African Inspired Fashion

My face lights up every time i see African inspired designs on the catwalk..a little voice in me is scream "yeeey go Africa go!"  

African inspired fashion is the new rave in the fashion industry. This trend infiltrated the mainstream in 2010 and has received a significant presence in the runway at fashion shows all over the world. . While Western and other non-African Fashion designers have incorporated African elements in their designs, this trend is identified by the use of African print fabrics,

There are lots of great African designers all over the world and it breaks my heart to know that people are not madly in love with them. I love it because African fabric and designs are very versatile.

We however would rather splash and go all out in label stores than support our very own local designers.

However i must admit our local designers are expensive and not accessible to the ordinary man,forcing us at the end of the day to go to Mr.Price,and purchase a dress that costs less, or even better, go downtown to Owino and drown ourselves in millions of designs and options.

So i suggest they meet us half way...the fabric is bought and made in Africa anyway,so we deserve the right to be treated fairly...*hides* don't want designers killing me., then you can always ridiculously increase the price for Export.

my week in pictures

 

After 3 long days of party preparations and partying, all i wanted to do was spend my remaining 3 days cooling off with friends..so taking coffee,eating pizza,live music and sipping on leftover champagne at home with friends was in order...pheew!

Birthday Party

Hello there,

Like i mentioned before i had a joint Birthday party with my bestie Doreen....exciting!

On this day, i was the most stressed out girl,running around and trying to make sure everything is perfect before the do,which really wasn't a good idea as it left me looking pale and strained (the pictures show)

Absolutely had not make up on,well except for gloss, there was no power,so all the birthday makeup i had been trying out never got to be showcased...anyway luckily for me,i have amazing black skin that hides anything...*hides* (thank God) i dint even get to take a single picture of me showing off the whole outfit...how bizarre!

Anyway enough with the excuses,enjoy a few pics of my friends and i partying hard!
