[AFRICA INSPIRED]

"I am passionate about mixing and matching colours and I love nothing more than to make a stunning entrance. My collection accentuates the feminine, the brave and the sexy within all of us and it's my mission to bring out the colourful goddess in every woman." Hazel Aggrey-Orleans.

[DESIGNER PROFILE]

Anisa who clothing line is called Lion Cloth and Ashes, as per her bio:

" Born in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania, to diplomats, Anisa was a child of the fine arts. In her early years, armed with crayons and colour pencils her mother's walls became her canvas. ........".My biggest wish is to have my name in an International Fashion text book, so that my grandkids and their friends could see that it is okay to follow a belief and for my country to be proud of me ..."

To me if Anisa continues this way her dreams will come true.

If I was ever pregnant again...I need this

This is just such a stylish designed dress.. I would wear this dress with my Military boots and call it a day.

Should you need any information here is the website (ASOS). the Maternity clothing is very affordable and fashionable.

Via Momnoir

This is the All black everything website relating to all moms of color. Just launched one week and a half ago. Love the style of the website.

What I also like is that she is showing there are many different aspects of being a mom but yet, style and health while taking good care of yourself as a mother. One thing which we MOM have a hard thing doing.

All in all she is a wonderfully entertaining writer , insightful and 100% Real.

[STARTING OFF VEGAN.....OR NOT!]

So I do not know how this will end up. starting an all vegan diet will take small,very small baby steps. I do like meat in general but my eggs, dairy (cheese, yogurt etc.) we are going to have to work on than going cold turkey. I swear I was having dreams of all that I left behind.... ahhhh help.

I will succeed .

So I just wanted to share this with my readers. Just in case you have not seen it, this little video (thanks to my older brother) has been playing in the house again since yesterday evening. As cute as it was the first 5 times after the 20th time I was sick of it. The baby decided that since she was sick she will bug me until I put it on for her and she was the happy camper for about 20 minute.

Here it is:

Will be Back In a couple of days....

Hey,
