WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

As predicted. The dynasty has begun. Nicki Minaj has successfully dominated the rap world as the top female rapper as of yet. As for Drake well he still has a long ways to get there...maybe when Jay Z decides to retire O_0?

Bags, Bags, and More Bags

I admit. I am addicted to shopping...but I'm more addicted to purses. Handbags, Totes, clutches, whatever you want to call it, I love them. So imagine how happy I was when I discovered that people actually made purses  with African print. So, on my search for the perfect purse, I stumbled across a couple of websites that really took me by surprise. Most of the purses look great and would make the perfect accessory for that walk to class or that pop you're looking for when you are about to hit the club.


Here are some great websites I found: 

myasho.com

A FASHIONISTA'S DREAM....COME TRUE


 Ok. So I totally discovered this great website myasho.com that I can order clothes from that actually incorporates African themes. The name of the website is derived from the Yoruba language and when broken down “aṣo” means cloth and is pronounced “ash-awe”   Believe me, looking for a site that actually looked nice and had great clothes to offer was not an easy to task. This site is a fashionista's dream and many of their items are handcrafted and come in limited quantity which is why some of the prices are a little over the top. Some of the stuff they have on the site are very beautiful and the great thing about it is that they ship internationally.The best thing about it is that not only do they have clothes for women, they make clothes for men and children and offer other things such as household items such as African print pillows.

Feel free to check it out and see the beauty for yourself =)

MY VISION

I created this blog because I felt as if there were not enough blogs that were dedicated to the African culture when it comes to fashion. 

My world revolves around fashion and I try to keep up with the hottest trends while making my own statement in the fashion world. There are a lot of African designers and African inspired styles that are under exposed. I hope to bring to light a lot of the hottest African fashion and trends out and how they can be incorporated all over the world. This blog is not only dedicated to African Fashion but fashion in general. In other words, it's a walk in my life and how I view everything from my perspective.

My opinions, my words, my thoughts......


I hope you enjoy the journey and feel free to contact me if you have any great suggestions or ideas you want to see on my blog.
