Gone are the days when wearing an African print, people would say you are too old

Urban Reloaded with Swagga T and Brie
Welcome to the month of March. We should all march forward, focusing on everything we do.  Yippee spring season of colours is approaching. Let it rock like Lupita in different colours on the red carpet. Well it is a fact that actress of the moment Lupita Nyong’o once said, “No matter where you are from, your dreams are valid”.
Meaning that we should not be deterred by anything. By the way she is from Kenya and now has 32 awards since her movie was premièred early this year.

Most teenage girls now see her as their role model from fashion to talent. Speaking of which, talent needs a drive, just like a Ferrari needs wheels. So be it.

Fashion is dynamic and very sorry that each week we can’t write all but work with the dopiest and trendiest of the week. Not forgetting the buzz beat entertainment.

Here is our Nay or Yeah of the week.

The dark short hair
This is a star struck hairstyle that long back we used to laugh at. Thanks to Lupita who has brought the natural look back in the basket. You can even rock that hairdo at school and I see a lot of my homies with a colour-band on the head. Yah some will want it curly, well up to you but natural is lekker.

That short flared skirt
The flared skirt is back but not that short hey. We know girls were much into trousers, jeans and tights but alas the SKIRT is your new BFF. The skirt which has some side pockets can be worn with anything too.

Don’t you wish you were back to the Cinderella time – girly look? Check on how Emma Watson rocked during the teen choice awards. They also come in floral. Make a hit now in the skirt.

The African print
When Tehn Diamond performed last year at the BBA season 8 show, many were happy but he stole the show with his African print Harlem pant. Yes, the African print is the next in thing. Gone are the days when wearing an African print, people would say you are too old.

Time has changed as you can rock the print on anything – skirts, bow ties, shirts, jumpers, skinnies, trainees, jacket to Alice bands.

The Burger Gwash
I repeat, it’s a no no no having a burger while walking in town. Yes CLS Reloaded once wrote about that but some teens inboxed us saying please come to the rescue of many. We might be hungry but hey having your mouth wide open in town trying to munch that burger is just not on.

The Beat in the Phone
Many thanks go to Huawei for the latest P6 mobile phone. Sorry Samsung, Huawei got the beat. The new phone comes with a side speaker which can be connected through Bluetooth and you can play music and even answer calls. Guys it is the sound bytes that comes out. Make a party anytime.

What is on the telly?
Disney channel has brought back the cartoons that most of us used to watch while growing up. The likes of “Pocahontas”, “Voltron”, “Power Rangers”, “Tarzan” and the “Ape and Little Mermaid” among others are back. Tip – they are educational – at least tell your shrags that when they complain about the time you spend watching the telly. You can relax at home after reading CLS and tune in to your favourite channel.
