Coming up

As most of you know by now, I am a huge advocate for up and coming designers-especially African designers.
 While I was in Texas, I had the pleasure of wearing my first piece from cjaj09 and boy was it a hit!
The designer had approached me last year to take a look at her site and I saw some pieces I could work with but this skirt captured my heart. It's a unique piece as no two of the items on the site are exactly the same, even if 2 people purchase the same product, the pattern or color would be slightly different.

*J'espère que d'ici vous aurez constaté que j'aime bien collaborer avec des couturieres moins reconnus, surtout les couturiers africains avec beaucoup de talent.
Durant mon sejour au Texas, j'avais l'immense pliasir de porter finalemt une jupe de cjaj09 qui a attiré beaucoup d'attention. Cette création est la seule au monde, et j'aime bien ceci avec cjaj09-les vêtements sont tous uniquent.

"Child blow your horn now"

I normally stay clear of Ankara jumpsuits. I find that they tend to either manage to make me look fatter, are too stiff or give major camel toe. The latter was true in this case but nothing that a little tugging couldn't fix.
This jumpsuit also had me doing something I never do- go bra-less!! Hahaha

I just had to try it on when I went to my designer's place to try on a dress. It fit me like she had sewed it with me in mind! Haha.
I love the print as well as the sort of 60's cut and I couldn't stop playing Beyonce's "Work it out" when I put it on!

P.S. While we're here, let's not forget to remember the over 200 girls who should be wit their loved ones but got abducted in Ngeria and forced to convert to Islam. #bringbackourgirls!!!!

Old, but I'm not that old. Young but I'm not that bold

This outfit came to me during the Winter but with it being so cold, I knew I would have to store it in the "Outfit posts ideas" part of my brain (yes, a portion of my brain is dedicated to outfit post ideas. Please tell me I'm not alone...
* Cette tenue m'étais venue en tete pendant l'hiver mais à cause du froid, je savais que je serais obligé d'attendre le beau temps pour la porter! Il existe une partie de mon cerveau dedié juste aux tenues que je vais porter-j'espère que je ne suis pas la seule qui reflechisse comme ça, haha!

Miss Afropolitan 2014 is...!

My beautiful people! If you follow me on Instagram then yo would know that this past weekend I had some judging duties!
I had been contacted last year by the folks over at the Afropolitan Week of Fashion and Arts to see if I would be interested in being a judge and I had agreed.
The ceremony took place on Saturday downtown Toronto and it was a huge success. It was extremely entertaining and the winner deserved the title-she was poised, classy, well informed about world events and articulate! It didn't hurt that we are from the same country, haha. So congratulations to Miriam, Miss Bamengoum, who is the 2014 Miss Afropolitan! 

All the ladies looked great and kudos to the make up artists and designers who dressed them! Also a huge shoutout to the creators; Kelly and Sourayath!

I got to meet the ladies behind KUWALA, an online destination for all things Ankara.

Blast from the Past

Good day my lovelies!
I love finding pieces in my closet that I haven't worn in ages!
I found these H&M shorts I had bought for just $10 about 3 years ago and they still look and feel great. I'll be honest and say I do sometimes wear the shorts to bed, especially when it's as hot as it is in Houston!

*Les culottes et cuisses sont sortis pendant mon sejour a Houston
J'avais achete ces culottes il y a environs 2-3 ans et je les aiment tres bien! Je dois avouer que je les portent de temps a temps pour me coucher le soir car elles sont si confortables!

SKin

Continuing on with my Texas trip posts, here is a sexy outfit I wore during one of the hottest days there-although everyday was so hot! Haha

Je suis de retour avec plus des photos prises pendant mon sejour a Houston. E|h oui, j'y suis alle avec une valise remplis des vetements! Haha
Voici un habillement sexy que j'ai porte pendant l'une des journees les plus chaudes!

Interview with Esosa E (AKA Ngozi) from the hit show "An African City"

 “An African City” is the latest "It" show out there for the young and independent African woman. It has been garnering so much media attention having been featured on CNN, BBC, BET, Ebony, Bella Naija and ELLE magazine, just to name a few so I am very excited to be able to interview one of the ladies responsible for this tremendous success.

My intention today is for my readers to get to know Ms Esosa Edosomwan better as well as gain further insight into the show. She is indeed an accomplished actress in her own merit having played roles in several movies and featured films before landing a role on this show.

I love you Houston :)

 First off let me start this post by thanking Kike of Styled By Kalack for the lovely feature which you can read HERE. I loved how the questions were different and also like the pictures she chose to use.

*Un gros Merci a Kike du blog "Styled By Kalack" pour l'entrevue sur son blog! J'ai bien aimé les questions qu'elle m'a posé et les photos qu'elle a selectionné.
