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.

Faux leather buns
This is a simple look I put together. I absolutely love this Faux leather skirt and it has pockets on the side. Pockets on skirts are the best. I forgot to take a photo showing the pockets I will try and post a phot showing pockets. This is my second time wearing a bun. I think I’ll have it down soon with a little more practice. I love how buns look from casual to dressy.
Electric Lady
I put this outfit together at the last minute when I received an invite to the Janelle Monae concert. I wasn’t to familiar with her music but familiar with her style. Janelle has a very diverse audience. My friends said they were dressing up like Janelle and that’s something I never do. Her theme colors are black & white and by coincidence I bought this black & white striped skirt earlier that same day, so I was like what the heck. Throw on that skirt and grab a bow tie from the fashion district & have some fun. When I bought the skirt I thought it was a pencil skirt. I had no idea that it had a split in it but I wore it anyway. That was a fun night & I got a chance to put together an outfit I would never have thought of putting together and I liked it
