DRAMA by Mariam

“Drama by Mariam” was established on the 24th of May, 2011 by Mariam Animashaun, a student of Babcock University.
“Drama By Mariam” is a line that allows ladies express their fashion the way they want to......sort of like letting them have their fashion "alter ego".
Basically, it’s a line that gives the feminine sex an opportunity to have style & definition.
One of our keys to successful designing is putting the ladies in mind, taking risk upon risk with different fabrics to make them wearable and lovable, not only to the ladies who wear our clothes but also, the people who get to see them wear it....... “Drama by Mariam” is the line that embraces all the aspects of the female sex; her curves and all.
We make varieties of wears ranging from dresses to jackets, shorts, hair accessories and all.
Our aim is to satisfy & excite our customers and those that patronize our various clothes......"let her define herself"....that's what we believe!!

2012 SUMMER MUST-HAVES TO ADD TO YOUR SHOPPING LIST

Coloured trousers
Just about every shape and style in pants walked down the runway – from high-waisted, wide leg, tapered and cropped. The running theme for fall 2012 trousers is supersaturated hues in greens, reds, blues and yellows.

The poncho sweater
There's nothing hippie about these poncho-sweater hybrids. The flowing shape is comfy, yet chic enough to wear to the office when paired with a slim, sophisticated black pant.

Comfy flats

Flat shoes are essential during this period as people tend to take longer work and perform more tasks on daily basis. They are comfortable, smart and elegant plus they add a great look to your dressing. Just make sure they are cute *wink*

Graphic stripes

It seems the fashion world can't get enough of stripes. This season we saw the familiar horizontal patterns as well as bolder, chunkier graphic ones too.

The bandage skirt and dress

These clinging outfits are totally hot, sexy and trendy. They bring out the curves giving you a lovely elegant look and confidence in your own body. The bandage skirt and dress can be worn anywhere as long as the colours and patterns complement the occasion.

Portfolio bags

Say so long to straps: Larger clutches and portfolio bags are the hottest handbags for fall.

High-heeled loafers
Every girl seems to be finding her stand in sexy,stylish and smart loafered heels . Super-HOT loafers seem to be taking over the shoe vogue with its stylish colours and designs. It’s a girl’s must have this season.

GO POLKA THIS SUMMER

How to wear polka-dot accessories
It's important to make trends your own, so when it comes to wearing polka dots this fall, I suggest starting with items like knickers or a polka-dot silk "boyfriend" blouse to keep the print wearable. Polka-dot knickers are a great way to feel flirty and get in on the trend without wearing them as part of your outfit. Only you know that you're wearing them.

In the same way that animal prints are best kept in small doses, polka dots are a fashion treat that work best as an accessory to your look. Pick one signature piece and work your look around that.

How to wear polka-dot dresses
Women should wear what empowers them, what feels good and makes their day better. So while a cinched-waist polka dot dress will accentuate an hourglass figure, a slim-fitting tube dress worn with opaque tights is ideal for a night out.

While polka dots are a traditional print, it's possible to break out of the retro route by embracing metallic or silver mini polka dots on a bright colour base. That way, you can still wear a classic style like an A-line dress or pencil skirt, but maintain playfulness through the use of commanding shades and unconventional fabrics.

How to wear polka-dot tops and blouses
Something to keep in mind with any pattern is that the larger and more bold it is, the less forgiving it is. When you are long and lean, there is more of you to accommodate the pattern (and) the opposite is true for shorter people.

The polka dots should be proportional to your shape, so if you are have a bigger bust, the print should be slightly larger to balance a bigger chest. Conversely, if you're petite on top, the polka dots should be smaller to keep things proportional.

How to wear polka-dot hair accessories
If you're not comfortable donning head-to-toe polka dots, try accessorizing. Try an accessory such as a polka-dot scarf or headband. They'll add a new dimension to your everyday look. A touch of both polka dots and a bow could be cute. Though, while an oversize bow straddles both the polka dot and retro trends, a printed bow that's too big can come across as “costumey”.

Polka dots are a cheery print that can bring an element of fun to your wardrobe. Just remember to keep things proportional and simple, and to pair polka dots alongside solid, neutral pieces. And don't forget to shop your closet. Chances are you'll find a vintage polka-dot piece that would fit perfectly in your wardrobe this season.

CASHLESS ECONOMY "WHAT,HOW,WHO

2012-03-01T07:32:00.001-08:00

what is this, what does it mean to us, how does it affect us.

In a bid to reduce the increasing use of cash-in transactions, the CBN directed all commercial banks, savings and loans institutions, mortgage and microfinance banks in the country to ensure that, effective June 1, 2012, daily cumulative free cash withdrawals and lodgements by individual and corporate customers do not exceed a maximum ceiling of N150, 000 and N1 million, respectively.

wow... thats a massive one there. so instead of carrying enormous cash around... al you need do to make that purchase would be to make a tranfer from your account to the recievers account.

more likely, it should easily help parents and students pay there school fees with so much ease, especially as they would not need to que at the banks anymore. I easily get discouraged at long ques and thanks to CBN things go better.

what about the corn seller at that orita merin junction , how will it affect him/her, would you need to drop your card number just to buy roastd plantain that cost 20 naira? maybe not....

whats your view...
