MY DESIGN (Edge Un-control)

I wore this outfit, a few weeks back. Woke up and felt a bit like a tom boy, but on the edgy side. So instead of wearing a dress or w skirt like EVERYONE else, I went with this outfit. & i loved it. Its a two piece. for some reason many people thought it was a romper. I made the clutch along with the blouse, with my hammer pants and red pumps.

MY TWO SUPER WOMEN!!

Words cannot express how these two women on my side inspire me. On the left (Late Grandma Mamie Gamanga) on the right (My mommy). I call them super women because they have eared that title. Single parents, Independent, smart, hardworking, God fearing, did I mention...the can throw down in the kitchen? lol. LOVE THEM BOTH VERY MUCH. RIP Grandma/ 4/18/2013

Ankara touch (My design)

Sunday Outfit. I felt so good in this blue get up. I designed it myself...got a plain dress from ross $15.00 and I put some ankara touch on it. I stitched together some ankara rosettes and places in on the neck line, make the matching clutch and I slapped on my red pumps. Hair pulled back with very minimum make-up. Looking back, I should have added on my ruby woo red lipstick. lol

Sunday Best ( My Handmade accessories)

Sunday Best! I paired up my chocolate brown pencil skirts with this really cute wrap around vest I got from my local vintage store. The ankara necklace i'm wearing, I made myself along with the clutch. I then summed everything up with my lime green peep toe heels for Amicluewear.

My 1st Visit to (Madras Palace) Indian Restaurant

I had a blast hanging out with my sister Carol for her birthday. She wanted us to go try to Indian food. At first I cant lie, i was a bit hesitant...just cuz. But the first bite of that orange chicken had me wanting more. As you can see in this picture (man e jabon full) lol. The restaurant was clean, quite and the waitress was pleasant. All in all, I had a great time, and I would recommend anyone to try Madras Palace.

QUEEN OF AFRICA PAGEANT (GREEN/WHITE&BLUE)

Last year summer I bought some big girl panties and ran for a pageant. lol. I can't even lie, I was shaking in my boots. This specific one was hosted by the lovely Natasha Beckley. It was truly an awsome experience. And no guys... I didnt win. :( I may not have gotten the crown, but what I gain was so much more. I saw so much in myself I never though existed. To God be the glory. All things work for the good.

I did however win best dressed with this blue brillian dress I have on in this picture with the lovely (Ruby B. Johnson). She is truly a lovely person, with a heart of gold. By the way, Ruby was miss Sierra Leone 2013.
