Summer Inspiration - African Print Attire

Because Solange is one of my main style icons, I've been very into African prints. Especially after this outfit worn at The Roots Picnic by Boxing Kitten.


Since then I've been on a non stop search to find inexpensive versions of African Print clothing.
Through y research, I've come across other designers that use the prints and inspire me to did deeper and look harder because the more I see, the more I want them and the more outfits come to mind.



Topshop has this African Print skater skirt (my favorite style of skirt) for $20 (on sale), however, it's no longer available in my size. I spotted it before it went on sale and it still wasn't in my size. (Is is just me or does everyone all of  sudden wear my size when it's time for me to go shopping?)

Stella Jean is the high end and expensive if the designers I've so far and my absolute favorite. The styles and prints are beautiful. Here are three of my favorite styles and items from the label.




You ever get the feeling that you're supposed to know something or have it? Well, Lianne La Havas (LOVE her!) posted a picture on Instagram of her and her band mates before a performance in Glastonbury and I had to find out who/what they were wearing but, I wasn't sure how until... I logged on to Twitter and guess who was on retweeting and responding to fans? The lovely Lianne. So I asked her and she responded!! They are wearing Bombe Surprise which is stationed in Europe and just as costly as Boxing Kitten but, just as worth it.

Here are my favorite pieces that I plan in owning before the summer's out.




Finally, I checked the ASOS Market Place (which I highly recommend) and TADA!!! The Feather Tree has several skater skirts and crop tops that are affordable however, and I am currently finalizing by purchases. But I need more!! So this isn't the end. And when my clothing arrives, I will model and post photos.

Late Night Discoveries...

Tis' 3 o'clock in the morning and I have discovered greatness!

First off, I said I was going to find out who/what brand Solange was wearing and I did. I found it on Tumblr searching through her tag because I knew someone on there had to have known. As, I was typing it into Google, it came up purple, meaning, I had found the brand before and totally forgot! I had a feeling it was the same brand, i just couldn't remember the name.  And then it got even better. The brand, Boxing Kitten, is sold at a store called, Dem Two Hands, in Montclair, NJ, which isn't far from me! With that being said, I'll be there soon.

My other discovery started when my sister asked my to find her a kaftan. I pulled up all of my fashion Google's (Polyvore, Etsy, and Svpply) and on Svpply, I found this vintage store called Lulu Tresors and UGH! So much vintage! I am in LOVE! I started to make a purchase but, coincidentally (because clearly God knew I was gonna end up purchasing everything) the shop will be closed from June 8th - July 12. Just in time.

I am posting the links so that you can discover it for yourself.
