resolutions are usually made in the beginning of the year. I never really make resolutions or write them down anyway just thoughts I tick off in my head as I go along. But I’ve decided I need to make this one, I haven’t really been blogging that much due to some unrelated reasons and other stresses of life. So this time I think I need to put it down on paper as a goal I have for this New Year 2014. Written down resolutions have more meaning than just declaring something and let it fall as it may. And the best part is that now that I will put it down I will have no more excuses as to why I have not achieved it come December 31st 2014. Now that I will share it with the whole world I will have people that I will be accountable to…not just for encouragement but also for critiques.

Last year 2013 saw collections that were extravagant, crazy, beautiful and in various colors. The Fall Fashion Trend in 2013 was Cobalt Blue which is one color that I have been crazy about. The color was seen on designers’ collection like Valentino , Victoria Beckham, Michael Kors and DKNY. Blue especially Cobalt Blue , and showcased this amazing blue in their 2013 Fall/Winter collections.

Fashion Geek Turns TWO this month!!!! I'm so excited! It has been tow years of having fun writing about what I love, being inspired by the many fashion Trends, Accessories and all things Fashion. I never dreamed that I would still be writing Fashion Geek with as much enthusiasm and excitement now as I still had when I began writing this blog.  I wrote my first post on 27/12/2011 and I have never looked back. Fashion has always inspired me and I love discovering what is new out there. I love Designers and the kinds of clothes that they bring out every season. Fashion Geek has been like the best friend of fashion where I can pour out my thoughts without worrying whether they will be wrong or right. After all Fashion is all about how you feel, what you want at that moment, the kind of emotions that the piece of cloth or fabric brings out and whether you are satisfied with what you have put on. Just simple pleasures that you get in Fashion.


During Christmas we all want to fill our homes with the cheers and spirit of Christmas through home decor.  Christmas is a time that you get to spend with your family some who have been away for some reason or the other. You therefore want to create a space that is filled with festivities, warmth and love because Christmas time does that…brings everyone to gather. Decorating should not have to be a headache or something that you dread doing rather it should be the time to bring everyone and have them be involved in the decorating of the home.
The Christmas tree is usually the center point of the whole festivities therefore you will do good to find one before all the last minute rushes and you end up with leftovers or less than impressive tree. There are many varieties of trees that range in color, size and even shape. People have moved from the traditional green tree and are even embracing the red or even white Christmas tree. So don’t be afraid to venture from the traditional. The tree can be put in the garden but most people prefer it in the living room especially in corners or around fireplaces.


Fashion Geek turns 2 years old this month of December and I thought what better way to celebrate than to talk about Leather Bracelet Watches. Not only are they functional but they are classy, sexy and look beautiful on any arm. Forget about the Traditional normal watches why not combine beauty and a sense of time all rolled into one to create a look that is great. The Leather Bracelet Watches are Vintage looking and therefore bring out the classic yet simple elegance that is both creative and fashion forward. These Bracelet Watches can be worn as an accessory and will compliment any look that you go for. whether it be casual, official or just elegance for an evening out, they are great as an addition to any outfit. There are a variety of designs to choose from, they range in various colors while some even have interchangeable straps that would go with your mood, outfit or the color that you choose to wear. The Watches can even be studded, have charms in them or just simply have leather straps, it's like wearing two trends in one! Here are some cool Leather Bracelet Watches to inspire you to get one.
Enjoy!!!

Don't be afraid of Studs or Spikes in your life. Studs and spikes have this rocker chic feel that you can incorporate in your wardrobe. They can be worn on leather and even denim jackets. You can wear studded neck piece, bangles and even rings. Studs and spikes on shoes are the most popular and they are mostly on heels, stilettos while some are on flat shoes.
You can decide to go slow with studs by carrying a studded or spiked handbag or clutch bag. The studs can be as many or as few as you prefer, for instance the studs can be at the back of the jacket or even just at the shoulders for that rock illusion. Studs and spikes are a great way to dress when going for a concert or even a date. The possibilities are endless you decide how to wear the studs and spikes trend!
You can find studded loafers at Zara, Steve Madden, Romwe, Oasap, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius...check out some studded and spiked items to get your creative juices going...

Wide brim Hats are not only a necessity when it comes to staying in the sun,they are a fashion accessory that can be worn to the beach or even to an event like a wedding or afternoon tea party with the girls.Since they are so versatile and colorful always pick one that matches your outfit.You can wear one that is made of the same pattern as your outfit or contrasting. Wide brim Hats can be made from cotton material, woven using sisal or even velvet material. They can be accessorized by adding a ribbon around the brim,tying a scarf around it or adding jewellery to the sides of it.Due to their size and design,the Wide Brim Hats should only be worn for informal functions or going for vacation in Tropical places. Add a touch of class to your hat by adding cute sunglasses and the Hats go really well especially with Maxi Dresses.

Shoe Cleavage or also known as Toe Cleavage is a term I heard on a daytime show where the guest was introducing new shoes for the fall. This style is where your toes are not fully in the shoe but visible. For me it looks like the shoes are not the right size while some look like the shoe is  a torture chamber. If you can find a way of making the Shoe/Toe cleavage work for you like a sexy peek-a-boo of your toes,well and good go for it.What is your opinion do you like this so called trend or is it just a fad or an excuse to wear shoes that don't fit?
