Dakar  fashion week was held July 13th- 20th. With a concentration of fashion weeks in South Africa its good to see more and more African cities hosting their own fashion weeks. Situated on the tip of the Cap Vert Peninsula, the modern capital teems with life and boasts luxurious hotels, a wide range of restaurants, beaches and watersports, a casino and an active nightlife scene. It is also one of the busiest ports for cruise ships in Africa.

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Saturday, July 24, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 
Gwen stefani is one of my style Icons, she knows how to dress up when the occasion calls for it, but she also knows how to dress down and have "style dignity" in casual wear.  Here are some of my favz


Exhibit A:  When the outfit isn't on point but it feels good on wear Killer heels



Exhibit B: the world of sweaters has really improved, play with shapes and lengths and always do big bags.


Exhibit C: How sick is this vest?

Bling It!!!!!

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Thursday, July 8, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 
It was made famous by the egyptian pharoes and African Kings and nobility and was thrown back into this generation by hip hop, gangsters, rappers and pimps (dont you love how the universe works)

Many of you may not know this but I LOVE me some bling on a man. Fellas don't listen to the critics of bling, they just dont understand that sometimes you want to spend money on something that makes you giggle to your self. Bling is really self indulgent (in a good way).

Dont get me wrong I love it when...

Crushing on pearls

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 
Pearls have been infamous for dawning old ladies in a very "I'm simple plain and have no imagination" kind of way. So its not surprising that they originally put me off.

However, a good friend (and total sweet heart) gave me some amazing pearl earrings and reminded me that pearls were beautiful luxurious beauties that if done right , ROCK

So this is how you do pearls.



Talk about crushes am totally crushing on kelis have y'all seen 4th of July video, she is to dope for words, and quite frankly I ...

Crack is wack

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Thursday, April 22, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 




We all know that crack is whack, but thanks to the too-little-too-late minds at Kimberlily, those of you who insist on wearing those god-awful ultra low-rise jeans of yesteryear can cover that crack and prevent unwanted tip-drills with a bedazzled Backtacular. That, or you can just buy pants that fit your ass.

Green with envy

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Friday, March 26, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 
Green has a way with working with any complexion.....let me show you what I mean

Madonna's pale pink completion in green brightens her up

Rihannas light brown completion is flawless in this green jumpsuite

Beyonce's chocolate brown completion even more sumptous in this jungle green look

Alek Wek's devine black skin sizzles in this green gold look

The secret is learning what each shade of green down for your complection and using it to the max. I dont know about you but am wearing green.

How to DO a sweater

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Monday, March 22, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 
Its getting chilly...especially in the evenings. I usually avoid sweaters like the plague but these cute sweaters just might have me converted.

I would take that scarf and wrap the hell out of my neck and chest

It somehow connects to the socks.....AWESOME!

I would definately layer this lil numba

The fashion gods must be crazy

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Thursday, February 25, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 
Designers are inspired by different things, sex drugs and rock and roll most of the time.

These pants look like those beaded room dividers that act as curtains...its not that they're see through, they just don't look good

honey, please tell me my ass looks fat in this :) LOL

I call this the "everything but the kitchen sink" dress I can already see where my kitchen knives would fit

Yes people these pants are made with pearls, talk about some major thigh grazers....ouch

Dare to wear fashion: Ballsy office wear

Posted by Wambui Wamutogoria on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, In : STYLE/FASHION 
I remember my days as a bank employee, the money was good but I hated the "dress code" I always found a way of bending the laws enough where I was professional but still dope and edgy. Bend the rules Girls!!!

This Ashley Isham get up can work if you wear something under the see through skirt, Otherwise this could work as is if you work in the playboy mansion

This Erdem outfit will work as is but if they have a jacket rule at your office you can easily throw a cropped one over this dress

I would...

Rose on the cover of Vogue

MODELS DYED BLACK

Stirring up controversy...

Just two weeks ago, Vogue Paris stirred up controversy for coloring Lara Stone’s skin into a dark, nearly black tan for an editorial photographed by Steven Klein.
 


It’s a misstep on Carine’s part that the spread is linked with racism.  If they would like to feature a black model for a supermodel issue, they could get Naomi or Liya at any time. However, ther...
