Made In Africa

There's this place I'm from.. It's quite heavenly. If you look beyond its flaws, you'll see.

MADE IN AFRICA

That's me.

So now that my sis and I are back to living in the same continent, country, let alone the same house, we go on dates lol. So whenever you see a date night post, it's my SISTERRR I'm going out with lol. 

That being said, given that my sis is my first hubby, I gotta look presentable to be by her side :P

Recently, I've been rekindling my love for items I haven't worn in YEARS. This shirt was given to me by a designer I modeled it for, and that was 3 to 4 years ago. I had worn it a couple times, but today I decided to finally dress it up and give it that polished look.

The necklace I'm wearing was also gifted to me by the owner of the amazing accessory store "Behave", which also exists in Europe, as we have worked together repeatedly for the fashion magazine Elixir Dakar.

I know this may come as a shock to those who know me but I've recently learned to take off the rings my mommy made for me which I literally have been wearing EVERY DAY for the past 5+ years. I've been into statement rings and stacking those babies across my hand.

I bought this coat almost a year ago, and this turned out to be the very first time I got to wear it. It's just never cold enough around here.

These heels were gifted to me back in 2009 by a great friend and I only wore them twice so today was the third time. I'm going through all of my belongings and giving them a second life, as opposed to going on a crazy shopping spree; you know how dangerous that can be lol.

HELLO MY LOVES !

I am well aware of how neglected this blog has been and there are a million reasons why. I finally managed to buy myself a new camera lens to replace my faulty one that refused to take photos. So now... I have no excuse to not INVADE your screens with regular blog posts. Oh I hope you are ready for this lol. 

So today I'm sharing with you, an outfit of which the main pieces (the crop top and skirt) are by a Young Senegalese designer that I am very fond of. I'm also finally wearing these heels from Amiclubwear that I bought back in May and never actually got to wear out up until now.

I find these heels to be so flattering on the foot. The ankle strap is super trendy at the moment.. We've all seen the heeled sandals EVERYONE now has in their closet. Well, I feel like this shoe is basically that, BUT with a super sexy (wooden) cutout platform. The coolest part about these shoes is they cost me less than $20. Can you believe that? Me neither, I still can't ;)

So yes, now let's talk about this super duper crop top and skater skirt. As I mentioned earlier, a young designer by the name of Diarra Bousso is behind it. I've been a fan of her collections from the day I stepped into her showroom here in Senegal. There wasn't one thing I wouldn't wear. So when I saw this gorgeous two piece set on her instagram, I knew I had to have it. Do not worry, she ships to the United States, the United Kingdom and France. 

In case you're wondering, the ring is actually from MY personal store, which I will be telling you all about in due time *cue in "Don't you worry Child"* ;) Omg have I told you guys how much I've been obsessing over white nailpolish recently? Well, now you know! lol

Peep the Back Cleavage on this baby ! lol
