Which type of sneakers would you prefer?

Would you go in for either thin or thick? Thin high top is something like a pair of converse sneakers; shoes made of light fabric that, when tied to the top, rest snugly against the leg.

The issue with thin high sneakers is that if tightly laced all to the top, the shoes can make your ankle look awkward and small.

The best pair with the high sneakers is the skinny jeans. It's a great look and very contemporary. It works for both men and women, since skinny jeans are popular for both men and women.

NB: as a general rule, don’t wear same colour of your high top sneakers as your skinny jeans.(unless they are both black because is a classic and basic shade).

Kente Print


Prints are never going to go out of style and a great way to incorporate them into your wardrobe is to use African wax. The print can be rocked effortlessly with items already In Your closet. Feel free to go head to toe if you are really feeling it.

Who gives the fabric a perfect definition and style? It's you the wearer. What I had my designer do with my kente print.

I decided to wear the African hat to complete my African looks. This is a typical northern looks and love it.

Maxi Gown




Maxi dresses as we all know are not only one of the most comfortable, flattering and forgiving clothing to wear, but are also surprisingly versatile too.

They are easy to add layers over, as well as hide layers under, making them the perfect transitional piece for the upcoming fall months where some days are super chilly and others are still warmed by the summer stand. 

Maxi dresses are the favourite pieces to wear for fall but they're also a fantastic way to extend your summer wardrobe and get creative with pieces you already have in your closet as well as fun accessories.

Get inspired by this looks.

Boubou




A long, loose-fitting, brightly coloured garment, worn by both sexes in some parts of Africa

The women's Boubou can be worn in different ways, either by wearing it with the head tie or with the matching wrapper. 

I decided to do away with both the head tie and wrapper because I wanted a different look all together and it worked perfectly well for me. 

This was one of my Sunday looks to church. How best would u rock your BOUBOU? Drop your comments let's share ideas.

Backpack* Double Buckle Monk Strap


The double monk shoes found great popularity in Europe. Specifically, the monks were notably known to wear these shoes during this era which resulted in the naming of the shoes. Monks wore these shoes for the additional level of protection they offered compared to the sandals they normally wore.
I’m going to take a deep dive into the monk shoes and how to wear or style them.
How to style the monk shoes.
1. You can pretty match them in any environment. The first piece to cover is if you should wear them with socks or not. Both can be accepted depending on the environment. Wear socks if you are going to be in a formal setting especially if you going to be in a corporate world.
2. If you want to go casual, and not in a mood to completely dress up, yet want to stand out from the crowd? Wearing these pair of shoes alongside these combinations will make it a reality for you.
A white V-neck, blazer and a pair of jeans work well with the double buckle monk strap.
3. With leather jackets, this casual staple for men and women works well with double monk strap.
Overall the monk strap shoe is now one of my personal and favorite shoes. It makes it much easier when you pondering on what to wear on short notice. If you haven't already, I would highly advice you to include a few pairs on your rack. Trust me, you will thank me later.
They say the most noticeable item a lady/ man wears can be found in their feet. Think about it, most men pay attention to it
