I got this dress at a sample sale. The minute i saw that bright yellow chiffon and lace on the rack I fell in love. I thought to my self this is something I would dress Lupita Nyongo in if I were here stylist. It didn’t fit quite like I had imagined so I made a few adjustments by hand and bought some lace trim to belt and tie in a bow. Yellow is one of my favorite colors along with the pink on my lips. Yellow is a must have this season so make sure you get you some, it looks good on you.

Kente Spikes
I love this outfit. I first wore it to the 1st annual Afrolicious Hair Affair I put on in the Hollywood Hills. I love the Ankara Peplum I layered over this stretchy skirt. The skirt looks like jean but its not. I thought it went so well with my Ankara jean earring with spikes that I made. You can find these earrings in my online store. Experimenting with my hair, I put it in a Fro Hawk. I’m loving my make up in this pic. the blue liner is killer 😉
Ankara with Love
I love this African print dress. I found it at a second had store. The print has these amazing hearts in it and it just wraps around your upper body. I wore this dress in my web series Afro City I dont think this dress could ever go out of style. I sell the shoes in my online store.
Buns & Butterflies
I’m loving my butterfly earrings & Ankara clutch that I made with my new mustard dress. My brass choker go great with my vintage brass & copper elephant broach on clutch. I’ve bee practicing my bun lately…I’m getting better so stay tuned I tried white eyeliner for the first time…it definitely gave me a different look I have to get use too. what do you think? Earrings and clutch are available in the online store. Ring is sold out.
Spring Turban
I bought these shoes over 7 years ago and I’ve only wore them a few times. I love the wood heel and the printed straps. I thought they would go perfect with this turban wrap. a this white dress. This dress is so comfy and it has pockets on the side. I’m a sucker for anything with pockets on the side. I guess you would call this a clean bohemian look.
Jumper
I was never into jumpsuits. I never saw a style that I liked or thought would look cute on me. So when I saw this jumper I almost passed it up, but the sales guy at the sample sale was like “you have to get this” I was like “you think so, what are these things on the side that look like inside out pockets but aren’t pockets”. So I bought it anyway and when I got home and tried it on, it was the most adorable jumper I ever saw and it fit perfectly. Great find
Ankara Gypsy
I love these pants. I bought them at the Salvation Army. I wasn’t sure how I would style them and one friend wasn’t to sure if they would be cute at all, but I knew I could make them look funky. She calls them Hammer pants. I call the Gypsy, Genie or Harem pants and the outfit came out just like I imagined they would. Paired with my leopard heels, wife beater and chocolate turtle neck sweater shawl. I guess that’s how you would describe it. Talk about comfort & style. I love it. what do you think. would you wear these?
Walking the Dog
It was chilly in the neighborhood today so I pulled out the Afro puff ski hat and a purple little wool jacket I bought from a second hand store. You can find these Afro Puff hats in my online store. Just put your hair up and let your hair go wild out the top…lol. I love the color and it pairs perfectly with my loose fitting skinny jeans and pink heels. Of course I have on a white tank because I can always style the hell out of a wife beater. These can be a style saver and best friend I was trying a new bright pink lipstick too…I think I like it.
