Why we love....Lanre 'Elle' Ajayi

So I am dedicating this post to one of my best friends and Nefertiti's personal shopper Lanre Ajayi aka 'Elle'. My dear friend didn't want the publicity but after loads of pretty pleases and persistent reminders, she finally gave in and sent me a few pictures.

I've known Lanre for over 10 years and I have always admired her style.  Her style is effortlessly chic and classy.  If I could compare her style to a celebrity's, it would probably be Solange knowles or any of the sex and city gals Charlotte, Carrie or Miranda.  So when I thought about Nefertiti and shopping for clothings and accessories, I called on Lanre for some fashpiration.  Just like most power dressers, she loves vintage pieces and believes every woman must have one or two in her wardrobe.

Elle gives Nefertiti fans 5 free fashion tips:

1.  Get a vintage piece - Vintage pieces have become more popular.  Even Beyonce collects vintage chanel pieces.

2. Heels - God bless whoever invented heels. They've never been out of fashion



3. Accessorise - The easiest and 'pocket friendliest' way to transform an outfit from plain to fab is with statement pieces

4. Accentuate your waistline - Peplum dresses/ blouses, flared pants, high waisted trousers, shorts or skirts accentuate your waistline and give you that slim chic look. 

5. Be comfortable in your clothes - You don't want to tug, tuck or shove any part of your body or clothes when you are out. Put on clothes you feel comfortable in.
