My lil creation

So I have been occupying myself with knitting and sewing. Am not saying my sewing is on point but sister can try. Ever since I bought my sewing machine I have been trying to sew anything and it hasn't been a success well most of the time.
My dress was a disaster but I wear it like that..lol..still learning..lol

African Prints

I love me some African prints, and i ain't the only soul in the universe whose got a soft spot for these prints. Peeps like Rihanna, Beyonce, and Alicia Keys are also wearing them..celebrities are wearing Boxing kitten's collection.

For those who don't know what BK is( its modern African fashion by Designer Maya Amina Lake.).

So here is some of the BK collection worn by Rihanna and Solange. There's a mixture of BK collection and just random outfits I found on the net that I liked..

Solange

What can I not say about Solange Knowles....I love her to bits from her music to her fashion sense, you gotta give this girl credit for what she does..Musically I feel she's one of the very many underrated musical geniuses there is of our generation...her music for me is representative of the neo-afrocentric woman who isn't afraid to be herself and let the world see it,she represents the freedom to express who you are without being afraid of rejection or being called different...much so represented in her trend setting fashion sense... her latest fashion statement the all natural hair makes her a legend in fashion in my eyes....she has confirmed my never changing belief that black women are beautiful natural and we have to learn to appreciate it....in this society where the media has fooled us into believing that our all natural look dating back to our ancestors is socially unexceptable,she has managed to prove that not only does this afrocentric look set trends and break fashion boundaries but it also embraces the very essence of the beauty in real women! not all celebrities stay true to their values and crumble at trying to keep up with unrealistic set standards set by the media..by being who she is she's giving young women the confidence to love being who you are and not being afraid to show it off!! There's nothing wrong with being different!! For me she inspires me to be a better woman and embrace and love my roots,and hopefully one day be an amazing mother...she put the elegance and color back into "soccer mum"
