How To Keep It Simple But Significant (Your Style)


     Truth be told this quote is self-explanatory. Your style dictates the level of influence you have on people around, and  not just the style or elegance with which you cultivate your looks but also on the manner you go about in your everyday activity.

Your style and your personality is what dictates your class or swag as the world calls it (but i prefer the word class). It is an expression of who you really are especially for those who choose to be stand out, instead of blending in with the crowd.

Some folks refer to the quality in such persons as "over-sabi" well....... i call it opulence !

So when you see such a person he doesn't need to talk too much, his style speaks for him. It is just the urbane way of living.





















Embrace your style bro, always go for what you gives you maximum comfort and sets you miles apart from the rest.
 So you don't have to speak to much, instead save that energy for action. The main goal is to master the art of keeping simple and significant.

PUSH


An urbane way of life requires the urbane looks which is based on the urbane trends in the present. People we meet everyday always address and rate us based on the way we look. It's only logical to showcase your own style and personality whenever the opportunity presents itself.

The Act Of Giving And Taking In Entrepreneurship

Where,s he running off to ?!


  And the games officially kicked off in London yesterday. I actually missed it though, because i felt it was gonna be the say same old display, like the previous opening ceremonies. Well to be frank i don't remember watching the previous opening ceremonies for the past Olympic games or even the world cup.

It's always takes too long .... I'm always like goshhhhh just get on with it already ! Our naija people never fail to represent as usual especially those dudes who wearing shades by 11 pm in the night. They were coming from a Dbanj concert that is the only logical conclusion, we are   still right behind you Team Nigeria.

I love creativity even before i actually understood what it meant, mainly because it portrays one as being original. I held that notion in my head till i bumped into this definition “Creativity is…seeing something that doesn’t exist already. You need to find out how
you can bring it into being, and that way be a playmate with God.” - Michele Shea

It sure does take courage especially when you want to become an Entrepreneur. The absolute belief that people will actually buy into the goods or service you intend to offer takes a while to build on into once mind.

On my blackberry messenger when going through my updates i always notice hilarious display pictures on some of my contact's profile.
Is it Morroco or Osadebe that made this song ?
 
I was compelled to see more for myself so i went to the site myowndp.com, which seems to be the source for the pictures and saw the many Dps that were available for free download. Different pictures for different moods giving people the chance to express themselves on their BBM profiles.

Very creative and funny pictures i must admit and a catchy name for a site which will make the it stick to your head. But on instinct i began trying to analyze how the income flows in for this on-line business.

Don't blame me it's just a reflex, all thanks to my igbo blood. So obviously the heads behind this on-line enterprise where targeting a potential area, which is the creating a business-page service.

The Myowndp.com Team
Basically an organization, a musical artiste, seeking to build up it's brand equity, depending on your target market could use this service. Because the business page will provide a platform dedicated to your brand where your fans/customers can download display pictures expressing their love for your brand.

People love pictures, they simply offered the pictures for free which lead to increase in traffic unto their site thereby promoting the awareness about business page services, that they can offer to BRANDS. Very creative ... talk about the act of giving and taking.

How Bad Do You Want It ? (Urbane Life)

      You know; i have this friend who should have being on the entire series of the Fast and the Furious. He loves speed, power and balance, i know what you are thinking yeah he drives a BMW ! No matter how much i try to beg him while i am on my knees to just slow down he gives me the Vin Diesel look and says ..... Buckle up.

I can't lie i do enjoy the speed (140 km/hrs  to 200) especially when we are rushing somewhere, but i make it clear to him "you've got to pype down bro". I admire the way he goes for what he likes whether it is accepted by people or not, he can't be bothered. He once told me when he pushes a car to the limit and it responds well,

The Color Of A Power Suit

    I laughed out very loud when i came across the picture at first but then i began to imagine, if i should give such a reply to a fellow who confidently wears he's or her tats what will the response be like? I believe it all depends on the mindset of the individual wearing the tattoo, basically it's all about perception of how one See's once self that motivates us to make  choices.

Apparently the person who composed this sarcastic writing sees him or herself as a Ferrari, a sophisticated or urbane person so to say. The tattoos is a minor issue when speaking in general, we could apply this concept in other areas of our lives, before making critical decisions.

         We continue the lookout on the URBANE trends for men. You have to keep up with the times, look the path, and keep it polished as a hobby ! What other way can you appear suave than to be seen in a SUIT.

Yes you have to suit up ! Every man needs at least one suit that exudes power, prestige and classic refinement. The power suit is a vital component of any man’s wardrobe regardless of his profession because it serves as his modern-day suit of armor.


The ideal color of a suit that makes a person stand out has got to be the Grey suit. A  Grey suit is the good way to start a man’s formal wardrobe. With an array of gray hues—from the dark charcoal to the silver light grey suits - gray suits are indispensable classic suits.



Grey suits are like the blacks and navy blues in terms of exerting professionalism. The grey suit gives lesser expense when it comes to selecting the perfect match of shirts and ties. The Grey suit actually has a broader choice of apparel to match with since it fits well with any kind of color and shade that will sure enough give a dramatic effect to the suit.
 With regards to the shade of Grey suit, charcoal is a recommended choice for formal wear. And in choosing grey suits it is best to first check on the fit that would accentuate the body.

But the best shade of grey suit that i, can classify as the power suit, has got to be the metallic grey. 
Grey is the Color.

If you feel grey suit is  not the ideal color for a power please feel free to share your thoughts.
