AFRICAN PRINTS TAKE OVER



Despite all these trends with lace etc. African prints have recently taken the fashion world by storm! Celebs have been seen rocking them and as a matter of fact they really do look good. Some have even created a whole collection out of the african prints..hmm!


Although some few years back it seemed as if african designs were not exposed but to our surprise it just boomed in the international fashion industry.


Last year in the New York Fashion Week, Singer Gwen Stefani made a collection for her label L.A.M.B from African prints and am lovin em, some say she snatched some designs from the Africa Fashion Week, you be the judge lol!






Here are a few designs from her collection.



Cute flirty dresses

Love this one!





African prints like Vitenge & Khangas have beautiful colors and patterns but from my opinion people usually go wrong when they overmix the colors/patterns to the extent you cant really tell what is nice and what aint. Another thing is the designs, let your mind run wild and be creative you can mix up any color or pattern with either a different material like lace etc or try a solid color and throw on accessories to complete your look.


Remember to keep it to the minimal dont over do it, too much of anything is bad!

As we welcome the new year, we have alot going on but lets start with the trendy part of the year..Reflecting back in 2010 Turquoise was the hottest colour a.k.a the colour of the year BUT somewhere there in between we all managed to bring some sexy back with hot reds and lace,royal blues etc. They all seemed to dominate within the same year..WOW now thats what CREATIVITY and TRENDSETTING really is. Its all about mixing sugar and spice and making it really nice and BAAAM there is the statement u making finally everyone is doin' it. LOL

Here are also some of my favourite 2011 Key Looks:


  • STRIPES:  Oh well this aint so new BUT its a 2011 key look that cant be left out black and white stripes are a Classic ,dominant stripes( blue and white etc.) are the bomb this year 




  • TAIL HEMS: These are dresses longer at the back so u can flaunt em hot legs.



  • LACE: Sexy and classy lace and all time fav if worn properly tho'





  • Oversized Jewellery: A girl has got to love her blings this year pair your look with big earrings or rings let your imagination run wild while you setting the trend.








  • FLORALS :  Staying floral and girly is in but done to the minimum then you will pull it off dont overdo the flowers you wouldnt want to look like a walking garden.
