African textiles and conscious living
Happy New Month, lover! Saying hello to October and goodbye to showing skin. The temperatures have dropped so quickly and you can imagine I’m trying my best to hold onto the scarcest bit of warm weather. Probably the last time you’d see my show this much skin from this point on… till next Spring…
Oh, white. White, white. One of my least favorite colours to wear mostly because I stain everywhere and everything. Plus, if it’s not worn well, you look bigger. Am I the only one who feels that way? Hopefully not. However, I had an all white event and literally had to DIG and RAVAGE through…

So there you go, introducing LAJA Poppins. This is another vintage ankara dress, courtesy Mummy LAJA. The sequins, buttons…

I’m excited to share the second look from my #AnkaraInDisney trip. Yeah this isn’t Disney but I explain why the shoot had to pushed forward. Read the hilarious story here and peep the first outfit here. I love the concept of jeans and ankara. It’s something I have never done before and I look forward…
From my LAJAgram, you’ll know I was in Florida last week. Disney was one of my stops and it was a short and VERY eventful two days. I really need to share this story because it almost feels unreal that such events took place with such coincidences… Or shall I say divine intervention? The…
