Being in Ghana was a wonderful experience. Especially since I hadn't visited in 10 years. Yes... I know 10 YEARS!!! I promise I will never allow it to be that long again. One of the thins I wanted to see was the Cape Coast Castle. I wanted to reaquaint myself with my history. I think anyone who goes to Ghana should go there. Above are some of the pictures I managed to take.
So Spring/Summer is upon us and I am so happy to get out of my long coats and jumpers and explore more with fashion. I've been missing my home land and since I have just got back from a visit there, I wanted some remarks of the beautiful place. So I was eager to wear my African print head scarf. I love it because it brings so much character to an otherwise normal and possibly boring outfit.

Lately, I have been loving the whole androgynous look. Ive incorporated it into my own personal style and given it a new twist. I would love to pull off a full androgynous look but i don't think i have the confidence to do all that yet. But it soon come people. Just you wait :).
I know it's been so long guys... but I am back now. Promise
Stay Beautiful and Stay Balanced.

I hope as women we are indulging in this day dedicated to us. Of course we must celebrate our worth day by day. But its nice for us as a union to be recognized at a unit.
Today I'm bringing you something different than that of my usual blogging style.
I had the privileged to collaborate with Karen and Esther on a fun day shoot just for this cause. Expressing the unity of women. We had great fun shooting with the fab photographer Ayo.
"Unity is strength. When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved"
Mattie J.T Stepanek
As women in society, we can get caught up in the "competition" of life. Always trying to out do one another. We forget that Power comes in Unity. We as a body of people can achieve so much more when we uphold and lift one another up rather than tearing each other down.
I for one am all about the unity of women. That is why when the opportunity presented itself to work with these ladies, I couldn't pass it up. Sharing love is so rewarding. I encourage all my readers to embark on this journey.
"The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is because we are disunited with ourselves"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So lets make a change and stay united as a people, but more importantly as women.
So in link with power and unity, I wanted to reflect on power clothing. How does your clothing make you feel? To me, Clothing says a lot about a person. You can tell a persons personality, lifestyle and confidence through materials on an individuals back.
Jumpsuits to me represent power. I think its because of the confidence I exhume when I wear it.
"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come... Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all"
Proverbs 31:25 + 29
"Love is the strongest force the world possesses"
Mahtama Gandhi
When we accept ourselves for who we are and LOVE ourselves, then we can give love to others. In honor of International Women's Day, I embarked on the #DearMe movement. below is advice to myself. below is the link I hope you enjoy :)
I think it's become no secret that I love grey during the winter months. I just find it so comforting and to be honest, it does fit in with the atmosphere most of the time lol.
I am so in love with this coat. It is just evvverrrythinggg to me right now. And for £20, that's not half bad right?!?! I do not have a favorite color, I've never been the one to be picky (if it looks good on me, I'm wearing it). However, with that being said, I am a neutral girl. I know... contradictory right? But whats a girl to do!!
You know what i say, just go with what you comfortable with and in this current season, I'm loving my grey. I can't help it. Plus it i do think it looks good and sophisticated.
During the winter, a pop of color doesn't hurt either :)
