Hi, BellaNaijarians!
#BellaStylista is a new BellaNaija Style series for fashionistas who kill it every day! For work or play, this list is to inspire you as we celebrate those who inspire us with their sense of style. We’ll be sharing the top trends, fabulous street style looks and our fashion highlights for each week.
Making a style statement with each look is exciting but also takes a lot of work. This week, one important lesson we learnt from BellaStylistas is the power of accessorising. Our favourite style stars use easy/light details like colour popping bags, edgy eyewear, mixed print scarfs and statement caps to take simple street style wear from blah to fab!
Before you step out of the house, add one out-of-the-box accessory that may or may not compliment your look for that dash of style.
Check out our favourite styles this week and don’t forget to tag us with #BellaStylista or send your photos and Instagram handle to [email protected] to be featured next week.
