Hold my beer…..
Team Lyfe republic hooked up with top fashion stylist Prince Boamah Kuleape, and talked about how he got into styling, the workflow, his ambitions, and much more. For the past 5 years, Mr. Boamah has been running the KULAPERRYOUTLOOK (boutique) and for him, working in fashion doesn’t seem like a career choice, but a fate that he just couldn’t resist. With years of professional styling experience, Kula Perry has styled some of our favorite music videos and celebrities. He tells us that his career has been a journey with many lessons learned, attesting to the fact that nothing comes easily.
After enduring Accra’s annoying traffic, the team is finally settling in for a great interview with Kulaperry, the celebrity stylist. He is in high spirits, and we already start throwing questions at him. However, like a typical Ghanaian host, he suspends his answers and offers some good wine.

There are few styles as put-together and feminine as the pencil skirt. They are polished, professional-looking, and still flirty enough to change your top and wear from office to a night out. The pencil skirt is one of the most timeless silhouettes in fashion — and with a good reason. Pencil skirt outfits are a flattering look — when worn right of course— on just about every figure.
Well, if you intend to wear pencil skirts for formal or semi-formal office setup, or even at cocktail parties showing off your sex appeal, here are some good tips on what to wear with a pencil skirt – the sexy and sleek way
Pair with a crop top
Anything short and straight is considered a crop top. Crop tops Make the pencil skirt look more funky, sexy and chic.
