Trends: Back to the Roots!

This season evokes glam safari trips with a touch of ethnicity, a style that suits us afro women beautifully!

The fabrics used to craft blouses, skirts, dresses and jackets is light and natural. Mix up textures like linen and cotton with silky pieces for a more polished look.

The palette is rich and full of contrasts. Diverse earthy tones; from dark brown to cocoa to beige for bottoms and jackets. Spicy hues like scarlett red, turquoise, mustard and orange make the perfect accents.

Take note of the must-haves to rock this look:

  • Wide turbans and headbands: a complement that prevailed in several fashion shows, such as Hermès and Prada collections.
  • Hoops XL: This type of earrings are distinctive of the African and Creole women. They were chosen by Roberto Cavalli to provide the attires with a fresh vibe.
  • Makeup: Chose warm metallics like brown, copper and gold to get that sunkissed-super natural look.
  • Hairdos: Go back to basics with hairstyles that resemble the African vibe: braids, weaves, twists and even a puffy afro.

Now it's up to you to adapt the trends to your personal style. It is worth to take the time to choose the elements that gratify you taking into consideration your shape and figure, lifestyle and complexion. Each woman has unique attributes and great outfits make them stand out. Be adventurous and creative with your style. Discover the true you!

Metallic Makeup
I was shopping at The Body Shop the other day and found some amazing eye shadows. The Shimmer Cubes and Shimmer Waves bring a gorgeous selection of tones like cream, pink, copper and coffee with a touch of gold. They look phenomenal on dark skins. During the day I use the creamy shade and mix it with a little bit of coffee to give my eyes a natural look. For a night out, the reddish tone of copper is the best pick to adorn my eyelids with style. I truly recommend them!
