I love blazers,So when i came across these beautiful blazers online, I was blown away.
They looked classy,the fabric and design were on point.
Blazer by Aku Shika is a Ghanaian fashion label that has been in existence for almost a year, and is owned by Natasha Naa Aku Shika Brown, a twenty three(23) year old Marketing graduate of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public administration(GIMPA).
According to Natasha, she is a lover of fashion and has a passion for designing clothes.
She decided to start with blazers because there is a high market for blazers in Ghana and all of Africa and being an upcoming designer she started with women to help her penetrate into the market.
"I wanted to showcase to Africa and the whole world,what designs i could bring to the table in terms of fashion. Blazers match with almost everything in terms of clothing. You could rock a blazer with any outfit and it still gives you that responsible, classy and edgy look."-  Natasha Naa Aku Shika Brown

She's inspired by shapes,architecture ,colour and basically everything around her.

 Accra [dot] Alt presented chalewote street art festival 2013 on the 7th and 8th of September.
The exciting build up to this year's Chalewote street art festival was contagious.
I had not been part of previous ones and was really looking forward to it.
No amount of words can describe the fun,the excitement and the MAGIC.
The stunts, cultural performances,kick boxing ,the people.......
Jamestown saw an array of people passing through, photographers, designers, models,bloggers,lovers of art and others who came to satisfy their curiosity.
Day one was all sunny and bright and Day two ironically was a rainy cloudy day.
I saw Jamestown in a whole new light,Well as a model i discovered a few places to have a fun photoshoot.
 I had so much fun walking from one end of the festival to the other,even my fragile bones didn't complain lol
Hopefully will see you at next year's event.
