My Style: Debo Laleye

Posted on Friday, June 24th, 2011 at 12:20 PM

By Ijeoma Ndekwu

My Style is one of our favorite features on the BN Style page, and judging from the responses it gathers, I can safely say, it has our readers interested. This year, we would like to have our fashionable BN readers featured regularly, so I encourage you all to please send in your entries.

If you are interested in appearing on My Style, simply send two pictures of yourself or that of a friend depicting a typical Day and Night Look with a short summary of your style to my email box: ijeoma.ndekwu@bellanaija.com

When your entry is approved, you will be required to send in more pictures and personal commentaries on your style or that of your friend as the case may be! Thanks to everyone who has participated so far, keep the emails coming.

Let’s remember that this feature is about appreciating an individual’s expression through clothing!

I’m really excited about this particular feature, because it is the first time an entry was submitted on behalf of someone else! Seun Laleye sent her sisters pictures to be featured on My Style!

Seun on her sister Debo Laleye: Debola popularly known as DEBO is a free spirited, fun loving and very stylish lady. I have never seen anyone who takes so much pride in looking good. She is some one who can be described as being at the top of her game(fashion) at all times. She is very bold an creative when it comes to creating her own fashion look, she is not at all scared in mixing up little bits here and there. Though soon to be an engineer, her deep love for fashion led to her own business as a professional shopper,-so if you think you wanna look good, but have no clue on how to achieve that, call on her and she will be more than eager to hook you up.

Why I Love Debola’s Style:

I love her style because it speaks of a woman who is bold to show to any one who cares to know that she is in control, like she always says “looking good is good business”

How It Expresses Debola’s Personality:

My sister is a fun loving, hype, classy, attractive and high spirited person, who believes that looking good puts you in the spotlight, so every time she makes a statement, to me she is like a ray of sunshine in the dark cos every time she makes an appearance, she always reveals a unique style which makes her stand out in every single way, there are no two DEBO at all.

Favourite Stores:

Saying that my sister has a favourite store will be a lie, cos she does not restrict her shopping to a particular place, in fact she is what you can call an online shopper guru- she is always surfing the web for any great store where she can find great deals. She also love to go thrifting, to her that’s her own way of finding hidden treasures. LOL

Hair:

Though my sister has dread locks, her hair style is never boring, in fact she is one person who does anything and every thing to it, from curls to up dos and pin ups etc, this is where i take a little credit, because as her personal hair stylist, I am always willing to hook her up.

Make-Up:

When it comes to make up, she loves to express her ‘self’ with different colors, from beautiful lipsticks, to lovely eye shadow etc. She is always eager to mix up a little bit of this to a little bit of that to discover some thing unique and chick!

Wardrobe Staples:

Every thing fashionable makes up her wardrobe, from lovely shoes to beautiful accessories. To her a woman can never have too much, she believes that the more you have, the easier it becomes to work with different outfits. To her, her stables must make a statement and anyone looking must be able to tell!

Now as a Dr , i have to wear my nails short and unpainted, keep my locks tied so they arent in the patients eyes when i am auscultating, now im banished to a life of chuck taylors(I like that part) ! KAI ! Nice one babes ! normally, u would never catch me in any of those cos im too happy with my boyfriend jeans but you make me wanna change my mind ! Well done!
