Oh wow, superstar Amitabh Bachan ( my all time favorite bollywood superstar) fondly known as Big B has been discharged from the hospital after a week’s stay.

According to LBN, “Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who was admitted to Lilavati Hospital last Saturday following complaints of abdominal pain, was discharged on Friday. He had been in the hospital for a week.

Bachchan was admitted on his birthday, October 11. The Big B was complaining of severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with incisional hernia.

He went back home in his own car. Son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai were with him”

Here is praying for him as he recovers! Just in case you have been living under some rock and do not know who he is, here are some clips from his movies. Plus my favorite song “kabhie Kabhie”

Oh my word! I am loving these bags by naanb! Proceeds from the sale help in rural empowerment. That is so amazing. They are tres chic too.

According to Naanab, “A self-confessed dream chaser and globetrotter, the designer began her artistic journey creating steel sculpture and paintings at Columbia University, later inspiring a long lasting love affair with clothing and accessories. After crafting and learning the elements of design, the line Naana B was conceived! A woman designing for women, Naana B takes the uniqueness and artistry of handbags seriously. The line reflects the free nature of the designer’s life and adventures. Handmade and produced by women artisans in Ghana (http://www.cblit.org), proceeds from all sales go to the Rural Communities Empowerment Centre in Ghana.”

FASHION AND STYLE AT IO FURNITURE OPENING + OVERSIZED BAGS CRAZE IN NAIJA! May 9, 2008

Well thanks to our dear photographers at purefoto, oversized bags are in vogue big time in Naija!

Wow Nice to see Ego Boyo out and about! Nike Ogunlesi (on the left) looks stylish as always!

With all these events Naija is certainly the place to be seen and heard!

The over sized bags became a hot item in 2007

“Oversized handbags usually provide easy access, long handles for over the shoulder carrying, cell phone pockets, zip pockets, fold over flip pockets and hold a lot of necessary items needed for any occasion.

Not only do designer handbags make you feel good about yourself, they present you as a person of the present era or, of modern tastes.

Some women like the oversized handbag because it functions as two bags in one. Not only does it serve as a purse it can double as a camera case, diaper bag, etc.

You can take your camera with you everywhere you go without looking like you are taking you camera everywhere.

An oversized designer handbag which also functions as a diaper bag does not scream “Look at me! I’m somebody’s tired, frazzled mommy!”. Plus, after you have gone through the frumpiness of pregnancy, then the emotional ups and downs of post-pregnancy, the no time to fix your eyebrows or your nails, just being able to dress up in your favorite designer wear and carry your favorite designer handbag makes you feel a bit more “polished”. It’s an instant pick me up.

Shoes and a great bag will make or break an outfit. And if you need to carry a lot of things, no matter what they are, you can still look fashionable by carrying an oversized designer handbag.

Another nice thing with regards to oversized handbags is that there is no stigma attached to their size. Unlike when you are trying on designer jeans and you think “if I hadn’t eaten that last dessert, these jeans might fit me”. There is no shame in carrying an oversized handbag.

All women will concur that an oversized handbag is a must for adventuring. You can carry sandwiches, snacks, make up bag, cell phone, laptop, keys, hairbrush, hairspray, baby items, pet items, maps, first aid kit, etc.

Designer Handbags are a wearable work of art. The craftsmanship on a really well made bag will captivate you. You may find yourself sitting in the closet looking at the stitching, feeling the silky leather and breathing in that new leather smell. It may be hard for you to bring yourself to actually using it.

Some designers of oversized handbags are Tommy Hilfiger, Necessary Objects, Stone Mountain, Kathy Van Zeeland and Derek Alexander.

Kathy Van Zeeland handbags provide exclusive materials of the highest quality and focus on the most fashionable trends each season. Kathy Van Zeeland wants you to look and feel great wearing her handbags, and she is confident that you will receive many compliments on your sense of style.” jackiebeam
