"FULA" Jewel by Lisa Spring/Summer '13

It's 2013!

Happy New Year Beautiful people!

2012 has been a wonderful year all round: in fashion,Food (as always) and my personal life.Fashion in 2012 was wonderful Africa. Finally African Designers are getting a lot of attention from the world Over. Several of them have broken into the international Scene, my favorite being Lisa Folawiyo owner of the Jewel by Lisa line and the J-Label (definitely doing a post on her later). Ghana had its first official "Ghana Fashion and Design Week" and its first "Legon Fashion Week" both in Accra.

So this is thank you to everyone who has criticized, motivated and supported me in the past year; family an friends and all those wonderful people who drop in to check on TRB. Thank you and God bless.

Hey everyone!!!

It feels so good to be writing again. I'm sooooooo sorry that I've not been updating my blog. I've been so busy with school and other things.

 But i'm back now, and i'll love to introduce you to some fabulous designer that i discovered today.Her name is Bola Obileye. She's a fashion stylist, Photojournalist, Fashion Editor, Accessories Designer, Author, and Career mentor. I found her online, never heard of her before, but so far I'm incredibly impressed by her. She does ankara handbags, ankara laptop cases, ankara necklaces, clutch bags and so on. 

In a fashion industry where everybody does ankara and everything has become incredibly boring, her stuff is a breath of fresh air. Her designs are beautiful, photography flawless and she even calls herself the Ankaranista! (New word people :D) I think she's beautiful, stylish and fabulous. For more information on her, go to www.totecollections.com

Ankara denim and shoes.

I wasn't sure what to name this post. Because I'm not sure of what to name the trend. Traditional denim? Ankara denim? Ankara and denim? Tribal denim? Either ways this trend is fantastic. It is denim so its just as easy to rock. Its just way better because there are pops of color. This is double fantastic if you're trying to rock the double denim trend because it just makes yor outfit look more interesting and less blue....lol.

If you want to get them you can order online from  www.duafedenimonline.com. A cheaper and better alternative would be to give it to a antastic tailor or better yet do it yourself. Check www.thefashionengineer.com for tips.

                                  To make this "gel" better, add some Ankara shoes.
Pair the shoes and denim using tips from my "Pattern on Pattern" post.

Thanks for reading!!!
