Purple Fro & Leopard

purplefro-5 purplefro4 purplefro purplefro-6  purplefro-3 purplefro-2

Love my purple fro. I like this look all together. I love mixing different prints and patterns. You should try it too. It’s so much fun and makes you feel alive while out on the town with a date, with friends or a party. And you don’t have to go buy new things. Just look in your closet, grab a few fab pieces and try them together. When you get it right you will know :-)

Vintage Paisley

newyearzrq DSC_0206 DSC_0227 I bought this Vintage Paisley skirt at a second hand store. I love the colors, the length and how it flow with the opening slit on the side.  I decided to pair it with a jean shirt and a tank and they wen perfect together for a nice outing or a day of shopping.

This is the perfect date outfit and the mustard scarf adds a pop of color that’s just right paired with this leather mini and tie up booties. I love this Ostrich & Snakeskin faux leather clutch too. The perfect size for small needed items while out. This knitted sweater is is worn over a simple white tank.

Afro Pop!

You guys no I love a white tank, so I paired it with a pastel green scarf, a yellow rain coat and some daisy dukes lol and a pair of metallic bronze booties.

Afrolicious Tribe

This is one of my favorite outfits I styled for the Afrolicious Hair Affair. I found these tribal pants and top in the fashion district of downtown LA. I had no idea what I was going to wear so I bought this pretty yellow heart shaped tube dress, a colorful tunic to choose from a couple of days before then at the last minute I put on these pants and realized that the top went perfect with the pants and put on this H&M blazer.  I had always planned to wear the mini top hat.  You can purchase these in the Afro City store. Oh and the handsome little pooch is my neighbors :-)

I saw this heart shaped bustier jumper and loved the color and print. It fit perfectly and so comfortable. Love the side pockets.A Jumper is alway a good investment because all you have to do is slip on the one piece and go.

This little stripped number was just too cute.  The royal blue and yellow stripes pairs together wonderfully and goes with my yellow T-straps.  I’m loving me some stripes this season.  I’ll be looking for more.  I love the zipper in the back.  Easy on, easy off 😉 I wore this to a friends play in Santa Monica.

Lupita

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.

I paired this polka dot chiffon top top with these daisy dukes and cork bottom heels and a straw hat.  I’m actually wearing the top backwards.  I though the yellow bow tie would look really cute in the front.  This was a fun look.

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 😉
