It's something new: Afropolitian...

What is AFROPOLITIAN?Who even started this term? A girl named Eniola David:

 started a mini line of 6 outfits, which represent the name of her line so well. They represent the 1970 afro renesissance in Nigeria and she became inspired by the prints and styles found in the time period. She resides in toronto, this young fashion designer and was EVEN featured in TORONTO FASHION WEEK (MAKING MOVESSS). She hasn't hinted at expanding her line but I HOPE SHE DOES! This ENTIRE (seriously everything) LINE are clothes I could rock and love wearing. 

 

Haute Stuff!

Afro-Chic Style Envy: Shingai Shoniwa

This young hip lady is always looking so fabulous, she is the lead singer for the band The Noisettes, she's from Zimbabwe, so that's where she gets all of the beautiful garments made with the African print styled with modern pieces. That's what I like most about her, her look is casual mixed with modern pieces today that have African designs on them. She's like a mixture between JANELLE MONAE (cause of the hair and whatnot) with MAMA AFRICA (lol) Even though I'm from Kenya, shes looks so chic and she deserves her props.

Ch-Ch-Changes

I've decided to make my blog a lot broader but keeping the same African feel but adding a lot more about my life, events and stuff that has to do with NEW YORK! Knowing myself, almost all the events will be free or cheap but I think if I make it broader, I could blog more

yesh!
