Media Personality Sharon Rekana Ojong has definitely been making her mark on the red carpet recently. With daring and edgy looks, she is becoming one of the stylistas to watch on the red carpet.

Today, she is dishing some style advice on how to rock the tulle skirt. On a recent trip to the L’Emiral Couture store, Sharon decided to share how she rocked a black tulle skirt with web details in 3 fab ways.

Check it out!

1. The Edgy Professional Look
This looks is for the bold fashion lover who still has to get to work during the day. It incorporates stylish glasses with gold detailing, a black corset, silver accessories, and a  black waist coat cinched at the waist with a studded black tummy belt, and black heels; all paired with the black tulle skirt.

This looks is definitely giving off the goth vibe, and still comes across as professional.

2. The Classic Look
This looks is filled with Audrey Hepburn accents. From the hat to the fitted top, it has a vintage vibe that comes across effortlessly.

Sharon created this look with staple pieces – dark round-rimmed glasses, a black sun hat with gold accents, a fitted long sleeved top, the tulle skirt, an embellished clutch and cute paisley print shoes. We especially love the chain detailing at the back of the top.

Her overall look is girly and still classy for the weekend!

3. The Casual Chic Look
This might be our favourite look.

Sharon created a chic boy-meets-girl outfit that just screams ‘laid-back’. The look has a cool appeal with the mirrored aviators, light denim shirt knotted at the front and white sneakers; and the skirt adds a girly side.

This look is fun, free and definitely makes a statement.

Which look is your favourite look?

Last week we shared how Media Personality Sharon Ojong rocked a tulle skirt in 3 ways; now she takes on the Distressed Denim Trend.

Nothing says a ‘relaxed weekend’ quite like a pair of distressed jeans. And if you aren’t ready to splurge on a fab new pair, you can always Do-It-Yourself (D-I-Y) your old jeans  to give it that vintage spin.

Get your style in gear as you check out 3 ways you can say goodbye to the work week in fab distressed jeans!

1. The Stylish Spin
Just because the work week is over doesn’t mean you can’t still look work-chic.

With her signature bob, Sharon rocks all-white with a blazer, tank top, distressed denim trousers and milticoloured strappy heels.

The weekends can be so sunny, so be sure to rock some dark shades and a dark lipstick to contrast the Summer time.

2. The Boyfriend Vibe
The weekend can also be a time to rock out! 

Sharon pairs a laid back white ‘No Boyfriend, No Problem’ top with white distressed denim trousers, black sneakers and a button-up shirt tied casually tied around her waist.

She adds a pop of colour to her outfit with bright red shades and deep set lips.

3. The Classy Goth
Never shy away from black on the weekends.

Sharon pairs goth makeup with a black sun hat, dark shades, a black waist coat, and distressed denim with fishnet inserts. And of course you can’t go wrong with a stylish bag.

You want more, we’ve got more. Press play for some Behind-the-Scenes action and more stylish tips from Sharon.

Tonye Garrick is busy shooting the video for her hit single ‘Ari Belema’ and from what we hear it’s going to be a pretty awesome video.

With a marriage theme – taking from different cultures in Nigeria – they shot the traditional marriage scene with their costumes by Mai Atafo, styled by Ify Onyido.

The video was shot by Wale Davis and the beauty looks were done by Bimpe Onakoya for Maybelline.

Bolanle Oluakanni, Chigul, Sharon Ojong, Denrele Edun, Ifan Ifeanyi Michaels, Kaylah Oniwo and more were also spotted on set of the video.

Check out the behind the scenes photos below.

Style blogger & media personality Sharon Ojong is all about pushing boundaries when it comes to her style, and that is why she created the “Style Overdose” series – where she shares how she rocks different style trends. See a few episodes here.

Today, she is sharing how she mixed and matched different prints including African prints in New York.

Check it out!

Look 1
For her first look, she’s gone floral pairing a dark hued floral print jacket with a light pair of trousers. Mixing and matching is all about making sense of chaos and blending prints successfully. Her look is cool and comfy showing that when mixing and matching you can still keep warm in the New York weather.

Look 2
Her 2nd look is all about underlying tones. She has toned down her print dress with a black coat and added more vibrancy to her look with an Ankara print bag. She also toned down her look even more with black stockings and shoes.

Look 3
With this look it’s go big or go home!

Sharon has paired a vibrant pair of print shorts with a striped jacket and a head wrap. A key aspect to remember is when you have so many colours, you will want to look for a common colour that ties the prints together. In this case, that color is dark blue.

Watch her show off her outfits
