Hats Down for 14 Best Outfits of 2014

Lets talk fashon all the way. When the fashion was good this year, it was really, really good.
There were beautiful lace dresses, edgy crop tops and feathered skirts that literally took our breath away. A few stars (ahem Solange KnowlesLupita Nyong'o and Amal Alamuddin) consistently hit it out of the park, while other celebs surprised us with their fashion prowess.
To help summarize all the best style moments from the past 12 months, we've rounded up the 14 most amazing outfits of 2014. Enjoy the sartorial goodness and let's hope these A-listers continue to kill it in 2015!
  • 1
    Olivia Wilde in Gucci at the Golden Globes

    Wilde shone (literally!) on the red carpet in this shimmering emerald dress. It seems as though her baby bump only made her more stylish, as this long, form-fitting gown was one of her best ensembles ever.

    Margot Robbie in Gucci at the Golden Globes

    If you didn't know Margot Robbie's name, you did after you saw her in this stunning gown. The "Wolf of Wall Street" star looked drop-dead gorgeous in this tight-fitting white dress with a high-slit. Not only did it fit her like a glove, but she managed to show the perfect amount of skin.

    Kiernan Shipka in Tory Burch at the Tory Burch Flagship Opening

    The 15-year-old actress looked adorable in this embroidered top with matching pants. And we love how the "Mad Men" star completed the outfit with a pair of nude wedges and casual hair. If only all celebs were as well-dressed as this teen.

    Everything about this outfit is perfect. The lace crop top is balanced out by the high-waisted, maxi skirt and her single pearl earring makes the entire thing a little edgy.
  • 5
    Charlize Theron in Christian Dior Couture at the Academy Awards

    A long black gown is a classic, but it can make you blend into the crowd -- but not this dress. The interesting neckline, dramatic skirt and beautiful sheer panels ensure that Charlize is the belle of the ball.
  • 6
    Lupita Nyong'o in Prada at the Academy Awards

    This was Lupita's princess moment. The Oscar-winning actress looked like she was floating along in this elegant, feminine gown. And can we talk about the headband for a minute? That could have been a style disaster, but instead it took the look from beautiful to stunning.
  • 7
    Miroslava Duma at the Louis Vuitton show

    The Russian fashion plate always turns heads, but this particular outfit is especially great. The color and asymmetrical hem on the trench makes it something special, while her gold belt helps to define her waist and gives her a nice shape.
  • 8
    Blake Lively in Gucci at the Met Gala
    Getty Images
    Jaws literally dropped when Blake Lively stepped onto the red carpet in this gown. As Ryan Reynolds joked to André Leon Talley during the red carpet arrivals, it looked like the dress had been "painted onto" his wife. Between the cape and the plunging neckline, we find it hard to believe that the actress will ever top this ensemble.
  • 9
    Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Emilio Pucci at the amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS Gala

    There are a few things that are amazing about this dress. First of all, the color. Yellow is exceptionally difficult to pull off because if you pick the wrong shade, it can look awful against your skin tone. But this canary yellow gown is magnificent on the model, as is the expert draping and the subtle cut-outs.
  • 10
    Solange Knowles in Calvin Klein at the CFDA Awards
    Getty Images
    Is that Diana Ross? No, it's just Solange looking gorgeous, per usual. She doesn't tend to wear slinky gowns, but this looks so good, we think it should be in her regular rotation.
  • 11
    Camila Alves in Zuhair Murad at the Emmys
    WireImage
    Alves knows how to strike the perfect balance between sexy and sophisticated. This gown hugs her every curve but also makes a strong statement. Does she ever get it wrong?
  • 12
    Amal Alamuddin in Stella McCartney during their civil wedding
    AFP/Getty Images
    This. Is. Perfection. Every single thing about this outfit, from the wide-leg trousers, to the wide-brimmed hat, is making Mrs. George Clooney the style icon to watch. Not only does she look statuesque, but the entire ensemble is so fresh and clean. A+, Amal.
  • 13
    Jenna Lyons in a Prada fur jacket, J. Crew Collection skirt and Celine shirt at Solange Knowles' wedding
    WireImage
    Only Jenna Lyons could combine fur, feathers and a classic white-button up shirt and make it look this damn good. Though this is definitely an elevated look for the J.Crew Creative Director, she kept her signature red lipstick and thick-rimmed specs so it still felt true to her style. Take notes people, this is how you stop traffic.
  • 14
    Olga Kurylenko in Alessandra Rich at the 'The Water Diviner' premiere
    Getty Images
    This dress is kitschy in all the best ways. The faux-pocket details and the white belt are fun additions to this otherwise sleek, pale pink lace dress. Had these elements been on a less sophisticated gown, they would have looked tacky rather than fashion-forward.

REVIEW OF ENUGU 2014 ROAD BLOCK

This particular Road block tagged "Road block 5" was fun, entertaining and mind blowing but.....



                                                      Official cover Image of the Show

Despite the fun it promised and that which it actually offered, i personally believed that "free things dey run bele". The show was thrown open at about some minutes past 7 pm with some performances by up and coming artistes in enugu and other states. This was followed by the arrival of Lagos based artistes. Artistes that were present at the event was Flavour, Phyno, Zoro, Yemi Alade, Selebobo, Terry-G, Timaya, Mr Raw, Duncan Mighty and the list goes on and on. The host, Gov. Sullivan Chime arrived the location at about 10:17 with massive convoy. He was dressed to my amazement in a simple white short sleeves  shirt with black dots. Also in attendance was other state officials like the head of service, Enugu state, Mr Chidi Ezema and so many others. the VIP spot contained about 100-150 people. The security operation was impressive, there were men of special task force of the Nigerian police, the Nigerian police force, SARS, and the Nigerian army. about 10 large police dogs were there.



The was blessed with massive turn out which i perceived  as a curse! The population could be estimated to be over 4000 youths, and about 200 adults, state officials inclusive. The Population was damn too high that the venue hardly contained the crowd. This caused severe injuries following a stampede, it also cause suffocation especially to the female folks who from eyewitnesses had a few reported to have fainted.


If you missed the show, dont let my report give you a bad impression of it. now let me give you a highlight of what happened on stage. Firstly the stage was well lighted, there were about 5 cameras tracking the show, There were also about 30 loud speakers to produce quality sound. That night, the stage rocked, comedians boomed the show, Phyno had the highest crowd control as the crowd went bezerk when he mounted the stage. he came out stylishly with a brown hoody, black trousers and a pair of white supra. The second artist that stole the show after Phyno was Davido. he had more hit songs, including of course the skelewu dance which he didnt show us how to dance it well. Zoro too rocked the stage. Amongst the big artistes, the one that least impressed was Duncan Mighty and Flavour. Duncan mighty entered this list because he hardly had any new thing to offer. He complimented this by doing a competition which he called "the ikebe of enugu". That is the girl with the largest behind in Enugu. A girl won $2000 in the competition. Flavour performed last, hundreds of people and  scores of state vehicles started squeezing through the entrance gate when his performance started. He came upstage at about past 5 am.

5 Reasons why you shouldn't wear G-String

It’s sexy and appealing. But have you ever thought of reasons not to wear a thong? We will dish out some important reasons for not wearing this kind of underwear, but lets first of all describe and define it. 

A G-string A.K.A. gee-string or gee string is a type of thong, a narrow piece of cloth, leather, or plastic, that covers or holds the genitals, passes between the buttocks, and is attached to a band around the hips. A G-string is most commonly worn by women as underwear, but may also be worn by men. It may also be worn in swimwear, where it may serve as a bikini bottom, but may be worn alone as a monokini or topless swimsuit. G-strings may also be worn by exotic or go-go dancers. As underwear, a G-string may be worn in preference to panties to avoid creation of a visible panty line.

THE REASONS FOR NOT WEARING IT ARE:
1. Genital inflammation
Gynecologists ask women to wear more comfortable panties to avoid critical health issues. Sometimes, a girl doesn’t even suspect what has caused the problem in her private area. These panties injure the sensitive skin around your genitals.
2. Intestinal infection
Serious problems await those who wear a g-string regularly. This type of underwear irritates and inflames the area which produces lubricant during intercourse. A thong can also lead to small tearing or deep cuts which can cause certain infections.
3. Yeast infection G-string can increase the chances of getting a yeast infection from extra moisture resulting from the tight fit.
4. Skin problems
Chafed, irritated and infected skin –  are you really ready to give up your comfort in favour of your underwear?
5. Other side effects
Wearing a thong might end up in thrush and cystitis. Thrush is a fungus infection: the skin gets red and swollen, with white patches. Cystitis is a form of bladder inflammation.
Also, never wear a thong if you plan to work out: your body gets hot and sweaty during physical activity. This, combined with wearing a thong,  becomes an ideal breeding groud for a lot of bacteria. Opt for cotton panties when working out.

See All the Artistes at the 2014 British Fashion Awards: Rihanna, Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner & More!

Britain's biggest night in fashion is finally here! And as expected, some of the most important names in style took to the red carpet in seriously chic attire.

Really, all eyes are on the 2014 British Fashion Awards red carpet: Held at the London Coliseum, the ceremony honors the most forward-thinking designers, models and plain ol' good dressers who have made an impact across the pond.

First we have to give it to Rihanna, who consistently bests herself in barely there style. The songstress sported an oversize tuxedo jacket, towering ankle-strap sandals, a diamond choker and (very) little else.

We also can't take our eyes of models Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner: Both of these statuesque ladies stood out on the red carpet in statement ensembles. Cara D—tonight's winner of the Best Model trophy—wore a shimmering, slit-to-there Burberry gown with sexy black side panels, while Kendall let her svelte figure do the talking in a black-and-white jumpsuit.

A look back at the 2014 British Fashion Awards nominees

Also in winter white, Emma Watson was one of the night's main winners both on and off the red carpet. The star took home the British Style Award, and we can see why: Watson stunned in a floor-sweeping Misha Nonoo jumpsuit, which she paired with an oversize navy Dior blazer and bold red lips.

Victoria Beckham took to the red carpet with hubby David Beckham—who seemed unfazed by his recent fender-bender in England last week. (Read: By unfazed, we mean more handsome than ever.) The designer, who walked away with the Brand of the Year Award, wore a chunky knit sweater over a monochrome maxiskirt from her own label to the event.

Meanwhile, Vogue editrix Anna Wintour took to the red carpet in a black-and-white number (check the white fur capelet) with her daughter Bee Shaffer. She was presented the Outstanding Achievement Award for her influence on the world of high fashion by John Galliano—the designer behind her dress for the evening.

Other stars in attendance included Karlie Kloss, Anna Kendrick, One Direction's Harry Styles, Rita Ora, Alexa Chung, Lily Allen, Naomie Harris and Suki Waterhouse.

Who do you think was the best dressed Brit this year?

Kim isn't the only Nude Kardashian, see pregnant Kourtney


Just a couple of weeks after Kim took it all off, big sister Kourtney is proving Mrs. West isn’t the only Kardashian who’ll dare to go bare.

Mom-to-be Kourtney stripped down for DuJour magazine, and she looks pretty much flawless as she proudly shows off her pregnant belly in new photos.

The reality TV mom, who’s expecting her third child with longtime boyfriend Scott Disick, poses with nothing on but a soaking wet white dress.
kk

Bur this isn’t the first time Kourt has posed nude while pregnant — just the first time she’s letting the whole world see the photos. She revealed to the mag that she took pics for herself while she was pregnant with her first child, Mason, and that she feels her most confident when she’s expecting.

“To me, nudity is not something to be ashamed of. I’m not embarrassed of my body. I’m at my best when I’m pregnant,” she said. “It’s such an amazing feeling, the transformation that your body goes through. There’s something about that that’s so empowering and beautiful and I just really embrace it.”
kkk

And Kourtney doesn’t really care what people think about these photos because she took them only to please herself.
kkkkk

“This was something that initially I did for myself just to capture the moment in my life, but these photos are beautiful and I’m happy to share them,” she said. “And I like how raw they are. It’s my body: I’m not trying to impress anybody or be something that I’m not. But in general, I don’t really care that much about what people think.

Why you need to give your man more praise; Why Men want more praise than Women

Think: when it comes to completely winning a man's heart, flattery will get you everywhere. Do not be decieved by their macho posturing_they need their egos stroked on regular basis. So, show some pity on your poor boyfriend and larvishly shower him a few kind words, say he smells incredible when he greets you before a night out.

If you want to kick up a notch, zero in on his weakness. For instance, if he likes to toil around, the kitchen, tell him he cooks a mean chicken as if he has ever considered enrolling in a cooking competition.

What's in it for you? Thanks to the remarkable power of reciprocity, he'll want to return the favour. You are only warned thus: don't fill his head with gratuitous praise. He'll be able to sniff out your insincerity. Or worse, he could start believing the hype.

SEE: 7 Things You Dont Know About Fast And Furious

"The Fast and the Furious" came out all the way back in the summer of 2001. Since then, the "Fast & Furious" franchise has transitioned from being purely about street racing to grand heists that involve The Rock. "Furious 7," the possible final ride in the series, is due out next April. Its trailer promises mayhem of the highest order.
But it's difficult to know how to juggle celebration of the film's opening while mourning the death of series star Paul Walker, who makes his final appearance in "Furious 7." "We grew up in the business together, and we became famous together, and we represented the biggest franchise together," Vin Diesel, who plays Dominic Toretto, said earlier this year on "Live With Kelly and Michael." "[Paul's death is] one of the darker moments in this, in my journey." He then addressed the audience: "Yeah. Yeah guys, you know it's a rough one. You all had people you love that passed away."
But instead of focusing on the bad, let's heed the words of Toretto. "I live my life a quarter mile at a time," he says in the first film. "Nothing else matters ... For those 10 seconds or less, I'm free." With the promotional cycle starting up for the latest installment, "Furious 7," it seemed like the right time to take a look back and share some little known trivia from the series.

1. THE RUNWAY IN FAST AND FURIOUS 6 WAS EXTREMELY LONG

Most runways are just over a mile, but the one in the film was abnormally long.
The climactic scene of "Fast & Furious 6" involves the crew chasing after an airplane trying to take off. The scene lasts over 13 minutes. The plane is always going at least 115 mph, given what The Rock said during an interview while promoting the movie.
Vulture talked to Captain Robert Travis, President of the Independent Pilots Association and did some independent math, while breaking down the scene in parts to conclude that the runway was 28.829 miles. For a different conclusion, the BBCtalked to pilot Ian Hollingworth and using his speed estimate concluded that the runway was 18.37 miles long.

2. Both Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster were cast despite not having driver's licenses.



Jordana Brewster said she had to learn to drive in New York City, where she was living at the time -- a challenging place to start. She actually had to pass her driver's license test in one take or she would have been dropped from the movie due to insurance requirements.
Michelle Rodriguez told Entertainment Tonight that learning how to drive for the series led to quite a few speeding problems:
I got such a bad record with speeding 'cause I got my license for "Fast and Furious." After 11 points on your license, you're like, "Yo, where's that Prius at? I'm dropping this M3 somewhere.

3. "Fast & Furious" and "Herbie: Fully Loaded" take place in the same universe.

Referring to the picture above of a 1970 Dodge Charger driven by Dominic Toretto in the first movie, an advertisement for "Fast & Furious 6" asked the question, "'Fast & Furious' and 'Herbie: Fully Loaded' confirmed to take place in the same universe?" and answered, "We’re gonna say yes."
Herbie is an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle that has a mind of its own and is extremely fast. Certainly the ramifications of this sentient car being in the "Fast & Furious" universe are huge. In "Herbie: Fully Loaded," there is even a street racer scene in which Herbie has LED blue lights and a lowered suspension. For supposedly being some of the best street racers in the world, it's pretty suspicious the "Fast & Furious" crew have somehow never talked about the the "Love Bug." Maybe they all got beat by Herbie once and are too embarrassed to bring that up.

4. Michelle Rodriguez really didn't like the cast at first and thought Paul Walker was a "Ken Barbie doll."


In the aforementioned MTV News interview, Michelle Rodriguez revealed that she was far from a fan of her co-stars when she first met them. As she explained, "I was like, 'Who’s the Kenny Barbie doll,' when I looked at Paul ... I thought Jordana was prissy ninny. I thought Vin was a dick ... And I was wrong about each and every one of them." The interview notes that they truly seemed like a sort of family. It's a sentiment that Rodriguez reiterated after Walker's death.
More recently, when asked by Empire about her co-star The Rock, she seemed to be more fond of his right from the start:
He's such a cool cat. I'm always staring at him like he's not real. I look at him, I see an eyebrow raised, him in his underpants! Those muscles, they feel like rocks for real. I'm in awe of that guy. I can't even approach him like a real person. He's an entity. Most of my scenes are not with him, unfortunately.

5. Vin Diesel gave the Red Chevelle he drives in the movies to his infant daughter.


Vin Diesel's character, Dominic Toretto, drives off in a red 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS454 coupe at the end of "The Fast and the Furious." When the character returns in the 2009 movie, "Fast & Furious," the car is seen again.
Although multiple versions of the car exist, Diesel told MTV News that he gave at least one of the Red Chevelles to his infant daughter because she was born while filming "Fast & Furious."
Diesel was apparently hesitant in going to the hospital and cutting the umbilical cord, but Paul Walker convinced him that he had to do it.

6. There's a movie from 1954 called "The Fast and the Furious" that involves fast cars and racing.

This is a movie that involves hotrods and car racing. Jaguar had product placement in the movie. That said, despite the similarity of a focus on cars, the 1954 version is very different and focuses on the actor and director John Ireland's character trying to escape to Mexico after breaking out of jail.
For the 2001 version, Universal acquired the title rights to "The Fast and the Furious," but not the story rights. The new movie was actually inspired by a 1998 article about New York City street racing in Vibe. According to the The New Yorker, the original producer, Roger Corman, his title to be used as a trade for ancient Roman studio footage from "Spartacus."

7. A woman sued when she thought "Drive" wasn't as good as the "Fast & Furious" series.

Sarah Deming filed a lawsuit against FilmDistrict, when their movie, "Drive," wasn't "similar to The Fast and [the] Furious." She claimed that "Drive" had been marketed to be like "Fast & Furious" and that "Drive" was such a disappointment compared to "Fast & Furious" that it deserved to be sued. Apparently Ryan Gosling is just no Vin Diesel. In the lawsuit she only sought ticket reimbursement, which the movie theater had already given her.
Although her case may not have been as solid as The Rock, her point that movies should be more like "Fast & Furious" is respectable.

 Will there be more movies?



Regarding another installment to the franchise, in one of his final interviews, Paul Walker said: "There's going to be an eight. It's like who's going to be in the "eight" I think is the question." The answer is now tragic in light of his death just days later on Nov. 30, 2013. Earlier in that year, Vin Diesel had said, "I think the debate is whether it's seven, eight, nine or seven, eight, nine, 10. I know, it doesn't even make sense."
More recently, there has been rumors that Cody Walker -- Paul Walker's younger brother -- will be joining the cast for future installments. Kurt Russell, who stars in "Furious 7," has also been talked about as being a part of an eighth installment. CHECK IT OUT IN THEATERS!
