Sweet Summer days ...

Thus far our Summer has been filled with lively BBQ's, sunny shopping escapades, and night life that never ends . Some days when your going to an event you wanna just be comfortable and cool because of the blazing heat. In this look Nneoma complimented her piercing red shorts with a floral linen top (Note: The linen allows air to circulate keeping Nneoma cool but still super fetch!) and some easy going loafers .

Heeelllloooo readers, its been awhile since we've updated the blog :-x but as you know there's a reason for everything. We have been super busy these past few months and we know your wondering 'What could you guys have been so busy with, that you couldn't update the blog?'  well we'll fill you in ! We both just got out of school and the end of year exams are always rough and time consuming. We also just started our summer internships, which continuously prepare us for the competitive workforce we one day will readily enter. Nneoma is preparing for African Fashion week, where she will be one of the stylist. Nneoma has also been devoting much of her time to her clients she styles. Sade as you may not know is a full time scholar and although she is on her summer vacation she has been furthering her studies avidly. Sade is also working on her stylist portfolio and building her clientele. We both see the sky as the limit and are always on our grind. We hope to start updating the blog more often until then chow <33

Scarf: Made by his mom :) (knitted(

* Just because its cold doesnt mean do away w. your scarfs' . They are just as much as an accessorie as sunglasses . 

 Shirt: Joy Rich

* Light weight for the warming spring, a nice jacket could top it off on a chilly day

This Winter has been BITTER + Harsh; however, It wont be this way for long. 

In no time Spring will come creepin in w. its rainy days & warm winds. 

With that being said it will soon be time for fella's to put their wool pea

 coats in the cleaners until next year. A friend of ours (mine & nneoma), Corey Smith, 

has already started preparing for the spring season ... 

                   

      

                     

Shoes: Moccasins (Sperry)
* What can I say ? your shoes this spring should be laid back yet clean 'cut' fellas. The rider boots in the winter were extravagant enough. This cool grey complements Cory's outfit .

 Ashton Raheem is an aspiring individual. With his style and swagg he's definitely setting trends and  inspiring people. And he is our new fresh style for "Style of the Week". :)

 

                                    1. Who inspires your style & why ?
 Kanye west, fonzworth bentley, janelle monae, because they show a very unique transcendent look, and they also show a very fearless & artistic image.
       
                 2. If you could wear an item or accessories all year round what would it be?
 I'd wear doc martens all year around, anything in black ;)

                                  3. How do you describe your style?
I would describe my style as being called evolution, its something that changes over a period of time for sure, I'd say I express the way I feel in the way I dress, I show a sence of fearlessness as well as confidence in the way I dress.

                                    4. Tell me anything.. (Hobbies, interest, dreams, aspirations etc.)
Love to shop, love the color black, I'm obsessed with janelle monae, my dreams are to become famous, & I'm just aspired to be a better me !
