SWOON-WORTHY TOTES & CLUTCHES 2014 LIMITED EDITION BAG COLLECTION! BY DIDI

Didi  – formerly known as  Didi Creations  - is back with more accessory fabulosity! With their 2014 bag collection, the Nigerian brand created by  Tina Ndidi Ugo  in 2012, is telling us a tale of leather. The designer’s personal love for the fabric, African prints, colors, structured details and timeless & vintage pieces is very evident as the pieces have a combination of these aesthetics bringing each tote and clutch to life. Normally for accessories collections, emphasis is placed on the pieces being showcased, but we love how the models play out in the campaign and make us want the bags even more. The limited edition will be unveiled in Lagos soon, but for now let’s gasp at the collection shall we?

6 HABITS THAT MAY BE HURTING YOUR SKIN

Habit 1:   Skipping cleanser, toner, or both. “There are two steps to proper cleansing: washing and applying the proper toner. I think a lot of people buy toners and cleansers and don’t use them or they skip one or both at night, when they’re too lazy or too tired,” says Moursi. Correct it:   Don’t  skip out. Form a routine and stick to it. According to Moursi, this should involve applying cleanser to a damp face and gently rubbing it in. Instead of using your hands to rinse off, use a clean warm wash cloth and gently pat skin to remove. The reason? Using your fingers to remove cleanser only adds further excess oils and debris to a just-cleansed complexion. “You’re re-doing what you just undid,” says Moursi. Follow up with toner, saturating two cotton pads and swiping over the face, neck, and, décolletage.     Habit 2:   Overdoing it with products. Just like our bellies can reveal our bad eating habits, your face can get fat—literally, as in thickened, overly plump skin—
