JOY LOVES FASHION

Hi Fab Friends! CulturalToast.com featured 6 fashionable divas: myself, model Georgie Badiel, Angela Simmons, designer Lisa Folawiyo, Zara Okpara and my friend, designer Mimi Plange, wearing fab fashion by African designers during NYFW. They did a poll to choose the favorite and my outfit won! Of course I am totally rocking the heck out of this Jewel By Lisa dress!

Love this!

It was an honor to be featured alongside designer Mimi Plange who was my first mentor while working in my first fashion industry job two years ago! I am a huge fan of her designs. She is incredibly innovative and her Asian inspired Spring 2012 collection inspired me to wear that gorgeous red dress on Day 5 of NYFW. Keep up the fabulous work Mimi!!

And of course you already know that I am a huge fan of Lisa Folawiyo, designer of Jewel by Lisa! I’m wearing her dress : ) She is a favorite of mine and look forward to wearing more of her collection in the future. I love my Nigerian roots : )

Thanks Cultural Toast, u rock!

Hi Fab Friends!

This past NYFW was my busiest and most fun yet. Here are my features from Elle.com, Seventeen.com, essence.com, The Daily Front Row, L’ENTRE DEUX and CulturalToast!

Elle.com

It was honor to be featured on Elle.com. I am wearing a Jewel by Lisa dress! This was by far my fav outfit of the entire week : ) I met the designer Lisa Folawiyo at the Arise Magazine fashion show, where she showed her Spring 2012 collection! She is actually a fan of my blog : ) Fab! She is definitely one of my fav designers.

Here is the full look, show by one of the most fierce fashionista-photographers I know: Mari J Brooklyn! I see her every season and she’s awesome : )

-From Africa to Asia-

I love my TopShop floral platforms so much, I wore them twice for a remixed look : )

The Daily Front Row

THE Magazine of New York Fashion Week: The Daily Front Row interviewed my amazing, boss- Editor-in-Chief of ESSENCE, Constance Whiten about me! Such a fun piece! And I am so loving the photo from last seasons Betsey Johnson show : ) Mercura shades!

Fashizblack’s L’ENTRE DEUX

Fashizblack Magazine’s website: L’ENTRE DEUX, featured 4 of my NY fashion week looks on their website and had the readers pick a favorite. Wow, what an honor! I swear, everything just looks better in French : )

I had the pleasure of styling an African inspired shoot for Fashizblack this past spring, which was one of my most favorite shoots to date! I loved how they named the shoot “Adaeze”.

CulturalToast.com

CulturalToast.com also got in on the ranking, voting my Jewel by Lisa look the  favorite African inspired look of NYFW : )

Seventeen.com

I grew up reading Seventeen Magazine so it was really awesome to be featured on their street style: two season in a row!

Oh, fashion week- you never cease to amaze me!

Thanks to all the magazines and blogs that featured me this season!

Hi Fab Friends!

In honor of our September cover girl, the fab Tracee Ellis Ross, ESSENCE and BET threw a soiree at Shun Lee Restaurant on Day 3 of NYFW. The event also celebrated the upcoming release of Tracee’s new sitcom “Reed Between the Lines”. Attended by BET’s Debra Lee, Corinne Bailey Rae, Malcolm Jamal Warner (Tracee’s co-star)and Teri Agins, it was the perfect end to a glorious day of shows and photo ops! After changing into a chic Wicce dress, Barneys leopard heels and revamping my turban, I headed over to the party with my boyfriend, Obi. Great music, tasty food and good  people: a no-fail recipe for a fab Saturday night!

Earlier that Day…
