Definately hot: 2011 color recap

There is no denying in it. Stop blocking colors are the hottest thing now.  It seemed as it would change in the fall, but the bright colors stuck around with yet a more smooth and soft approach. Still no more worries about combining yellow and pink. Craziness is all allowed. As a matter of fact it looks fabulous. Since colors is not an unfamiliar thing to African women, this is absolutely a trend we can make use of and even combine it with tribal accessories. Since 2012 is just around the corner, let’s have a look at 2011’s trend we can take with us into the new year. 

90's Swag is Back

Look at the high waist and washed jeans, the crazy t-shirts, the colourful make up, the golden bungles, the sneakers, the heels, the furr. This reminds me of something: the 90’s! I did a little research here and there and my conclusion is: 90’s swag is back!

Take a look at the old pictures of hip hip-group Salt n Pepa, for example. Lots of the swag has come back. I personally love it. Here are more fashion items that have come back to 2011.

More, under the cut.

90's Swag is Back

Who would have thought that the 90’s swag would be coming back? Can you remember pleading with your parents to get the leather backpack, because you absolutely loved it? What I see is the backpack and satchel trend of the 90’s has found its way back into fashion. See the way Rihanna rocks the leather backpack. Spring has started and I’ve found some for you to buy online. More under the cut.

Definately hot: The head turban

I will admit this: I was not a fan when I saw SATC’s fashionable Carrie Underwood with a head turban. I thought it looked strange. You know, the head turban is tied differently from our traditional African head wear. Fan or no Fan, the head turban is in Fashion! And there are ways to rock it fab!

Patricia Field is responsible for the turban in SATC. But celebrity stylist June Ambrose also owns this look. Her fantastic work can also be viewed in Chrisette Michele’s video- Imma star. This is a trend. The turban Trend! Coloured women, lets follow. We can use our African printed fabric.
