FASHION QUOTE OF THE DAY.

"Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak."

MOVIE FRIDAY !POWER SSN 3 LEAVES A ROOM FOR SSN 4.

The season 4 of the television series is expected to be released next after the ssn 3 finale cliffhangers was released .
 Well it's a great news the series will be continuing considering the fact that season 3 finale cliffhangers  really left us with mouths wide open wondering what next and what direction the series will take.

The season 3 ,dubbed 'Ghost must die'ends with ghost mistakenly being arrested for the murder of agent Greg who also happened to have a past with Ghost's girlfriend Angie.Agent Greg is killed by his colleague who happened to be a dirty agent whose walls started to crumble after his mission to free 'Lobos (drug dealer ) goes awry after Lobos ends up getting killed by ghost and Tommy who pretended to be helping in his escape.

In the season finale still , Ruiz(drug dealer ) is killed by Tommy after Jamie's (ghost) wife Tasha tips Tommy that ghost was planning to set up the dangerous Milan drug dealer in order to pursue his dreams of being a clean and legit club owner.
Things seems complicated for Ghost as encounters a series of problems not being in good terms with Angle (his girlfriend ) after he broke up with her ,staring death in the face after Tommy's girlfriend orders a hit,,kanan kidnaps his son tariq, Angie arrests him at his club the same night he signed a big contract and achieved his dream of going out of the drug business after he and Tommy managed to kill the leader of Milan cartel.
So what's next for Dre,Tommy, Angie and Tasha now that Ghost is arrested ?

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

It's  not a matter of how many times you've been hit or how hard you've been hit , what counts is how many times you've managed to stand up and move forward and how much you can take on your way to success.Pain is normal and it's only temporary ,when you allow yourself to go through it ,it will and must soon be replaced with success ,but if you quit , the pain of not giving yourself what you deserve will last forever ,that's the worst pain.
You have a dream ?you must be willing and ready to protect it by any means necessary , you must be ready to take the heat for what you believe in. Are you willing to take chances no matter how many times you fail?or are willing to quit and settle for what you were yesterday? Both the looser and the winner at one point failed but what made the winner different from the looser is that the winner tried several times even after falling ,he never gave up  until he succeeded , the looser decided to quit and went  back to his comfort zone of excuses.
If you feel you deserve better then you have to start acting on that belief before it's too late.At one point in life everyone has to die , that's the dynamics of life , but what legacy do you want to leave behind ? what do you want to be remembered for ?
If you've been living your life to please others you better free yourself today ,they don't know you or the potential in you ,you know yourself better more than anyone and don't let yourself settle for anything less .Let that be your starting point and make your life the way you want it to be  .
You only live once but if you live it right once is just enough!

THE MUST- HAVE SUITS AND SUIT JACKETS.

When it comes to suits its always becomes a problem when you don't go for the right one that works for you .Its always advisable to go for a slim-fit suit that is made according to your body shape and size,besides why would you decide to wear a baggy suit in this age and era?Remember the color you go for matters too.
In this segment ill tell the types of suits you should make sure you have in your wardrobe.

1.Tuxedo

What differentiates a tuxedo from other types of suits is the collar design which is easily noticeable.
A tuxedo suit is always suitable for those cocktail events ,red carpet weddings and other events,it brings out the dapper look when worn property with the right shirt combination.They come in different styles ,colors and can be single button or double button ,whichever works for you,just make sure you go for a slim-fit always ,to pull it off perfectly ,always go for  the right colors that you feel look good on you.choose a nice shirt and bow tie that will compliment the look.






2.Double or single breasted

Double breasted suits can have 4,6 or 8 buttons in total and they also come in various colors .It's always ideal to go for grey or black colors as they go with  most shirts colors . The double breasted suits also very formal.




Single breasted

This can be one ,two or 3 buttoned ,they are formal and good for office wear.Go for a slim-fit that goes with body size and its advisable you have several colors
You can bring out the dapper office look by pairing it up with a nice fitting  half coat with a matching slim tie.




3. Silhouette suit jackets.

This can either be fitted , structured or sack.
Fitted silhouette is a tailored fit and it goes with the body shape and size of the wearer .
Structured jacket suit is the most formal silhouette as it is well trimmed and brings out a more formal look than the others in this category
Sacked on the other hand basically hangs on the body and is somehow shapeless ,it therefore doesn't show the shape of the wearer.


4.Blazers.

These can come in different shapes ,sizes and designs .They can be paired with almost every kind of well fitting shirts and   pants from khakis ,jeans ,linens etc.
Still insist on the right colors and a well fitting one .Its also good to have a variety of these.
The jackets are so good when it comes to semi formal looks.

BE READY TO DIG DEEPER FOR THE CHRIS BROWN & WIZKID SHOW.

Well it's already confirmed that the two friends and stars who have also been touring together and working on the 'shabba'  and african girl records will be coming to perform in Kenya for the first time together  ,Mombasa on the 8th of October next month.Mombasa governor Hon.Hassan Joho is said to be behind the planning of this great performance.

Chris brown is well known for his charts topping hit songs like 'loyal ','back to sleep ' and the list is endless  Even  though he has had a rough year ,he still managed to stay on top of the music food chain ,still topping charts and selling out shows .

Wizkid has had a successful run of his career this after a star studded cosign of his ojuelegba hit song which was even remixed by Drake and Skepta, he also managed to bag an international collaboration with drake on the billboard topping 'one dance ',besides other successful international pieces with the likes of French Montana and Justin Skye.Wizkid is also yet to sign for a seven figure  advance with an international  record label not forget that he also owns starboy worldwide which already has lax,dj jimmy jat,Efya,R2bees and Mr Eazi on it's roster.

But to see to two stars perform will cost you more than you imagine ,you'll have to dig deep for instance for regular tickets you'll pay Kshs 10,000,Kshs 20,000 for VIP ,Kshs 50,000 for VVIP.That's undeniably expensive but hey,these are international -status stars with very successful music careers churning out hit records and performing on sold out shows worldwide  , you  probably  won't want to miss out on  their performance .
