Hello lovelies! Hope you're all doing okay?
I'll be sharing with you some of the reasons you should join me to own a maxi dress.
First of all, I'm not a fan of maxi dresses, I like my dresses short probably because I like my legs. As a kid, I'd battle with my mum about those long dresses. You know African mums and buying over-sized dresses they want you to grow with? So I grew up with a phobia for long dresses.


Lol unfortunately for me, I grew up to be vertically challenged. I discovered that maxi dresses make me look taller. Which brings me to my first point on why you should have a maxi dress. Short girls can now look taller than they really are with a maxi dress. So my short sisters have a bonus point on this  one.

Now while opting for a maxi dress, I like to keep it flowing. It's not a rule, it's just personal. Probably because I don't feel too comfortable with my stomach portruding on a very fitted long dress (cons of late night meals and love for swallow).

It's also important to know that a maxi dress can make you look old and outdated if you don't wear it stylishly. What my Igbo folks like to call Mary Amaka. So, if you don't want to exude the Mary Amaka look then wear it well. For example, keep the sleeves short or make it sleeveless or off-shoulder. Most importantly, it has to be the right fit, not oversized.

I'm definitely going to own a lot of maxi dresses henceforth because they are classy, can't go out of style, good for formal events and red carpets and at the same time good for vacations, casual outings, garden parties, cookouts, beach outings and a whole lot more. Not forgetting the added advantage of making me look taller.


I especially love this maxi dress because of it's versatility, and the slits on it give me the cool option of wearing with denim pants or even shorts underneath.
So if you like my dress and want to get yours, contact me for this Reine Maxi available in all sizes and different African Prints.

Hello lovelies! Hope you're good? I'm glad I have a bit of time to drop this here.
OK! So you know how I love to tell stories. Here's one story behind my outfit choice.
My dad walked into my room one early morning with two ties and asked me "Ada which of these two ties would suit this shirt better?" So I chose one, he thanked me and left. After a while I saw the other tie lying on my bed, I examined it and saw it was pretty cool, so I decided to rock it.

There is the notion that ties are for men. Yes they are, but they can be worn by both sexes. Women wear ties these days and they wear it well too. So I didn't wear the tie so seriously to show you that a tie as an accessory can be fun too. A pair of denim trousers, a shirt and a blazer and finished off with the tie. For me it was just about having fun with these pieces and it actually turned out great.

Don't streamline ties to the gents alone. You should try it, go all the way to the badass type of corporate or just be funky like me. *winks*
Happy Easter to you, enjoy the holidays and remember your comments are always appreciated.

Happy new month people! Yay it's the month of the love and romance! I envy all of you that have plans for Val's Day, I'm pretty sure I'd spend mine writing exams. Nothwithstanding, I'll give you a post about how to spice up your Val's Day outfit.

Anyways, I want to talk about my monochrome outfit. I used to think that dressing in monochrome was very boring till I learnt that when it comes to fashion there are no rules and anything can  be exciting depending on the person wearing it.


So I decided to have fun with this striped palazzo, paired with my matching striped headtie and blacked out the rest. Yes I chose red lipstick because I needed my face to pop. I think the secret is; just learn to have fun with your outfits. Dig into that wardrobe and turn your mirror to your runway audience, always works for me.

Thank you @seebace of Bace Media for the photography.
So, tell me what you think about the outfit.

Hi lovelies!
Last time I kept in touch was last year! How have you been? Hope you had a fabulous holiday? I hope it's not to late to say, Happy New Year!!!

I love the beginning of each year, people get to make resolutions, take a look at themselves and evaluate the previous year, people also get very spiritual too. The thing is, after sometime the fire burns out and old ways are plied once again. I'm not good at making New Year resolutions but I want to work with you this year. So please, feel free to send me an email and tell me what you want from my blog this year and we could work something out.

Over the holidays, I developed a special love for dungarees and I'll be exploring that trend consequently. Dungarees or overalls are usually worn with t-shirts right? So how about a different spice? Actually this look was inspired by one of my style icons, Rhonke Fella. I just decided to try it out and I love it.  So feel free to go edgy with us, if you like fashion risks.

I'll be giving out a gift to the top commenter on my blog soon, so stay in touch.
Don't forget to tell me what you expect from Stylereine this new year. Let me know via email; sharonaijayokereke@gmail.com or send me a message on Instagram @sharonn_oh or on Facebook. Have a great year ahead and

The festive season is here again! Christmas is in the air, jingle bells are ringing, tailors are in a frenzy and everybody wants something special this season. Most of us like to treat ourselves to a special outfit for the season. Maybe for that wedding, TM, village festival or just a trip to see the in-laws, *winks*.
Anyways I trolled instagram and I selected these top styles for you. We are Africans and ankara is our thing, so if you've been confused about what to make in ankara, worry no more because I got you covered!

1. The off-shoulder top
I did an article on the off-shoulder trend earlier and I'm sure the style will be around for sometime. A bunch of guys on my facebook call it the "skirt-top", whatever bro! It's super stylish and simple enough to be rocked without stress.

2. Ankara kimono:
Very simple and can be worn with anything; skirt, dress or trousers. If you want something versatile, this should be your pick.

3. The Backless Dress:
This style has been making waves on the red carpet and I totally love the ankara version of it. I won't advise you to wear it to your village market though, but it's totally beautiful and fit for a wedding or that special occasion.

4. The off-shoulder dress:
There is the off-shoulder top and the dress. Whether it is fitted or free, this dress is something worth having.


5. The high-low top:
This one is on my must-have list. You can have the high-low at the back or at the side, just do whatever works for you!


6. Anakara Blazer:
My advice for this one is that not every tailor can slay this. Get a good tailor and rock the jacket.


7. Clashing Prints:
Looking for something edgy? Clash the prints! This one is quite tricky, the secret is in the blend. The prints are different but they blend. This style will make you stand out in a crowd.


8. The Agbada:
You don't need to be a Yoruba demon to slay agbada. It is unisex, decent and totally African. If you want to be the show-stopper, do the Agbada! There is something about a woman in agbada, it's like putting on that board-room power suit. Although this one is a bit pricey, it's always worth the money spent.



I hope I helped you wardrobe selection this season. Is there any style you think is missing from the list?  Feel free to add to the list by dropping your thoughts in the comment box below or just tell me what you think about the list. And if you need a personal shopper or stylist, you can always contact me via my email sharonaijayokereke@gmail.com

Hello lovelies, hope you've been good?
Today, I want to talk about the retro-urban look. For me, the retro-urban look is basically a fusion of a retro look and an urban look. It is not just a mixture of the old and the new but essentially a blend of the old and new. The both styles have to blend together into one look.

Whilst choosing this outfit I had a lot to consider. I chose different colours just to make it more edgy, why play safe? High-waisted shorts trended in the 80's and 90's and well, a blazer and shirt is more urban. So I decided to throw them together and finish with boots.
Not forgeting the afro, it is all part of the ensemble. You know how afro and natural hair just came back in vogue from the past.

When it comes to urban style, you need to be bold, you need to express yourself, you need to be edgy, you need to take risks, there are no rules, anything goes. When it comes to urban style, I think Rihanna can do no wrong. Just make sure you find that balance and blend, especially if you're in Nigeria where you can be mobbed in the market if you go overboard.


Shout out to @seebace on Instagram of Bace Media for the photography. We went through hell to get this location which I had stuck in my head.

I have a very banging interview coming up soon, you'll totally love the guest.
Please I'd like to know your thoughts on this, do share in the comment box.
