Last Christmas, I wrote this piece for a boutique's webpage to raise awareness about their new wares. I called it ECO-FRIENDLY FASHION FOR CHRISTMAS. This is an old article published in 2020, I can't ascertain if it's information remains true today...
Bamboo bags. Have you heard of them? Well, they're awesome. They are made of bamboo and are in so many shapes and sizes, colours and textures that you must find your hearts desire. OK, what about rattan bags? These ones are made of straws. Did I say they were eco-friendly.... and cheap; why wouldn't they be cheap, they are made of bamboo and straws. Wear these bags with a straw sun hat and you would be Miss Eco-Nigeria.
You can practically wear them with anything. While the rattan bags are usually smaller in size -like purses, the bamboo bags are larger. Some bamboo bags are see-through while others are not, some are more flexible than others as well. Though some can be seen as impractical, celebrities stretch our minds by defying practicality for fashion, who says fashion is practical - or comfortable. But comfortable these bags are, light in weight and diverse in application, they are a must have for every sane woman. Men just a little longer and yours might be on the way as Gucci is working on a male variant.
These bags mostly lack in ornaments so it is advised that when wearing them wear other accessories. Two looks to rock this Christmas with a rattan or bamboo bag will be;
The cute cheerleader look. A wrapped around cropped top made out of lovely tropical prints that suit the day's vibes with a deconstructed denim mini-skirt and 'dad' sneakers will fit perfectly with a strap rattan or bamboo bag. Minimal golden accessories will be a great match with such allure to celebrate your stunning tan.
The Parisian look. Protect your hair from damaging sun and look like a fashionista with a straw hat and a plain little dress. Look like a perfect french girl with strappy heels, a plain dress and a silk scarf. Complete the outfit with a statement earring, best if it is made of straws or some natural material as well. Golden or diamond themed accessorising will also do. You could add a denim or leather jacket if it's too chilly outside.
The bags go well with all footwears be it slippers, sandals, block heels or wedge sandals. Striped and polka dotted dresses are also great with these bags. You could also experiment with shorts, trousers and jumpsuits. Try out different tops for different looks. Shame your friends this Christmas, become their fashion icon.

I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG. a poem by Magnus Okonkwo

Oh, the sounds that cause my heart to leap,
The rhythm that makes my feet to dance,
The instruments form a sea my soul falls into deep,
And his tale I wish to experience even by chance.

His stories of love, of life , of pain,
I'm flushed with emotions, drenched with it as though the rain,
But why all this philosophy as along I sing?
- Because I really like this song.
