Akiiki Fashion Week: Azizi Tights, Arise Magazine Fashion Week: Kiki Clothing, Natural Hair Sway

Akiiki Fashion week has cooked up another tight storm.....Azizi tights,,,,The aztec trend took over in the winter months and I promised myself not to get anything aztec,,,,however!!!....., I came across this print which is of course...African print, with an aztecky (does this word exist??) feel to it...I love it love it love it....love it to bits....So today I assemble before you....the Azizi tights...yum yum yum.....(Azizi means powerful and beloved in Arabic)... The tights are really cute and I thought I would show you how I wore it....The top I am wearing is from an old indian kaftan that I found in a charity shop, cut the sleeves off, put slits on the sides and turned it into a vest....put the screen print x-ray masai image on the front .....I loved how it came out....initially it was a mistake coz I should have used a different print, fabric or ink however gradually as months go by...I fall more deeply in love with the xray look which you do not really see much of out there....

Enjoy Azizi and the x-ray Masai look screen print top(fingers are out of breath writing that!....xxx)

I go on so much about natural hair inspiration, afro this, afro that, afro here, afro there....and yes....thanks again to reader x who emailed me asking to come out and show my hair...my dear darling reader x...I was not hiding from you....today I show you my natural hair...which I am proud of....I hope this calms you down...but thanks for the email because it reminded me of a saying..."if you can talk the talk, you;ve got to walk the walk" therefore I too can walk and talk afro.....(what....lol....)xxx

Day five = Akiiki Fashion Week....the fabric kitchen has cooked up another pair of tights....yes!!! Kiikii, more African fabric tights.....again...i adore this print....red is one of my favourite colours and the prints blend well with every colour....same as the zuri tights and the ones before those....african fabric at the front however this one has red Lycra at the back....black jersey for the back would have been too big a contrast. I thought it worked out for the best...what do you think'????

I guess some of you may wonder why all the fuss and love for African print and fabric....to be honest...I have never seen any better prints that could top african print....if you were creative with it....you would be amazed at how much it could change your wadrobe and notion of "the print is just resigned to African events" is so wrong. I am sort of recreating my wadrobe and incorporating African print in pieces of clothing that I want to get rid of but could make something different out of it...a sort of trend it splurge rather than spend spend it..I tell you something...when you have kids...it all changes...yes...the wardrobe does change and the bank account but you can still dress to thrill and kill without having to stress the bank balance....incorporate different textures, fabric and colours into your clothes and the transformation will amaze you...xx

I dish up the Kiikii tights.....
