One such trailblazer is Folake Ike, a dedicated women’s health advocate who believes in the power of conversation. In this interview, Folake, also known as The Fancy Therapist, discusses how therapy can be a powerful tool for women navigating identity shifts, motherhood, grief, and healing. What inspired you to focus your practice on women’s health, and how has your personal journey shaped your approach to therapy? The inspiration for opening Peace of You Therapy Services came from my own postpartum journey. While I felt prepared for labour and delivery, I wasn’t ready for the changes in relationships and how they would impact my mental well-being. I was burdened by the need to hold on to my old identity before becoming a mother and a wife. I felt stuck and unsure of who I was anymore. Amid grief and loss, I launched my private practice to help other women explore self-identity, manage stress, anxiety, or depression, and find their way through the trenches of motherhood. That dark period became a catalyst for providing light […] The post Meet Folake Ike, the Therapist Supporting Women Through Life’s Transitions appeared first on BN Style.

Last year, we brought together a floral masterpiece for our High Tea with BNS guests, and you all loved it so much, we kept the magic alive for 2025. But of course, with an elevated twist. Held at the Mercedes-Benz Center, this year’s edition was a visual fairytale brought to life by Koachellah Parties. From the moment guests walked in, they were welcomed into a floral fantasy with soft lilac, blush pink, and butter yellow hues setting the tone. The venue was transformed into a whimsical garden with cascading florals, pastel-toned tablescapes, and carefully styled details that made every corner Instagram-worthy. Rows of white chairs and delicate centrepieces lined tables draped in dusty rose linen, while a lush floral aisle led to a dreamy lavender-hued stage. Every petal, every light string, and every thoughtfully curated menu card played its part in making the experience nothing short of magical. The goal? Celebrate elegance, connection, and the power of style in the most enchanting way possible. If you thought last year was a dream, 2025 proved that we’re only getting started. Stay tuned for all the fashion, faces, and unforgettable moments from this year’s High Tea with BNS. The post A Whimsical Pastel Dream: Inside High Tea with BNS 2025 appeared first on BN Style.

Fashion is more than a fleeting trend—it is a vessel for storytelling, a reflection of identity, and a bold testament to cultural evolution. Today, I invite you to step into a world where every silhouette, texture, and hue becomes a language of self-expression, weaving together history, innovation, and the art of reinvention. African heritage is a canvas of timeless traditions, vivid colors, and masterful craftsmanship. This editorial reimagines these elements in a contemporary light, where bold, sculptural designs transcend mere clothing and become wearable expressions of legacy. Each detail is a tribute to the artisans who, for generations, have transformed fabric into symbols of life, resilience, and artistry.

This collection is an ode to evolution—an invitation to embrace change while staying rooted in who we are. It defies traditional fashion boundaries by merging contemporary aesthetics with ancestral influences. For the modern African woman, it is a statement: […] The post Echoes of Heritage: Fashion as a Living Story. appeared first on BN Style.

Many women in Nigeria, and everywhere else, are constantly trying to balance a million things.  You’re trying to build your career, take care of your family, and sometimes, it feels like you’re just trying to survive the day. It’s not just about doing a million chores; it’s about dealing with what everyone expects from you, and what you want for yourself. That’s why eating right is so important. It’s not just about looking good or having energy; it’s about staying strong mentally, feeling good, and having the strength to handle everything life throws at you. We need to understand what women are going through to support their health, inside and out. Women face unique nutritional demands throughout life. Hormonal fluctuations, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and the constant pressures of modern life can lead to nutritional imbalances that affect energy, mood, and overall well-being. Recognizing these challenges is the first step to making meaningful changes.

Hey #BellaStylistas! This past Saturday, March 15th, we hosted the second panel discussion for our BNS Women’s Month 2025 series — and it was an unforgettable, thought-provoking experience. As part of our mission to spotlight important conversations affecting women’s lives, this session dove deep into the realities of mental health, tackling stigmas and shedding light on how women can access better support systems. We brought together a powerful lineup of women leading the charge in mental health advocacy, therapy, to discuss “From Stigma to Strength: Mental Health Unfiltered,” . Here’s a closer look at the phenomenal women who led the conversation: Waje (Aituaje Iruobe) — (Award-winning Nigerian artist, entrepreneur, and UN Global Champion)Waje’s unmistakable powerhouse vocals have made her a music icon, blending soul, R&B, and Afrobeat. Beyond music, Waje co-founded Fengshui Expert, a real estate company, and launched AFFIRMATIONS BY WAJE, a fitness wear line promoting self-confidence and strength.

Motherhood is often painted as a blissful journey filled with joy and bonding. But for many women, the reality is far more complex — and far less talked about. Rashidat Olere, Operations and Sales Manager at BellaNaija, knows this firsthand. After welcoming her children, she found herself battling an unexpected and overwhelming darkness: postpartum depression. In this candid conversation, she opens up about navigating the emotional toll, the trauma that shaped her experience, and the support that helped her find her way back to herself.  What are the common symptoms of postpartum depression, and how do they differ from typical “baby blues”? Many mothers describe it as a vacuum—an emotional numbness that they can’t quite explain. In my case, I lost confidence in myself and felt suicidal after the birth of both of my kids. There was a strong urge to self-harm, and I struggled with overwhelming sadness for a long time. Unlike baby blues, which resolve on their own, postpartum depression lingers, making it difficult to function and enjoy life. Postpartum depression is more intense and lasts longer than baby blues. While baby blues bring temporary mood swings and mild sadness, postpartum depression creates a lingering sense of emptiness, […] The post More Than a Mother: Rashidat Olere on Healing from Postpartum Depression appeared first on BN Style.

Picture this: You step into HERtitude 2025, and it’s like walking into a time machine only better. The air is electric with vintage vibes, the outfits are screaming elegance, and every babe around you looks like she just stepped out of an iconic fashion era. But hold up, what exactly is Retro Glam, and how do we make it pop our way? Retro Glam isn’t just about throwing on something “old-school” it’s about choosing an era, embracing its best fashion moments, and adding that Naija sauce. Are we talking 1920s flapper chic with fringe and pearls? Or 1950s Hollywood diva with nipped-in waists and red lips? Maybe it’s giving 1970s disco queen, all shimmer, afro and platforms. OR, and hear me out, we mix it all up and create a fusion that’s as bold and beautiful as us. Now, because we’re Nigerian (and extra in the best way possible), we’re taking it a step further.

Luxury fashion has always been a symbol of prestige, exclusivity, and meticulous craftsmanship. From the grand couture houses of Paris to the intricate, handwoven textiles of Africa, the concept of luxury is evolving. Today, luxury is no longer just about the price tag or brand name—it is about innovation, cultural depth, and the artistry behind every stitch.  In this new era, designers are redefining luxury by blending traditional craftsmanship with modern silhouettes, proving that heritage fabrics and artisanal techniques can stand alongside the finest materials in the world. One African designer leading this movement is Rafiat Taiwo of Rafiat Clothing, a brand that has mastered the art of elevating heritage fabrics into high fashion.
