Every girls needs that one sexy black dress
The Little Black Dress –
The little black dress is often credited to Chanel founder, Coco Chanel, dating
back to 1926. The concept was radical at the time since black was considered a colour
for mourning rather than for fashion. Now, the piece has gone on to become a
staple in almost every woman’s closet. A classic sheath dress like the one worn
by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast in Tiffany’s or something more
modern like a ace-adorned dress is the great way to go and can be accessorized
almost endlessly.
I personally
have more than one black dress in my closet. Honestly a black dress can change one’s
life, one it makes you look smaller and all the right places, two it gets you
the right attention you need. Also styling a black dress is not that
complicated but it should not be overdone also.

African Fashion going International
African fashion going international, we are
honestly painting the fashion industry with our beautiful print and colours.
Zanjoo is a fashion hot spot for
the girl who wants a unique, colourful, exotic, fashion forward wardrobe that
accentuates and compliments her beauty and fierceness. Work It!
Founded by fashion and lifestyle
blogger Peeks of the MO-AM Network, the idea was conceived when her and her
partner Mr X were discussing the need for a one stop shop that sells all things
fabulous, African inspired and complimentary to the average dope girls
wardrobe…. so here it is.
The main reason both Mr X and
Peeks are excited about this venture is they are embracing their heritage of
Nigerian/Yoruba decent. Both have family from the beautiful Lagos area.

Spring 2015
Okay, so spring is here
but that does not mean colour blocking right. In this blog we are going to look
at what to wear this spring. Shirt dresses are the easiest to style, but it is very
important not to overdo it, just pair it up with a pair of tommies or white all-stars.

summer dresses
Summer is finally here, I mean I know am excited to show off my beautiful thick legs, which have become light from all the winter outfits. What’s really fun about summer is that it does not limit you from trying out new outfits and so on. One of my biggest reasons why I love summer is because I can simply wear my summer dresses, it’s as easy is that. I do not stress about any combination of some sort, all I do slip it to that thigh long dress, or that short beautiful floral dress and just pair it up with a cute pair of sandals or all stars. So enjoy summer because it makes fashion so easy.

Who is my favorite fashion icon
So who is my favorite icon, really had
question to answer, but it has to Bonang Matheba my Queen B, simply because she
is classy, elegant, beautiful and rocks every outfit she puts on I mean you cannot
hate on that.
A good
description of her success found in the Street Fashion blog,
“From Radio DJ to executive producer at
her own entertainment company, Bonang Matheba, better known as "Queen
B" is definitely blooming on the South
African "It" list this year. She recently added Top
Billing to her success list when she appeared on the lifestyle and travel show
as the newest member of the top billing family. Being the most
followed female in South Africa, with a huge following of 316290 twitter
followers, already says a bit about her hustle in media and the style
icon she has become to many”.
Since this is a fashion blog, I want to get straight into her style choices and who inspires her the most. According to an interview I've seen recently, her biggest style icon at the moment is Olivia Palermo who's also a huge NYC fashion socialite who dresses to kill. A part from being dressed by talented SA designer 'Gert Johan Coetzee' for Red Carpet Events, Bonang herself has some serious killer day to day style as she was awarded for 'Most stylish media personality not too long ago. Being so well known in the twitter verse, she's often tweeting pictures of what she wore, almost daily. I love that she uses accessories as a main key in her look almost over powering the look itself, but keeping it casual and raw at the same time.
