Davido Ft. Neato C - Back When

I can't stop listening to this song ! I've had it on repeat for the past 15 minutes. Not only is it catchy but it sends a message. Davido talks about how when he didn't have money and a car, nobody wanted anything to do with him, but now that he does, everyone is all over him. Typical right? Oh yea, the musicians are also from Nigeria ^_^ !

Enjoy loves !!

   

African Rhythm Thursdays !!

Keeping in touch with my African heritage is something I cherish and I never turn down an opportunity to enlighten others about the rich cultural heritage that Africa possesses. So I'm doing something a little different. Every Thursday I will post about 3 music videos or songs from African artists. African artists are coming along in the game especially those from my home country Nigeria ! So enjoy something different for a change.

One love, one Africa

Let's Color Block

So apparently the new thing in is to "Color Block". Simply meaning, wearing colors that you would not normally wear, but still have them flowing at the same time. A lot of celebrities are now into "color blocking" and I must say this is one trend that I like. But let me just say, not everyone can pull this particular style off. It needs a certain fashion and color sense on the part of the individual who dares to brave this technique. Well I did and I got a lot of compliments, so obviously I did something right, even though I didn't know I was color blocking at the time o_O.

Here are a few examples of color blocking so you can see exactly what it is !

Nigerian Beauty on the Rise

There's nothing I enjoy more than seeing  African prints and being able to wear them. So imagine how excited I was when I discovered that my friend, Martina Damilola Adelakun actually made African inspired bow ties, necklaces and headbands and more !! ^_^

Martina Adelakun is a 20 year old Nigerian beauty on the rise and ever since she was 10, she's always had a passion for fashion. She has actually designed and styled many fashion shows but her heart lies in the business of fashion. While working, being a full time student and still maintaining her social life, Martina continues to persevere on her goal to make it to the top in the fashion industry.

Her skills range from designing to styling, image consulting and event coordinating. With her broad range of talents, it's only a matter of time before she blows up. 

Her clothing line is called Damii_Lola, and for more info on how to inquire her services or purchase her designs, follow her on twitter @Damii_lola or email martinaadelakun@aol.com for more info!! She also does fashion shows for anyone interested in featuring her pieces.

New Motivation for Motivation?

Kelly Rowland's new song Motivation had been buzzing the charts lately. So I wasn't  surprised when I came across a remix version that Jeremih did. I love it. Click the link to listen !

Africa Meets Vintage

Summer's just right around the corner and I'm ready for it. But this particular summer is going be different. Lately I've been mixing a lot of my African native wear with some of the vintage blazers or pieces I've acquired over the spring and the result is amazing. Ordinary is so boring so I decided to switch it up. From rocking African inspired turbans to big vintage jackets with abstract patterns the results and compliments I'm getting are phenomenal. So over the course of the summer I will be posting different outfits inspired by African prints & Vintage pieces. Stay tuned and enjoy.
