FIVE THINGS ON MY MUST-HAVE LIST

I'm loving so many items right now, from lipsticks to tshirts,  but these five top my list and I'm going to show you why.

1. AFRICAN PRINT WRAP SKIRT BY NAADU

It is number one on my list for so many reasons;you know that feeling you get when you see an amazing fashion item and you're already thinking of different ways to rock it?
Well, that is exactly how i felt when i saw this wrap skirt.
In a matter of minutes i had already paired it with a white long sleeved shirt, a crop/tank top , sneakers and even a Tshirt all in my head. lol 
You can stop by their pop-up shop at the African Regent Hotel from now till 23rd September or contact them on +233234974530



2. VASTIES RETRO SUNGLASSES

They are about the coolest sunglasses in Ghana right now, so chic and fab. They are the perfect accessories on any sunny day ,thankfully there's sunshine all year round.
I can't wait to lay my hands on a pair or two.
They are available on vasties.storefoundry.com




3. JADA PONCHO HOODIE BY NUNA COUTURE

Cool is my favourite word today, and for a good reason too.
This hoodie is unisex and can be worn in different ways. Comes in coal black, royal blue,blue-black,light oatmeal, white, orange-red and turquoise green.

4. MSIMPS LAPTOP BAG

I love the Africa print and leather combination and to make it even better, it can be customized to suit your lifestyle.
And yes it'll make the perfect gift item too. *gift ideas*

5. KAMOKINI SWIM WEAR

This being on my wishlist has nothing to do with the fact that i love water (well I'm an Aquarius). I can't say much about my swimming skills, but going to the pool or the beach is always a good idea to me. :-)
I love swim suits, probably my favorite fashion item ever and these kamokini swim suits give me a reason to love them even more, so so stylish.
They are available on luxoca.com


So there you go, here's my list.
What's on yours? Tell me...

DETAILS

It is a very beautiful and colourful skirt, so we need to go easy on the other pieces we are going pair it with. It's very feminine and definitely a good mood booster.

For a top I chose this black bralet which is because I love all things black , black is a classic and the skirt stands out.

I then went for a Frida nude high heel ankle strap sandal and finished the look off with an elegant jeweled nude clutch.

THE COMPLETE LOOK

Quite simple right?

This look is perfect for a date night  or a girls night out. It can also work as a day look.

MADIBA LIVES ON IN OUR HEARTS

It's an honour to pay tribute to a man who has imparted this generation so much and so positively.
A man most of us never met yet we spoke about like our favourite grand pa.
I used to imagine myself in a picture taken with this legend...wishful thinking.
What mostly comes to mind when Nelson Mandela is mentioned is UNITY AND FORGIVENESS.
Two virtues our world today could do with.
Even now when he's passed on to glory,his wisdom and ideals we still carry in our hearts.
As the world mourns Madiba,i'd like us to reflect on some of the deep and thoughtful words of wisdom he shared with us.
And probably learn a thing or two from this legend.
In reality,Madiba will never die,bacause he lives on....in our minds and in our hearts.
