Hello Stylish Friends!! Summer is coming to an end but I am not sad to say I won’t miss it much. My favorite season is coming up. Can you guess what it is? Yes, you guessed right-FALL. I like fall because I am able to express myself with various looks and styles. Today's post is all about the transition from summer to fall. I know prints are a big deal right now, but for me this is part of my culture. Wearing prints in Africa is the same as wearing a pair of jeans and top in America. The  African print top I am wearing was made in Sierra Leone by a friend of mine. The pink midi skirt and the knee high gladiators, I purchased from Missguided. The photoshoot was taken in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas by Ejacson, (check his IG @Ejacson and his http://www.ejacson.com). He is young and talented, and is going to make it big in the photography industry. It was such a pleasure to work with him.

Hello Fashion Friends!! Hope you’re staying cool in this hot summer weather we are currently encountering in the DMV area. As for me, I been trying to stay cool by staying indoors as much as possible. I went to Malmaison for brunch with my fellow fashion bloggers Akinyi and Jennifer. These two phenomenal ladies I can now call my fashion friends are so fun to be around.  It is always a blast being surrounded by individuals that have the same passion as you do.It’s so refreshing.

For the brunch, mind you this was all the way in April and was still cool, I decided to do another take on the denim on denim look. I wore a denim shirt with a denim dress which I wore as a skirt. I used my denim vest as a headwrap. I accentuated the look with some color with my yellow blazer. Jennifer also did a denim look while Akinyi kept it simple with a skirt, top, and thigh high boots.
