I never used to be wallpaper girl. I'm not a wallpaper. I never thought I'd be a wallpaper girl. However,  gradually and surely folk like @oxfordone have changed me from not being a wallpaper girl to being a wallpaper girl. Who could say no to this wallpaper? None I tell ya. None.

Ana Sekularac has always just been amazing. I've pulled her work to style for the red carpet for premieres and more.  Years later she is still amazing. Ana I want this dress! Dress by Ana Sekularac.

The Kente fabric of the Ashante of Ghana is already a pretty regal textile. Throw in a bit of repurposed styling to how it is worn and you are looking at something fairly special. Liking what @jega_smoove has going on in this picture. 

Style | Dani Quaye

It's her way with minimalism, it's her look (she does that black and white ish thing mighty good), it's her attitude... It's everything about that cool kid @thelittlequaye . 

Trend | Check

If there is one trend that is having a moment it is check. Adorning everything from outerwear (think duvet like puffer jackets) to coordinating sets ala Cher in 90s hit movie 'Clueless',  check is everywhere. There is a check to suit every body type,  high street leaders Topshop and Zara have some great pieces to choose from if the designer is more than your budget.

My Style | 1977

I have a thing for crochet. If it is a crochet garment all the better. Hooray for these crochet garments. They'd fit right in the 70s. I'm a 70s kinda girl. 

My Style | Love

Love is a dress that knows the beat of your heart. If you can pair it with quasi tennis shoes then it's good to go. Love is this dress. Photo by @teyneenlouise. 

Photo | Headwrap

I suppose there are two types of people. Those who like a good headwrap and those who don't. I instinctively fall into the group of the latter. I've begun to believe that I think in headwrap. Photo by @teyneenlouise (who takes a mean photo by the way).

My current crush happens to be the lovely and interesting Laura Harrier. Her beauty is clearly evident and this collage by @labyrinthofcollages couldn't show it more clearly. She makes interesting style choices and there's an exotic feel about her looks. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her style. 

Design | Quirk

I have no idea who this image is by. I have no idea what the inspiration is. I have no idea why it puts a smile on my face but it sure does. I wish I was as stylish.  

My Style | Happy Place

This dress is the go to piece for a good old mood boost. You how certain pieces just make you happy by looking at them. This dress is one of those pieces. It makes me happy just looking at it. Paired with a fun belt and boots it was all good.  

My Style | Funk

I have a thing for a great pair of flared jeans. A good crochet top is a must too. You get me? 

Art | Parfum

I like an image of a good perfume bottle. This one had me at had me from go. The almost perfect drawing,  the play on Chanel branding and more. You've gotta love a good art piece. 

 

Photo | Thoughts

I like a good photo. The play on light and shadows. It is always interesting how it looks in the end.  I like the light in this photo. It is just about right. 

Trend | 90s sunglasses

It is a 90s sunglasses thing. Every where you look there's a pair and it's colored. The season for the large frame is gone and it is all about the 90s shade. It is being championed by street style and Catwalk alike. 

My Style | Rock star

Sometimes one great print meets another and when that happens they can't help but get on.  These pants I've nothing but love for. They have this rock star thing about them. They are the life of a party. They go the extra mile. 

Campaign | Moschino Spring 2018

There's a nineties feel to this campaign that really resounds with me. Shot by Meisel featuring Adut Akech, I like that it feels true to the fashion house. It looks like it could be a vintage ad and that's not a bad thing.

My Style | Good time girl

I like an outfit that has fun. Fun matching prints, fun with headpieces,  fun  trying on different textures. I think clothes were made to have a memorable time. What's your opinion, how do you like your clothes?
