Wearing your African Print

 Photographer: Seda

What I Wore

Who What Wear: Top

Apar Designs: Pants

Forever21: Jacket

Louiseetcie: lace up heels

SugarFix: Earrings




I had the opportunity five years ago to be in  Baltimore Fashion Week.

 I made these pants called ‘African nights.’ After making these pants, I realized I should continue making more pants like this. Normally, I don’t see pants, especially African print, that have color blocking. It’s an art of designing and making it work. Having to think what will work together, what won’t work

together is key. It’s all about experimenting with prints.
 I definitely would take off the buttons making them black buttons or black and gold buttons. Wait. Pause. I may not done designing! (LOL) In the end, it’s all about having fun making the clothes.  



My line is called Apar designs that gears to women who want bold African prints but still want to do be that modern African women. For me I choose to wear neutral palette with my ‘African nights’ pants and my lace up heels. Which really work well together. 

I want to know, Would you wear these pants?
Until next time,

My Bed Side Candle

Every girl needs a candle by their bed side for many reasons. 
The main one being relaxation. Oh, how the scent of Lavender Rosemary gets me settled in for the night. It also helps me in the morning. If you are a person who likes to mediate, journal, or just reminisce on the days events then a bed side candle is a must for you.

Floral ✖️Cap


What I Wore:
Who What Wear: Dress & Pants
H&M: Tank
Marc Fisher: Sandals


I wore this floral dress from Who What Wear. This dress is so versatile. I wanted to get creative so I opened up the dress and made it a open cardigan! Not only can I mix up how I were it, I can wear it for every season! If I wanted to wear it during Winter, I can add a long sleeve underneath. 


As you have probably noticed, I love adding funk to my outfits. This time around, I added a cap. 
The tank was intimate. Dress/cardigan fun. And hat, cool. All things you wouldn’t normally pair together, but I did! I encourage you all to just try! Don’t knock it until you put it on and see for yourself. Never be afraid to mix patterns or materials. 

HAVE FUN WITH YOUR OUTFITS BABES.




All About That Vintage


All about that vintage!

I found this Thrift vintage dress from Via Gypset, which is a local store in my area. Not only is it about vintage, it’s about supporting local.  I’m all about finding pieces that are timeless. I have to admit was worth getting a bit pricey. I knew that it would fit me from the cut, the fabric, and the details. The best part of shopping in vintage boutiques is finding  pieces that no one will have. That’s why I love shopping at vintage boutique because all of the pieces are super unique. Especially, if your going to an event you want to stand out.

 I love how this dress has the right details and the fabric is so carefree. Whether your going through your everyday routine or going to a ball….you can pull off this dress at any occasion!
What I wore:

Via gypset: dress

Forever21: Leather Jacket

H&M: Bag

Louise et Cie: lace up heels

NYFW: Day 4

Fast forward to day four looks at New York Fashion Week. 

This is the last day of NYFW week for me! I had a blast and really enjoyed my time.
 I have been to NYFW before and this time around was different for me. I wasn’t focused on trying to attend every single show. Learning from last year, I decided to take in everything around me instead of rushing everything. I wanted to enjoy people’s company and the moments. 

 
One thing that is a must for me, and I am sure most people that Fashion Week, are capturing photos. If you follow me on Instagram then you saw my photos from the actual shows. On this blog post, I wanted to focus more on what I wore. I decided to something comfortable yet chic. Let me guess, your first thought was “wonder what heels she wore!” Nope, not this gal. As cute as heels are, they are not for New York. Fashion Week and New York in general call for lots of walking and I wanted to be sure I stayed looking fab all day. Therefore, I did myself a favor and went with these sandals. The pop of color led me to stand out while the funky sleeves on my top, added more fun!  

 Until next year!
