Ankara Fashion for Women

The Ankara Fashion has been trending for a while now and everybody seems to be embracing it with zeal and excitement. African Prints have never been so popular as they are right now.

With the Ankara fashion, you can go as simple or as wild as you like. Mix the prints and be adventurous, wear a single print or mix and match with a plain colored top or bottom. The possibilities of the Ankara Print Fashion are endless, just have fun and show the world your inner fashion sense. Sample some styles that you can be inspired with.

Louis Vuitton Condoms, Designed By Irakli Kiziria,

You've heard of top-notch bedding and lingerie brands, but is there room in bed for another designer?
One artist seems to think so.
Georgia Republic architect Irakli Kiziria has designed a Louis Vuitton condom, enveloped in the label's notorious brown packaging and adorned with what looks like raised lettering (for enhanced pleasure, we can only assume). The luxury rubbers are priced at $68 each, according to the "official" website. (Scroll below for photos.)
To put the price in perspective, $68 could buy you about six 12-packs of regular condoms.
But before you head to your nearest Louis Vuitton retailer, you should know the condoms aren't available in stores. (Bummer, right?)
In fact, Kiziria has no affiliation with the Louis Vuitton company and drafted the condoms in collaboration with Design Provocation as a design-project, according to the website. The team hoped to launch the product on World AIDS Day and donate the proceeds to amfAR, The Foundation For AIDS Research.

Michelle Obama in Stripes

Michelle Obama looks great in any outfit she wears. This year's trends have seen the stripped look come back and since she is stylish lady, She looks quite good in this stripped look. The trick with stripes is you have to be careful not to over do it or else you end up looking too busy and out of place.
For stripes you can have a portion of the outfit with a single line or two of stripes or you can have stripes from top to bottom.
The stripes can be vertical or horizontal but caution needs to be taken when choosing the pattern for the stripes. If you are really tall and slim avoid vertical stripes as they will make you look elongated and taller than you really are, on the other hand if you are full figured avoid horizontal stripes as they will make you to appear larger than your real size.
Either way if you can pull off both horizontal and vertical stripes, have fun experimenting with color, texture a mix of several colors and even designs. Just pick a fashion idea from the First Lady and you can never go wrong or regret coming out of the house. As you can see whether it is state functions, dinner, a day out with the family or on official business stripes are a wonderful, sexy and elegant fashion style.
Stripes can be a full dress, a skirt or just a blouse, even a stripped scarf would suffice. Trust Michelle, she knows what looks good and knows how to work it!
