A fashion designer from Nigeria, she has been expressing her creativity through bold, feminine, structured designs for over 7 years. She works with african fabrics and prints but not only and, in this day and age where everyone is throwing on african fabrics and prints in the mix with little discernment, she does it with grace and achieves greatness. We can definitely appreciate that.  Read More

Effortlessly stylish with Stella Jean

Friday, May 18, 2012

It has been a long while since I’ve wanted to buy something sooo bad. I have to say that lately fashion has not been my number 1 priority. As you know there’s life, work, family, friends and among all of this I have gotten lazy. Yes. Because, you girls know it, fashion takes time, effort, money (=time), inspiration, creativity AND the right environment. And I work in an environment (journalism…general; not fashion journalism) where style and fashion are not privileged…at all.  Read More

Illamasqua goes AfroHip

Thursday, March 15, 2012

Illamasqua is a British brand of cosmetics to die for. Known for their dramatic makeup and intense color they offer great quality products with reasonable prices…that is if you buy in the UK. Unfortunately their products are not yet available in Canada and their shipping costs through their website are still a little high..so until they’re available, why not lust after their products through their fabulous latest ad campaign?  Read More

Thursday, November 10, 2011

First came the BHF Magazine about African style, fashion, design and beauty.

Stevy Mahy – Talent & Style

Thursday, October 27, 2011

We fell in love with her voice first. The sweetness of her tone, the depth of her lyrics. the way she seems to bare her soul and feelings for the world to see. And we identified with her multicultural influences, traveling from the Caribbeans to the US, to Europe and Africa. We heard all of those influences in her music and immediately fell in love with the sound of author composer and interpreter Stevy Mahy.  Read More

The Perfect Jewelry of Happiness

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

There are some colors, textures and sounds that will always remind us of our childhood. That’s exactly what came to my mind when I first saw some of the pieces of Kondwani’s Collection, a brand new jewelry line from the UK.  Kondwani (Happiness in Chichewa – one of the two official languages in Malawi), is actually the name of the owner of this line who, like many of us who often travel to and from Africa, realized that whenever  Read More

Kente Skirts at American Apparel

american_apparel_kente_feat2

I am not gonna lie. I am NOT a fan of American Apparel. I always thought that the brand was overrated and overpriced. Their borderline pornographic ads did not do anything in their favor either. But, I’m kinda diggin’ these cute little skirts in kente fabric. Kente is known as the “cloth of kings” and, surely, using it to create these short little skirts is not honoring it but I cannot help but be happy whenever I see african prints and fabric in unusual... Read More
