Double delight: Rihanna and Alicia Keys at the Grammy Awards 2012

There's so much talk and excitement right now as the Grammy's are taking place. From the red carpet, to the performances and the awards. It's a very good time for publicity so you never know what these crazy celebs may pull off. I was very curious to know how Rihanna would look, ever since she debuted her new look. She wore a gold cuff, clutch and a sexy black Armani dress, she said she designed herself which showed off her amazing body. No surprise there since she recently did a lingerie and jeans campaign for th designer. There were a lot of black dresses on the red carpet and also another famous singer wearing Rihanna's shoes! Alicia Keys attended with her husband Swizz Beatz wearing the same shoes as Rihanna and a black dress but they still had totally different looks so I'm sure they didn't need to avoid each other all night. Rihanna's father and brother Rajad came along.

The latest collection from Vlisco is inspired by the Orient. Every detail celebrates Eastern fashion from hair and makeup to the kimono sleeves and footwear. The structure of the designs used to display the print brings the art of Origami to mind. Vlisco does not normally have these ready-to-wear garments for sale but you can surely get these rich printed fabrics in earthy tones. Have a look at some of the creations

Here comes February...

First post in February!

ME!

I think it's about time but before I start dishing out fashion-related posts, I felt I should start with something more personal. I just returned to Accra after a long well-deserved Christmas break and I know work is on the way! Beginning of the year means resolutions and I know how hard it is to keep up most times but I thought of a great idea. Why not have resolutions at the beginning of the month? Short-term achievable goals are easier to keep up with and in the long-run there's actually the desired change we work towards. Now I have some personal resolutions of my own but I also have some i can share. This month, I hope to:

• Drink enough water daily
• Eat more fruits and veggies
• Come up with a good beauty routine for my skin (cleansing, toning and moisturizing)

Sure enough, I will be back to report myself if I do or don't keep up!

Thank you so much for reading my blog XoXo

P.S. This weekend is Valentine's weekend...wonder what I'll be up to :o)
