FASHION and STYLE

 Most of us are pretty busy; just about everyday. Some like it that way. Being busy is almost a status symbol, as it shows you're important and productive. We spend most of our times out of our homes, and it will be very frustrating coming home to a disorganized home to relax, right? Well, there are a few steps we can take to make our homes more harmonious and peaceful to return to at the end of a busy day.

• Create a great focal point                                                           This should be something unique that will draw anyone that steps into the home. Have you ever entered a room and did not notice anything? If this is the case, then the room lacked a decent focal point. Basically, a focal point will draw people's attention and impress them with the decor of the room. It can also create a certain mood or theme that defines the emotional impact the room is intended to create.
  
  

• Get Organized!                                                                      The importance of having an organized home cannot be overemphasized. Remove clutter and create space. Most often, it is frustrating to arrange a home all at once, but you can take it a step at a time. Each night before going to bed, you can put stuff back in place, take out trash and unwanted stuff, clean plates and pots and counter tops, put clothes you were trying out before you went to work back in the closet or in your laundry. Organizational skills can be learned. With time, you become a pro and faster at putting things in place. Getting organized helps you to take control of your space, time and life. It will allow you to become more focused, relaxed and productive.
  
  
  
                                                                                                                                         
• Good Lighting                                                                       The lighting in a home changes the mood of a room. Good lighting enhances the mood and desirability of spaces. It also contributes to people's sense of well-being. A lot of people leave out the importance of lighting and focus on furniture and other things. Natural lighting is very important, so opt for homes with large windows and natural lighting. For homes with with small windows, play with mirrors. Place mirrors on walls opposite windows to reflect daylight and create a brighter home.                                                                                                       
  
  
• Use Soothing Hues                                                                      Color is a wonderful tool you can employ to create a stress-free and peaceful home. For a relaxing atmosphere, go with tranquil blues, greens and grays. Whites and beiges also well stick with natural tones. Keep bright and jarring colors out of furniture and fabrics in areas you wish to keep calm. Bright colors create an energizing effect, and our goal is to create the opposite effect.
  
  

•  Bring the outdoors in                                                                  Whatever your style, flowers and plants are the perfect way to add beauty and warmth to your home. The calming influence of natural environments is conducive to positive work environments by increasing one's ability to concentrate and relax.
  
  
  

 
Hello Fashion lovers,hope y'all have been having a nice time and dressing splendidly well to get yourselves more admirers and compliments as you step out each day;Nevertheless,this is a new month and am saying a Happy New Month to you all.

   In affirming that, today's post will be on a brief introduction on PERFECTING your wardrobe,with the inclusion of the BURGUNDY apparels and footwears to brighten your look and step up your fashion statement.
    Quickly,before we begin the enlightening adventure of unravelling the mystery behind burgundy,lets have a brief introduction of the burgundy colour.
 Burgundy is a dark Red colour associated with the burgundy wine of the same name. The colour burgundy is similar to other shades of dark Red colour,such as MAROON,CORDOVAN, and OXBLOOD(am sure,some of us might have heard of oxblood),but they all differ from each other in subtle ways. For example,Cordovan with its origin of equine leather used for shoes has a slightly fairer,lighter brown colour whilst oxblood,typically used in description of clothing,particularly leather,has a much richer red.
    We will be looking at the burgundy colour in 9 different forms(apparels and footwears) as seen below.

  A Camera bag,as earlier stated in one of the previous posts,is a smaller,but longer version of the messenger bag as it sometimes might vary in length, which is meant to be strapped across the shoulders or carried on the shoulder/hand.

      You probably might be surprised that,what does FASHION/MENSFASHION have to do with a CAMERA BAG or has this blog run out of Information or updates?,NO,not as you thought;The essence of this post is to rebrand the whole idea of CAMERA BAGs,and to give tips to amateur/professional photographers on how to add and put a touch of class to the endearing packaging of their hard earned photography equipments and on the other side,for tourists that will love to capture the lively moments of their tour.

     A camera bag is a discreet but severely stylish way to lug around your belongings. What makes the camera bag stand out as a classic men's bag is its ability to bring a speckle of class and high reputation to a man(photographer,tourist,and anybody) even if it is hanging from your shoulder. It’s a simple style with a whole lot of function.
     A Camera bag comes mainly in two forms,the leather form and the canvas form; But unfortunately some men have put off the idea of the use of a Canvas camera bag,after surrounding themselves in the beauty of a leather camera bag.
                      LEATHER
                    CANVAS
      



   I will like to correct that notion and throw/shed more light on the choice of a Camera bag either for a photoshoot or a tour,here a few things you put in mind in your choice of a Camera bag either for a shoot or a tour.

* OUTFIT MUST SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AS YOUR CAMERA BAG;
    All am trying to say here,is that when you are on a corporate outfit, you should consider and make sure your Camera bag is also looking all corporate,and on the other side,if your outfit is casual,compliment that outfit with a casual looking Camera bag.




* SELECTION OF COLOUR SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED;
   Here,your outfit and Camera bag should be of a particular scale,what am saying is,if you going with bright colours,stay bright; And if it is on the other side,go all dull/not-too-bright  colours with your Camera bag and outfit,so as not to create a mixed feeling to your client or your admirers.




* TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR CAMERA BAG
 Some folks believe only in taking good care of the inner equipments in the bag,rather than taking good care of both sides,this bad habit sometimes makes some folks look unattractive,cause it shows that you not manly enough or organized.
